Re: Debating the Hijab
LydiaQureshi:
Like in the other thread about women going to heaven and hell, all the stuff she does for her baby, carrying it in her womb, breastfeeding etc etc will get all these awards and in fact if she dies during childbirth, she will be a shaheed, but then she’ll go to hell coz she wasnt doing purdah (which is somewat subjective) so i dunno, its very confusing… so wat if she didnt do hijab but died giving birth, do those two cancel out? That’s what i said in the toher thread, maybe coz im not positive about the concept of shaheed
And i do think hijab is obligatory, i cant fool myself into thinking that covering wiht ur clothes is enough, but scarf is too…everything else is clear, modest clothing, behavior, actions etc, but its just the covering your hair that everyone debates on..** i felt ugly wearin it and i feel ugly not wearin it..**
if you feel ugly either way… then you really have nothing to lose by wearing it. Why not wear the hijab and please Allah (SWT)? Im sure that pleasing Him should make you feel good..dont u think?
