Re: Do you think this statement is true about women of present age ?
This isn't acidic enough..
An empirical evidence is the difference between the acitivity of female members of GS in Fashion & Beauty section and the Religious section.....the stark difference is activity level is an evidence that the statement by RAW is correct..
Re: Do you think this statement is true about women of present age ?
why are all your threads on women (hating)? troll.
Re: Do you think this statement is true about women of present age ?
Women, centuries ago, also beautified and maintained themselves by applying olive oil to the skin, henna to the hair, kohl to the eyes, etc.
One thing to consider is that NOW.....we have a greater understanding of the skin and it's structure (the various layers, what things age the skin, how the aging can be slowed or reversed, etc)....and the advancement of technology has also resulted in treatments that can better penetrate the skin and give effective results.
The increase in knowledge...development in techonology....has led to greater options and this can also account for greater interest in self-maintenance. These things, for example, weren't around back then. Had they existed then, maybe the women of that time period would have also implemented them. Life has changed quite a bit. I'm not saying that Islam is confined to a particular time period. Even today....with all the options and conveniences.....there still needs to be a balance between deen and duniya...and one should try to implement religious teachings in their day to day activities. But it's something to consider and factor in.

1) Justice is rare commodity in Muslim world.. 2) Lying is first thing muslim do when he start talking 3) cheating have become norm in muslim society, the one who do not cheat is considered dumb 4) Kindness and Honesty has been banned and the threat is it may vanish from the dictionary of muslim world... ..
Well said, that is actually related to the first part of my post, that this aspect has been discussed many times and commonly known to common people

He then mentioned many commonly known and discussed qualities of the companions (Suhabas) of the Prophet (saw) that can not be found in present age MEN!

As I said earlier (and it has been said many times), no one is blaming make-up. In fact I was surprised with this comment, because I didn't think about it that way before in my life. What forced me to think over it was the fact that I always used to strongly feel that my mother, sister, wife and other female relatives are a lot more blessed than me and other male members of our family, (in terms of loving nature, teaching with logical reasoning, patience, and tolerance) when it comes to guidance of the younger ones, but some how they never find much time for it, even though they are at home most of the time. It is always quite hurting to see such talent and capabilities not utilized for what it used to be utilized in the earlier times of Islam. The credit of a child's good character was always given to mothers, whose role was quite deep in development of every capability of a child, by the grace and mercy of Allah (swt).
I might be totally wrong, but I feel that mostly men (specially the ones like me) in present age **relatively **don't possess much qualities of developing the character of the next generation, when we compare with women of present age.

I think R.A.W is talking about women in Pakistan, most of them concentrate too much on make up and clothes.
Re: Do you think this statement is true about women of present age ?
lol Hareem...women in pakistan are not living on some other planet where they dont have anything to do else than putting on make up or watching tv etc...
yes may be a few of them would only be found into meaningless activities but saying that about all the women in pakistan is not right.

that reminds me .. .. aaj kal ki larkian, kamaal karti hain - pehla kalma ata nahi aur english mai baat krti hain
I was listening to a person who was explaining the causes of decline of 'Muslims' in the present age. (Of course that can't be related to western culture because unlike them, the success of a Muslim Society is in the lifestyle of our Prophet (saw) and his wives). He then mentioned many commonly known and discussed qualities of the companions (Suhabas) of the Prophet (saw) that can not be found in present age MEN!
What I found surprising and unexpected was the difference he mentioned between the women of the present and the past. First he mentioned how strong was the relationship our role models among women had with Allah (swt), like Hazrat Khadija (r.a), Hazrat Fatima (r.a)....etc. that their prayers were accepted even before they raised their hands. How most of their time was spent in remembrance of Allah (swt), teaching and learning of Quran, character development of the new generation (as children were mostly influenced by mothers than fathers) and all the things that were 'mostly' related to the benefits of the hereafter. But then he mentioned something very common in todays women that rarely used to consume so much time of our role models:
*"Aaj kal ki auraton ko bannanay sawarney ke ilawa kuch sujhta hi nahin" *
Translation: Todays women don't seem to think much about anything more than beautifying themselves.
Do you think that this attitude of few women to spend 'most' of their time in physical presentation and watching the stuff (fashion shows, dramas,...etc.) that promotes their advertisement as a sexual object/decoration piece (sorry, but thats what media is promoting) has led to the decrease of their degree in a society that used to previously respect and honor her more because of her stronger personality and contribution in development of the character of the next generation ?
p.s. Please let us share our views with logical reasonings and respect. There is no need for us to get overly emotional and attack the ones who don't agree with us.

No I was talking about women I know personally but there is a Beauty Parlour in each and every galli and sometimes 4 or 5 salons in one street so it does tell a lot about their behaviour.
