This is one of the most interesting pieces i’ve read… some people may be offended by it.. so i’ll apologise beforehand..

THREE RULES FOR WOMEN DRESS CODE

IN ISLAM (SUBMISSION)

FIRST RULE : THE BEST GARMENT

[7:26] “O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of GOD’s signs, that they may take heed.”

This is the BASIC rule of DRESS CODE in the Quran. This is the first rule in WOMEN DRESS CODE in Islam (Submission).

SECOND RULE : COVER YOUR BOSOMS

The second rule can be found in 24:31. Here God orders the women to cover their bosoms whenever they dress up. But before quoting 24:31 let us review some crucial words that are always mentioned with this topic, namely “Hijab” and “Khimar”

THE WORD “HIJAB” in the QURAN

“Hijab” is the term used by many Muslims women to describe their head cover that may or may not include covering their face except their eyes, and sometimes covering also one eye. The Arabic word “Hijab” can be translated into veil or yashmak. Other meanings for the word “Hijab” include, screen, cover(ing), mantle, curtain, drapes, partition, division, divider.

Can we find the word “Hijab” in the Quran??

The word “Hijab” appeared in the Quran 7 times, five of them as “Hijab” and two times as “Hijaban,” these are 7:46, 33:53, 38:32, 41:5, 42:51, 17:45 & 19:17.

None of these “Hijab” words are used in the Quran in reference to what the traditional Muslims call today (Hijab) as a dress code for the Muslim woman.

God knows that generations after Muhammed’s death the Muslims will use the word “Hijab” to invent a dress code that He never authorized. God used the word “Hijab” ahead of them just as He used the word “Hadith” ahead of them.

Hijab in the Quran has nothing to do with the Muslim Women dress code.

:) so u dont think theres nething wrong with my belief that it doesnt state in the Quran.. women MUST wear the hijab?

i know a lotta people wanna burn me alive.... but?

I pretty much agree to all of it. I pretty much wanna burn alive the people who’d want to burn you alive on saying that :hehe:

hehe… :blush: thanx..

the people who confuse me the most are the group of females who say its a must for women to wear hijab.. but dont wear it… and the males who say women must wear the hijab.. but dont want their wives to wear it… whats with that?

if u believe in soemthing.. u should follow it straight thru instaed of condemning another person for not sharing ur view… right?

Some women will disagree with u because they genuinely believe Hijab is farz (from their interpretation), but a lot of them won't know what to make of you because they do it because they've been told it is farz but they don't actually know why, or because of peer pressure, or simply because its 'fashionable'.

At least you've bothered to research it, have thought over it and come to your own decision, which is commendable

^ Thanks Risky... i know of a few females who have worn hijab for all their teen lives.. and once they hit uni.. or an age where they can think for themselves have taken it off... not because they have raed the Quran and their interpretation... only cus they never really wanted to wear it in the first place...

a friend of mine has recently started to wear it as well.. she went back to pakistan.. spoke to a few ladies.. and read a few books and is now wearing the hijab... and im clearly happy for her... but i get confused when i see these same girls not praying.. and think... praying is one of the 5 rukuns of Islam.. Hijab doesnt even come into it... its a verse from the Quran that people have interpreted... namaz is Farz.. its clearly there... then how can one be more important than another?

another that amazes me is girls who do wear hijab but dont cover their bossoms/chest... now that seems to be highlighted in the Quran.. if someone is dead set on thinknig they must cover their heads.. then how do they miss 'covering ur bossoms' section...?

aah my thoughts are all over the place at the moment... i may not be making much sense at all..
