Re: Hijab and Veil Issue...An article i wrote a while back...
hm......i dnt wear a hijab.....but it doesnt mean i'm the WORST of all muslims.......i mean i usually pray 5 times a day Allahumdulillah.....i try to read the Quran morning and night.....but the one thing i dnt do is wear a hijab.....and im not making any excuses.....but sometimes people dnt wear it because they dnt feel comfortable?....or because the environment forces them to?
Sister....I'm not calling you a bad person nor I'm forcing you to wear hijjab.
Hijjab is an obligation to Allah for both men and women and i Think you understand that....If we don't do anything that we supposed to do this is to do with our level of Iman and how our Lord chooses to judge us.
I am happy to hear that you pray. Because in Islam there is a level of priority in things. Though doing hijjab and praying are both required, confirming the prayer takes higher priority. Slowly we should improve our levels of Iman through ibadah. Some societies such as Saudi Arabia don't have the same issues as Muslims from emerging cultures, such as Pakistan. We have to find ourselves, but they have a mature culture already. I hope you understand what I am saying? There some women that I have seen who wore their khimars (head scarves) whilst wearing really tight fitting clothes and loads of make up, other swear and play around with boys and other still smoke cigarettes. Wearing the hijjab doesn't make the woman better, it just means that she is doing one more requirement that Islam wants from her.
