You dont get what I mean, what Im saying is that Allah says ‘Do not reveal their beauty except for what is apparent’, now the term ‘what is apparent’ changes from society to society. In India, if a woman wears sari, then her belly is apparent, and she wont be considered immodest but if she wears those same clothes in Arabia, then she would considered very very very immodest. You get what I mean? Like Allah tells us to use our stregnth to the utmost of our power and our best horses in war (in Surah Anfaal verse 60), now we in this era have planes and tanks, does this mean we should stop using planes and tanks and start using horses? Of course not, that verse is to be taken metaphorically in out era. Allah orders women to cover their Bosom with their Khimar, the order in this verse is not for the use of the khimar but the covering of the bosom with another piece of cloth over the shirts (such as Dobatta in Pakistan). Covering of the hair was an arab tradition, they were doing this before this verse even came down. It was their fashion, it was a way to protect oneself from the sunlight and it was a sign of modesty. In their era uncovering the hair was a very immodest act so much that even if the bosom was left uncovered, the hair should be covered. Then Allah revealed that NO your bosom must be covered. In our society uncovering the Hair is not immodest at all. Go through the book I have written. Allah has not specified the covering of the hair.

If you say that modesty comes from the society then where lies the “SUNNAH” and “HADITH”? These fashions of saris revealing their bosoms was in fact the ways of the non-Muslims and was adopted by the Muslims of India too. Dancing on the streets is very common in Hindu marriages in India and is not considered immodest in their religion and society so do you suggest that Muslim women in India should do the same?

Our religion does not restrict us to use horses and swords but the rules for modesty have been clearly laid out for all the nations to follow. Roaming in bikinis is not a factor of awe in western countries so do you suggest Muslim women should follow the same living there? Using facilities is not prohibited in Islam but misusing them is certainly not appreciated.

I think the perception that one should follow the culture of the society has mistaken people to amend their religions.
