I will make it short and simple for you lot ( dont I always). I want to know what your personal opinions are about women who wear a hijab. I know this topic has been discussed in the past numerous times, but this is not a religious discussion. I want to know if you met/know any hijabans and what you think of them. I always want to know what ideas about them you had in mind before you met them.
I know all this sounds silly , but Im really interested. Take this seriously please, because if you dont Im going to take my shoe and deal with you all if need be.:o
For now I will say that most people misjudge hijabans, soley because they have ideas/opinions/expectations of what a hijaban “might” be like. Unfortunate indeed, but bring forth your views. Misconceptions galore.
Thank the Lord we have at least one sensible person amongst us.
matsui- expand on that or get out.I need proper explanations as to why you believe so. I can pretty much sum up what all of you think - but I need to know why.
If someone can see my face and all of me, i would like to see that person’s face too. Sometimes it is hard to tell if you are talking to a person or a mailbox.
First thought that pops into my head is - why is she doing it - is she trying to show something to people or is there pure intent? Which then switches over to "why the hell am I judging - I do way worse already - a girl trying to impress people with a hijab is not sinful next to my actions at all"
I see the person first, regardless of age, gender, religion, culture, locality, disability, or even hijab.
Every person should be treated as an individual no matter what. People who place lables and traits to a particular person because of what they look like,where they live, what they believe in, how they speak..etc, are very shallow.
Im not going to automatically respect or like someone just because they do a certain thing, it has to do with how they treat me.
You make "hijabans" sound as if they are not people but some sort of..i dont know? sect?or society? group?...im having a blonde moment, can't think of the correct word...sorry!
Hijab or no hijab it don't matter...it all comes off. but hijabis are more judgemental of others because of their self imposed supposed moderation confused with piety.
i respect ppl like yourself :queen: dil kai raaz tu janeeey khuda vandai kudosah so keep it up. i’m sure your wellwishers will be proud of you or anyone else for that matter if u adhere strictly to our deen.
OK Im a hijaban yet I ask myself the exact same questions! I think that instead of assuming that oh shes religious and so forth, treating her as just another female should be first right? I mean come on, a hijab doesnt mean shes following Islam to perfection, but it also does not mean she is doing the complete opposite.
What Ive noticed- with other females - is that if they do not wear hijab, they feel threatened when they meet somebody who does wear it. I dont know if “threatened” is the right word to use. But its the only one that comes to mind. I want to know why they feel this way. Theres more to it then just a hijab. And when “some” guys meet a hijaban, they think shes going to be this naive ignorant little thing who doesnt have a mind of her own. They’re even too scared to say hi.Its ridiculous.
I always thought these generalizations were very rare and very few people actually thought this way. However I swear its getting worse. Sometimes i wonder if some people ever bother to think.
MQ, you can't compare jhilbab with a modest dress code. Its so not the same thing. And if you wear just head scarf then you shouldn't say that you wear hijaab, cuz its not the same at all.
(not trying to offend, jus trying to correct you.)
As long as it is worn as a cultural identity reference, it is OK, but when someone wears it feel morally superior is when it loses respect in my eyes. If someone believes that wearing one over one’s head make one morally superior needs to get his/her head examined.
Ah finally I got a comment I was looking forward to. Now what hijab have you met and know personally who thinks this way?
This comment is something I get a lot! I want to know how somebody can think that about me if they dont even know me?
Missy m— lets just say those people are ignorant and not shallow. Plus we can say we believe a certain way, yet we might not realize we might not be following what we think we might be.
You make “hijabans” sound as if they are not people but some sort of..i dont know? sect?or society? group?..im having a blonde moment, can’t think of the correct word…sorry!
Im trying to sound like the complete opposite. But its interesting to see that the grouping and sects came to your mind anyhow.
