Re: Practicing or Appearing?
tou aap kay khyal say jo sar aur chehra cover nahi kerti woh dozakh main jayen gi? chehra cover kernay say namaz invalid ho jati hai, right?
Hijab and awra are two different things…in awara we must cover certain parts of the body including head/hair during salaat. Hijab is fardh but it has different forms and you’ll find people following different clothing and styles to follow a certain awra or criteria which is acceptable to the norms of the society. And by acceptable I mean men find it normal and don’t find it offensive or attractive. Jaisay Pakistan kay kuch ilaqon main you must wear shalwar kameez halan kay cover tou jeans and long and loose top bhi ker saktay hain magar you’ll get stares for wearing western clothing.
For some muslim societies it is pretty normal to show belly and for some the shins. However they must follow the awra described in hadith for namaz.
Makkah main most aurtain used to leave their breasts uncovered before the ayahs were revealed and believe me I have seen women who wear abaya and niqab but still show off their bosom with their body language. That’s because they haven’t understood the verses.
Showing bosom and cleavage is unacceptable in public (unless someone has to breastfeed her baby) in all Islamic cultures and societies because Quran is very clear on that. The ultimate purpose of hijab is not to seek for unwanted attention from men (basically not to have slutty attitude and attire).
Sad thing is muslim men have become highly obsessed with hijab/niqab when there’s no need for it. Most muslim women dress modestly and according to their norms.
Muslim men must drop this idea of covering each and every 12+ girl in black tent because they “believe” that is what a most pious woman must do. Islam promotes diversity and tolerance, not monoculture.
Lady Niqab is order of ALLAH that is fardh Muslim women have to do it lady their is no question of so called need here that is order of ALLAH and Muslim women have to follow it other wise every women will form her own standards of modesty that is why ALLAH has given clear cut orders and by the way read Quran again you are using wrong terms lady
