Practicing or Appearing?

@R.A.W

A merchant shaved off his beard 6 months after keeping it. When asked about it, he said, “It is a disgrace of beard when I lie and do other bad things while keeping beard”

The reply was,“Instead of shaving off the bad habits from your character for the sake of beard, you decided to do the opposite ?!?”

I don’t know why people associate hijab with a woman’s virtue. What I understand from Quran is that God has suggested to women to cover themselves appropriately to avoid unwanted attention. For example, I don’t wear a headscarf in Rabat coz I’m not attracting anyone but in Meknes I do coz I feel safer and mingled with a scarf on. In UK, I feel hatred when in public coz white people think I’m an alien so I take it off again. Now go ahead and judge me all you want but I’m not a less Muslim coz of my understanding of hijab is different to that of hanbali or deobandi or brelvi.

Now this concept of “uniform” all the women in black burqas is actually alien to Islam and only started when wahabis took over Saudi. Islam does not promote monoculture like the modern West.
