Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
You still have to meet most of the Emiratis& Kuwaitis women who wear abbayas & hijab, but are far from decent!!!!!!
people need to look further into the meaning of hijab.....it's not just a headcovering you know....
if these women are doing things that are not decent....then they are not observing hijab....even if they do wear a headscarf.
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
I dont know what the big deal about "hijabis" is. Just because they cover their hair when they re out in public does not mean that they follow Islam in its entirety. I know hijabi girls who smoke, hang out with men till like 2 in the morning, have bfs etc. And their head is covered with a carf but their cleavage has no coverage. So people who automatically assume that a headscarf mean piety, have something seriously wrong with them.
once again......these type of girls....are not observing hijab. They are just wearing a mere headcovering. :)
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
danial,
not a bad topic.
but what makes you think that anyone has the right to put their value on the sentiment attached with hijab, in the mind of the hijab wearer??
respect for tradition, attributed to a religion stipulation, family expectation, or personal choice - can all be reasons for this head gear being adorned by Muslim women.
it is true that their actions, have to befit the head gear, whose indicative property is to portray a modest believing woman.
and, the way one carries oneself alone, is enough to send the message to ther people, as to how self respecting someone is - with hijab or without.
doing things out of one's accord as a young responsible adult
are much more satisfying and genuine, then doing anything in the world, which is forced out of anybody. & same is for hijab adorning. for hijab wearers, the wearing paramounts to living up to the character of a modest woman. and in an age of symbolism, and icons, why does it matter that a piece of cloth is causing so much provocation when it covers the head and face, whereas from a missing point of view, when missing on the rest of the body of a woman, it does not.
the onus ought not to be placed on women, but the whole system of socialization about and for women who are veiled or unveiled and how they are pereived. *that * needs to be taken care of.
as a neutral instance, traditional attire of british men in a parade wear skirt like shorts. is that modest for a man to show his legs?
best,

Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
seems like poor puppy was dumped by a hijaban (and prolly is not getting any anymore) thus the over-flowing love for the hijabanz 
:halo: :rolleyes:
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
Well, its not about "hijab"or be-hijabi. Its precisely about the attitudes, the aptitudes over all. "hijab" is not the guarrantee the one wearing is all modest, chaste and following the reccomendations by the deen in the fullest sense of the terms.. Like these days there is a trend in Pak for the whores to put on burqas when they are out for hunting.. so this is one aspect. Now look at those emiratiies and even those who live in KSA.. at Mecca, in Haram you find this one gorgeus arabic woman, clad in a black gown head to toe, but ironically nothing beneath it! and this is something more than a "suni sunayi" those who are first hand observes will agree!
So where the gown, or hijab or anything is worn merely to follow a life style or a tradition, that has nothing to do with the true implication of wearing a hijab. Hijab actually is a recommendation by Allah and the Prophet Sal Allah o Aleh Wa Alehe Wasalam for those who have faith. Now why each a woman puts it on varies widely. For me, i start wearing it when i was 12. I confess because it is strictly observed in our family so it was more of a tradition following than an impulse.. But agree, it does claim an air of respect. One might wonder, what is hidden inside the burqa, but well, the dirty mind can spread dirt whenever it starts working. So this profane visualisation and imagination has nothing specifically to do with hijabs or hijabis only.
As far as this piece of writing is concerend, to me, it sounds like an outbrust of a frustrated mind, out and out enraged and biased. Its a try to justify behijabi and discourage an attempt to hijab.. I agree with tariql, one may or may not observe what the religion prescribes, atleast one should show some respect.. After all we are the "Ummah" descended upon earth as the "best example" for the others. We are what we reflect and how we act!

\Oh yes danial brother, dont read everything you read :p its kinda naive :D
uske ilawa, kuch to Allah swt ka kauf karo :)
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
Those who don't wear they should keep their mouth shut and keep walking instead of staring at hijabs and passint stupid comments.
Its true just because one does not wear hijab it does not make them any less muslim then the one who does. Allah is the one who will judge them.
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
that might be ok if we dont practice a recommendation of our Deen
ummm it's not a "recommendation", pal. I believe it's mandatory.

Your'e wrong, a paki friend of mine was convincing our teacher (and hence it must be true), that it says in the Quran that wearing the scarf is our choice... besides, its just arab culture, us pakis aren't meant to wear it!
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
^ it must be true because your "paki friend" was trying to convince your teacher? Please show me this convincing evidence in the Quran.
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
^i was being sarcastic! i know it is fardh!
actually the incidence happened when our school came up with strict uniform guidelines, in summer, EVERYONE had to wear dresses (which were above our knees), the only exception was given to girls who were muslims (who were understood as such bcoz they wore the scarf)... they were allowed to wear the winter uniform (long sleeve shirt with pants) in the summer. Now the pakis complained and complained and complained saynig what I mentioned above... they wanted to wear the shirt+pants minus the scarf... finally the teacher got "fatwas" from both sunni and shia scholars saying that wearing the scarf is not an "arab thing", rather a religous one! itni sharam aati thi, being a muslim in an environment where christians have to teach us what our religion says :(
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
Wait, so exceptions were given to the Muslims, that only if they wear scarf, they can wear the winter uniform… but the ones who wont wear a headscarf, they have to stick to the summer uniform? 
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
yes, that were the only two options given to Muslims… either dress in the full Muslim uniform, or u have to wear what all other goras wear.
Re: To My Dear Hijabi sister
I hate to sound repetetive but this fact is so true and clear yet so misunderstood. Hijab is more than just a headscarf. It is the lowering of one's gaze as to not make unnecessary eye contact with non mehrams, the lowering of one's sweet voice and cute giggle around a non-mehram; its about covering that hair that when dyed a certain color and styled a certain way can make not one but many men look at you and perhaps fantasize about you. Its about modesty and chastity in every aspect of your appearance and the way you present yourself from the way you walk, talk, smile, eat, joke, etc
So yes, I agree with the author of the blog in a lot of things that do make a "hijabi" even more luring and attractive to men. Wearing a Chanel headscarf with the Dior heels does take away from teh purpose of the hijab because they are not following all the rules of hijab.
So I think that Eteraz should rename the title as "To my dear Headscarf wearing Sister" and that would be more suitable perhaps. Its easy to generalize about "hijabis" for even the slightest flaw in their behavior and appearance but who is to say? really, Do, Speak, and Think with the intention of pleasing Allah swt only and for your purpose assume that whatever someone else is doing they are doing for Allah swt also..... and then you won't have unnecassary blogs to write...
agh.. I dont even know if i'm makig sense towards the end but the moral of my story: Get a life and stop hating on hijabis... we're not perfect but at least we try for the sake of Allah swt. Its about the faith of La illaha illAllah that we not only carry in our hearts and tongues... but in the way we dress also. Let the world know your Muslim and damn proud of it.
And May Allah swt guide us in the Straight path in All of our actions and thoughts. Ameen
