Re: Top 10 excuses by women who don’t wear the Hijab
While there is no denial of the importance of honesty and humbleness in Islam but its not “more important” than praying 5 times as you have mentioned. let me put it the way I understand it THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN 5 TIMES PRAYER. THERE IS NO RELAXATION THERE. YOU HAVE TO PRAY 5 TIME. ONLY RELAXATION IS FOR TRAVELLER AND FOR WOMEN IN SPECIFIC DAYS BUT THEY DO HAVE TO OFFER QAZA. Namaz is one thing that separates Muslims from non-muslims warna tu non-muslims bhee honest & humble hotey hain bal-k hum sai ziada hee hotey hain.
Now here is something about Hijab. I’ll not say anything, you guys/galz are mature enough to read, understand and conclude. (I am not quoting Hadis coz of some ppl who
dont give much importance to Hadit)
Surah an-Nur ayah 31 says:
Wa qul li al-mu’minat yaghdudna min absarihinna wa yahfazna furujahunna wa laa yubdina zenatahunna illa maa zahara min haa wal-yadribna bi khumurihinna ala juyubihinna; wa laa yubdina zenatahunna illa li bu’ulatihinna aw aba’ihinna aw aba’i bu’ulatihinna aw abna’ihinna aw abna’i bu’ulatihinna aw ikhwanihinna aw bani ikhwanihinna aw bani akhawatihinna aw nisa’ihinna aw maa malakat aymanu hunna aw at-tabi’ina ghayri ulu’l-irbat min ar-rijal aw at-tifl alladhina lam yazharu ala awrat an-nisa wa laa yadribna bi arjulihinna li yu’lama maa yukhfina min zenatahinna. Wa tubu ilaAllahi jami’an, ayyuha al-mu’minun la’allakum tuflihun
Translation:
“And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful”
Surah al-Ahzab ayah 59 says:
*Ya ayyuha an-Nabiyy qul li azwajika wa banatika wa nisa al-mu’minin yudnina alayhinna min jalabib hinna; dhalika adna an yu’rafna fa laa yu’dhayn. Wa kana Allahu Ghafur Rahim
*
Translation:
O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw their outergarments (jilbabs) close around themselves; that is better that they will be recognized and not annoyed. And God is ever Forgiving, Gentle.
Together, these two ayat lay out seven commandments for Muslim sisters:
- “to lower their gazes”
- “to guard their private parts”
- “not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it”
- “to extend their headcoverings to cover their bosoms”
- “not to display their beauty except to their husbands or their fathers…”
- “not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide”
- “to draw their outergarments close around themselves”
God knows better. May God guide us all.
