.. So I was given a very expensive dress today as a gift by a muslim family… it was a sleeveless shirt with capri trousers and designed to show cleavage .. the aunti insisted I wear the shirt and show it to them ..
The fact is , I hated it … and upon their insistence I told them most humbly that I will not be wearing it , because I very much care for my modesty and refrain from the skin show…
and i was given a huge lecture from all the girls that fashion is fashion, if i can wear suits to work and trousers and jeans , I should have no issues wearing sleeveless and capri or even dresses that show cleavage …
I was shocked .. cant these pathetic fashion followers see the difference between clothes and nudity? why do we muslims not realize that we are not malika shirawat !!!
We are the ones that make the fashion a trend , we should despise and discourage all nudity , fashion can very well be carried out in full clothes , we dont necessarily have to shed our clothes to create fashion …
Am i old-fashioned? Am i not thinking right? whats going on wth the muslim women , why cant their fathers/husbands/sons stop them from being nude?
Well, sadly this is becoming more and more real now. You just stick to your values. That’s all you can really do.
no ur not wrong, u want to dress modestly, good for you.
Nobody is forcing you to wear (well maybe except for those ladies).
I respect women in hijab but I don’t think they are any better than the girl who is dressed fashionably.
Sara, there is a difference between someone who is dressed fashionably and one who is revealing themselves intentionally. Unfortunately/fortunately as muslims, we know what has been prescribed to us. Yes true Iman is in our hearts, but that still doesn’t make a right thing wrong or a wrong thing right.
