Re: When fashion becomes vulgarity ...
Sara:
I know all girls get hit on.
But why more increase the hazard and liklehood of it by dressing in an inviting way.
I know a girl in shalwaar kamiz can also be open to guys.
Im not crediting her.
Both are equally wrong.
The first type shud correct her actions, i.e clothing, the second shud correct her intention, i.e flirty mindset
Re: When fashion becomes vulgarity ...
Very well said Amir ...
Ninjas is a derogatory term and some twits think its funny.guess what you wouldnt like it if it was directed at you. I donot think all women who dress chastely are indeed considered chaste by Allah. But lets see what has Allah said to women about women dressing?
Surah an-Nur verse 31 reads: 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, 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 God together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful.
Surah al-Ahzab verse 59 reads: O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw their outergarments (jilbabs) close around them; that is better that they will be recognized and not annoyed. And God is ever Forgiving, Gentle.
So i suggest that while we cant judge people on how they dress we can certainly judge whether someone is dressed chastely or not. You donot develop modesty by showing body parts. Some women have this phobia of bringing hijabis into everything, i think they are the ones with inferiority comples, khisyani billi khamba nochay. What do women who dress in provocative clothes have to say for their modesty? that they know better than Allah? And all those enlightened men who do 'hear,hear' every time a woman sheds somes clothes are the first ones to oggle at her and discuss her like a piece of meat. Quran clearly talks about extending head covering, doesnt go ahead to advocate as long as you consider yourself pure go and shed the scarf.
Good point and i'm glad someone posted these verses from the Quran!
This isn't directed to anyone on GS, but in my own personal life i've seen a lot of times non-hijabi's criticizing hijabi's and saying how they're all bad and do bad things and that they're not perfect Muslimah's. But i don't think i've ever heard a hijabi call a non-hijabi a "slut" or make her feel inferior...but this may be just in my experience. I really think when non-hijabi's see a hijabi they automatically feel they're being judged even if in reality they're not...i guess u can call it some kind of a complex.
No one's perfect...but at least those hijabi's are making some effort. And the verses mentioned above make it CLEAR to us that women should cover and dress modestly. It's obviously the woman's choice...but please don't justify it and say it's ok. It might be ok in today's society, esp in the west. But Islamically it's not.
and you know what is worse than women showing cleavage? women who dont have cleavage trying to show cleavage..really..what gives
that is actually more decent than those wimminz who have too much cleavage.
And vulgarity is nothing more than impropriety. There are plenty of ladies who look perfectly well-polished and good and well and decent in Sleeveless and Capris. If however you don't have the figure for them then that is hardly the fault of the trend.
Genius brova u fail to see that a woman can be dressed like crap, greasy hair, no makeup, sweats, be totally fugly and STILL guys holler at her. Its just annoying as hell.
this is more true than otherwise. guys actually hit on you MORE when you ball-around in matted hair and joggers.
But me and my flat mate have speculated that this may be an elaborate display of irony.
^ pindi - your expert opinion was all that was missing.
u are hilarity
