Re: Why do Pakistan women dress like Arabs in America?

I’m not a hijabi but this was a very lovely post..

@shummy

This thread has saddened me so much that these so called men have such hatred towards abaya wearers. Like the other abaya wearers I wear it for convenience but I can’t believe we condemn the BNP and right wingers when our own hold such ignorant patriotic views. First and foremost I couldn’t care less about Arabs. I care
for Arabic as I like to understand it so I can understand the Quran and appreciate it better rather than rely on the English. I’d like to ask you guys where you get your views from? Have you ever asked an abaya wearer why she wears it or would you rather make up your own mind?

In a way in glad you guys repel abaya wearers so much it’s serving one of it’
many purposes!

Across all schools of thought a basic requirement of hijab is to conceal the figure. Now I’m flippin petite but no skirts, maxi dresses salwar kameezcompletely hides
my little curves unless I layer with long cardis etc. That takes forever. We abaya wearers are busy women. I have a class to teach and a child to lookafter I do not have time to change out of my clothes every time I go out or layering. I love my figure and love
fashion. If I see something in a magazine be it salwaar kameez or a short skirt. I want it to look how the model wearing it looks not ten sizes too big so I feel like grandma whereas the abaya looks on me how it’s MEANT to look. If Pakistanis invented the abaya I would wear it. If indians invented the abaya I would wear it. It is convenient something you guys cannot relate to so shame on you for talking about hijab when you don’t even get the practical side.

Hijab is one part of my Islam as is namaz and zakat. Nobody is perfect. If people think I’m more religious cos I wear abaya then they’re pretty thick. Only Allah is in a position to judge me as he knows me. Nobody else. I’m not perfect I try not to but I curse I’m also really impatient. Good Muslims are patient. Should I then stop wearing hijab and wear form fitting clothes to reflect my personality. So everybody who is imperfect cannot follow Islam cos he may give out an inaccurate image? Whose problem is that really? We live for Allah to judge us not our mates not the imam or whoever. The looser the clothing the less men drool so hijab is better for society. I know this as I never used to wear hijab and it wasn’t good as men would look. Abaya for me is better safe than sorry. I’m confident my shape is hidden I wouldn’t feel as confident in other clothes nor would I feel good wearing baggy clothes when
they’re meant to be fitted damn it.

That post about fetishes had me in stitches. I feel sorry for you. People have fetishes for anything and everything, hijab included so let’s stop wearing it. Pathetic.

The saddest thing is seeing so many on here with mentalities similar to many right wingers, judging without knowledge and breeding more ignorance and hatred cos somebody doesn’t look or dress the way you’d like them to. Shame on you and may Allah guide you and increase your knowledge and understanding of Islam.
