Why do Pakistan women dress like Arabs in America?

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

^ how so?

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

^ pant and shirt is worn by chinese, koreans, europeans, australians, sri lankans etc. but abaya is a trademark of arabs. thus, i cannot be accused of being a poser of anyone as pant and shirt is a universal clothing. however, any muslim girl who is so infatuated with arabs and wears an abaya can (and in most cases rightly so) be accused of 'poserism'.

Oh and someone mentioned earlier of these girls using urdu words with an arabic accent; HAH! My gosh i feel sorry for them; if only they knew how pathetic they sounded..

Hit a nerve!! I am surprised abhi tak pathrao nahin shru huwa! :hehe: :tomato:

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

Oh there's plenty wrong with wearing something that the Taliban forcibly imposed on women in Afghanistan.

Surely if they want to wear a burka so badly that they can get themselves a one way plane ticket to Peshawar. Why come to the West and pollute the environment with such backward garb?

The fact that they wear the burka means that they are making a statement that endorses al-Qaeda and the brutality of the Taliban, and you know it.

So yes, there is SOMETHING wrong with a woman or two wearing a burka in the West.

Man can't get married again without his wife's permission.

Seems like you're the one who's picking and choosing ayahs and ahadith. Sorry to say but you have very little knowledge about Islam. Please read about hijab in Quran and ahadith.

Educated muslims know that hijab and growing beard is an order from Allah and His messenger(SAW) and they will get reward for doing so.

Our Prophet Muhammad(SAW) was an Arab, I'd love to be like him and Arab Sahabiyat. You can follow anyone you like.

Surah Ahzab
(59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their Jalabib over their bodies. That will be better that they should be known so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.)

Any comment?

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

Yes, here is the Muhammad Asad’s translation:

I got it from here.

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

Thanks bullehshah…

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

Please point out where does Muhammad Asad says in his explanation that women should not wear Jalabib in public?

May be you can also find explanation of this ayah by Muhammad asad.

Surah Nur(31. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, and protect their private parts and not to show off their adornment except that which is apparent, and to draw their veils all over their Juyub and not to reveal their adornment 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 brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their women, or their right hand possessions, or the Tabi`in among men who do not have desire, or children who are not aware of the nakedness of women. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.)

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

If a woman's life in threat bcoz of hijab or niqab then she's allowed to take it off but my point is that Jilbab(outer covering)(cloack) is not related to only Arabs, its an Islamic thing which Quran has interduced to us.

Where is the proof from quran and sunnah?

Unless you are following the hanafi or other madhabs [again, no 'picking' and 'choosing' what to follow], you don't really have anything.

PS As far as my knowledge, Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] never asked any of his wives for "permission".

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

Prophet Muhammad(SAW) was Prophet and the ayah that is in the Quran about marrying four times is not for him but for his Ummah. Not all but some scholars say that first wife's permission is incumbent.

Islam also gives the right to woman to write down conditions in nikahnama.....if she or her wali writes that her husband can't get marry again without her permission as a condition and if her husband gets married again without her permission than that(2nd) nikah will be unvalid.

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

abaya's

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

Women can divorce men too if they put that in the "nikaa namah". It still doesn't prove anything.

PS What madhab do you really follow? Many times you come off as a salafi [nothing to do with the real salaafs] so, in that case, you should be the last one to say anything..

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

For women that are covering...abaya is just the easiest thing to wear...you simply throw it over your clothes and walk out the door and everything is covered and curves are not showing...no changing of the clothes required.

Has it ever occured to you that maybe paki women wear it for convenience and to assure full coverage and not to copy arabs?

Have you ever seen a pakistani hijaban wear a loose fitting shalwar kameez in such a way that her curves dont show? I know I havent. A shalwar kameez that is loose fitting would look awful in my opinion. Anyway...if go with you logic I could very well say that pakistani's are copying indians/hindus. OOOOO i bet that hit a nerve! :D

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

Come on Hareem01 show him the proof of your claims..............I thought you were the best Maualani(in a good way, if some ppl find it offending) out here. This guy is openly chalenging your claims, you have to prove him wrong.

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

If saying just that is sunnat, then why the complex arguments and beating around the bush. That should suffice. End of story.

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

Its getting off topic but I never heard this before...will do some research inshaAllah.

I know that women can take khullah but giving divorce is unlikely.

I think it proves lots of things.....specially women's rights in Islam. Don't you agree?

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

you just want to sit there and watch the show :rolleyes:
