Oh please! are u kidding me? what world do you live in. DO you have ANY idea what those Chadian women go through? Female circumcision to PLEASE others? Theyre merely 6-7 yr old girls.. who go thru it because its a norm in their culture. Its not something Islam permits, its definitely not something that is practised commonly in regions.. so what makes you say this? Do you have ANY idea how much pain is inflicted on those little girls? Im pretty sure if they had a choice they wouldnt do it.. but they dont have a choice - Tyra banks did a show on this maybe look it up and see what these girls go thru when theyre told that theyre going to a party, and when they get there their hands and feet are tied up and thyre not even given anesthesia to bear the pain. try going through that! One of my friends is from Somalia.. and she went thru this. so please think about wht you say!
Secondly, Hijaab is an ORDER. If you think someone does it to show off then May Allah seriously help you! I certainly dont do it to show off, I do it because I fear Allah!
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. 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.” Surat Nur:31
Men are attracted to hair, to faces, to the way your bodies curve and that is what covering adornments means.
" And let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms" (Surah AlAhzaab)..
^The above Ayat is evident enough. Its telling you to cover your chest with the cloth that covers your HEAD!
I came across this statement a Brother made on a forum for Almaghrib.com! I cant find it now but if I do ill post it. He said “If women knew what goes through a mans’ mind when they look at them, even non-muslims would wear a hijaab”.
You have your beliefs and May Allah swt guide you! because I really do pity people like you who thnk that just because someone wears hijaab theyre oppressed! I am Alhumdulillah ecstatic that I wear a hijaab and Alhumdulillah with that excitement Allah gave me the courage to actually stand up and defend myself and millions of other women against people like you who think we do this to please those tht live around us - analyse yourself before telling me that im out there to show off!
God Bless!
