Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

** This does not belong in religion, I swear I’ll beat up any mod that dares touches this thread.:snooty: This is a very beautiful explanation of why Muslim women/larkiyan/bachiyan/girls should wear hijaab. So read and spread.

Plus it has nothing to do with religious warfare (which should be the name of the religion section).**

Why Should I Wear The Hijaab ?

This is a good question and there is a beautiful answer! Allaah has commanded us with every action that is good for us and prohibited us from performing every action that is bad for us. Allaah orders the Muslim woman to wear the hijaab when she steps out of the security of her home or when in the presence of strange men. So to wear the hijaab is a source of great good for you - the Muslim woman - for many reasons. Among them:

  1. You please Allaah. You are obeying the commands of your Lord when you wear the hijaab and you can expect great rewards in return.

  2. It is Allaah’s protection of your natural beauty. You are too precious to be “on display” for each man to see.

  3. It is Allaah’s preservation of your chastity.

  4. Allaah purifies your heart and mind through the hijaab.

  5. Allaah beautifies your inner and outer countenance with hijaab. Outwardly your hijaab reflects innocence, purity, modesty, shyness, serenity, contentment and obedience to your Lord. Inwardly you cultivate the same.

  6. Allaah defines your femininity through the hijaab. You are a woman who respects her womanhood. Allaah wants you to be respected by others, and for you to respect yourself.

  7. Allaah raises your dignity through the hijaab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because he sees that you respect yourself.

  8. Allaah protects your honour 100% through your hijaab. Men do not gaze at you in a sensual way, they do not approach you in a sensual way, and neither do they speak to you in a sensual way. Rather, a man holds you in high esteem and that is just by one glance at you!

  9. Allaah gives you nobility through the hijaab. You are noble not degraded because you covered not naked.

  10. Allaah demonstrates your equality as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. Your Lord bestows upon you equal worth as your male counterpart, and gives you a host of beautiful rights and liberties. You express your acceptance of these unique rights by putting on the hijaab.

  11. Allaah defines your role as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. You are a someone with important duties. You are a reflection of a woman of action not idle pursuits. You display your sense of direction and purpose through your hijaab. You are someone that people take seriously.

  12. Allaah expresses your independence through the hijaab. You are stating clearly that you are an obedient servant of the Greatest Master. You will obey no one else and follow no other way. You are not a slave to any man, nor a slave to any nation. You are free and independent from all man-made systems.

  13. Allaah gives you the freedom of movement and expression through the hijaab. You are able to move about and communicate without fear of harassment. Your hijaab gives you a unique confidence.

  14. Allaah wants others to treat you - a Muslim woman - with kindness. And the hijaab brings about the best treatment of men towards you.

  15. Allaah wants your beauty to be preserved and saved for just one man to enjoy - your husband.

  16. Allaah helps you to enjoy a successful marriage through wearing hijaab. Because you reserve your beauty for one man alone, your husband’s love for you increases, he cherishes you more, he respects you more and he honours you more. So your hijaab contributes to a successful and lasting marriage relationship.

  17. Allaah brings about peace and stability in the society through the hijaab! Yes this is true! Men do not cause corruption by forming illegal relationships because you - the Muslim woman - calm their passions. When a man looks at you, he feels at ease, not tempted to fornicate.

So a Muslim woman in hijaab is dignified, not dishonoured, noble, not degraded, liberated, not subjugated, purified, not sullied, independent, not a slave, protected, not exposed, respected, not laughed at, confident, not insecure, obedient, not a sinner, a guarded pearl, not a prostitute.

Dear Muslim sister! Come towards the gates of Paradise with us! Fulfill your duties towards Allaah, put on your adornment - put on your hijaab, and race towards Jannah (Paradise) by doing all good actions. You should agree by now that wearing hijaab is extremely beneficial - it must be - because Allaah only commands what is good. and believe me dear sister, it is good to obey the commands of your Lord.

“Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow wherein they will dwell for ever; Allaah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him; this is (in store) for whoever fears his Lord.” [Sooratul-Bayyinah 98:8]

That is utter BS. Why the hell should ** I ** be responsible for controlling what’s in HIS pants? :rolleyes: Here’s a newsflash: those type of men, who lust after women and have those “illegal relationships” will look at girls with lust, whether the girls are covering their hair or not. This is very immature, hoisting off all the responsibility to the woman.

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

I wear hijab and Im so happy wearing it. no1 forced me and it was 100% my own choice.

A woman is like a precious pearl.....just like you dont leave a precious pearl exposed for everyone to see....in the same way a woman should cover up to protect herself.

Wearing a hijab is the best decision I have made in my whole life :) and I would never compromise my hijab or my Islam for ANYONE or anything....

even if I had to choose between my Pharmacy degree (which every1 so highly looks up to) and my hijab/religion.....I would choose the latter in any case :)

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

great point :)

gald to hear that impulse baji that u wear hijab :)

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

^ Pardon me but how you can compare the two? A pharmacy degree and covering your hair have nothing to do with each other. Yes, hijab is all of those things mentioned in the first post, but what I don'tunderstand is how girls who don't wear hijab are seen as undignified, dishonorable, a slave. Guess what? Not all non-scarf/jilbab/abaya/shuttlecock/burqa-wearing girls are whores.

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

I see what your saying.

the reason I gave the example of my degree…is because not too long ago a girl in Turkey had just about completed her Medical degree…however, they said to her “to get your degree…you will have to remove your hijab”…i.e. for the ceremony etc. she refused and hence didnt get the Medical degree that she had worked so hard for. If I was ever in the same situation, I would do the same thing.

However, I dont look down on those girls who do not wear hijab…maybe they dont understand the reason…maybe they’re not ready yet…maybe its some other reason which I cant judge on…

the only girls I look down on are those who dress like whores…or should I say those who hardly “dress”.

c.wrk or exam?

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

  1. You are not a man. Thus you cannot make those remarks you made in your first post. Your argument is from one perspective only.

  2. Whatever I have posted is true in society and in general nature. Not even an atheist would disagree if you omit Allah from those statements.

  3. ** You have no knowledge of this world, as compared to the one that created this world and you. What goes on where, and WHY these laws have been established on earth, is better understood by those who ABIDE them…and by your creator. He knows better than us, and what is better for us. SO no matter what happens, we cannot disobey him ANYWAYS. So all Arguments against not wearing hijaab are nullified, right there, and then. Unless you’re not a muslim.**

  4. As me being a male, I can assure you…Hijaab works VERY well.

  5. If you do not wish to wear a hijaab, that is your own choice. But, What do you think? Who will I respect more as a muslim. A non hijaabi, or a woman with Hijaab, who deserves the honour and respect. Because she respects her self, and her values.

  6. If you were to walk down the street, man will look at you, and WILL have thoughts in their heads. Not only will THEY commit an unlawful act, but Can you tell me who is responsible for intiating that thought? that led them to do what they did…

  7. Its pure nature. Everyone comes with responsibilities and duties. Fulfill them, if you can’t then you don’t want to. We all have been blessed with enough strength to overcome them.

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

u r right sara baji but do u know what ??? girls who don’t wear hijab does not have any kind of security. also guys look up to those girls who don’t wear hijabs but they give respect and look down when the see any girl with hijab. it makes the big diference. don’t u think ??? even thou those girls who don’t wear hijabs are not whores but still guy can look at those girls with the wrong but the same guy can’t see with wrong eye to a girl who had hijab on :slight_smile:

i hope u won’t get offensive :slight_smile: if u do please let me know :slight_smile:

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

I know I will be toasted after I say the following but the truth should be said....

the only word I have to describe girls who dress like sluts/whores/indecently...is "SELFISH".

when they are walking down the street dressing in such a way...do they ever think "how many families am I going to destroy by the way I dress.....how many guys will look at me and then will feel unsatisfied with their wives.....how many husbands would be disappointed cuz their wife isnt the same....how many families will break up.....how many kids will suffer as a result.....how many other relations will break up"

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

Just a question, doesn’treally have anything to do with this, really. Did you write all that or was it a copy and paste from somewher else?

  1. Yes, as a woman, i cannot assume what every man will think but I am entitled to give my opinion on certain matters. However, common knowledge will tell me that a man who has “illegal” relationships isn’t very scrupulous to begin with and has no regard for others’ feelings. Am I wrong in saying this?

  2. maybe I didn’t make myself clear earlier. I agreed with everything posted, except for that last point. And also, there are many who would disagree with all of thosee points.

  3. I wasn’t giving arguments for NOT wearing/observing hijab. I was questioning the reasoning behind one of the reasons given for wearing it. Now I’l give you the benefit of the doubt and assum ethat since you’ve never spoken to me or read anything I’ve written, then you don’t know my age/ethnicity/religion. For the record, **I am a Muslim. **Do not assume that because I didn’t “oooh ahhhh” over the article that my faith is any less.

  4. Again–not every non-hijabi disrespects herself. I had the same amount of respect before, during, and after wearing hijab.

  5. Tell me something. Does intention count for anything? Many girls will go out, not feeling they are dressed up or looking “attractive” but still get catcalls and comments. Now are they still to be blamed? I**f I don’t feel that I am dressed in a way that will attract attention, negative or positive **(positive like “oooh nice makeup/jewelry/skirt!”) **then why shoud I be blamed?

**7. I agree :slight_smile:

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

Well, that’s harsh but I do see your point as well. However, it’s very unfair to lay the blame solely on the girl. Again, a man is spposed to control himself as well. If he feels dissatisfied with his wife, he should work it out with her, not find artificial solace with a scantily clad bimbo. And are you talkign about children whose parents split up because of a third party or girls (and guys) who grow up with the image of half naked ladies with artificial bodies? Children will be crushed either way. And another thing: exactly what is trashy attire? Yes, it may seem like a dumb question to ask but just think about it. Differnet cultures, differnet societies have different standards of dress. I wear jeans and a button down shirt. On the streets of New York, that’s nothing. Hell I’m overdressed compared to most here. However, I would never dress this way in Lahore, simply because I’ll look like a slut. Another example, most of us (as desis/Muslims) mgiht consider tank tops and shorts even in 90 degree weather, to be skimpy, but to non-Muslims and non-desis, that attire is practically a necessity. That doesnt’ make em whores does it?

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

I know what you mean…some guys still try to flirt :rolleyes: after all, guys are guys.

but as long as you have obeyed Allahs law and dressed in the way he has told us to…then there will be no blame on you :slight_smile:

do you want to know what I mean by respect…this is the only recent example I can think off…I was in the lift alone…it stopped on first floor and there was a brother there (the head of Islamic society)…he was about to walk into the lift…but then he decided to walk away…because he probably thought I would feel uncomfortable with just him there in the lift with me…it was 5 past 9 which means like me, he was also already 5 mins late for his lecture…:rolleyes: I have respect for guys like him (even though some of u may think it was a little extreme what he did)

17

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

^ Well I personally think that was a bit extreme, but hey it caused neither of you nor harm nor embarrassment, so its all gud :)

18

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

Yes I did write that myself.

You are not wrong in saying that, infact, thats actually the basis on why abiding the laws of hijaab should be adhered.

Yes, however…when you disagree with that statement, you are compiling your conclusions through your perspective.
Honourable, Decent men will be lured towards the “illegal” relationships, if their “passions” are not controlled.
Yes you are responsible, because its pure nature. You stated you agree with #7.

Sorry if it offended you, but in all honesty, my statement was a general one. Not pointed towards you, as many read these forums.

I already knew you were muslim.

Hijabis, do have a comprehensive respect towards themselves. Its proven and clearly visible.
I’m sure non hijabs respect themselves too. But, to have so much respect of your values, that you wear a hijaab, is on a different level of its own.

REfer to my statement #3. Allah knows best. So it is best to abide his laws.

19

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

Exactly.

Thats not extreme. Thats called RESPECT. Which you deserve Impulse.
That brother would have done the same, if there was a women dressed with threads.

Thats called Islam.

Re: Why the hell Should I wear Hijaab?!

just cuz everyone dresses in jeans and a button top in NEW YORK…it doesnt make it right…u shouldnt have to dress in a different way in Lahore than u do in New York…thats double standards and being hypocritical…you should be who you are wherever you are.
I like in UK…majority of the people here do dress like how u say above…but I dont…if I ever do wear trousers…I’ll wear jilbab on top (but I hardly wear trousers…)…but most of the times I wear asian clothes and thats what I’d wear in Pak or anywhere in the world I go to…

I seen girls wearing trousers/skirts/western clothes…and I have seen sick trampy ugly guys checking them out…and its just sick :yukh:
and the white guys I see at uni…they just STARE at any girl who is dressed in tight clothes…they check her out up and down…and then they even tell their friends to join in. Ive seen the sickness and Id rather not be a part of it. no thanks :nook:
