it makes no difference if a pretty woman wears hijab or not in pk cause men tend to stare anyway the perverts . i dont know why they stare. men dont stare at women in the uk
How are you lot trying to force your views on others. You should follow the rules as you feel fit, and leave the rest to be dealt by Allah as HE deems fit.
heard about this guy who ogled a girl’s smooth shining arms and commented on her sense of hijab. this is a desi guy’s standard of respect and sharm haya.
Lol this is crazy. I see guys going on and on about how women should wear hijab. I am sorry, but i have been oogled at like crazy when i was wearing a full chadar and niqab in Pak. And then there are guys who try to touch you in the bazaars where you are to buy things of your needs and not just walking around for the heck of it. Shouldnt we preach both sides? Women AND men to observe modesty?
No matter how the woman is covered, guys are going to stare no matter what. So lets preach women to dress modestly and men to keep their stares away.
I think the problem is that people need to define the word Hijab to undertand it properly ... So here we go ...
Hijab - lit. protection - it is a mode of behaviour and attitude designed to protect the person who observes it.
Khimar, Burka, Niqab, Scarf, etc ... are items of clothing designed to help assist the woman in observing her hijab.
Men need to observe hijab also ... they do this by lowering their gaze ... in other words they protect themselves from the fitnah of the lure of women and fitnah of the aggression of another man by lowering his gaze it is a sign of humility and a subconcious statement that "I submit" and "I am no threat".
Likewise for the woman who observes hijab she does so to protect herself from luring perverted men and protects herself from envious and jealous women. She does so by covering her body and keeping her mannerisms minimal and bland.
If for example a woman is completely covered from head to toe, but she wears very strong scent, loud noisy shoes and jewelry and walks with her hips from side to side and talks out loud so people can hear her ... this is not hijab ... this is a very immodest woman who is merely covered.
Likewise if a woman who is modest as much as she wants to be according to Pakistani/Indian culture but she has some parts of her aura uncovered, then she is unprotected from luring men so she also has not completely undertaken the hijab.
Hijab is a combination of a pure internal attitude and good outer presentation designed to protect the hijabi (male or female) from fitnah.
great points Hareem. Most people think wearing a friggin scarf is a complete Hijab.

absolutely right. Even when I was covered head to toe, I was oogled in Pakistan. WHat difference wearing a scarf is gonna make, it doesn't stop those guys from looking at us. It is those manhoos people's fault who are looking...why must we kill ourselves to stop that.
^I completely agree. I was completely covered in Pak, including my face, and guys would still try to rub up against me and pinched me. There is something wrong with the mentality there, you could be wearing ten burkas and someone would still try to pinch or stare at something.
pakistan is full of perverts and pedofiles. i dont know why they just are. there are lots of perverts here also in the uk. the difference is the law is implied here and its in the womens defence. this country encourages sexual attacks newspapers and magazines are allways exploiting the subject as well is tv and media. now if one wants to perv or fondle somebody he has to think twice cause of the law. in pakistan perverted men can get away cause there is no law protecting women against such action and ends up in more trouble for herself. i wonder how many women and chillden suffer in the hands of such evil beasts. these monsters need not be stangers they could be an uncle. a brother, a grandparent, it could be the father. if one has a family in pk then it is important to get them out of the country and resided them in a country where the law is protecting. i.e. nspcc
yes if the people want to be good muslims, the men should have more self control and NOT ogle women , even if they are not wearing hijab or whatever. I find it very hypocritical that the women have to be forced to wrap themselves in burkas and hijabs just because the men can't control themselves.!! what do u think?
Quran didn't ask women to suffer in 45 degrees heat wearing shuttle burkhas. Quran is about modesty and commen sense which our people in Pakistan don't have.
