Look, it’s up to you what you want to believe. As I said, a Mullah said that the the hadith about traveling is no longer applicable due to better security. I don’t believe in this ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam.
Maybe it’s because of my personal experience. My mother is a very charismatic woman, and MashAllah a very good Muslim, 5-time Namazi and all that, but she doesn’t let anything stop her from living her life.
If you want to get yourself entangled in this mess and debate little things like make up and all that, fine, but you would be much better off trying to get closer to Allah and being a better human being.
Do not only think of the apparent superiority of men! A man once asked Muhammad SAW about who is more worthy of respect. Thrice, Muhammad SAW said “your mother” and then mentioned the father only the fourth time. And who is a mother? A freaking woman!
Anyways, I repeat, Women are a very very small part of Islam. I suggest you go look up human rights in Islam. And woe to all those mullahs who keep their women burqa clad in the name of Islam, but don’t even know how to treat a human being!
