Hijab.. :(


Please get back to Usul Fiqh. Find out the reasons Islam prescribes Hijab to women.


“Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him.” - 3 : 14


Women = Men’s first weakness


If you’re wearing the hijab because of Allah, cover your body properly. You shouldn’t be putting on short veil such that it reveals your chest and back body. You shouldn’t be wearing a tight shirt or t-shirt such that it reveals your waistline. You shouldn’t be putting on tight jeans or even worse leggings such that they reveal your thighs and calves.


If you’re doing any of that, I’m sorry to say this, but you’re not putting on the hijab the Islam way.


The main reason Islam prescribes hijab is so that you wouldn’t be attracting unwanted attention from strangers.


In 24 : 30, Allah has told Men to lower their gaze. Some people rebut this saying that it’s alright or it’s a nature for men to look at women.


How do we feel when our mother is oogled by strangers, especially men?
How do we feel when our sister is oogled by strangers, especially men?
How do we feel when our daughter is oogled by strangers, especially men?


Do we say.. “Ooh, never mind, it’s alright. It’s their (men) nature to look at my wife (daughter or sister)??” Do we say that??


Strangers, or women, exist as a test for men.
Strangers, or men, exist as a test for women.


In 24 : 30, Allah told men to lower their gaze.
In 24 : 31, Allah told women to lower their gaze and cover their body parts, except for the face and 2 palms.


“Dear Muslimah, Hijab.. if you’re really doing it for Allah, I really ask that you cover yourself properly. Do not.. do not.. please do not let men take advantage of you. Do not let men look at you with bad intention. Do not let men enjoy ‘scrutinising’ you. You are beautiful. Reserve your beauty only for your beloved husband.”


Some people say women putting on the hijab are pearls. Maybe it’s true. That’s not important. Let’s talk about Love now.


If you really love your future husband, protect yourselves from now on. Make it a habit. Your beauty is for Him, your husband. If you enjoy letting others seeing your beauty, isn’t that kind of the same as you betraying your love for your future husband? Love your future husband. You can love Him now. (:


I believe the same goes for Boys. Do not flirt. Protect your private part as prescribed in 24 : 30. Do not be too romantic to your girlfriends. Love your future wife. You can love Her now. (:


Assalaamu’alaikum
