Allah subhanahu w t’aala said in his holy Qur’an
(وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَىٰ عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ ۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِنَّ ۚ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ) [Surat An-Noor : 31]
:”And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hand posses, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye May attain Bliss”
Surah 24: Al Nur, verse 31
Hijab:
Allah subhanahu w t’aala has ordered us women to wear Hijab as an honor and privilege to us. In order to keep our heads high and to be proud that we haven’t been touched or looked at in a haram way!
Hijab also prevents men from falling for the fitnah of women and keeps us away from the harm that tags along it!
In Islam, every Muslim woman should wear Hijab in front of non mehrams!
We are pearls in the eye of Islam, and a pearl should be kept away from the harmful touch and look, or else it will lose its value and beauty, right?!
Why Hijab?
Dear sisters, I love your for Allah’s sake and that’s why am telling you this and please let those words find a place in your ears and heart and settle down there because they are from my heart and I hope they reach yours!
Sister, I know you are good and you are striving to be a better Muslimah! I know you miss Jannah and ask Allah to keep you away from jahannam, but hasn’t the time come to be the idol and to obey Allah’s order? Hasnt the time came to man up and do it what ur shaytan is stopping u from? ? What are u waiting for!! And if you still doubt why Hijab, think about those:
HIJAB IS:
- A sign and an identity of modesty
- A guard from harm and fitnah and corruption
- A purity for the heart and taming for the inner self, the nafs
- A protection from diseases
- Takes us to the highest levels of morals and modesty
- Limits make up and temptation and fake looks
- A guard and protector in this dunya, and a ticket to jannah in akhirah, in shaa Allah!
- So don’t be hesitant, be courageous and start with one of the major things Allah ordered us to do!
And always remember:
Hijab was never meant to show off the sedition and to seduce guys like in what is called today “The Fashioned Hijab”. However, the Hijab was and still submitted to the orders of almighty Allah, and to preserve chastity and dignity of the Islamic girl
Allah said in Surat Al-Ahzab:
(يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَنْ يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا) [Surat Al-Ahzab : 59]
“O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves (part) of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.)
-33:59-
Conditions of Hijab, the real Hijab not the fashioned one:
- Covers the whole body except the face and the palms
- Shouldn’t be attractive and a way to show off
- To be thick and not see through
- To be loose and doesn’t show your curves or temptation positions
- Shouldn’t be an outfit of popularity to show off or to imitate fashion
- Shouldn’t be perfumed as the Prophet peace be upon him say : حدثنا محمد بن بشار حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد القطان عن ثابت بن عمارة الحنفي عن غنيم بن قيس عن أبي موسى عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال كل عين زانية والمرأة إذا استعطرت فمرت بالمجلس فهي كذا وكذا يعني زانية
which means that: every eye is adulteress and if a woman wears her perfume and passes by a men’s council then she’s so and so, which means an adulterous too!
- Shouldn’t be a dress that looks like men’s dress as the prophet SAW said حدثنا الحسن بن علي الخلال حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا معمر عن يحيى بن أبي كثير وأيوب عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس قال لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المخنثين من الرجال والمترجلات من النساء
It meams thay Allah cursed those man who try to act and look like girls and vice versa
So my dear sister, what are u waiting for??? Huh!!! This life one day will end and all we have left then is our deeds so let's try and make them good as much as possible and start with what Allah likes the most, ur modesty .... ur hijab ;!!!
