Excellent Example
of Hijab
Please percolate to your Musim & Non-Muslim Contacts
Ask yourself, or ask the next person who asks you that question,
if a female judge walked into the courtroom wearing a tight
miniskirt and low-cut blouse, would you take her seriously? Who would you
respect more, a woman dressed like that or one dressed modestly? The Holy Qur’an
was revealed for all times, and though circumstances change, human nature does
not. The fact is that men do like to look at women’s bodies, so
a woman who covers herself is more likely to be respected as a person than looked upon as a piece of meat!
Muslim women wear hijab—which is more than just a head cover—because God ordered them to do so in two places in the Holy Qur’an, and because Holy Prophet Muhammad also ordered it. The Holy Quran says in Chapter 24, verses 30 - 31 what means:
“And O Prophet, enjoin the Believing men to restrain their gazeand guard their private parts. This is a more righteous way for them: Allah has knowledge of what they do. O Prophet, enjoin the Believing men to restrain their gaze and guard their private parts and not to display their adornment except that which is displayed of itself, and to draw their veils over their bosoms and not to display their adornment except before their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons and the sons of their husbands (from other wives), their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their female associates and those in their possession and male attendants incapable of sex desire and those boys who have not yet attained knowledge of sex matters concerning women; also forbid them to stamp their feet on the ground lest their hidden ornaments should be displayed. O Believers, turn all together towards Allah: it is expected that you will attain true success”.
These verses tell us that Islamic dress is not just a matter of covering the head alone, but also of covering the bosom, which is attractive to men, and of lowering the gaze and walking in a way that does not attract attention. Note that the order to lower the gaze was addressed first to men. You can also read the other verse about the same point, which is verse number 59 in Surah 33.
Up until the end of the nineteenth century, a Western woman who had any self respect covered her head—though perhaps not all her hair—in public. That may be true, but women still know that men look at them. Otherwise, why would they spend millions of dollars every year to style, color, and treat their hair?
Is hijab an oppression?
Dr. Fatima Naseef, author of Women in Islam, sees hijab as a woman’s right to maintain her modesty and to be respected as a person. Please turn the question around to the asker: if one woman has the right to go half naked in public, why doesn’t another woman have the right to cover herself in public? Why is it looked upon as oppression if she chooses to be modest?

Woman and the
display of body
Describing women who are morally decayed. The Holy Prophet
Muhammad said that they are "women dressed but naked, corrupt and
corrupters, their hairs are like the inclined hump of female camel, they do not
enter the Heaven nor smell its fragrance" [Refer to Abu Daud]
The Holy Prophet also said "the prayer of a mistreating woman is not acceptable until she purifies herself" [Refer to Imam Ahmed, Abu Daud & Ibn Maja].
The modern scientific researches confirmed that the nakedness of women, their body displaying & their moving in an obscene shape is a disaster on them. The current statistics showed that there is a clear spread of the malignant cancer which affects the naked and displayed part of the women bodies particularly those women who dress short clothes.
It was published in the British Medical Magazine that "the melanoma malignant cancer which was one of the most rare cancers is now spreading among women. The cases of this type of cancer is increasing among young women. It affects their legs. The medical publication went on saying that the main cause behind the spread of short dress & fashions which expose the body of women to the rays & light of the sun. Moreover, the transparent dress and legs gloves do not help in avoiding this type of cancer.
The Medical Magazine appealed to the environment doctors to participate in collecting information about this type of cancer, because it is becoming an epidemic phenomenon. This reminds us with the Quranic sign which says in the tongue of the obstinate unbeliever
"O God, if this is indeed The Truth from Thee, Rain down on us a shower of stones from the sky, or send us a grievous penalty" [8:32]
Now to torture has come down in the form of a malignant cancer. It is caused by the exposition of women's body to the sunrays and ultraviolet rays for a long time it affects the whole body but with different proportion. Initially, it appears as a dark; small spot on either the foot or the leg, and some times in the eye. Then it spreads all over the body. It attacks the lymph knots at the upper part of the thigh. It also attacks blood and invades the liver & destroys it. It may settle in all the organs of the body such as bones, the belly & perhaps the kidneys. If it attacks the kidneys then the patient will experience black urine as a result of inner destruction of the kidneys. It may get transferred to the child in the womb of his mother.
However, this disease does not allows its patient to survive for a long time & it does not respond to surgical treatment like other types of cancers nor it responds to treatment by rays sessions like some other types of cancers.
Therefore have we realized the wisdom behind Islamic legislation which aimed to protect women not only from passers-by but also from a skin disease called cancer. The subject Islamic legislation called upon women to corner their bodies properly & with loose and not narrow and not transparent clothes.
Therefore, Islamic uniform for women protect them from physical diseases, from teasing in the streets & from the torture of life on the Judgment day.
