They call for Women's Freedom.. Then, they say; It is the wear of reactionary and underdevelopment.. about Hijab!! And they say.. A respectable woman, who is not wearing Hijab.. is better than.. a woman, wearing Hijab, but not straight. The question is.. Is this law of Hijab.. new to humanity? And, why do we see and hear a lot.. against Hijab.. and lessening of its importance? Today, by the will of Allah.. We will contemplate more about.. the Tashri'a of Hijab in Islam.. because, it is, really, an important topic.. at this time. 'Fasero..' 'Then walk among its slopes.. ' 'And walk..' 'And walk towards its creator.. ' 'Then walk.. ' 'Then walk among its slopes.. ' 'And walk..' 'And walk towards its creator.. ' We should know.. that from the greatest basics of innate nature.. is the nature of chastity. So, it is by nature that man would cover his private parts[Awrah]! and as you know that the [Awrah] of man extends from the navel to the knees. and you find some men extend it even more.. and cover more of their bodies.. because, this is the nature of mankind.. of these men. Same with women.. It is her nature to cover her [Awrah]. And as you know too that the [Awrah] of women is.. all her body.. except the face and the hands. So, as this covering.. this chastity.. is basically a form of worshiping[Ibadah].. in general.. and Hijab is Ibadah.. in a particular form. for that, it was important for Shaytan to delude man.. and to make this Ibadah as just a custom! So, if it becomes a custom.. then, it is easy for man to leave this chastity. Hijab is a devine matter.. it is from Allah, Almighty. Allah, Almighty, said: "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman.. " 33:36 ".. when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter.. " ".. that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.. " woman should know.. the believer.. that Hijab is an obligation[Fard]. it is not a choice. This matter is almost agreed upon.. by all people of knowledge, of all schools;[Madhad]. The subject of Hijab.. the covering vail.. and the covering dress.. that is not tight, showing the body.. This is well agreed upon. Unfortunately, today.. some women.. began to stop wearing Hijab.. thinking that it was just a custom! So, they began to take the matter lightly! It is enough for us to know.. that.. from the time of the prophet, SAW.. there is not a single word.. that was said by any school [Madhab].. all Madhabs of Islam.. or said by a scholar.. nor by a common person.. declaring that Hijab is not an obligation[Fard]. The Qur'anic evidences and the prophetic evidenves.. are clear! and obvious, in front of all humanity. the evidences of Hijab and covering. Allah, Almighty, said at Surah Al-Ahzab: "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers .. " 33:59 ".. 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." We coordinated with a woman, who wasn't used to wearing Hijab.. and, we asked her to walk in the streets, at a European country.. First without Hijab.. then, with Hijab! And, this was the result.. I know that some individuals will say.. Even girls wearing Niqab [face cover], they are also being harassed.. and this is true.. sadly, people with sick hearts are many but, the more the modesty of the woman.. the less the hassle.. Allah, Almighty, has explained this in Surah Al-Ahzab.. He said: ".. to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments.. " ".. That is more suitable.. " ".. that they will be known and not be abused.. " i.e. the abuse will be less! if the woman would cover her body.. The verse is very clear. If people were destroyed.. it is not an interesting achievement .. rather, more interesting, is those who have lived, how could they survive?! The admiration is for the woman who is still.. sticking to wearing Hijab.. proud of it.. feeling honored with Hijab.. in the middle of a world full of nakedness full of contravention.. full of liberty. I mean, for man to fall in sins, this is easy.. The difficulty is for a person to stay steadfast on principles. The factors that has led to.. leaving it, in the late eras were.. due to two reasons.. The first reason was.. the influence of the surrounding environment.. community.. So, she was wearing Hijab for 10 to 15 years.. without feeling any inconvenience from Hijab. Suddenly.. Hijab became hard! because of a certain influential factor.. because of the social media.. many girls.. who took off Hijab.. they depend on minds.. without respecting speciality! So, many girls would say.. I've read Qur'an.. I've read Sunnah.. and, I've opened the books of people of Figh.. and I've seen the opinion of Imam Malik.. and Imam Shafi'i.. etc.. But, I was not convinced. Imagine.. She made herself.. Saying to Imam Shafi'i.. No.. No.. It seems, you do not know!! And you, Malik.. No.. And you.. all scholars.. What you are saying didn't convince me.. men! This is how it is! She would say that Hijab is.. not an obligation[Wajeb].. It might be specific for Ummahat Al-Mumineen.. or otherwise. And, she knows.. that this is not true.. It is just a straw.. she is trying.. to deceit.. othes.. that she had left Hijab because of this. It is like saying to the Doctor.. For example.. to the cardiologist.. who is recommending to do an operation.. let's say to her mother.. she would say.. this is not my opinion.. I can't find a reason for doing her an operation.. I'm afraid, this might cause so and so.. I'm not convinced, Doctor!! I'll not do her the operation. is this logical?! Impossible! There isn't.. any.. any doubt.. actually, it is not even to the level.. from my point of view.. to be called; doubt.. Hijab.. is not only in Islam.. It is present in all divine religions.. But, they've left wearing Hijab.. after they've distorted their Books.. so, they are not wearing it in public places and in streats. But yet, they are strictly wearing Hijab.. in Churches.. and in their worshiping places. And, if you would go there.. you will find them wearing the Hijab! When we see a christian family who is keeping the modesty.. or a Jewish family, like in the photo.. we will know that the world's campaign, against the Hijab of Muslim women.. Is not because they like women.. But, it is because they hate Islam! 'Fasero..' 'Fasero..' The Hijab of Muslim woman.. became.. in addition to its being [Fard].. It became, a symbol of religion! In the last event at New Zealand.. How has the prime minister of New Zealand, expressed.. and the women with her.. in New Zealand their sympathy with Muslims? that was by wearing Hijab! The importance of Hijab for Muslim women is.. like the importance of the shell.. of oysters.. for the pearl! As the importance of walls for buildings.. bedrooms and for the privacy of people. The question is.. Why only.. Muslim women are denied having Hijab.. They've left their wear.. left modesty.. in the west.. and they say; this is a form of freedom! And, if a Muslim woman wears Hijab.. and covers herself.. they say; she is oppressed! This is the choice of that woman, willingly.. She has chosen her clothes.. her modesty.. that suits her nature. And this is exactly.. the meaning of freedom. Hijab is a respect.. of the freedom of women.. Someone might say; You are not getting it! .. people are saying, Hijab is against the freedom of women. No, I say.. I know what I'm talking about. There was a woman.. The writer; Katherine Bullock..has written her story.. in her book; Rethinking Muslim Women and the Veil. She went with her husband in a trip.. to Turkey.. at the 18th century.. Actually, she wore Hijab.. She was asked. after she returned home.. How was Hijab like? She said, I found freedom with it! I don't feel the eyes of men.. tying me! when I walk or sit.. when I go or come. Islam wants us.. to interact with women.. with their minds and their souls.. not as bodies! Some of them are saying.. Iman is inside hearts. and deeds are with intentions.. nothing has to do with modesty or Hijab. And, others say.. Sometimes a woman who is not wearing Hijab.. her deeds.. her morals.. are better than that of a woman wearing Hijab! This is a big mistake.. to talk as in general, is wrong. The mistake of a woman wearing Hijab is her own mistake.. I can give you an example of me, myself; Fahad.. If Fadah did a mistake.. this mistake is his mistake.. of Fahad. "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.. " 35:18 other Imams of Masjids and religious people .. they have nothing to do with it. Today, when the Doctor was wearing his coat.. and he made a mistake.. as a Doctor.. the medical field has nothing to do with this.. nor other Doctors.. have to do with the mistake of this Doctor. The phrase of; believing in heart.. This is a completely wrong concept.. In Islam.. Iman is in the heart, but then, it is expressed by the whole body in the form of deeds. And there are many verses in Qur'an.. Allah, Almighty, said: "Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds.. " 18:107 The belief must coincide with.. the work.. in front of Allah, Almighty. And really, the best good deed of a woman.. if she was a believer.. is this Hijab! And, she must feel.. as she is wearing Hijab.. that she is in a state of Ibadah. There is an advantage that women have.. When she leaves her house.. wearing her Hijab.. this part of her, is in Ibadah.. her covering. Modesty.. is a natural instinct. When our sister Lauren Booth entered Islam.. she had two daughters.. Listen with me, What did they say to her? So, Hijab was never .. an obstacle, preventing women from invention.. or discovery.. or study.. or advancement.. or to be a consultant or to reach the highest positions. We must know.. that hijab.. has nothing to do with ignorance.. and underdevelopment.. because we cannot count.. the number of women who have achieved higher education.. and they were superior in many fields! and they were in many positions.. in all fields.. and they were wearing Hijab! Muslim women with modesty. So we should always say that Hijab is.. a veil that covers the head.. but not the mind! 'It was the result of contemplation..' 'with a heart full of Glorifying..' 'with Tasbeeh and Tahleel.. ' 'that really rose him up to his Lord.' 'How many there are in the universe, that are obvious..' 'and in the Kingdom of Divinity, that are consealed..' 'all are from Allah.. ' 'They are marvelous, Glory to the creator.' Sister, wearing Hijab.. isn't it enough for you to be as Maryam, peace be upon her? isn't it enough for you that they say you look like Khadijah, may Allah be pleased of her and please her? isn't it enough for you to be.. Like Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, May Salat and Salam be upon him and his family I know.. some of your family members, and your friends.. they want to discourage you.. and make doubt your Hijab and your beliefs.. If you were at the level of fear.. always say these words.. 'Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.' By the will of Allah.. This bad feeling will go away.. Allah, Almighty, said: "Those to whom hypocrites said.. " 3:173 ".. "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.".. " ".. But it [merely] increased them in faith.. " ".. and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."." "So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty.. " ".. no harm having touched them.. " And I'd like to say to each sister living in this world.. especially in the west.. If they would fight against you and harm you because of your Hijab.. then say these words; 'I depend upon Allah, my Lord.' "And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.. " 4:132 ".. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs." 'He is the Merciful, He has honored us..' 'And, with thinking He has rejoiced us' 'He has distinguished us with minds' 'And this is a generous bounty.' 'He has sheltered the messenger of Allah' 'And He raised him up, as he was in that cave' 'He remained close, near his Lord' 'Glory to the One Who had guided him.' 'Fasero..' 'Then walk among its slopes.. ' 'And walk..' 'And walk towards its creator.. ' 'Then walk.. ' 'Then walk among its slopes.. ' 'And walk..' 'And walk towards its creator.. '
