women lived on it wearing Hijaab (Islamic covering).The Earth with its
atmosphere; alltypes of living cells; and all parts of the plants
ranging from seeds to fruits – are all covered.
A caterpillar starts its life in a cocoon; the skin covers the organs;
a corpse is shrouded in white pieces of cloth; and then buried under
the earth, men and women alike.
Inanimate objects are veiled:
A sword is kept in its sheath. When a pen loses its cap; its ink dries
up; it becomes useless and is thrown away to be trodden on,because it
lost its cap, which is the source of its protection. Why do our
children bind their books and notebooks? Is it to waste time or to
protect them? You putyour head on a pillow which is kept clean because
of its case that protects it from dirt.
Living beings are veiled:
The cell is surrounded with double membranes, inside and outside, to
protect it and regulate the activity of its components.
• The plant cell
It is surrounded by a thick wall which supports it even after death.
• The animal cell
Vertebral cells exist in holes; bone cells are located in tubes; the
female ova is kept in the ovaries; the neurons (nerve cells) are long
and sheathed, so that they are protected from damage and being cut.
Every cell has its own cover; similarly, a woman has to have her
distinctive cover (Hijaab).
Plants are veiled:
• The seed
Soil is the veil of the seed; it shelters the seed from the sunshine.
The seed lives in darkness in order to grow. The shell is a second
cover followed by a third one. The root has a growing top covered by a
cap whereby the root penetrates the soil.
Deep soil is better for the seed than the surface. Similarly, when a
woman covers herself, she rejects superficiality and thrives
spiritually; when she discards herHijaab, she brings evil upon herself
and spreads corruption among the Ummah (Muslim nation).
• The flower
The pistil is in the center of the blossom and is surrounded by petals
that protect it. Allaah The Almighty protects the pistil in this way.
Is the woman not entitled to such protection? Whatare the means of
this protection?Is not a woman who discards theHijaab like a beautiful
flower, looking dazzling in her adornment, spreading her fragrance,
and attracting all kindsof creatures towards it? But all flowers
wither and mix with the dust – the difference is that the flower has
no reckoning, but human beings do. Would you likethis end?
• The fruit
Consider: What happens to an apple when you cut part of it andleave
it? Why does a banana turn black after peeling it?
Animals are veiled:
• Sea animals
In the sea, we find various types of corals, shells and snails – all
of them form covers to guard mollusks. Surely, blessed Is Allaah, The
Creator, The Originator and The Fashioner!
• Land animals
The butterfly passes through different stages of development. It
receives a great command from the Allaah The Almighty, that it carries
it out. It secretes sticky threads, spins them, and weaves them to
produce a veil for the developing pupae inside acocoon.
If an unthinking creature obeys the orders of Allaah the Almighty,then
how can a woman who is favored with reason and logic disobey Allaah
The Almighty?
Reptiles have scales; a hedgehog has sharp spines; a turtle carries a
big, heavy shell on its back throughout its life. A turtle has the
heaviest veil that bears witness to its patience. Which woman has the
most precious Hijaab? A woman who spends a fortune on a showy, costly
Hijaab which itself needs to be covered with another Hijaab in order
to be Islamically acceptable; or the modest garb of a woman who
desires the dress of Paradise?
Covers vary from one animal to another, and they may vary among the
same species according to the needs of the animal.
Young birds are protected by the fragile shell of the egg that can
easily break. So, women should not claim that Hijaab is merely a piece
of cloth, for this piece of cloth is sufficient to protect you –Allaah
willing. Eggs hatch, letting chicks come out with light fluffy hair
which later develop into longfeathers that protect the bird.
Humans are veiled:
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {He creates you in the wombs of
your mothers, creationafter creation, within three darknesses.} [Quran
39:6]
• The fetus in its mother's womb
The fetus remains safe in its mother's womb for nine months,and the
womb is surrounded by membranes and layers. The threetypes of darkness
are: darkness of the placenta, darkness of the womb's wall, and
darkness of thewalls of the belly.
These membranes provide the fetus with comfort, security, foodand oxygen.
• Veils in the man's body
The diaphragm exists in the bodyand separates the heart and the lungs
from the rest of the organs. It perfectly performs its function
because it is thick, and neither light nor transparent.
On the contrary a woman's Hijaabnowadays is light and revealing the
details of the body. Not only is the woman's Hijaab transparent, but
it is also revealing – as if it were designed to allure, not to
conceal – thus, belying its very purpose.
• The skeleton
It consists of a hard, protective skull where the brain is located.
The brain is the man's treasure, because it is the site of the mental
faculties which distinguish him from animals, and it is located
securely inside a bony container. A skillful doctor'slancet cannot
reach it except after sawing the skull. It is a mighty safe given to
the rich and the poor, and is similar to an ironsafe where precious
jewels are kept. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {…And in
yourselves. Then will you not see?} [Quran 51:21]
• The heart
The heart is like a gift wrapped inmultiple layers. There are five
soldiers guarding it: the pericardium, which is light; two soft lungs
surrounding it; a breastbone securely containing them; muscles and
tissues garmenting the breastbone; all ofwhich is covered with
protective skin. Likewise, the mercy, love and wisdom of our Lord
encirclesus, so He legislated Hijaab for us.
• The eye
The eye is the most valuable itemman possesses. It is like a ball that
fits in the eye sockets to protect it from injury. A woman, like the
eye, puts on Hijaab to guard herself from being exploited as a sex
object. People who misuse the faculties grantedby Allaah The Almighty
start with an unlawful look at a non-Mahram (marriageable) woman,
followed by a smile, then a greeting, then a conversation, then a
date, then a meeting, then impermissible exposure of adornments and
freeintermixing. The result usually is committing unlawful sex,
diseases, shame, destruction, andfinally torment in Hell. Allaah The
Almighty Says (what means): {Tellthe believing men to reduce [some] of
their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them.}
[Quran 24:30]
• The skin
The skin is a thick tissue which covers the body entirely and hides
the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and so on. Let the woman imagine:
If the skin had been transparent and showing what is under it, what
would people have looked like? Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
{We have certainly created man in the best of stature.} [Quran 95:4]
You sterilize the wounds on your skin in order to protect your body;
however, Hijaab protects both your body and soul. How could you
carelessly and indifferently discard it? With yourHijaab, you are a
representative of Islam, a role model for others, and a guide for the
whole world to the existence of a great religion.
With Hijaab, you are a protected jewel, and without it, you are likea
sweet left uncovered for flies toland on. Are you a commodity forsale,
or a corpse on which bacteria and worms gather? No. By Allaah, you are
a well-protected pearl.
So, put on your Hijaab, because everything in the Universe is covered.
Do not behave at odds with laws of the Universe, for deviation leads
to The Fire.
