Women Site, - (Hijaab) - Hijaab protects against corruption

Share::-

Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}O Prophet, tell your wives and your 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 Allaah Forgiving and Merciful.{]Quran 33:59[
Consider with me how Allaah The Almighty starts with the wives and daughters of Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa salam. He starts with the chaste, pure, righteous, ascetic women, whom He commands to adhere to Hijaab )Islamic covering( and put on the outer garment, and forbade to display their beauty or expose themselves, as they are the Mothers of the Believers and the mistresses of the women of Paradise. Moreover, from which men were they commanded to veil and screen themselves? From the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, may Allaah be pleased with them, the possessors of pure and chaste hearts.
Then, what do you think, my sister, of the men and women of our days? What do you think of those who spend long hours watching the channels of corruption and destruction, and their hearts are replete with love for shameful desires, and they are about to lose their minds longing to meet a lover, seeing a beautiful girl, or hearing the voice of a girlfriend?
By Him in whose Hand is my soul, the command to adhere to Hijaab should be adhered to with greater strictness these days; and you are responsible before Allaah The Almighty, for you are a source of Fitnah )trial(, which is the greatest Fitnah on the Ummah )nation( of Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa salam. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa salam, said:"I have not left after me a Fitnah more harmful to men than women."
In these days, the hearts of men are diseased, except for him upon whom my Lord bestows mercy, and how few are they! Their eyes turn here and there in the communities of women, and their souls are longing for evil and corruption. Amidst that, the girl displays her adornment and exposes the beauty of her body to ignite the fire of Fitnah in their chests, and urge them to come close to her and fall, along with her, into corruption and shame. Then, in the end, that young man comes out to wash the dirt and impurities of his actions with the water of repentance, and starts a new life, that is if he has a living heart that fears the punishment of Allaah The Almighty. But as for you, you would remain a source of shame on yourself and your family, and the community would never forgive for you your slip, nor overlook your crime; even if you wash your heart with the water of repentance and return to Allaah The Almighty, who will wash away the damage and destruction that will have afflicted your body?
I think you understand what I mean. So, please be careful before it is too late and before you fall and, subsequently, are filled with regret. But at that time, neither regret nor weeping, nor grief nor tears would benefit you.
A pious woman once said, "The rational person, is the one who considers the current state of women nowadays and would consequently burn with grief, dissolve in shyness, be burnt with agony, and blaze with pain. The believing hearts have the right to rupture in pain, and the sincere eyes to shed blood. How could a faithful believer feel the pleasure of food and drink, how could he rejoice in cheerfulness and sleep in comfort while he sees what embitters the bodies, tears and breaks the hearts? It seems that those women have realized the hope of the Jew Oskar Levi when he said, 'We, Jews, are but masters and corruptors of this world, rousers and harbingers of trials and the ones who inflict pain.'
The Jews have a long history of destroying nations through women. The Islamic Sharee‘ah )Islamic legislation( has taken excellent care of the Muslim woman, which ensures the maintenance of her chastity and has made her cherished and lofty. The conditions imposed upon her in her adornment and clothing are only meant to eliminate the means that lead to corruption. That is not to restrict her freedom, but rather to protect her from falling to the bottom of abasement and the mire of degradation.
The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa salam, said:"Indeed Allaah is Bashful and the Sitteer )Concealer of faults(, and He loves )that His servants should adhere to( bashfulness and concealment )of faults(."]Abu Daawood and An-Nasaa‘i["
The war is being waged against you, my dear sister, and you are its target and aim. Our enemies from the West hold long sessions to design attractive fashionable clothes for you, in order to bewitch the minds, dazzle the sights and cause hearts to be fascinated by you. Do you know what these clothes are for? It is for your Abaaya that was imposed on you to screen your body and divert eyes from you, causing you to live a chaste and pure life.
They have drawn you in to get you to remove your Hijaab, achieving victory over you, and to make you leave your house uncovered, bare-faced and displaying your beauty, having removed your modesty before you removed your outer garment.
In his lecture, "The Story of an Abaaya", Shaykh Muhammad Al-Habdaan, may Allaah protect him, shows the gradual approach made to drive women into removing their Hijaab:
They began with the step of a transparent chiffon Abaaya and continued along these lines for a long time, after which they moved to another step, i.e., the short Abaaya, until when a long time passed and the believing hearts took the initiative to revive the )traditional( long Abaaya, they were disturbed by it, but said, "No problem! Let it be long, but with lace at its ends." They paused a little at that step, and when they found none objected, but rather a lot of women admired it, and increasingly bought it, then, let the model of the on-shoulder Abaaya come into existence, since it is easier for the woman and religion is to make things easy.
After that, the gate was opened wide, and a torrent of afflictions started to pour in, once by a variety of laces on the right and on the left )of the Abaaya(, and once by the broad decorative bands of glittering beads, followed by beautiful embellishments to make the hand look more beautiful, and then the Abaaya with lace and with embroidery on the front and on the back, ending with the Abaaya with various colors."
They also added many different colors like yellow, red, green, and orange. Some of them designed an Abaaya for the bride, another for university, a third for school, a fourth for a soiree and a fifth for a physician.
What makes matters worse, burns the heart, and causes the eye to shed tears is that the ones who design those clothes for the various purposes are Muslim women: we ask Allaah The Almighty to guide them, and return them to Him with good return. They have indeed abandoned their religion, manners and )real( beauty, and forgotten, or seemed to forget, that the woman's head cover beautifies her and increases her in reverence and elegance, in so much as when she enters Paradise )we ask Allaah The Almighty to make us among its inhabitants(, she would beautify herself for her husband therein with that head cover.
It is narrated in a particular Hadeeth )prophetic narration(:"And indeed a woman )of Paradise('s head cover on her head is better than this world and what it contains."
According to the narration of Imaam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy upon him:"And the head cover of a woman from Paradise is better than this world and the like of it along with it."
According to the narration of Al-Bazzaar and Ibn Abi Ad-Dunya, may Allaah have mercy upon them:"… and if one of the Hoor )maidens( reveals her head cover, the sun would seem, compared to its beauty, like a lightless wick in the sun."
If this beauty lies only in the head cover, then, what about the beauty of she who wears the head cover? Exalted be Allaah Who made all things perfect! On the occasion of mentioning the headcover, let me say to her who has abandoned it, let alone the headcover and full Hijaab: consider how the head cover is among the elements of beauty on the head of the Hoor in Paradise, whereas many of you argue to abstain from wearing it, saying that she does not look fashionable in it, and that it does not suit her; and another argues that she will wear it after marriage. But at the same time, another, astonishingly, puts on the head cover for she sees, as she states, her beauty, intelligence and personality in it. To this latter, let me say, "Make )this deed( for )the countenance of( Allaah The Almighty, since the )rewards of( deeds depend on intentions."
Do you have any doubt, after this, about the obligation of covering the face?

Women Site, - (Hijaab) - Everything in the Universe tends to be Covered

Share::-

Allaah The Almighty safeguarded the Earth with the atmosphere before women lived on it wearing Hijaab )Islamic covering(. The Earth with its atmosphere; all types 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 put your 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 her Hijaab, 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? What are the means of this protection? Is not a woman who discards the Hijaab like a beautiful flower, looking dazzling in her adornment, spreading her fragrance, and attracting all kinds of 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 like this end?
• The fruit
Consider: What happens to an apple when you cut part of it and leave 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 a cocoon.
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 long feathers that protect the bird.
Humans are veiled:
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after 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 three types of darkness are: darkness of the placenta, darkness of the womb's wall, and darkness of the walls of the belly.
These membranes provide the fetus with comfort, security, food and oxygen.
• Veils in the man's body
The diaphragm exists in the body and 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 Hijaab nowadays 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's lancet 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 iron safe 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 in multiple 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 of which is covered with protective skin. Likewise, the mercy, love and wisdom of our Lord encircles us, so He legislated Hijaab for us.
• The eye
The eye is the most valuable item man 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 granted by 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 free intermixing. The result usually is committing unlawful sex, diseases, shame, destruction, and finally torment in Hell. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}Tell the 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 your Hijaab, 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 like a sweet left uncovered for flies to land on. Are you a commodity for sale, 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.

Women Site, - (Hijaab) - Hijab is Obligatory: Evidences from the Quranand Sunnah

Share::-

Wearing the Hijaab )Islamic covering( is a great act of worship and one of the most important obligations in Islam, as Allaah The Almighty has ordained it in His Book and has forbidden its opposite, which is uncovering and dressing improperly. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, commanded it in his Sunnah )tradition( and forbade its opposite. Moreover, it is the consensus of the Muslim scholars throughout the ages that the Hijaab is mandatory. Therefore, claiming that this act of worship )i.e., the Hijaab( was only obligatory in a certain period of history is baseless and the burden of proof is upon those who make this baseless claim.
As for the proof of the obligation of Hijaab in Islam, the following evidences clearly prove the obligatory nature of the Hijaab, and silence anyone who claims that it is an inherited tradition, or that it was only obligatory for the early Muslims.
Evidences from the Quran:
•}"And tell the believing women to reduce ]some[ of their vision and guard their private parts and not display their adornment except that which ]ordinarily[ appears thereof and to draw their head covers over their chests and not to display their adornments ]i.e., beauty[ except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers, their brother's sons, their sister's sons, their women, that which their right hands possess ]i.e., slaves[, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allaah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.''{]Quran, 24: 30[
'Aa'ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said,
"May Allaah have mercy upon the early women of Muhaajireen )the emigrants who came from Makkah(! When Allaah revealed )what means(:}"And tell the believing women to reduce ]some[ of their vision and guard their private parts and not display their adornment except that which ]ordinarily[ appears thereof and to draw their head covers over their chests and not to display their adornments ]i.e., beauty[ except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers, their brother's sons, their sister's sons, their women, that which their right hands possess ]i.e., slaves[, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allaah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed "{]Quran, 24: 30[ they tore a part of their garments and drew it down over their heads to cover themselves." ]Al-Bukhaari[
•}"And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage – there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments ]but[ not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain ]from that[ is better for them. And Allaah is Hearing and Knowing."{]Quran, 24: 60[.
•}"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your 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 Allaah Forgiving and Merciful."{]Quran, 33: 59[
•}"And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves )adornments( like that of the times of Jaahiliyyah )i.e., the pre-Islamic era(."{]Quran, 33: 33[
Evidences from the Sunnah:
1. 'Aa'ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, narrated that 'Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, "'O Messenger of Allaah! Why don’t you command your wives to cover themselves?' Then Allaah revealed the verse which obligates Hijaab." ]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[.
2. Ibn 'Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"On the Day of Resurrection, Allaah will not look at the one who drags his garment )below his ankles( out of pride."Umm Salamah, may Allaah be pleased with her, therefore asked, "What should women do with their dresses?" He, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, replied:"They should only lower it a hand-span )below the ankles(."She then replied, "But then their feet would be uncovered )while walking(." So he, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"Then they should lower it by an arm's length."]Abu Daawood and Tirmithi[
