What's your view on Hijab?

[Muslimah]

Salaam walaikom everyone,

The hijab/niqab/burka/no hijab is a huge debate between my family and I. I feel like the hijab is mandatory because the Quran tells us (and this is my interpretation) to guard our modesty and show nothing but your face and hands.

What is your view on hijab? How many of you cover? And if so, what do you wear? Hijab, niqab?

Manana

[Muslimah]

Hehe are you the only one with any thoughts? I agree with you!! Why would some people say its an option?

[Pakhtunzai]

Hijab is deffinently required. Wearing skinny jeans and expoising your body is unacceptable in Islam.

the covering of your buttocks is a must.

Omg, I don't mean to judge other girls but i've seen some ridiculously dressed people here and they cover their heads but with other part of their body completely exposed and act like a ****..and i'm like..whats the point? I would rather they don't wear the hijab because you give the true and good hijabis a bad name.

I really respect the girls who wear hijab for the sake of Islam and Allah..hijab is something to cover ones chaste and keep away the attention.

Put it like this if I was a girl I would wear it 100%

[Muslimah]

hehe, I am sure its been repeated. But I am just trying to figure out how to talk to my mom.

For me I wear it because I know it is a must, but also because I am proud to be Muslimah and I want the whole world to know!

[MazloomyarMaseed]

Wear it and Shut up

Just kidding.

I didnt know Hair can be so attractive

[Muslimah]

My mom tried ripping it off my head in public and I got so mad. I screamed "what is your problem? why is it such a big deal that strangers see my hair?" and she was like "well you look like a terrorist"

lol so hair isnt a big deal...its just the stereotype. But quite frankly, its the strong wonderful hijabi women that are stopping those stereotypes. I would like to think I am one of those! hehe

My mom met with these 2 women from Pakistan. They both drink, go to clubs, don't wear hijab. Quite frankly, I don't think they're Muslims at all, but they call themselves Muslim. My mom asked them about me and why I wear hijab. Their response was that I am an extremist and hijab is an option, not a choice. Unfortunately, it just made things worse between my mom and I because now she is refusing to think anything other than what they told her.

Hijab is obligatory, covering the face has some controversy between the scholars.

But no muslim says hijab is not fard. This is how we recognize believing women from disbelieving women.

Hijab is a khimar that covers the head, neck and draped over the chest. While the outer garment covers the rest of the body including the legs.

[Iqra]

Do you think it's fair to call a women who doesn't understand/realize the importance of wearing hijab a non believer?

Within Islam people have different levesl of Iman ..and those at higher states shouldn't look down at those who are in lower states and still learning things that are known to the more superior ...

I didnot say they were not muslim. i said this is how we recognize a believing woman since Allah addresses tell the free believing women to cover up.

For example, if i saw a pashtun woman who was not wearing hijab, while a white convert who was. I can recognize who is muslim with surety and who might be muslim but i will be in doubt.

Ok I am sorry .. "disbelieving woman/women"

I know you'd be able to recognize her ... but my point is about some people that don't see / know / understand the importance of hijab...for whatever reasons. It is not a good excuse, but apparently that is how it is right now. That doesn't make it right either ...but once again that's how it is...

[Muslimah]

Many woman here don't wear hijab because they feel pressure to fit in, because they are scared of being successful and being singled out. I watch students in my class take off hijab because their friends are like "ohhh but you were so pretty without your hijab, now you're not pretty". To a 12 year old, thats TRAGIC! This society frustrates me sometimes.

[inqilab]

Yeh, many things to blame, society, parents, the person themselves etc.

Since the world is dominated by unislamic acts, the reward for practicing islam is much greater. We live in tough times.

The colonialists try to attack islam and especially try to spread their immoral corrupt beliefs regarding women into our lands. I call this westernization. Most of their corrupt wars have been targeting our pure muslim women, they want our pure women to be impure like their western disfigured women who are less than animals.

So we have to resist it for Allah and for ourselves and the reward is great.

[Iqra]

There are many different reasons why some people don't wear hijab... and it is sad bec of them not knowing/ being mislead or whatever other reason it is ...

but my point is...that some ppl are at different levels of understanding ..and those ppl shouldn't be looked down upon ... (I am not saying anyone did such a thing...but just pointing something out).

beauty is in modesty
