( ﺭﻭﺍﻩ ﺍﻟﺒﻮﺩﺍﺅﺩ )
My dear sisters in Islam! In the frame of this hadees this article has been presented . In the
above mentioned hadees the Prophet (pbuh) said , o Asma! Surely when a women reach state
of puberty then this is not permissible for her to show her body parts except this and this ,
and Prophet (pbuh) points towards his face and palms.
Haya itself is derived from the word hayat which means life.
Narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik, the Prophet (saw) said:
When lewdness is a part of anything, it becomes defective; and
when haya is a part of anything it becomes beautiful. (Tirmidhi)
So it is only obvious that Hijab plays an extremely important role in regards to Haya. For Hijab
prevents lewdness and Haya backs this up and then person's Iman becomes even stronger. So
both things work together in a partnership. At the time of our beloved Prophet (Pbuh) as soon
as the verses of Hijab were revealed, all the Quraish and Ansar ran home to their wives and
daughters and close female relatives to tell them to cover themselves. The ones who had veils
used them and the ones who did not have veils made some right away. For instance the
following hadith tells us:
Narrated by Aisha (ra): May Allah have mercy on the early immigrant
women. When the verse "That they should draw their veils over their
bosoms" was revealed, they tore their thick outer garments and
made veils from them. And when the verse "That they should cast
their outer garments over themselves" was revealed, the women of
Ansar came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing
outer garments. (Abu Dawood)
This indicates that all these women wanted to guard their modesty
which is why they followed out the orders of Allah.
If women in today's society choose not to wear the veils, but some belief in their hearts, than
they might be categorised as Muslim women but not Mumineen. The truth is that Haya is a
special characteristic of a Mu'min ( believing, practicing Muslims). People
who are ignorant of the teachings of the Prophet (saws) do not concern themselves with Haya
and Honour. Haya and Iman are
interdependent; therefore either they both exist together or they both perish. Thus, the Prophet
(saws) has said in one hadith, "When there is no haya left, then do as you please."
As far as we know that the condition of women in the ancient Arab was worst , on coming
Prophet and Islam , this turn to good and Islam is the first to raise the level of women in the
society . But as we ignore Islam as results now a days women is the most suffering species of
our society just because we forget Islam and some don't want to understand it.
So let us know what are the worst effect of not to be in hijaab or not to wear proper clothes as
Islam prescribed for us.
There are mainly *5 issues with which women suffering from now a days in whole the world
just because of ignoring teaching of Islam , these are ;
*RAPE /MOLESTATION/ ABUSE
*MISSING OF SELF RESPECT / TRAPED IN DEPRESSION
* SKIN PROBLEMS/ HAIR PROBLEMS
* ROBBED /MURDER
*GAIN ALMIGHTY ALLAH'S ANGER AND PROVOKE PUNISHMENT.
Some evidence/ facts are as follows ,
In 2005 , Australian Muslim preacher Feiz Muhammad gave a speech in Australia- said, '' A
victim of rape every minute somewhere in the world. Why? No one to be blame but herself. She
displayed her beauty to the entire world... Strapped, backless, sleeveless, showing their legs ,
nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blows, miniskirts tight jeans : all these to
tease man and appear to his carnal nature.
In a 1996 Survey of Judges in India , 68% of the respondents said that provocative clothing is
an invitation to rape .
One of the factor is subjectization of women in Indian cinema ... Because women's dress code.
They wear vulgar dresses in the name of modernity . That induces . Its human nature that men
will be attracted to do sex when women wear improper dresses . Which leads to molestation ,
abuse and rape.
One study in Turkey found that 33% of police officers agreed with the assertion that ''some
women deserve rape'' and 66% agreed that,'' the physical appearance and behaviours of
women tempt men to rape.
ISLAM ALREADY GUIDE US ON THESE ISSUES THAT HOW AND WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW AND
TO DO SPEAK WITH OPPOSITE SEX . BUT WE DON'T READ QURAN AND NOT TO UNDERSTAND
HADEES. ITS OUR MISTAKES WHAT WE ARE TODAY AND WHAT WE HAVE SUFFERING FROM.
Now move on second issue /fact..
Rape and sexsual assault are particularly distressing crimes for the victims and effects can last
for a long time such as ,
> feel isolated
> hated own self Leeds to suicide
> honour killing
> mental disorder
These causes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that is carried into adulthood for those who
experienced repeated beatings , molestation and were the target of cursing, result in things
such as low self-esteem ,depression and anxiety, startle responses with very little stimulation
, afraid of public etc.
Hijaab , veils' naqaab , burkha protect you from above discussed problems but also it prevent
the pollution to capture you.
We all know;
The coming down harsh UV rays from the sun;
• penetrate into your strands and break down the melanin.
• They sap up your natural proteins and make your hair weak and dull.
• They dry up your hair's moisture leaving it brittle and prone to split ends.
And hence experts says,'' Keep your hair wrapped in a scarf when travelling to save it from the
sun, dust and pollution . And try to exposed lesser hair. Also in addition, experts says; one of
the best way to protect your family from the sun is to cover up. Be sure that clothes will
screen out harmful UV rays by placing your hand inside the garments and making sure you
can't see it through them.
Do you get what the experts says? These things already inform us in the glorious Qur'an. But
we don't think .
Similarly what jewelleries you wear are observe easily by robbers if you are not in proper
cover /hijaab and they robbed and killed you easily as uncovered women have been raped
easily .
When a women to be in Hijab she cover herself physically as well as she covers her soul and
protect her mind from bad deeds and she attains Allah's protection and blessing on contrary
those who deny the Allah's order and words of PROPHET they receives loss and provoke
punishment.
As Allah says in Quran
In surah nisah -ch4 - ayat 14 .
But
whoso disobeys God, and His Messenger, and transgresses His
bounds, him He will admit to a Fire, therein dwelling forever, and
for him there awaits a humiliating punishment.
The Prophet (saws) said: "Haya and Trustworthiness will be the first
to go from this world; therefore keep asking Allah for
them."
In conclusion we must understand that Haya is important for bothmen and women. Men are to
control themselves by getting married as young as possible or if they cannot afford that, they
should fast. Women are told to conceal themselves so that the men will not be over taken by
the whispers of Sheytan and will not disrespect or take advantage of the women.
There are many verses in the Qur'an
that have clearly explained how we have to behave and Allah is All- Knowing therefore He
knew that we would face these problems living in this society, and that is no excuse to
change Islam and only practice what we feel is right. Allah (swt) has told men how to guide
their modesty and has told women how to guide their modesty. If either one of them refuse to
follow the commandment of their Lord, may Allah have mercy on them and may He guide them
to the straight path.
Quran guide us;
"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and
guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and
Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the
believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their
modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments
except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw
their veils over their bosoms and not display their
beauty……." (Qur'an Surah An-Nur, ch-24 ayat 30-31)
ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH, AND MAY HIS PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE
UPON MUHAMMAD (SAW), HIS FAMILY, HIS COMPANIONS AND HIS
TRUE FOLLOWERS UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.
May Allah guide me and all of us on the straight path.
That's all from the blessing of Allah SUBHANUTA'ALA.
Jazak Allah.
