HIJAAB FOR WOMEN
Question:
Why does Islam degrade women by keeping them behind the veil?
Answer:
The status of women in Islam is often the target of attacks in the secular media. The ‘hijaab’ or the Islamic dress is cited by many as an example of the ‘subjugation’ of women under Islamic law. Before we analyze the reasoning behind the religiously mandated ‘hijaab’, let us first study the status of women in societies before the advent of Islam
In the past women were degraded and used as objects of lust.
The following examples from history amply illustrate the fact that the status of women in earlier civilizations was very low to the extent that they were denied basic human dignity:
1. Babylonian Civilization:
The women were degraded and were denied all rights under the Babylonian law. If a man murdered a woman, instead of him being punished, his wife was put to death.
2. Greek Civilization:
Greek Civilization is considered the most glorious of all ancient civilizations. Under this very ‘glorious’ system, women were deprived of all rights and were looked down upon. In Greek mythology, an ‘imaginary woman’ called ‘Pandora’ is the root cause of misfortune of human beings. The Greeks considered women to be subhuman and inferior to men. Though chastity of women was precious, and women were held in high esteem, the Greeks were later overwhelmed by ego and sexual perversions. Prostitution became a regular practice amongst all classes of Greek society.
3. Roman Civilization:
When Roman Civilization was at the zenith of its ‘glory’, a man even had the right to take the life of his wife. Prostitution and nudity were common amongst the Romans.
4. Egyptian Civilization:
The Egyptian considered women evil and as a sign of a devil.
5. Pre-Islamic Arabia:
Before Islam spread in Arabia, the Arabs looked down upon women and very often when a female child was born, she was buried alive.
2. Islam uplifted women and gave them equality and expects them to maintain their status.
Islam uplifted the status of women and granted them their just rights 1400 years ago. Islam expects women to maintain their status.
Hijaab for men
People usually only discuss ‘hijaab’ in the context of women. However, in the Glorious Qur’an, Allah (swt) first mentions ‘hijaab’ for men before ‘hijaab’ for the women. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Noor:
"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."
[Al-Qur’an 24:30]
The moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze.
Hijaab for women.
The next verse of Surah Noor, says:
" 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 veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons..."
[Al-Qur’an 24:31]
3.Six criteria for Hijaab.
According to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing hijaab:
1. Extent:
The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands upto the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijaab’.
All the remaining five criteria are the same for men and women.
2. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.
3. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.
4. The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.
5. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.
6. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.
4. Hijaab includes conduct and behaviour among other things
Complete ‘hijaab’, besides the six criteria of clothing, also includes the moral conduct, behaviour, attitude and intention of the individual. A person only fulfilling the criteria of ‘hijaab’ of the clothes is observing ‘hijaab’ in a limited sense. ‘Hijaab’ of the clothes should be accompanied by ‘hijaab’ of the eyes, ‘hijaab’ of the heart, ‘hijaab’ of thought and ‘hijaab’ of intention. It also includes the way a person walks, the way a person talks, the way he behaves, etc.
5. Hijaab prevents molestation
The reason why Hijaab is prescribed for women is mentioned in the Qur’an in the following verses of Surah Al-Ahzab:
"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad); that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[Al-Qur’an 33:59]
The Qur’an says that Hijaab has been prescribed for the women so that they are recognized as modest women and this will also prevent them from being molested.
6.Example of twin sisters
Suppose two sisters who are twins, and who are equally beautiful, walk down the street. One of them is attired in the Islamic hijaab i.e. the complete body is covered, except for the face and the hands up to the wrists. The other sister is wearing western clothes, a mini skirt or shorts. Just around the corner there is a hooligan or ruffian who is waiting for a catch, to tease a girl. Whom will he tease? The girl wearing the Islamic Hijaab or the girl wearing the skirt or the mini? Naturally he will tease the girl wearing the skirt or the mini. Such dresses are an indirect invitation to the opposite sex for teasing and molestation. The Qur’an rightly says that hijaab prevents women from being molested.
7. Capital punishment for the rapists
Under the Islamic shariah, a man convicted of having raped a woman, is given capital punishment. Many are astonished at this ‘harsh’ sentence. Some even say that Islam is a ruthless, barbaric religion! I have asked a simple question to hundreds of non-Muslim men. Suppose, God forbid, someone rapes your wife, your mother or your sister. You are made the judge and the rapist is brought in front of you. What punishment would you give him? All of them said they would put him to death. Some went to the extent of saying they would torture him to death. To them I ask, if someone rapes your wife or your mother you want to put him to death. But if the same crime is committed on somebody else’s wife or daughter you say capital punishment is barbaric. Why should there be double standards?
8.Western society falsely claims to have uplifted women
Western talk of women’s liberalization is nothing but a disguised form of exploitation of her body, degradation of her soul, and deprivation of her honour. Western society claims to have ‘uplifted’ women. On the contrary it has actually degraded them to the status of concubines, mistresses and society butterflies who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure seekers and sex marketeers, hidden behind the colourful screen of ‘art’ and ‘culture’.
9. USA has one of the highest rates of rape
United States of America is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries of the world. It also has one of the highest rates of rape in any country in the world. According to a FBI report, in the year 1990, every day on an average 1756 cases of rape were committed in U.S.A alone. Later another report said that on an average everyday 1900 cases of rapes are committed in USA. The year was not mentioned. May be it was 1992 or 1993. May be the Americans got ‘bolder’ in the following years.
Consider a scenario where the Islamic hijaab is followed in America. Whenever a man looks at a woman and any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he lowers his gaze. Every woman wears the Islamic hijaab, that is the complete body is covered except the face and the hands upto the wrist. After this if any man commits rape he is given capital punishment. I ask you, in such a scenario, will the rate of rape in America increase, will it remain the same, or will it decrease?
10. Implementation of Islamic Shariah will reduce the rate of rapes
Naturally as soon as Islamic Shariah is implemented positive results will be inevitable. If Islamic Shariah is implemented in any part of the world, whether it is America or Europe, society will breathe easier. Hijaab does not degrade a woman but uplifts a woman and protects her modesty and chastity.
"No one has the reason to question our religion coz honestly no one needs to."
LF: i'll reply with an interesting passage from the Qur'an:
"(2:111) "Bring your proof (of what ye state) if ye are truthful."
If you believe it, prove it."
==============
Regarding crime rate, it was already replied by Gypsy, crime is everywhere.
Only God Can Judge Me
الله فقط يمكنه محاكمتي
I am you and you are me, if you love i love, if you suffer i suffer
أنا أنت, و أنت أنا, إذا أحببت نفسك أحببت نفسي, إذا عانيتَ عانيتُ
I remember reading an article from a muslim cleric on his travels to Europe, i will try to find the article and name of the person:
"When I visit europe i didn't see many muslims but I saw Islam (e.g welfare state, helping poor etc) but when I am in middle east I see many muslims but not islam (e.g grotesque materialism, treatment of others etc"
making personal attacks on each other.
We need self control, personal ego and discipline, when we converse any religious matters; follow the sunnah of our beloved prophet (pbuh).
Islaam4u: Please read the passage again, it's pretty clear: "And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved." and "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? " They are specifically referring to when women PRAY, not every other moment of the day.
Leatherface: What planet do you live on? There's crime everywhere, and I've seen loads of shops here with metal shutters, most of the little convience stores have them. Not to mention that most windows here have iron bars in front of them. If crime looks less in the Islamic world it's because these places don't report the true amount of crime (as they are usually so technologically behind and corrupt they are incapable of getting proper statistics)
Leatherface...what planet are you on? Get in the real world.....
No one has the reason to question our religion coz honestly no one needs to. Therez no religion and a way of life so comprehensive and answerable as Islam. Hence we accept what it says w/o a question. Women or men who question Islamic beliefs and traditions are only non-muslims or the ones who have been corrupted by a non-Islamic society. As i said earlier, Islamic shariah is a word from God and no matter how weird it looks upfront to this so called "intelligent" people, it only has good to offer to mankind. Similarly, no matter how beneficial it looks for humans not to adhere to a certain Islamic ruling, it only is harmful to him or her in one way or the other.
GYPSY, have you ever pondered over why crime rate, economical system, banking system, monetary affairs are so weird in an Islamic state? If you give a serious thought to this, you'd probably be more interested to dig deeper into what Islam actually preaches and what it is actually percepted as.
I now know why no one dared to steal away my belongings while i forgot the stuffs at the food courts numerous times at City Centre and Villagio malls. You won't see shops with iron shutters here in the Middle East. You don't see any cases of stolen cars here. In the USA, the culture is full of vices but people seem to ignore it. They've found a way of life alongside it.
Islamic lifestyle promotes discipline, honesty and decorum in society. It doesn't matter if people don't accept it coz Islam isn't acceptable to people unless God himself wants him/her to.
But you must not worry GYPSY coz evil and anti-Islamic system will exist until one day it completely overtakes it and then its time for calling off the proceedings of this world....something you might know as "Judgement Day". You shud be fortunate to be not living close to Judgement day coz it'll be a time of great turmoil and decadence in society. What you see now will be at its worse best.
All you people take a chill pill and relax. There wud be muslim women who'd hate hijaab and condemn it. Such muslim women and men are termed as "hypocrites" in the Qur'an. But a pure muslim wud never be maligned by foreign cultures such as these Qatari and Saudi women. They wud never marry outside their country nationals, no matter what!!
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
Lol Gypsy, I was actually. The Sisters hated me in Sunday school, said I asked too many questions.... I haven't changed much since then.

Please refer the original bible text and also translation, no where the word women in the church only should do this is mentioned nor in the previous verses or future verses. But these days the church interprets like that and when read translations it is added in some versions in brackets (in church). But it is mentioned in original script and earlier versions of bible women in general.
http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=2820
(2)I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings, just as I passed them on to you. (3)Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (4) Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. (5)And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. (6)If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. (7)A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. (8)For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; (9)neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. (10)For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head. (11)In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. (12)For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. (13)Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? (14)Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, (15)but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. (16)If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. Corinthians 11:2-16
And fighting anti social elements and evil with true & perfect religion is the solution. There is God and Only Our Creator knows Best what is the best way of life and rules and regulations can govern us. We need to identify the divine laws revealed to us not man made or those whose men's hands were dipped into. Follow the right religion u will get real peace and can bring peace to the world.
Watch this:
Islam: Most people had already agreeded that wearing an Hijab aren't opressed if they use it by their own choice and not imposed.
Gypsy/Amoud: lol
Only God Can Judge Me

Rape comments are very very niave and not backed up by explanation of the statatistics.
To my knowledge rape in marriage "doesn't exist' in middle eastern countries. i.e people don't believe it happens, and it is not crime.
So comparing west and eastern numbers is wrong from the start.
Please watch
You obviously weren't raised Catholic Amoud ;p
No need for apologies :) I didnt post with the intention of getting you to say sorry, just a little claification as I do believe all people are born pure.

"For people who likes to be nude and call for nudity, ask yourselves one question:
"Do you agree to see your wife or sister or daughter or even your mother (for males) and your husband or son (for females) walking nude in public just because they are pure in heart?"
No issues with it really, the only reason I would object is because very few cultures and places find it acceptable anymore, so I would urge them to wear clothes so they don't face any problems from other in society. However in a society like ancient Rome where nudity was more common place and acceptable...well "When in Rome" ;)
Hirmas, the churches aren't doing anything to stop the overall societal problems, in fact they do more to stop efforts to help with things like pro-life, no birth control, no condoms, the very concept of sin. And no I don't believe replacing one addiction (drugs, alcohol or sex) with another (Religion, God) is the right answer.
Amoud: Sorry I didn't realize there was that much of a difference in the creation myth between Christianity and Islam.
Leatherface: What about Muslim women who are cheated on by their Muslim husbands? What religion do they turn to? And the only reason you consider my arguments to be ridiculous is because you refuse to listen to them, as they might actually cause you to question your religion, and your religion has drilled into your head that questioning is wrong.
Islaam4u: Corninthians is referring to the role of women in the church, not women in everyday life. So yes, nuns are asked to cover or shave their heads, but that is to identify them as brides of Christ. Also St. Paul is a bit of a misogynist and his views of women are highly influenced by this.
Please dont misinterpret or misunderstand, i didnot attack any religion and we shouldnt according to ISlam. We all are children of Adam and we are honoured as Quran inteprets Respect and honour all human beings irrespective of their religion, colour, race, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job and so on [Quran 17/70]
What i was showing here is different religion contains similar teachings but the common ignorant people including some ignorant muslims comments 'muslim women who wears hijaab are oppressed'. And always Islam is chosen to be blamed when rest of most of other religions teaches same.
Hope u got it.
Great!!! after all these great theories - What did these braught for the world.. PEACE????

Islam: I'm a new convert but i was raised catholique and the only christian woman that would use such a dress would be a Nun, and those are forced to stay single and virgin all their lifes, so, it can't be compared with the muslim women, once again i say that it's a woman choice to use or not, only Allah can judge.

As a man, you may enjoy watching those nude girls/women as long as your family's females are not between them!
You can't say "i don't care" because even the male animals have jealousy for their females!
Choose between Humans and .... animals!"
Hmmm, are you aware that humans are racional animals? Or do you think humans are vegetables or minerals?
Now, about dominating males in the wild, i have some aquariums with African cichlids and i have watched their behavior, what they don't allow is that another male tries to take 1 of their females and not because he looked at those females naked ( only humans use clothes ).
The main thing here is that wear it or not it is a woman's choice.
Gipsy: Fully agree with you, if church wants to fight drugs why do they use wine to represent Jesus blood?

Islaam4u
At the end when a christian woman follows the Bible teachings and observes Hijab u call her a nun and she is respected. When a hindu woman follow her scripture and observes hijab she is called sati savitri. Why only when muslim woman wears u say She is , Oppressed ?
I didnt say he sinned Victor, I said that Eve didnt provoke him as believed in Christianity. Gypsy was tying this christian theory in with Islam...

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"
With our due and sincere respect to Adam (our father, peace upon HIM); it was a mistake and breach of instructions, No sin.
Gypsy, Islam does not think that Eve is the root of all evil and do not believe in the theory of original sin. From an Islamic perspective, Adam did it all on his own. Islam also does not believe that all people are born with this original sin as no one is accountable for the sins of others.

11. Hijab mentioned also in the various scriptures of other religions:
Eg: Christianity:
"If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved
off, she should cover her head" the Bible 1 Corrinthians 11:3-6
People must understand that when men and women become victims of their so called modernized societies, they turn to an Islamic lifestyle. Women who get exploited in marital affairs, come to Islam for peace and a way of life. These modern day philosophers and educated lot when exposed to the miracles of the Qur'an, they have nothing but false and arguments to present.
I donno what religion GYPSY follows, but if she is serious about her arguments, then she must go read what her own book ordains her. She'd find herself in a state of sheer ignorance. GYPSY, your arguments are really ridiculous and of no depth.
In Christianity, prophet Jesus never said he's God or the son of God. It was something made out of him and his teachings. Therez a lot more contradictions among christian beliefs and the true teachings of the gospel (old testament). Similarly, whats currently practised in a culture worldwide is just made out of common sense and what suits best to each individual. For example in Germany, people don't believe in any God and men and women have scores of girlfriends and boyfriends in their lifetime. They just don't seem to know what marriage is all about. I came to know this from a guy who visited Doha from Berlin on a business trip. Islam sees this as fornication and is rightly just.
The directive of the Qur'an for women and men to observe dress code is not for common man to interpret.
People who have a problem accepting Islamic lifestyle must wait for something bad to happen into their lives to enable them to realise why these rules were put in place. For the rest, they're simply misfortunate.
May God give guidance and understanding to all who deserve!
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
No body can ignore the power of money! That means people behind and who control the prostitution and drug businesses are living from that business careless about the destructive effect of their business on people and societies!
As long as those "animals" who promote and deal and direct that kind of business earn money, they will even kill the Pope himself if he makes serious actions against them.
Those "easy targets" may be the result of alcoholic and/or addictions life. The least right for those people is to help and keep them away from going south more and more or even going back to what caused their misery.
The belief can never die in any person. It may become small and decrease, but with a very small shock it will become alive again. Like you can do all the sins you can imagine and you also don't believe in God at all, but the first name you call when you are in danger is God!
I wonder why is that!?
"Well, what do you say about the new refreshing era in Europe and USA for the Christian organisations and associations to put back-on-track and attract new people to Christian religion?"
What new refreshing era? Religious belief is, as a whole, disappearing, especially in the West. As for the tendency of religious organizations to target the poor, alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes etc, they are doing so cause they are easy targets and are easily brainwashed.
For people who likes to be nude and call for nudity, ask yourselves one question:
"Do you agree to see your wife or sister or daughter or even your mother (for males) and your husband or son (for females) walking nude in public just because they are pure in heart?"
Purity in heart reflects the purity of actions and deeds.
As a man, you may enjoy watching those nude girls/women as long as your family's females are not between them!
You can't say "i don't care" because even the male animals have jealousy for their females!
Choose between Humans and .... animals!
Nothing personal!
In very simple words, when someone gives you or does a favore for you, won't you be greatful for him? What if that someone saves your or your beloved's life? Won't you be in debt for him for the rest of your life? Now what about that someone who gave you life, soul, body, brain, and made you able to be a human being rather than a monkey or a donkey!? Not mentioning that he created you and he (and only he) knows you and knows the best for you. If that someone tells you (as a woman) to cover your hair and body and don't let anyone except your husband see and touch it, then he knows it's the best for you more than your limitted brain can ever know why. By logic, he gave you life and health and your whole life, moreover he knows your future and your secrets because he created you, won't you listen to him and obey him? The brain and human's nature says we all have to obey whoever made a good deed to us (as a favore pay back). That "someone" some call him with many names. But again, the human's native/nature can never believe that a human being can creat such life and do such favors for all humans. He must be someone above everything else our mind can imagine. But we can only sense his greatness and presense in our lives.
Not diving away from the main topic, but commenting on Gypsy's words about "these things were perfectly normal and acceptable, and in some societies prostitutes or courtesans were highly regarded members of society". Well, what do you say about the new refreshing era in Europe and USA for the Christian organisations and associations to put back-on-track and attract new people to Christian religion? They all start to fight the prostitution and alcohol and else. They finally start to see and feel the bad influence of those bad deeds, especially on youth and the new generation of this time.
So i believe that no matter how fun and exciting our desires may seem, not all what shines is gold!
"4. Egyptian Civilization:
The Egyptian considered women evil and as a sign of a devil"
That's not true, and has Gipsy stated and i can confirm "in Ancient Egypt women were actually revered and in fact daughters and wives of the pharoahs were considered vessels of the Gods and you couldnt' become a pharoah until you married one of them"
"3. Roman Civilization:
When Roman Civilization was at the zenith of its ‘glory’, a man even had the right to take the life of his wife. Prostitution and nudity were common amongst the Romans."
Hmmm, you never studied world history did you?
In Roman mithology there was a God called Baco, he was the wine God, and there were a lot of celebrations on his name, almost all ending with a huge party and an orgy. So, you better not going this way.
Prostitution is the oldes profession in the world.
Nudity - Why fealing ashamed? If you are pure in heart, nudism wont affect you.

Anyways, it is good information.
"In Greek mythology, an ‘imaginary woman’ called ‘Pandora’ is the root cause of misfortune of human beings."
In Islam, an imaginary woman named Eve was the root cause of all misfortune to human beings...so what's your point.
And can you please provide links and proof to the rest of your arguments, as I'm quite sure in Ancient Egypt women were actually revered and in fact daughters and wives of the pharoahs were considered vessels of the Gods and you couldnt' become a pharoah until you married one of them.
As for "prostitution and nudity" try looking at these things without it being coloured by what your Quran says is bad, these things were perfectly normal and acceptable, and in some societies prostitutes or courtesans were highly regarded members of society. (Japan)

Jazak Allah Khair..
Absolutely brilliant arguments. Islamic shariah was built and ordained by Allah SWT and human mind is incapable to interpret or falsify it. Mankind will only bear the good out of its adherence.
