We will discuss, concept of administered fate in the above thread.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

salamualikum,
what happened in california is terrible and i pray for the safety of the believers. hijab is the modesty of a muslimah, it can't be compromised, God created us and our brains and he knows what is good for us and whats bad. a manufacturer knows more of his product than the user and Allah the creater knows what is best for us. this unfortunate incident is rare and occurs mostly is US or europe and those who carry out these attacls are a minority, they do this because of the hatred against muslims. if muslims can't live there in peace than they should migrate where they are safe like the muslims did when they were persecuted in Makkah and than migrated to abyssinia a christian country and to medina.
they want muslims to leave there faith which is impossible, there actions will result in nothing but hatred and islam will continue to grow inshAllah.
 
May Allah protect, guide and help the Ummah, ameen.

AS we know the men are the protectors and the maitainers of women...
and per the following Sign injunction about covering of the women folks:

  • 33:59 (Y. Ali) 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.

  • Now consider what happens when the Muslim men are not available for the Muslimahs' protection then what is the best approach to preclude molestation...Does the last part allows a waiver in such circumstances?
    Why I am saying this cuz read in the following news report that involves  a murder/ martyrdom of an Imam and literal molestation his hijabi daughters on the high desert town of our state of California ...It makes me so perturbed about this for those families who have ended up due to economics in small towns USA...CLICK BELOW FOR WHOLE STORY

    FBI investigating fatal blast at a San Bernardino County home as a hate crime

    ...........................................................
    The family, which includes seven children, lived on a large lot along Yermo Road for the last four years. Life hasn't always been peaceful. They reported being insulted based on their Arab heritage, having their religion mocked and being threatened.

    Ahmad Mohd, 14, said a group of children at his school routinely challenged him to fights, used racial epithets and told him, "Go home, Arab." His father complained to school officials, who suspended some of the students, but the harassment continued, Ahmad said.

    The school superintendent was on vacation and could not be reached for comment Thursday.

    Asmaa Mohd, 18, who wears a traditional Arab head covering called a hijab, reported being taunted with a racial slur as some youths tried to tear off her head covering.


    Should they be sitting ducks when there aren't very many Muslims there for their protection?
    Isn't the requirement fulfilled by wearing a doctors coat under 33:59?

    I respectfully beg to differ.

    When I look around me, or read about the life of sahaba - or even umhatul Momineen, I realise that marriage/finding a partner is part of normal 'fate' . . . who you are going to marry (and if you are going to be married) has all been determined by Allah for you. You can 'try' all you want...its just fate.
    My friend, was dating a boy for 6yrs, and she told me that if she didnt 'try', how was she going to get married. The boy even met the parents, went against 'hurdles', parents agreed. Then they had a quarrel, and the whole marriage was cancelled. Even I had started to believe they would get married. . .

    Remember the incident of Umm Salama? She had never in her dreams thought of a husband other than Abu Salamma, and never could have imagined a better husband than him. Then came Prophet Muhammad! Subhanallah. So many other examples around us.

    Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 312: It is related from Anas ibn Malik that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah the Mighty and Majestic appoints an angel to every womb who says, 'O Lord! A sperm drop! O Lord A clot! O Lord! A lump of flesh! ' Then if He desires to complete His creation, He does so and the angel asks, 'Is it to be male or female? Wretched or happy? What is its provision? What is its life-span?' This is all decreed in the mother's womb.

    Well you guess right Hidayah. This is from the teachings of Tasawwuf or Sufism. Natural Fate from the phrase - LAHAULAWALA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAHILALIYILADZEEM - meaning - There is no power nor strength save in Allah; the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)"

    And Administered Fate - Verily, never
    will Allah change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves" (Holy Quran 13:11

    Take for example death. It is itself a Natural Fate as well as Administered Fate. Nobody can deny death but how we die, is administered by human, either ourselves or other people.

    Man and woman naturally are made for each other. That is natural. How we find our partners, is administered fate.

She said that she felt as this muslimah wears hijab, she must be more conscious of God and that made her talk to her.



    Yes sis, absolutely!!

    that's what happened to me when I was still trying to know more about this deen. You can more trust those who are truly adhering about this deen in looks and in deeds though they got limitd knowledge about it... rather than those who just profess to be a muslim and speaks about this deen so beautifully but do not look like following it..

    Putting on hijab should start from within. Do it for Allah not for anything else. Then you will feel comfortable physically and spiritually.
    [/QUOTE]


    Mashallah!!!

    I so much love this line!!!!
    This is what I call true faith, sobhanallah!!

    Our clothing should be an outward manifestation of the deen we believe and practice in our heart and minds. We must be modest in the way we think, what we do, what we say, where we go, what we hear etc. On the day when we are made to stand in front of Allah, our body parts themselves will either testify for us or against us.

    Our hijab must reflex our inner love of the deen and Allah and our determination to live a life pleasing to our Creator from Whom nothing is hidden.
