Asslamu Alaikum First, welcome to the IC. nice to see you here.. this is your rose and you deserve more.. Don not worry sister!! try to obey as much as you can but then do not do what harms you because Allah doesn't want nay harm for us. May Allah make it easy for you to wear Hijab. Others should not blame you cause they do not know what you face to wear Hijab.. just fight for the sake of Allah in the limits of what does not cause you harm. If it is just a wierd look or a bad word that is fine for the sake of Allah.. we should be warriors for the sake of Allah and bear more. Again, WELCOME!! |

As Salamu Alaikum
SubhanAllah ! Good discussion sisters. As always, sis Full of hopes, shares good articles. JazakAllahu khayr. I feel very frustrated at those muslimahs who wear hijab and misuse them. Few change the essence behind hijab. Abayas have embroidery over it,and few shine so much. They easily attract attention of people. I don't like, those abayas, as one of the sister mentioned, {may be sis Kauthar}, that they are so skin tight --- By the way, though late, but i wish to welcome sisters Berre and Kawthar. Hope and wish, you participate actively in other discussions as well. |

Assallmualaikum Sis Talibah, Yes you are right sister, alhamdulilah it is relatively easier to follow Hijab in Pakistan. But you brought up valid points of the struggle some sisters have to face when starting to observe Hijaab. Sounds strange, but yes, some other Muslims and Muslimahs can create so many hurdles for a muslim who is trying to practice their deen. Even your own family members can sometimes say such cruel thing - they shake your imaan sometimes. Especially if you belong to a westernized circle who consider themselves "modern" & "educated" - they may talk about being open-minded - but they are very close-minded when it comes to Muslimahs who wish to make an effort to cover themselves up. It can make your effort all that more difficult. I know many Muslimahs who wanted to cover up, tried it, and then abandoned it because they were shunned by people in their social group. My father's own friend, calls such women "Fundos" (derogatory short for fundamentalists). "Lets see how long she can keep this up". That can put a lot of pressure on a Muslimah who is just starting out ! When I didnt wear the Hijaab in front of my then 5yr old cousin, an uncle would make fun and say - wear your hijaab, your cousin is a non-mahram. They thought it was all good fun . I had older relatives of mine tell me that the Hijaab makes girls look older, and you're too young to wear it ! Its okay to take it off on weddings, its just family Even some school teachers gave me weird reactions. Teachers I had known since years literally asked "Whats wrong with you?" (Tumhe kia ho gaya hai larki?) and "You shouldn't go to such extremes" (even though I was trying to follow just the basics of Hijab, I wasn't even wearing an abaya or niqaab, they thought it was extreme ) Hence, I really respect those who actually manage to get to the level of the Niqaab. There are so many Jihads a Muslimah has to go through. So when I see some Muslimahs trying to practise "thier version of the Hijaab" - as long as thier actions don't speak otherwise - I try not to judge. I don't know what thier personal Jihaad is, or how much they are struggling with thier own Imaan. Don't get me wrong, there are those you meet who are supportive, and I came across those people too, but that part of the post just got me going. In fact I think I am going to write an article on "The Plight of the Muslimah".
That part is encouraging. Alhamdulilah. Edited by Chrysalis - 23 December 2009 at 1:43pm |

Asalalam ALaikum,
It is interesting what you wrote Chrysalis. Probably I had little trouble was 1. I did not understand the language 2. It was actually GOOD for me to wear it as a foreigner. I remember once that when I met with this "captain" who spoke English for dinner with a friend, he said to me "You like wearing "that?" I said yes, sure. He wasn't expecting that! LOL I had an interesting chat with a young sister there. Everyday she wore make-up. She asked me if I wanted to wear some. I said why would I want to draw men's attention. (Had ENOUGH of that in Pakistan.. lol). She took her's off but the next day it was on... I think there are profound cultural influence all over the world. Another young sister I know tried to wear it but got a lot of pressure from classmates, teachers etc to be less observant. |
