HIJAAB For All Sisters in the light of QURAN and AHADITH HIJAAB Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It's a way of life. (Surat-un-Nur: 31) Some sisters say, “Well, my head is covered. What more do you want? The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: "In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it." (Muslim) dressed but naked On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. If it is see-through, its NOT Hijaab!! The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention The dress should not be such that it attracts men's attention to the woman's beauty. Allaah clearly states “not to display their beauty.” The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife. The Prophet then said to Osamah "ask her to use a "gholalah" under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones." (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) (The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body). Tinkling Jewelry and Jingling bracelets ‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse …… Allaah tells us: “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32] What about make-up and perfume...... Wearing make up is also part of the beauty Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright red lipstick or dark eyeliner ….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab, unless you are wearing a face cover, and keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid. No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right, …. Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. Why? Because a single ‘look’ can say more than a thousand words. So, even if you are properly covered, keep those eyes down, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’. ‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. Allaah condemns such sort of things Be careful, even in the way you walk Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and you will be respected Allaah says:". . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.“ [al-Ahzaab:32] The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…..” (Muslim). It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram. And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding. Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. Its part of Hijaab Hijaab is also to conceal your sister Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.” (Muslim) May Allah guide us and bless us with the TRUE understanding of His Deen. Ameen. | |
