!['WEARING REVEALING ABAYAS! A SIGN OF MODESTY OR FASHION?
Unfortunately we live in a Society which has turned "A Religious Garment" into something known as "Fitnah".
Ladies Nowadays wear abayas just to Show off their adornments their bodies and how rich they are ! They have made this Religious Obligation as a mean of "Fashion".
In Arab Countries, ladies think that wearing revealing and well-decorated Abayas is a sign of An Honour, pride and being Wealthy !
Muslimahs nowadays have forgot the value of Pleasing Allah and covering their modesty and Adornments. Lets look at a part of an Ayah of Surah An Noor
"And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”
[al-Noor 24:31]
Allaah has forbidden showing all adornment except that which is apparent, which is that which one cannot help showing, such as the outside of one's garment. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “…except only that which is apparent …” and He did not say, except that which they show of it. Some of the salaf, such as Ibn Mas’ood, al-Hasan, Ibn Sireen and others interpreted the phrase “except only that which is apparent” as meaning the outer garment and clothes, and what shows from beneath the outer garment (i.e., the hem of one’s dress etc.). Then He again forbids showing one’s adornment except to those for whom He makes an exception. This indicates that the second adornment mentioned is something other than the first adornment. The first adornment is the external adornment which appears to everyone and cannot be hidden. The second adornment is the inward adornment (including the body and face). If it were permissible for this adornment to be seen by everyone, there would be no point to the general wording in the first instance and this exception made in the second.
The reason for this ruling is the fear that men may be tempted by the woman and fall in love with her. Undoubtedly the face and a tight garment with a revealing body is the site of beauty and attraction, so concealing it is obligatory lest men who do feel desire be attracted and tempted by her.
The words (interpretation of the meaning): “And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment” mean that a woman should not stamp her feet so as to make known hidden adornments such as anklets and the like. If a woman is forbidden to stamp her feet lest men be tempted by what they hear of the sound of her anklets etc., then what about uncovering the face and revealing bodies instead of covering them?
Which is the greater source of temptation – a man hearing the anklets of a woman whom he does not know who she is or whether she is beautiful, or whether she is young or old, or ugly or pretty? Or his looking at a beautiful youthful face and revealing body that attracts him and invites him to look at it?
Every man who has any desire for women will know which of the two temptations is greater and which deserves to be hidden and concealed.
May Allah guide such Muslimahs on the Right Path. Ameen.'](https://scontent-sin.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/s403x403/11042974_1030512310311651_1463674657529248973_n.jpg?oh=0f999ecdfab264b07cca80783571eb79&oe=557B66FC)
