Dear sisters
Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It’s a way of life.
Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don’t realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head.
Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…..the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life.
Allaah says:
“And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you believers, in order that you are successful.” (Surat-un-Nur: 31).

For all the sisters and brothers too, who make friends with girls and vice-versa and make unacceptable and useless comments over scantily dressed women/men. Please stay away from doing such acts of disrespect to the whole Ummah, cos’ your actions are considered a part of the entire society. Know and understand your responsibility as a Muslim before you build castles, with praise of such people.
Refrain from encouraging men/women by posting images where you do not show your face but your body is quite evident.
As a responsible Ummah, rise up and open your eyes to such indecent acts of body display.
If you do not ponder now, you may end up seeing similar or even worse pictures of your wife, sisters or daughters in the future.
This post doesn't mean to hurt anyone's sentiments but only aims to awaken the Ummah about the rising fitnahs' in our society.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan
