This sounds a bit ridiculous but it works for me when I find myself pointing fingers for all the wrong reasons. I step into the shoes of a blind person and see the world through their eyes. Now mind you, I’m still a bit vain, and i happen to worship beauty. But my lucky disposition is that no woman is ugly, for they all have their own positive attributes. The whole head coverings for males became religious in Judah and it basically was a way to humble yourself before Allah Subhanna wa ta Allah. It was meant as a humbling device for the men, and for the women it was supposed to be a humbling thing as well, but got perverted into “Gotta cover my beauty, so males won’t become tempted.”
My question to all the religious men out there, is why on Earth does a woman have to give up her sovereignty in so that naive males don’t spray their shorts every time they walk by one? Tis a simple trust issue. If you can trust yourself then others will follow, needless to say it takes time. Be the change you wish to see in the world. If it is to wear a hijab and cover yourself from those untrustworthy males then do it. If it is to show your beauty off to the world knowing that good gentlemen will kindly retract their glances, then so be it.

well… ugh…
I admit I had sex with a hijabi once.

You know honestly, im watching this happen right now, at my school there are two moroccan sisters, their FOBS right. So like any other muslim girl I went up to greet them so they atleast felt welcomed, then I found out they didnt speak english that well and the only way of talking to them was bringing another FOB from yemen. You know my school half the population is muslim, and a good majority of the girls there are hijabi’s and some wear skirts too, we even had a niqabi. So these sisters were hijabies and for good reason one sisters hair is beauuuuutiful. But now I dont know who’s getting to them, they started slowly to take off their veil, their hair is still covered but its just not a hijab its kind of like the head peice you wear under the hijab. First one sister started it, then the week later the other sister started doing it. You know there’s nothing much you can say about it. I’m not the type to call you out on what your doing, its none of my business. you know school is one of the places that hold a big influence in your life, I assumed that they would feel comfortable wearing their hijab seeing as every other face in the hallway is a muslim girl or boy. But I guess not.

They don’t realise they don’t get the blessings from Allah if they wear it for purposes other than Islam so why bother? You could wear a mini skirt and tank top… that would attract attention just as well. If its not from your heart and for a man… then sorry its dishonesty, hypocrisy and a lie. You are only deceiving yourself. Why can’t they see that?

It all comes down to being convinced, any girl/woman or whoever wants to wear Hijab that should be their own choice not someone’s else. Our religion encourages the women to wear Hijab by a smart method; Hasanat. Cause for every person that sees a girl/woman with Hijab she gets Hasanah.

Because those weaklings didn’t understand the concept and the point behind Hijab they took it off. Whether you name it hypocrisy or dishonesty, their weakness of understanding the religion is, at least my opinion, the only factor here.

Firts story has the word Hypocrisy all over it or some physcologicl disorder for the that girls.

Second Story: Two to blame here first hear paernts they ordered her to wear hijab yet they didn’t teach her the imprtance for it for any muslim women, the second one to blame is the girl herself: she wore hijab, God gave her a brain so why didn’t she try and read why muslim women should wear hijab, what have scholars said about it and what does wearing one means.

Third Story: Common Mona why blaming the guy, May be he isn’t treating her as his posession maybe he advised her and she did do it, As for the last thing you wrote, In Quran When Moses went away for egyapt and help the two duaghers of Shu3ayeb (don’t know how it’s in english) he wlaked front of them as a sign of repect to then and to not watch them from behind as they move, but as for wto married couples i thinks it’s kinda of lame and stupid when a man walks behind his wife like that, if only muslim men treat their wives as the prophet(PBUH) did then maybe will start be good

Ah, you discovered that people who look ostentatiously religious aren’t always like that? And that they use the religous guise to have a good reputation, all the while doing things us plain people wouldnt get away with?

Maybe the second girl rebelled against her upbringing, finally finding the courage to put on different clothes. Maybe she even left her religion.

Dont be so harsh on the last girl, people will do alot for love and/or social recognition, wearing different clothes is a minor price to pay. I’d wear a djebella for my girl.

I recognise that story, a women told me about a niqabi who used the weil to be unfatihful with another man.. isn´t that what happens when you force women to wear a veil.. and it doesn´t have to be that straight forward forcing, it´s the way you explain it about people who look down on you if you don´t wear a veil, silent bullying – and people adjust, conform, it´s a way of forcing women – nobody stands beeing totally on their own .. it´s a little bit the same with the hateful attitude against homosexuals, the ones who hate the most are often the ones who themselves have homosexuals tendencies, and are scared.. it´s about hating yourself/being scared, and taking that out on others i think.

Your article is so true – I’ve met the works too. As an american scholar says, “dont make the veil of a woman a veil between her and her God!”

I don’t think wearing the veil automatically makes a woman better than the non veiled, infact if the non veiled is more righteous and moral than she of course will be closer to God, and a piece of cloth cant change that.

I do think the hijab is beautiful, but hijab is also one that grows from your heart.

Great article. It was interesting seeing this side of the culture. As a Westerner, I have a lot to learn about the veil. I think it is interesting. On the other hand, I feel people should be able to wear what they want: veil or no.

I love your blog. And what you are saying is completely true. Its like you are speaking what is in my mind. I hate it when people judge me because I don’t and probably won’t ever cover up. At least I’m not a hypocrite about it. I can admit I am not a perfect Moslem and say Allah yihdeeni, but I dont’ go around acting holier than thou and judging people.
Hijab has lots it true meaning for a lot of people. Go the Middle East now. It’s become a fad. Since when does hijab wearing tight ass jeans with your thong showing? Uh yeah, thats how it is in Amman now.
Hijab is a package.
Keep blogging sis. It is great to see another fellow Palestinian like myself voicing her opinions and dont’ let those haters get to you. Opinions are like A%%holes, everyone has one :up:

I’m not sure if this story is true, but I heard of a girl who took off her veil in a party tightened around her waist and started billy dancing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this story is true, anything is possible nowadays.

There’s hypocrisy everywhere, weither it’s women wearing hijab or men with beards. I have soooo many stories about beards!!! I got into so many arguments, I just gave up.

@Mona
Another thing Mona, it’s not worth it for you to get upset, there is so much corruption around the world if you hear it all you’d go crazy. Ignore them they’re not worth it.

I don’t necessarily judge Muslims who drink. There are religious and non-religious among us all. It’s those Muslims who pretend they are more morally upright and better than those around them, and yet they don’t have any standards themselves.

Salaam,

Great post you got there! I myself have been wearing the veil since I was four, believe it or not and with the Islamic lectures I have listened about the benefits of it, I wear it for the right reason. To obey Allah and follow our beloved prophet’s Sunnah, Now the girls you talked about your post are few of 1000 Muslim women who wear it for their parent’s or husband’s sake. Alhamdulillah, I can’t never be like the as I hate doing anything for anybody’s sake or honor except for Allah and Islam. I just wish the parents and so call extremist husbands to let people do whatever they want to do and just advice them. And if they choose to go the wrong path, let Allah deal with them.

Anyhow, I wanted to answer your question about why Muslim men would walk in front of women. This Islamic tradition is from our beloved prophet Musa A.S.

The Prophet Musa / Moses never walked behind a lady – this was a sign of great respect. When he sat at the well and saw to the two sisters holding back their herd until he intervene on their behalf – one of the most noblest acts he did was when he was invited back to their fathers home, he told them to tell him where to go, and that they should follow behind him. Zipporah / Safoorah / Sephora and her sister noted this about his character to be different among men. Safoorah eventually married the Prophet Musa

The reason he did this act was so that he does not see their beauty and stare at their behind. However, as far as wives, I think they are doing it to protect their wives. I don’t know much about the Arab culture but we don’t do such thing. Allah knows best!

hijab is the single most obscene thing in islam, it is without any doubt a form of oppression against women. BUT no one has a right to deny it to them, and what is more troubling is that ALL of the anti hijab campaigns in the west are not directed toward the progress women. Ostensibly it is, but in the core of it, all this campaign is derived from anti arab and anti moslem hate , which is racism, so if they ban hijab, they should also ban the covering of orthodox Jewish women and crosses yamakas, and long beards and short dresses that shieks love to sport ( which is far more hideous thana hijab) in any case…. power to the Eves…

@Mona
i did show respect, if i didnt i would have voiced an opinion that they should ban it like they did in france, but i didnt say that. i said all religious symbols should be either banned together or allowed together. besides it is obscene. hijab does create a culture shock on these girls, who have to come to know they are different at a young age when they first wear it. i am sure you have seen some interesting samples at your local Muslim Student Association in your college years. some women have confidence when they wear it, but lets be honest, just like the conservative jews or evanglical christians,most the, have tons and tons of issues with them selves and the world….. besides in terms of beauty they look ninjas and walking tents who likes that ( and no that doesnt mean looking like slut is better either)

nasser :@Monabesides in terms of beauty they look ninjas and walking tents who likes that ( and no that doesnt mean looking like slut is better either)

No offense, but no men except the husband is supposed find a woman ‘sexy’ and one of the main reasons Hijab became part of Islam is that so our beauty is not displayed for unwanted attention and for a person who wants to have a future with us would love us for our character. And about the Hijab or any other religion symbols, I believe everyone should have the freedom to practice their religion and should feel safe from any harm while observing it. French people are behind and so I feel bad for people who live there. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion because I know a lot of men who will kill to be with a woman that looks like a tent walking as you call it…lol

”french people are behind”. Are you kidding me? Do you know how many muslims are residing in france, both residents and illegal immigrants?(who would cut a leg off to get residency)How are European countries are behind when most would die for a American or European passport. Or Australian, or New Zealand! However I dont see anyone from those countries begging for a passport from the middle east or east africa.

Second of all, I dont understand, if youre wearing a loose dress head to toe, how on earth would you see a womans behind/booty?

Lastly,.. Mona I had a few arab friends from back home that I had to stop talking to because everytime we hung out Id end up covering for their new boyfriend, they used to do the craziest shit I wouldnt even think of doing on my lowest day. I guess in the big scheme of things, none of these girls (or boys) really matter because they dont control the worlds media/politics/economy/ etc and theyll probably just waste their life working on their insecurities and issues.

I know some extreme religious people who aren’t really Christ-like but call themselves Christian. They have egged my house (adults in their 50s!), called child services on me, called my school and lied to the dean, had my utilities shut off. Why? Because they assume I am a “satanist”. Why do they assume that? Did they see me drinking blood on the full moon? Do little children disappear when they walk past my home? Nope. Their reason? I have two little pet rats in a cage, healthy, happy rats, and I won’t kill them. Where in the Bible does any God command anyone to kill anything? “Thou shalt not kill” doesn’t just mean humans.

who knows maybe there happy with that kind of husband

yup i would say i hope its not u but i know its not goin be u :up: p.s cool post
