Introduction
Prophet (S.A.W) said: “O women give charity because verily I saw that you comprised majority of people in Hellfire.”
Why would that be the case? Women in Islam are unlike women outside of Islam. It is an accepted fact. The sisters have to ask themselves if they are among those. Everything in this worldly life is almost unreal; most of us don’t remember what we did the previous week. Everything goes back, what we are left is with the life to come.
If a sister finds that she has a shortcoming and she is not according to the image of a Muslim woman, then don’t be depressed. You have to turn towards Allah.
When we address some issues to people, most of the resistance comes from the side of women. Allah told us in the Quran: “O you who have believed! Enter into Islam wholeheartedly.”
Silmi: means submission. Allah is asking to enter whole heartedly, don’t go fifty fifty or any other percentages; Allah further says not to follow the footsteps of Satan. Satan beautifies certain evil deeds. Allah commanded us and we are not wise than Allah. If we really want to have understanding of the Deen, Allah will help us Insha’Allah.
In the second verse, Allah says: “It is not for a believing man or believing woman after Allah and Prophet (S.A.W) have decided regarding a matter for that fear.”
Women in Islam:
Women in Islam are given some rights which none other religion on Earth has given. After a great deal of discussion and debates, Christians finally reached to a point that women are human beings; however, she has only been created to serve men. Before this, they believed that women are the devil and evil tempters. Islam freed humanity from this sexism. We should tell the people who spread propaganda about Islamic status of women that Islam wishes good for women in all matters.
Speaking of women, there is a character that men and women both need to possess; it was made part of Islam and Imaan by Prophet (S.A.W): Haya. It came out of the word Hayat meaning life. It means modesty and shame. According to Prophet (S.A.W), Haya is the innate character of Islam. Haya is the branch of Islam. He said in a Hadith that if you don’t have haya than do whatever you wish to do. Shyness prevents people from going into extremes.
Two Kinds Of Haya:
1. Good Haya: When one feels ashamed of Allah (SWT). This actually is Ehsaan towards Allah as you can see Him. It happens when anyone is in a state that they can disobey Allah but they hault from taking that action because they fear Allah, their disobedience as a result becomes minimum. Another kind of good modesty is with oneself, when one feels embarrassed with one’s own self when doing something bad. While the sins for hypocrites are just like a fly that sits on their nose and flies away.
2. Bad Haya: Today, people feel shy to obey Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W) because they want to please the people. They belittle the religious acts and abandon Allah and His Messenger (S.A.W).
Haya prevents the sisters from the following Violations:
1. Tabbaruj: The wanton display of beauty and ornaments, it’s like when women presenting themselves in a lustful and immoral manner.
2. Women should not talk to men in a manner that they become desirable for men (except their husbands). The pitch should be moderate. The voice of women is not an Awrah (something to be concealed).
3. Allah commands women not to go out of their houses for useless reasons. The way any woman walks, talks, moves her body: all indicate some signals towards men. Today, head, than it is only acceptable if you don’t put on any make-up. Any kind of make-up is unacceptable.some women cover their heads but their neck and bosoms are uncovered by the Hijab with their faces all full of make-up.
Anything that a sister puts on to display herself is called Tabarruj and it is a form of Jahiliyyah. if you still show your
4. The following Hadith tells us about Hijab:
“There are two kinds of people of the Hellfire which I have not observed during my lifetime, among them, there are women who are naked despite of being dressed (they are seducing themselves and seducing others), their heads are like humps of camels…” He said they shall not enter Paradise, so much so, that they won’t be able to smell the fragrance of Jannah. He said curse them for verily they are cursed.
Conditions of Hijab:
*Lets them protect their Private Parts.
*Lets them cover their adornment except what is revealed unintentionally. Hair and arms should be covered.There are some issues concerning the covering of face and feet. Jilbab should not be tightly fitted.
*Allah commanded women not to stamp their feet and walk softly.
*The objective of Hijab is to cover the sister, it should be simple and must be worn to please Allah (SWT).
*Jilbab should not be perfumed.
*Holy Prophet (S.A.W) cursed the women who dressed like men.
*Allah and Prophet (S.A.W) cursed the women who pluck their eyebrows or gets their bodyparts tattooed.
Forbidden Acts:
*Men and women mixing freely at parties.
*Putting up your pictures on social netwroking websites. Do not put pictures even in Hijab. Just remove your own pictures.
“Allah is Beautiful and he loves Beauty. Thus sisters, you are allowed to adorn yourself in the gatherings where there are only women and you ordain the limits of Allah.”
