Quote: Bottom line is that if I were to cover up here, I would be a social outcast. No man would ever marry me. We are moderate and modern muslims.
That's a shame hearing you say this...may Allah guide you.
Someone coming from Bosnia it does surprise me to hear such remarks from you. I would have thought after the attrocities by the serbs you would've realised that the only thing to save and go back to is Islam.
You must feel proud being a moderate and modern muslim after the attacks by the Serbs on muslim women. The muslim women were not wearing hijaabs but were still targetted because they were muslim, regardless if they were good or bad muslims.
What is it you are trying to say when you mention modern muslims? Are those women who cover like the wives of the Prophet (saw) backwards?
Are the wives of the Prophet (SAW) not modern if they were here today or would they be classed as backwards?
I suppose the woman who shows more of her body is modern and liberated...that's what the Arabs before Islam thought too!
So to refer to muslims by these terms is very dangerous if we understood their implications.
As for this modern and moderate muslim issue, this is not from muslims nor Islam itself but from the kufaar (non-muslims) who are very good at putting labels on muslims. The non-muslims have created a religion called Moderate Islam, this is a new religion and not what Rasool (saw) bought. This is because moderate means to leave parts of the quran and sunnah and to compromise on our belief...the more we hold tight to the rope of Allah (SWT) the more happiness we will receive in this life and the next inshallah.
