In the Name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit - One God - now & forever. Amen.
May the peace of Christ be with you!
Wael, first of all I'd just like to thank you for spending so much time attending to my posts. It's not easy putting up with me, I know :) I admire you & consider you to be a friend.
Okay! Enough with the mushy stuff :blush: let's get down to business!!!
Quote:The reason for veiling is explained here from a catholic view point:
Proper Dress and Behavior for Catholic Women
That is an EXCELLENT website! I highly recommend it! I just wish you wouldn't pick & chose quotes. You ned to read it all in context. It confirms my position perfectly. Since we're picking & choosing, I'll select my highlights :D
The moral law requires all women to wear the veil on their hearts.
A woman should <b>not</b> wear the veil on her head, <b>until</b> she is wearing it first on her heart. (the author used bold not me)
Women who wear the veil on their hearts are imitating the Virgin Mary in her humility, submissiveness, and obedience to Christ.
The veil should cover her head, but not her face. It is first and foremost symbolic of humility, submissiveness and obedience.
Wow! I'd like for nothing more than to reach for a veil & put it over my head right this instance but I don't feel as though I'm worthy enough for it.
I love my religion so much & I know you love yours. Alhamdulilah! There's no point in comparing or competeing. Let's just try to be the best Catholics/Muslims we can be & pray for each other.
May God bless all Muslims & Christians who strive to please God/Allah (SWT).
