Alsalam 'alaykom
first I would like to welcome both our sister djana, and brother alfarouk, being new members, hoping they will always join us on the board.
And jazzakum Allah khayr brothers for your beneficial posts.
But I want to ask our sister djana, being a muslim means that she says :
ASHADU AN LA ILAHA ILA ALLAH WA ASHADU AN MUHAMADDAN RASOOL ALLAH
What do u think this means sister, being a true muslim ? it means abiding to every word that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed in the Quran, and also to every word that our prophet has said. Only then we will be true muslims. If u think that any of what Allah the exalted has ordered is not necessary, or why we do it, then u will be in the stage of hyppocrites sister, and we would not want this for u do we ?
Read this aya and think :
Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem :
30. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what they do.
31. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful. 24, Al-Noor
and also :
Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem :
58. And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear on themselves the crime of slander and plain sin.
59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allâh is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.
So as u c sister this is a straight order from our creator, before knowing why we should be veiled why should we cover ourselves, we must as muslims abide to our lord, by saying Yes we hear and we abide, because it is the word of Allah, it is his order. Then what will differinciate u from a non muslim, it is because they left thier relegion and because they are living only for sensous needs that they have reached to such a low and corrupt behaviour , and because their relegion was corrupted, u find they have no high morals whatsoever, but ours was not because It was preserved by Allah subhanahu wa tala'. So u as a Muslimah, which way do u want to choose, abiding by the word of Allah or walking by the path of those who have lost their relegion and morals. djana, our relegion is great it is the best, and if we leave it and deny what our creator ordered us to do, then we will lose both our life in this world and our life in the hereafter. Can't u c what is happening to the muslims all over, why are they lost why are they divided, because they lost their faith, they do not listen to the word of Allah, they follow the europeans and americans corrupt morals and policies, we will not become again that great Ummah or nation, until u and all the young muslim youth that has been corrupted by foreign and western media return to their deen, to their faith. Omar Ibn Al-Khatab has said : We are a nation that was glorified by Islam, and once we chose another beleif other than it then Allah will disgrace us. So what will it be for u Glory or disgrace.
Djana read more Quran, read more ahadeeth, don't be just a muslim by name, but be a true muslim.
Al-farouk did not mean to offend u nor did I, nor did any1 on this board, we are trying to help u to open your eyes on the right path, and to c how your relegion is a great relegion that was not changed for 1425 years. People changed but the Quran never.
