X.playa it's obvious you do not believe in Islam or the prophet (Pbuh), and there is nothing wrong with that as long as you do not insult the religion of the majority of this site. so plz worship stonnes or cows if you like but do not come in here disrespecting our prophet.
Now back to the issue of hijaab:
The revival of islam has led many women particularly younnger and educated
women into wearing hijab.Though some countries are discouraging this trend through secular media,others have gone as far as to ban it by the
force of law-at least from government offices and public areas.
The media in the West has turned its propaganda machine to label this revival to wear hijab as islamic fundamentalism. Islam has no concept of
fundamentalism as propagated by West media and hijab is not a part of it.
Hijab is part of an obligatory requirement made on muslim women by an overall Divine commandment towards guarding their modesty and chastity.One
interpretation of what constitutes modesty of dress is long skirt,loose coat and head scarf. This is minimum requirement. The other is full covering including the face.
Modesty in dress in public has profound social,cultural and spiritual
significance. it is of the basic injunctions of Islam on the principle that
prevention is better than care,specially in areas of moral decay of society.
Many Qur anic`injunctions are on this basis and with this objective in mind. They have been further supplemented by the Prophets
sunnah. It is also one of the reasons among others for the muslim's claim that if Islamic principles are applied many evils of modern societies such as aids,alcoholism,ruin through gambling,mental disease and discontent,breakdown of family life and sexual perversion can be
substantially reduced and some cases eliminated.
Why has Islam made wearing of hijab by muslim women compulsory while the present day christian society accepts women's nakedness as a matter of routine? Is the god of muslims backward? Such questions do perplex many minds particularly young muslim minds. What follows is an
attempt to provide some answers.
Many societies in the past have observed standards of decent conduct in segregating women.They took steps to protect the virtue and honour their women folk through proper clothing. The also prevented irregular meeting and
mixing of sexes.
Most christian women of the past wore some form of hijab Religious and other paintings of the past show women including the virgin mary wearing some form of head cover.women can still be seen wearing head cover in the
rural areas of Eastern Europe.Over the centuries the Catholics and other churches have been dispensing new rules,chopping and changing others to suit the vagaries of taste,time and fashion.
The church is man -controlled with ever changing man made-rules.With the
separation of church from government and rapid decline in morality these
rules became more lax to deal with moral and social problems of christians
in particular and mankind in general.
There is nothing old fashioned about basic morality and decency. Such values
are everlasting.
Islamic rules on all basic issues, particularly social and moral issues, are
Divine rules.unlike human wisdom,Divine wisdom does not change from time to
time,place to place by its very definition.
The basic laws, commandments and rules given to Muhammad(PBUH) fourteen hundred years ago were applicable then,are applicable now and will remain applicable till end of the world.
God Bless
