If you want to wear Hijab

    Then wear it!

    If you don't want to wear it. Then DON'T

    But walking around THINKING that you're wearing Hijab when half your bust is showing, and I can clearly read tattoo on your lower back while walking like you're god's gift to this earth and worse, judging other women who are not wearing it as being sluts, is ... what's the word... Ghrrr ... I can't write it on my blog!

    You know something? No one on the face of this planet knows where they will land in the afterlife. No one! We as humans (regardless of our religions or lack of) have a moral obligation to be the best we can be. (Who obligated us? God, and if you don't believe in God, consider it Natural selection)

    This being "good" drive defines how we deal with people, and how we see ourselves. It also shapes how we project our self (Id, Ego and Superego if you want to get technical), this being "good" comes in so many shapes and sizes. From educational excellence to following moral codes to abiding by the law to adhering to religion, to every behavior that we see. Even if the choice for that behavior was only clear at the subconscious level.

    We might come to good terms with what we feel. We might start feeling that we're doing everything and therefore we expect the promised rewards, or what I will call "A shallow understanding of religion (or any moral code for that matter)".

    There is no reward for telling the truth! You're not going to suddenly win the lottery, and your life is not going to suddenly become fantastic without a single problem for a few kind acts that you have done. But here's what will cause you to feel more depressed, anything you do, and everything that you might do, no matter how great, is not a guarantee that you will be rewarded, now or in the afterlife (IF you believe in the afterlife)

    Consequently, being "religious" doesn't make one better than other people. Wearing Hijab doesn't make one more religious, or more modest in dressing. Wearing Hijab provocatively is an insult to Hijab to begin with, so if someone really doesn't want to wear it. She shouldn't. For god's sake, DO NOT WEAR THE HIJAB if you don't want to wear it.

    And to think that somehow magically because you're wearing what you "think" is Hijab would give you a license to start judging other women as being sluts or going to hell is beyond arrogance. It's beyond stupidity, it's sick!

    In fact, even if you were wearing Hijab properly... That still doesn't give you the right to judge people and condemn them like that!

    We all judge. I'm the first one to do so. But I don't judge based on looks or behavior and I most certainly don't say people are going to land in hell (except Atheists, but that's a running joke between me and Hani Oaid, whom I miss dearly)

    I guess I'm just frustrated, no make that "disappointed" in people, they pray for couple of days, and then they turn to you and start patronizing and preaching you ... Like they just graduated from Al Azhar!

    And for those "thinking" they're wearing Hijab, your cloths are not office safe... Some strippers cover up more in their off hours.

    "I can clearly read tattoo on your lower back while walking like you're god's gift to this earth and worse, judging other women who are not wearing at as sluts, is ... what's the word... Ghrrr"

    do you know her? have you talked to her? what if she doesn't judge other women as sluts? why it is that the assumption that hijabis judge other women's dressing codes? not that i am saying that human beings don't fall in the pits of judging others for the mere fact that they are "others," but why is it that you act as if you've gone into this woman's head in particular to assume she judges other women??
    dressing the way she pleases, with or without hijab, is her business...criticize that as you like since at least you measure according to what's manifested before your sight, but really, how did you get to judge what's in her head?  :)

    And that is exactly why I don't wear it :D lol, I don't want to look like I've been forced to. Until I could be up to the challenge, I'll keep strengthening my religious knowledge in hope it sheds more faith on me.  

    I love the new hijabi trends of tights and miniskirts :D LOL

    hijab ideally should be taken as the acceptance of a divine order, no more nor less. it's just another Islamic practice like praying, fasting Ramadan,... etc. With that comes a baggage of ethics/a'7la2 that one should automatically conform to. However, hijabis who judge other girls for not donning a piece of cloth on their heads, totally miss the point of wearing it.. they're just like people who pray but still do judge others for not praying, not fasting, or whatever lacking element (one assumes) they have.. got my point? it's just that nobody is holier than another.
    The problem here is being hypercritical, which fits the theme of your post way better. maybe you should have explored it as becoming a popular universal "virtue" among people.
    Anyway, whether a girl wears a hijab for whatever reason, be it a declaration of identity or being pressured by family, husband, society or whoever, that's another issue-- it's just like a guy who goes to Jum3a prayer just to please the critical piercing eyes and tongues of his practicing/conservative social circle.

    shukran :)

    Nice read Qwaider :)
    I like what you wrote. Many religious people can not understand your point because they believe in Heaven and Hell more than in God himself. I mean they do good just to get to heaven, or just not to go to hell, not because God says so, and not because he knows better. so when a person becomes freaked with the idea of heaven and hell, she/he starts to calculate, and make sure that the good they do is bit more than the bad. and if their definition of good and bad is being applied we get the sweet cute community we live with these days.

    I have to comment as you talked about this..
    Originally the hijab is not only to cover the hair. But to make the Muslim women as distinct from the rest of the women in the world ;) and 2 keep hr away from suspicion
    When the Muslim women cover her hair. she must wear clothes that are complemented by a Muslim woman!

    I want to say "some not all girls" wearing hijab to draw attention!! Thats about it 3shan el moda hek sart :S
    Some wear strange styles of the hejab that attract even more attention than of those wearing short skirts!!

    hijab and the tattoo doesnt match at all :D but maybe she just become a muslma or someting i dont know gime a break!

    This is one of those issues that compels me to comment.

    What I want to know is why do some people who believe that the hijab is not a "religious obligation" but is a "personal choice" care about the rules and regulations as to the proper way to convey the "hijab"?

    The mere fact that some Muslims belittle the hijab by stating that it is not a religious obligation questions their belief in Islam. The question here is "Are you a practicing Muslim or not". Practicing Muslims dont get to choose and/or expel which aspects in religion to follow.
    You either do it the right way or don't do it at all. Does that sound "extreme"....well, that's how I see it.

    This is exactly how Christian women stopped covering their heads, because they also started to "believe that covering was a personal choice"

    Oh, and please dont give me the "different times call for different measures" *%(*, cuz we all know that doesn't apply to religion. Only God has the luxury of determining what is to be changed within our beliefs, not humans.


    I see when this is coming from someone who understands the importance or significance of the hijab, but seriously, why does everyone else care? If you don't believe that hijab is an obligation, why would you care how it's being conveyed in the first place.

    Eman,
    I don't think I am in a position to question anyone's belief, regardless of how or IF they wear Hijab. But, I do firmly believe that there is no coercion in Islam and that goes for Hijab as will. If people are forced into a religious ritual it loses all its value
    So yes, wearing Hijab is a choice, just like praying, just like fasting. But people who want to abide by what Islam says, ought to respect and follow. But it is a matter of choice, and should always be like that.

    And who said you can't choose in Islam? If the prophet himself used to say: ما خيّر بين امرين كلاهما حلال الا اختار اسهلهما
    Which means there is always choice, people "should" but there shouldn't be any coercion in this matter.

    I care for two reasons,
    First because this is a misrepresentation of what Hijab is
    Second, because no one, is in a position to patronize other people [because of] the way they dress.

    But most importantly, I have the right to have my opinion about things.

    Like you said "كلاهما حلال"
    What exactly does that mean? You choose from 2 "7alal" choices.
    If you can please tell me where in the Quran or Hadith, it states that hijab is given to Muslims as a choice, I will understand your arguement.

    We are talking about Islam and Muslims. What I dont understand is why some Muslims consider "hijab" a choice. How is it logic that God gave us a choice to either cover up and dress modestly or not? When you actually think about it on a deeper level, you cant help but ask yourself, why would a modest Muslim woman choose not to wear hijab? Why are they against the hijab? Why is it so important to them to show their hair and their body features? What is so unacceptable about wearing hijab when you know that Islam preaches modesty? Why do they want to prove to the world that hijab is not an obligation when in fact it is?

    I'm not here to tell people what or how to dress, what I'm saying is that if you choose to practice Islam, you abide by it's laws, otherwise you can wear whatever you please.

    Eman,
    Everything is a choice. Faith is a choice, following the law is a choice. Everything is a choice. People choose to follow a set of laws or guidelines. OR not... It's their choice

    By the way, if someone commits a sin (like not wearing Hijab), that doesn't automatically damn them to hell. In fact, we really don't know. But I think the sin is greater when a person misrepresents that Hijab… Way worse!

    Lets just agree to disagree, cuz we are going to keep going in circles about this issue.

    I justed wanted to point out that if you choose not to wear hijab, dont judge those who do, because you obviously dont respect the concept enough to make the choice and wear it. (this is "obviously" addressing the females)

    Now I see why you're not getting this. You're getting it the other way around. I'm not judging people who wear Hijab. I'm criticizing people who think that by wearing Hijab, they think they have the moral high ground. And you got the whole thing backward!
    As for me respecting the concept, I don't think you're at a position to say that, you have no right, nor is it "obvious".
    I do support and encourage it. But that's it. I don't pass judgment on people who don't wear it, or do. And I would never engage in any coercion against any woman into wearing it. I find it to be their choice and if they decide -either way- they shouldn't "think" they're better than anyone else for doing so
    I think it's time for your chill pill by the way...

    lol...........I cant help but laugh about this. Why are you so determined to have the last word.

    We all are entitled to our opinions, right? Why is it that I don't get that privilege?

    I stand for my beliefs and opinions. I never passed judgment on anyone, nor did I say that I was better than anyone.

    The chill pill applies to you too, so lighten up and try to accept people's beliefs and opinions without discrimination.

    Mini skirts and tights are not an islamic code of dressing nor modesty. Anyone wearing them needs to look at the modesty code, and the choice to wear hijab it's their choice as long as your modest too and that doesn't mean hijab and mini skirts, what's the point!

    the thing i wanna know is does the hijab even count if  muslim girl wears it and doesnt like having it on . if she always thinks of just taking it off but at the same time feels really bad because she knows its wrong . im not sure because on one hand allah knows whats in the heart and intentions . but then again you supposedly get 7asanat everytime someone sees you wearing it . so i dont know if that still counts . another thing is say someone wearing the hijab wears tight short clothes and makeup . does that totally cancel out the fact you have a hijab on your head ? doesnt it reduce it to just a garment covering your hair ? if you feel like your being forced to wear it does it even freaken count ?! im pretty sure anyone reading this is probably going to judge me . but i dont care . i wouldnt ask if i didnt need answers :( .

    Thanks Lamece
    Prophet Mohammad said, "Innama al a3mal bilniyyat" (Actions are counted based on intentions"
    Now with that said, god only knows these intentions and rewards people as he so wishes. We are only human and have no idea how god will reward anyone.
