I have decide to write a small and quick
article concerning the issue of Women.
Modest clothing Vs Immodest clothing.
In this country Many Women believe that a
women being attacked has NOTHING to do with the way she is
dressed. I personally believe that; that is not true. Imagine
this:
2 Women are walking down the street, one is
dressed in a mini-skirt and halter top and the other is
dressed like me, Hijaab, Niqaab, and Jilbaab. (Head covering,
face covering and complete body covering.) There is an
attacker walking behind us. Which woman will he choose? Me?
who looks like a tent walking? Or, the other one who is
dressed skimpy Of course the one who is dressed skimpy,
because she is easier and more attracting to him.
I believe that it is of course the attackers
fault, because he could control himself and get help for
whatever problem he may have, at the same time, we as Women
should do EVERYTHING we can to protect ourselves and ask Allah
Subhana'wa ta'aala to keep us safe and protected. Maybe we
should be able to walk out of our houses cloth-less without
worrying about men attacking us or looking us up and down like
pieces of meat, but we cant. After Adam and Huwa (Adam and
Eve) all that changed. That is one of the reasons why we as
Muslim Women cover, is to protect our bodies from unwanted
stares and attacks.
There will always be that possibly of
getting attacked, even with being covered from head to toe.
But now; WE as Women have done EVERYTHING possible to ensure
this from happening, by covering up, not talking to a man we
are not married or who is not our relative (non-mahrams),
except for business, dawah (spreading Islaam) or marriage, not
being alone with a non-mahram man, not going out day/night
except with a Mahram (husband, Brother, Father etc.if you can
manage this..), and whatever other sensible things you can
think of. Of course we are supposed to depend completely on
Allah ta'aala, though we must still tie our camel and do
everything He tell us too do that is humanly possible.
Insha'Allah I hope and pray I have not
offended anyone,
Barak'Allah (May the blessing of Allah be
upon you) for reading
this small article Insha'Allah Ameen!
