The dress Hijab and the background to its origin
The word hijab is an adjective that refers to the curtain that hung in the room where the women stayed among those who came to the house of the Prophet Muhammad. Later it became a women’s team. As far as the Qur’an is concerned, it is mentioned that this term was used to refer only to the women of the Prophet.. says it doesn’t apply to all women Aslan Reza (Not god but god C2005) PP65 – 6.
)n an unprecedented move, hundreds of religious women began to speak up against compulsory hijab online. Even some conservative figures, including members of parliament, began criticizing the law and the police force, saying that it has harmed public attitudes toward the hijab and religion in general.
Online and international reaction.
In fact, the wearing of the hijab is a post-1970 practice, before which the hijab was not enforced in most Islamic countries. “Sheikh Mustafa Mohammad Rasheed,” argues that the hijab is not an Islamic obligation. He says that hijab refers to the covering of the head, which is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. He says that the hijab has been abandoned from the point of view of Islamic law and Sahih Altafsir’s authentic interpretation. Mohamed Rashed says infect reject reason and rely only on literal text. Change the context of the verses of the Quran. According to some ancient scholars, these are not subject to hijab.
The term hijab was introduced to create a gap between the wives of the Prophet and the companions of the Prophet. Rashid says. Bouthaina Shaaban has held the Same belief 3 Those who follow the prophets and wear hijab are not subject to God’s will”.
He says Islamic Women’s Expert NIKKle kettle Nowhere does the Qur’an refer to women covering their hair. He said. Al-Qur’an 24:31 says, “Tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts.” This does not mean that women’s hair or face should be mutilated Tell the girls and women of the believers to lower the hem of their cloaks so that they will not abuse. Mustafa Rashid says that the verse is found. He rejects the hadith reported by Abu Dawood.
A statement published by Al Azhar University said in June 2011, the hijab is not an Islamic obligation.
Demands and protests against the hijab began to emerge in the late 70s. 1979 overthrew one of the most visible pillars of Islamic law governing the country.
“Those who do not follow the Islamic dress code will no longer be taken to detention centers and judicial cases will not be registered against them,” city police chief General Hossein Rahimi said at the time.
When Labna Mulla says
Born into conservative but open-minded families in the 1960s (Hala in Egypt and Azra in India), we grew up without the command to cover our hair. But starting in the 1980s, following the 1979 Iranian revolution by minority Shiites and the rise of well-funded Saudi clerics from the majority Sunni sect, we were bullied into trying to hide our hair from men and boys. . Women and girls who are sometimes referred to as “activists” and “women who represent Muslim women” go a step further and refer to women wearing skinny jeans as “hijabis”, making fun of women who are considered inappropriate to wear the hijab. hijabis use a vague term for “harlots.”
I am in a dilemma and I need you to help me put things into perspective. Hijab Fart or not is an age-old question! I have been wearing a hijab for many years. I have always believed that the ayah (verse) in Surat An-Nissa (Qur’an 4) is a personal choice that women make and can be interpreted in many ways, but I am always afraid not to wear a hijab. An old Egyptian sheik (scholar) scared me in my youth, saying that women would hang their hair in hellfire, and that’s how I decided to wear the hijab. We have raised 3 boys ages 23, 21, and 14.
I am struggling with this! But on the other hand, I’ve been doing it for so long. I know many ladies that have taken off their hijab and the majority have no regrets and are okay with their decision. So a part of me is okay with taking it off and another part is not! Please help!
