I find it odd, when I see hijabis but they are wearing tight tops and skinny jeans.
I dont know if you're like this or if you have friends who dress this way.
But why do you/they?
I have nothing against how people dress, because I dont wear the hijab etc

but it is like, why wear the hijaab and be modestly dressed only from the head?

:salamext: Allah knows best their intentions and what is in their hearts brother so lets leave it at that Insha'Allah.

Looking at a previous thread of yours it seems you are very judgemental and critical of people (Jalebi thread), maybe you need to concentrate on your OWN Imaan rather than on others. Allah ma'3k. :w:

just a few things to say here.

i wear the hijab and inshallah i believe that i wear it well. i do not wear an abayah and could probably hit it up a notch...but i do not wear pants and i do not wear tight tops and i do my hijab quite large so it covers...

that being said...i must draw attention to a few things. firstly, this thread is highly offensive on the brothers behalf...the comments made by the brothers are so off whack!!! u need to sit back and think for a second abt sisters and what they go thru.

no im no feminist, leftist, home coming rookie, or anything...

the biggest struggle for guys is what??? yeah u guessed it...no need to mention...

the biggest struggle for chicks is the same hardness..but in terms of covering beauty...hiding what uve got...

the number of times ive looked in the mirror when im at hm and just said " i wish i could just show everyone" is countless...

the number of times i have been sworn at for my scarf on busy roads next to twenty other uni students waiting for a bus is countless...

the number of times i have gone shopping and found nothing decent to wear is countless...

the number of times i have stopped to have a rest due to how hot it is and how stuffy it is when u cant even feel wind on ur neck and wrists and feet is countless...

the number of times i have ran out to get the mail or throw out the trash without a hijab on at like 12am just to 'see how it feels' is countless...

the number of times i have wanted to scream out to people that 'i am just like u..dnt gimme looks or ignore me' is countless...

the number of times i have watched tv or gone shopping and said "i wish i could wear that" is countless...

the number of times a brother has walked past me and put his head down, the i saw him with non muslim chiks hanging out is countless...

u guys are so anal.think abt the day and age we live in.think about what women and young girls struggle with...IT IS THE HARDEST THING FOR A GIRLS NAFS!!! insteading of dissing em why not lift ur head,,,acknowldge them for being strong ENUF to even consider putting it on...say ur salams so they dnt feel like they are even alienated from muslim guys as well...and if u see something 'wrong' pray in ur head and heart... that Allah makes this challenge an easy one...and that their imaan grows...

No it isn't my job cause if i don't know the person i won't say anything as obviously they will just start arguing with me and stuff... if it was my homie or blad then obviously i will tell them to do what is right and leave whats bad but as mine are all Christains i can't do anything about that :exhausted. If it was my Muslim friend then ya i will tell her and stuff but i would certainly not go around local and tell people to wear neat clothes and stuff...there 'rents should do that! ... Also remember one thing... im sure as a muslim they know whats good and what aint so they will be judged on day of Judgment init.

Like i said leave it to Allaah and forget the backbitting man!

I think they want to do good but are confused on how to do good. They have not really found their Identity and are in pschopsycho Moratorium = experimenting with different identities to find an identity. Trying to mainly set themselves apart from the real conservative dress or thier parents (if they dress in a modest way). This stage is accepted amongst males in liberal families but not with females. May Allah (swt) guide them.

I agree with Isma'el, u as a muslim should/could give naseeha if you see someone doing something which isnt Islamic. Its a naseeha, the person whom ure giving naseeha to should not be angry cause the other does it for the sake of Allah. (insha Allah) But giving naseeha must be done in a certain way, not in a harsh, shamefull way.

Narrated by Imaam Muslim in his Saheeh which he attributes to the Prophet salla Allahu 'alaihi wassalam: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.”

wa Allahu a3lam.

I was going to post this earlier, but I didn’t have the time to so…

I feel the same way sometimes. It's harder for us Muslimahs who do cover up to see sisters not completely dressed in an Islamic manner because we could be judged as a majority because of a few individuals. There have been many times, because of other Muslimah individuals, where I was asked by nonMuslims "Why don't you wear makeup and regular clothes like the other girls that wear that thing?" and upon explaining they say "Oh, I was about to say! So why do they even wear it? It loses its point." And I think, Subhanallah, if I never had explained it, I or another sister would have been judged differently. Like I say, sometimes you may be the only Islam someone may witness.

I will not defend the publicity of what some sisters portray, because as a Muslim, I'm not allowed to do that, I judge by what I can clearly see and Allah is the Judge of their true intentions. That by no way means that I treat them in a mean way or anything, but I do ask Allah subhana wa ta'ala for their guidance and I always encourage sisters to wear it explaining the benefits. I will also say that sisters who are trying hard to change, or to raise their iman a bit higher, it shows--it shows a lot, even if they aren't dressed Islamically. There's modesty, humbleness, islamic mannerism, quest for knowledge, and many other qualities that define a Muslimah, it isn't just in her hijaab. Hijaab is just a uniform, to what benefit is the hijaab without the Islamic qualities?

In ayah 34 in Surah Nur, Allah subhana wa ta'ala says in order:
And tell the believing women...

1. To lower the gaze;
2. Guard your modesty;
3. To keep from displaying any ornaments, other than what may appear thereof;
4. and to cover themselves in the presence of a nonMahrem

I think there is a reasoning behind the order of that ayah. If a woman lowers her gaze, she will build modesty in herself, and moreso if she continues by putting that modesty in practice by preventing any attention to herself, then she will then WANT to cover herself naturally, without any influences except that within herself. Imagine! A sister who will do something completely for the sake of Allah and stick through it without any doubt of removing it because she thinks she will look unattractive or be unjustly judged, Allahu Akbar!

That is how some sisters that wear the hijaab, update to a niqaab and cover even their face and hands. If you can get 3/4ths of that Ayah into practice, there's no doubt a sister won't be able to wear the full hijaab with ease. Shyness is one of the strongest feelings that prevents a human being to do a lot, even if the entire world is against his/her judgement.

Just a reminder before people start attacking the brother for this thread,

I find it odd, when I see hijabis but they are wearing tight tops and skinny jeans.

I have nothing against how people dress, because I dont wear the hijab etc

but it is like, why wear the hijaab and be modestly dressed only from the head?
He didn't even give a bad judgment, rather he just opened up an important topic to be discussed. I think if more brothers encouraged sisters to wear the hijaab, and acted upon that encouragement by lowering their gazes, defending them when ridiculed, and supporting them, there would be a lot more sisters who would wear the hijaab. It may sound weird, but some are just waiting for encouragement and guidance--from the brothers. But sadly, some sisters easily attack brothers for trying to do that too saying "It's none of your business, I'll wear what I want, this is between me and Allah! You don’t know how hard it is to even be this far…etc" No sisters, it is his business, he's a brother fillah, and his word is valid as a concerned and obeying Muslim. We shouldn’t send mixed signals, so inshallah do not discourage them, even if they may be harsh in their tone, because we need more like them!

Just the same though, sisters shouldn't always expect to be praised for doing something obligatory, this is a duty to Allah subhana wa ta'ala, meaning its worthy enough to be rewarded and blessed enough to have a major benefit. So why pass it up?

Personally, I don't like to see women dressed like that with hijab, fitted clothes and hijab that shows off the ears and some hair. They are the ones who turn away instead of giving me salams. It doesn't make sense dressing like that, because they show off what they got and make the men sin.
I dress as modestly as I can, and I get comment from guys more than the non muslim girls would. Some guys actually prefer a woman modestly dressed. My non muslim friend once told me her non muslim guy friend said he liked the 'mystery' in muslim women.
But anyways.. women who dress like that with hijab, probably doesn't know what is better for them. May Allah swt guide them to what is right.

ok...now i feel really sorry for u.May Allah guide you...did u even read my whole post?

i see bros who turn away from us...then go and chat up with other girls...why not say salams to us...? i didnt say check us out and propose...^o)

then again..i dnt think us sisters need ur sympathy or empathy...or salam for that matter.u seem happi in ur own state.inconsiderate 'brothers' like u think they are doing what islam says...but if they just looked at sunnah of our prophet (saw) they would see how truly mistaken they are.

sis you either do things the right way or you don't do it at all. Yes there are sisters trying, but there is no excuse for wearing skinny jenas when u can find regular fit jeans, and nowdays tehre are bare long dresses out and even long coats so teher is no need to wear two tight layers of t-shirts. And to save all this trouble, the best of them all is the jilbab.

ppl's actions should never make you feel ashamed or regretfull to the decsisions you have made in your life. I guess if your intentions are strong and your decisions are firm, then none of these mentioned issues of yours should bother any sister.

the point of my post has nothing to do with what u are saying.yes. nothing constitues wearning of tight jeans etc with hijab...nothing ever will.this is so wrong.but u say you either do it right, or not at all.that is just plain wrong...but im sure u didnt mean it the way it sounds coz no sister in the rite mind would mean it the way it sounds.

besides that.my post was merely trying to illuminate the internal and external struggles sisters go thru.i took on a first person stance..but i spoke generally. WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT THE HIJAB GOES AGAINST THE FITRAH OF GIRLS!!!!!!!

nothing more...nothing less....

it is hard to wear it.it is a struggle.BUT ITS MEANT TO BE!!!! IT IS FOR ALLAH!!!! IT IS FOR ISLAM!!!

noone is feeling shame here.noones intentions arent strong...wht are u saying? its jst plain english black and white...it is hard on the nafs.it goes agains female nature and instinct.so its hard ...su kodos to the sisters who can wear it.kudos to the sisters who are trying and developing.and kudos to the sisters who want to but really cant grasp it yet.

and to all the anal brothers my point was FEEL SOME SYMPATHY AND EMPATHY!!!

jeeeeezzzz people.

hmmm...regardless of the fact that "chill x" implies nothing to me...ur rite.i shudnt argue.but that wasnt my point.i was rebutting ppl who think that i am a weak lil sis who doesnt understand the true meaning of the hijab due to their lack of understanding.maybe its my lack of expression...but the odds are against em.

:salamext: It's no one's place to judge, only Allah has the right to because we don't know what lies in their hearts. Yaa muslimeen, you shouldn't be so quick to judge, just make Du'ah for them and ask that Allah strengthen their imaan so that they can start wearing less form-fitting clothes. Just before Ramadan, I was one of those sisters who wore the hijab with jeans and I honestly see nothing wrong with it, but I always used to be on attack and defense mode whenever people tried to give me Dawah about being more modest. I thought, are they implying that I'm immodest? Who are they to judge me? But alhamdulilah, I read ayahs in the Quraan on how chaste women are supposed to dress (as well as surrounding myself with 3ilm) and I've changed my ways ever since. In essence, the way you're going about giving Dawah isn't the best way. Harshness in Dawah could actually have bad implications. I suggest you try and be a little more nicer. You see, no one's judging you because as you've said -- "I have nothing against how people dress, because I dont wear the hijab etc '' -- and I really have no idea what that means (seeing as how you're a brother) :D, but you just came off a tad hypocritical. Judge yourself, before judging others. :) :thankyou:

In my opinion I belief the lack of modesty in some sisters has to do with their iman. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Haya (modesty) is part of faith. When someone’s iman decreases so does their modesty. I know this first hand. The solution I belief is to help this sisters with their faith and educate them more on the teachings of Islam like telling them about the requirements of hijab. It won’t be an easy task, some might listen to what you have to say while others won’t. The main point is to let them know and be patient.
One more thing, lets not judge those sisters, at least they are wearing the hijab. Wouldn't it be worse if they did not, people would not even know if they were muslim. Like one sister said it is hard to wear the hijab in this kind of society and it takes lots of courage and strength to be different from the people. Before, I never used to wear the hijab probably and I too wore tight clothes, it was hard for me to start wearing the hijab because I cared a lot about what people thought of me, especially at school. It is only through Allah’s help and a pious sister advice that I started to wear hijab. This sister never criticized nor alienated me. She made sure that I always came over to her house after school and then she would tell me about Islam. It was because of her I started to love Islam and I wanted to please to Allah. Because of her encouragement my friend and I decided to try on the hijab for a week as a challenge. Since that day we have not taken it off. During that time the rest of my clothes stayed the same. It was after a while that I gave up wearing tight clothes and substituted them with loose fitting ones. Dressing Islamically takes time. Some sisters do it quickly while for others it is a step by step process. I belief this sisters took their first step by wearing the hijab, we need to give them more time to take the other steps. Insha Allah, Allah will guide them. As for now we need to do our part and leave the rest to Allah.

Assalama Alaykum.

good say is...mashallah..

i think what some girls do is grow from the inside to the outside...they develop and then they wear it...some sisters grow from the outside in..they wear it and then develop accordingly.

peace.

I will have to agree with most of your points. As much as I hate to take the side of those sisters, we all know how hard it is to portray yourself as a muslim in the west. Its a pity to see how these non muslims, out of their sheer ignorance, make fun of the hijabis. I guess its a slow process and it takes a while for both a brother and a sister to understand things better. perhaps its a little easier for the brothers as the changes a brother undergoes is far less than what a sister has to go through.

I guess its mostly teenagers and folks in their 20s who do such things. There might be several factors leading to their such behavior, most of which comes from their weak iman. This is where having an islamic environment helps a lot. Like this sister, I would assume most of others change in course of time as well!

I read in one of the posts that you either do something or dont do that at all. I will have to disagree with that. If this logic applies to our daily salat, we could all perhaps stop praying until we have the perfect Khushu, but thats not what is recommended in Islam. You pray everyday and that in turn will lead to better Khushu insha'Allah.

Lastly we must remember that when we advice we need to be as gentle as possible. If we are harsh, it may so happen that our advice may not be taken at all!

Narrated by Imaam Muslim in his Saheeh which he attributes to the Prophet salla Allahu 'alaihi wassalam: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.”

wa Allahu a3lam.

He didn't even give a bad judgment, rather he just opened up an important topic to be discussed. I think if more brothers encouraged sisters to wear the hijaab, and acted upon that encouragement by lowering their gazes, defending them when ridiculed, and supporting them, there would be a lot more sisters who would wear the hijaab. It may sound weird, but some are just waiting for encouragement and guidance--from the brothers. But sadly, some sisters easily attack brothers for trying to do that too saying "It's none of your business, I'll wear what I want, this is between me and Allah! You don’t know how hard it is to even be this far…etc" No sisters, it is his business, he's a brother fillah, and his word is valid as a concerned and obeying Muslim. We shouldn’t send mixed signals, so inshallah do not discourage them, even if they may be harsh in their tone, because we need more like them!
A BiG JazaakAllaah Khayr for the above posts, was highly appropriate for this thread. The thread poster made a thread addressing a perfectly valid issue so there's no need to bite his head off or anything...only Allaah knows best about his intentions.

Gosh, people, c'mon! :uhwhat

I think this has been discussed enough for now... If a new similiar thread is created, I advice you to not start another debate, add off-topic points, insult each other or become rude.
