Nothing major but today I witnessed the most bizarre thing ever. Every morning, I catch 3 buses before I get to school. Blah, forget that. On the last bus, there normally is a sister who is on it (if I'm on time). She's covered in head to toe, niqaab, jilbab everything.
Now out of respect, I sit in front of her on the bus and not behind her. (Would you say that's respect of me being stupid?) There is only us two muslims (80% of the time) on the bus to school.
Today, someones phone went off. It rang, and rang, and rang, and no one answered. I daren't turn around to see what's going on because of this sister. As soon as we get off, this sister walks off in the other direction and answers her phone.
I was taken aback by this and yet cannot understand as to why she did such a thing. Anyone have any idea? I can only think of her not wanting to speak out loud so that everyone (I) can then hear her voice.
Allahu A'llam why she did that however it would have been better for all if she were to silence it. I know i would have been too embarrased to speak on the phone whilst i was on a bus or train.
lolz..
by the way im only messing...mayb she didnt want to b the centre of attention in the bus or she didnt want everyone to hear the conversation she wouldve have
i think ..if shes a proper practising muslim then whateva she done ws right...coz i persoanlly wouldnt ansa a fone call if there the bus is packed out wid ppl..coz then everyone would start looking at ya ..and id b like yh ..im onli on the fone for goodness sake
lolz
So sister, what you're saying is because she would feel embarassed or be 'the centre of attention', she didn't answer till she got off? What has that got to do with piety, isn't that more of a self image/esteem kind of thing?
there r alot of thigns to look at
mayb she ws shy of talking infront of everyone
mayb she didnt wanna b heard from the ppl...coz its obvious dat ppl r gna listen to the convo ..they aint gna block their ears just for her
mayb she knew it ws gna b a fonecall on a personal matta..
and the list goes on and on
just coz she dresses in that way..it doesnt mean shes shy...
though she had the courage to wear the full veil..doesnt mean shes full of self confidence and self esteem does it??
being shy is part of modesty.
today i was at the store(fully covered head to toe) there were lot of people standing beside me in the line...and my phone rang...I didn't answer...because IF I have sweet voice...I think i dont' lol...so muslims around me can get attracted SubhanAllah. And really I can't talk in a serious tone....i'm always jokin around....so...other people who were beside me...can get a wrong idea...u know what i mean...
so maybe, she didn't want others to hear her voice....so they might get attracted.
