In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
:salamext:
The reason I began to wear hijab was simply that I believed (and still believe) it is mandated in Islam.
Mashallah sister, May Allah reward you for your efforts to please Him. Ameen.
The question is if it is ok to force some women to wear Hijab? I agree with sister Medina83 that programs like these give non-Muslims more reasons to bash Islam. But I think we should be more concerned with abiding by Allah, Az Wa Jal, commands than satisfying the non-Muslims and the hypocrites among the Muslim community. A society without proper regulations of Hijab and purdah is more vulnerable to evil and shameful deeds.
The former government in Afghanistan made grave mistake by underestimating the importance of educating women. I believe that’s why these rebellion exists today. They didn’t give their women a chance to appreciate Islam through education.
Please forgive me if I offended anyone in way. May Allah guide all of us and keep us firm on His Straight Path. Ameen.
And Allah knows best.
Wasalam
