I need help with this assignment..like ASAP :D

If you were walking down the hallway or sidewalk, and someone (specifically a female) maintained steady eye-contact, what would your initial reaction be?

If other, please state so!

real experiences may help as well..

jazakum allahu khair in advance!

Who is it?
Same sex, opposite sex, policeman, thug, child?
Depends who.
 
Assalamu Alaikum

I'd specifically say a female hijabi, but I'll jst keep it simple and say a female.

I edited the first post and included that.

wa 'alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah...

depends on the gender....

Female: Glance away/lower gaze & continue on your way

Male: stare back like "yes...? ^o)"
 
:sl:

i chose option 1 as seemed closest but how would i know she was keeping steady eye contact as my eyes should be down anyway as soon as i see it is a woman in front of me?

:sl:
 
:sl:

hmmm, i don't know. :?


how cute is she? :omg:


just might have to introduce myself! :happy:


kinda happens alot, but doesn't turn out like they expect!

alot of Muslimas stare at me because i wear a Pakistani chamise and have a real long beard with a short mustache. they're like...is he...but he's...white...

they then assume i am from Pakistan, though once they think about it they guess Bosnia.

when i speak to them i often hear, "Wow, your English is pretty good!" :mmokay:

lots of astonishment when they find out i was born in the US. even more if we discuss Islam or comparative religion. they leave saying, "Salaam Shaykh!"

:w:
 
Same as SR. If it's a male :I would say "keep your eyes down as no one deserves you looking up except Allah(because I'm tall).

when girl i don't know says "hi" to me on street, or giggles, my reaction is to give them serious gaze :D, and continue like nothing happened. I react that way naturally, cause you don't expect strangers to do that.

when younger male stranger says hi to me, I automaticly assume he's gay/needs money so I ignore him also.

when older people say "hi" to me, i find that weird cause in big city people don't do it often, but out of respect i'll respond back politely.
 
I think I `d walk more slowly so if she knows me she will take the step and say alsalamo alykom do u rememmber me?
but this will be my reaction only if she looks respectable and good one,and only if that was in a secure country and place
If not I ll run away ,may be she is planing to abducting me :eek:
:) .
 
I would depend on who the women is...I would most likely just smile and keep walking. Of course, if it was a sister I would say my salams. I tend to get a lot of stares specially because I'm a white American revert just starting to wear the hijab! I think a lot of people look at me and think "is she white?" :)
 
Assalamu alaikum

just out of curiosity, if someone you knew did this, like a close blood-relative, would you guys react differently? I know if my sister maintained eye contact, id probably say something like "what?? :mmokay:"

fi aman allah

give them the ole

stare

mwahahahahaha
 
If its a sis I'll smile and if they dont smile back I'll say salaam (they might know me innit but I might not recognise em or summin and they might be waiting for me to say Hi :p) and if they dont salam me back then I'll roll my eyes and walk off, the cheek! <_<

If its a bro on the same side of the street as me I'll cross over and walk the other way, and I definately would not attempt to overtake him if he happened to walk past me :uuh: personal experiance dictates not to do that :uuh:

But really, I'm usually walking far too fast to notice mere earthlings.

WassalamuAlaykum

Depends how long would they stare :uuh:, if more than few secs, I'd start a staring contest if I'm in mood or just ignore it otherwise.
 
A little after I posted this, I was on the train and this lady was staring at me :uuh: LoL freakish. But anyway I maintained my 'cool as a cucumber' look for about 5 seconds before averting my gaze, I couldnt help it, I mean how long can u actually stare at somebody for :uuh:
 
Trust me, I would probably never realize the stare if not someone said to me there's someone staring at me. Has happened so many times. :offended:

I always look back and smile or look somewhere else, ignoring.

No mimz, I wouldn't go bazooka and give attitude "Are you STARIN' AT MEEEH?!!!!?", how much you even wish to believe that. ;D
