It all comes down to the niyah! If your intentions for wearing niqab is because you wanna please Allâh and get more hasanaat inshâ'Allâh, then go for it.. But some women use it wrongly.. Like on here in DK, she wears niqab, but she sprays on so much perfume that you can't breathe when she walks by you, she made the jilbab smaller around her waist so you can see her figure, she wears high, noisy heels.. Out in the street, she'll sit down at a cafe, in public, remove her niqab, smoke a cigarette and then put the niqab back on, and continue before..
A sister I know used to work at a place where they sold hijab and jilbabs.. Then this niqabi walks in, and ask for hand gloves.. My sister then tells her where they are.. Suddenly, in the middle of store (where men also come), she removes her niqab AND hijab.. And she didn't even care..
So just because someone where's niqab, then it doens't necessarely mean that they are more pious than others..
Sorry if I repeated what others said.. I haven't read the whole discussion..
Hey that's not true! I don't care know! But when I get married inshâ'Allâh, I will care.. Who am I gonna dress up for now? My parents? :hmm:

Every young women when leaving the home will want a non mahram to look at her (at least 5%), its probably natural (isn't it). But then some kill it man,with their overacting little flirty actions, in niqab, yuck.
Some use it as a fashion accessory. Its proper spooky when they try to eye you up in their niqab. Id have to run a mile. Its proper shame the way they misuse thier wicked outfit, its an outfit for respect and i give respect to them, it comes naturally (then they start their flirty little moves, and you think 'should they be respected' naaaaah.
salaam alakum
brother there seem to be some dodgy niqaabis around your area!!
shocking, looking at men in niqaab, they should fear least Allah takes away their sight!

Plain ignorance or what?
I am a little annoyed today so for give me if I sound harsh in any way.
Why I’m I annoyed? Well for a number of reasons really.
For most what amazes me is the ignorance of some people. Their thoughts and ideas of the Hijab are just phenomenal! Why are there so many misconceptions about the Hijab? Why is so misunderstood? It’s not just the non-Muslims that misunderstand it but some Muslims themselves! This brother said to be I respect you in ever way, that fact that you wear your Hijab but….Yes here comes a but!...”I think you’re been extreme” EXTREME??? What me?? How? I asked. He had the nerve to carry on…”well the Jilbab is not necessary for sisters to wear, its too much. I think sisters should stick to just a head scarf. She doesn’t have to go into that extreme”. He observes me and then observes the sister next to me. The sister was wearing a skirt and a headscarf…he turns to the sisters and says “Oh your wearing the full thing too.” What exactly did he want sisters to wear a trousers and a tiny little headscarf?! I guess that was his perception of HIJAB!
When I bombarded the brother with Chapters of the Quran and Hadiths he said “I am not prepared…I’ll come back with my evidence”. Evidence??! What possible evidence can he come out with! Ridiculous! The Hijab is not a tradition but a commandment from Allah, Most High.
Why is that people take what they like from the DEEN and leave what they do not like?? Why follow ones desires? What stresses me is when someone claims that I am extreme in the way I dress, talk, act etc…”You are religious” Is the most common thing they say. I say no I am not! I am just following what Allah has commanded me!
How does a piece of cloth I wear make me Oppressed, depressed, extreme, and exploited and whatever word these people label one with!
The Hijab I wear is my shield it protects me from all those sick looks from men! Looking at the women like a piece of meat. I don’t wear it for anyone but ALLAH! Surly He KNOWS what’s best for His creation.

Re: Plain ignorance or what?
Sister, you are not the only one who is frustrated, we as muslim women are frustrated aswell. I certainly can understand how annoying it is when someone says that we are dressing relgiously when we are just following what allah(swt) has commanded us to do. I feel that people should really really think before they say anything. If they say something as ignorant as "why do you dress like that" just tell them to convert to islam and then they will know the full meaning. Otherwise, they are not in our shoes, thus they do not know what it feels like to be asked stupid questions which has no intelligent meaning to them. Hjiab is for protection, simple as that!
Hjiab is protection for the lustful gazes, for honor, and thus for modesty. non-muslim women cannot understaand that because they are not in our shoes therefore they cannot understand our perspective as muslims women. In fact, there dress code in society is the exact opposisite of how we muslims want ourselves labled as. We do not want ourselves labled as hoers, sluts, or tarts. Instead we want to be the respected woman that Allah (swt) has blessed us. Kuffars don't understand that. They need to look beautfil and sexy for their boyfriends.
They need to get respect from a man that only look at the outside of their bodies and not the inside. They only dress to impress per say. Now this is why they do not understand the true meaning of why we have to wear hijab and burka all the time. Their way of dressing truly contradicts that way of our dressing. InshaAllah in the hell fire those women that are half naked prancing down the streets will be truly punished. As Prophet muhammed(saw) once said, there will be more women then men in hell fire, and those are the women that are half naked. subhanallah.

Re: Plain ignorance or what?
Assalamu Alaikum
People like these we can only make dua for them, for some, i dont think its ignorance but more of arrogance. You fear Allah, and they dont even know how to fear Him, say Alhemdulilah that Allah has guided you to the correct path and that He may guide those who are of ignorance and arrogance upon the right path as well.
When it comes to ignorance, they learn these things from society. They see girls wearing pants and shirts with what they call "hijaab" and then they begin to compare. When some see that you are more religious than them, they may become very jealous, hence the arrogance.
Other than that, continue to fear Allah, because they certaintly do not. Life maybe a shortcut to them, but those who take that shortcut forget the right path, therefore they are secluding themselves from the righteous. There are no shortcuts in life, just incorrect paths leading to a faster endway to the gates of Hell.
Many muslims, honestly have lost their sense of religion in Islam. They think just because of the fact that they will enter Jannah, they can commit sins, and when they get old to when they think death is near, they think about becoming religious. Life is too short. how long does one live? Allahu A'lam but compared to the hereafter..its nothing, it does not even deserve the title of life.
"These are the people who buy the life of this world at the price of the Herafter:their chatisement shall not be lightened, nor shall they be helped."-2:86
Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said, "Whoever studies that which is meant for the sake of Allah, desiring only a piece of the Dunya, he shall not smell the frangrance of Jannah on the Day of Judgement." - narrated by Ahmad, and Tirmidhi.

assalamu alaikum...is it two out of the four most famous scholars that say it is fard? and the others say is is preferred? in any case...there is a nice hadeeth, and i cant get my hands on it right now, that says..you will be with the ones you love in the hereafter..so if we truly love the wives of the prophet (saws), and try to be like them in everything, we will be with them..insha Allah...may Allah help us all, as the life of this world is so short..ameen.

I used to wear niqab but because i live in a non muslim area.. with no other muslims to be seen, and i have to travel about 45mins just to buy halal meat by myself (on public transport coz i dont drive) i dont wear it anymore..
It brought a lot of unwanted attention.. people used to come up to me and tell me that im in australia now i dont need to cover my face lol..
But inshaAllah if we move to a more muslim populated area i will start wearing it.. in my heart i want to wear it but i know its best not to at the moment..

Re: Plain ignorance or what?
Yes of course life is a test sister. The Hijab is a big test. But of of the comments you get from people our own brothers and sisters is like>>>>
At one point this non-Muslim woman was asking me why do i wear the Hijab. She was very interested to know. Espically since she saw that the sister next to me was dressed the like her. Do you know what happended? before i could open my mouth the sister next to me said "WE don't have to wear it". How did it make me seem like? I just frooze and the Non-Muslim woman looked at me and said "You don't?!"...."So why are you wearing it?" what was i supposed to say? My dawah was ruined! I would say one thing and the sister would say something else....so i remained silent...
You see Muslim themselves need to awake up and start studying the Deen.
We sisters need to be active in dawah insha Allah....
If i may add brothers also need to study about the Hijab. Some consider the hijab "Sunnah". Whats that meant to mean? Some say you should only wear it when you get married! Subhanallah.

Re: Plain ignorance or what?
oooooh u shoulda said to the guy no i want your evidence NOW and if he was so critical then he must be a scholar or an ignorant because you need to back up what he`s saying and what more evidence could he have that u were giving him.
haha but good thing you bombarded him..it can be good for an argument and it seems you showed him you knew what you were talking about :thumbs_up

He said "we'll see, we'll see" "Your just loaded now"

Salaam aleikum
This is what its like on the Norwegian islamic forum, about hijab. Muslims deny it, non-muslims praise the denying muslims, then we who wears it (or me the loner in niqaab) explain about it, and tell them why we do hijab, and then the modernists deny it again, bringing their "evidence" from muslimwakeup or some other misguided site, and then the ball is rolling again. I AM SO TIRED of this. Why cant muslims let other muslims practise in peace?
One of the first times i wore niqaab to masjid, this muslimah looked and looked at me, and then said, "Why are you wearing that". I was like, because its recomended in islam... She said "but what is it, its so strange"... Not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

Niqab is very good amshallah. Myself Im planning to wear it in the near fiture when I get married inshallah. But it is sunnah and not fard, it will become fard if the society is used that all women wear niqab then we would have to wear it all. I admire the sisters who wear it though. Mashallah for you dear sisters, may allah swt give you the best rewards for your good deeds.
