Assalamu'Aleykum..

Hmm.. here is something interesting ... for u all to answerr..


To all the sisters on this forum, I wanted 2 pose a few questions 2 u...Wat made u decide 2 begin wearin the Islamic dress code? n After deciding 2 do it, what r some of d changes u noticed.... not only in ur attitude and character but also in your dealings with people and society in general. What does being a muhajiba mean 2 u n wat importance and significance does it have in your life?

To all the brothers on this forum, In Islam we know dat there r dress codes not only 4 d women but also 4 the men. Does adhering 2 an Islamic dress code affect ur character, attitude, or d way you react to issues?.....n Is there a difference in your eyes between a hijabi and non-hijabi woman? If so, what is it? If not, then why?

Jazakallahu Khairan

Wassalamu Alaikum.
 
not too sure what dress code you on about for men, as it is only stated that the men have to cover from the knee to the navel and thats all. you see in the prophets time there were no jubas or red scarves that the saudis wear today.

Although wearing a shalwar kameez doesnt affect my attitude or anything like that.

there is deffinetely a difference between a hijabi and a non hijabi. a hijabi fulfills her obligation as a muslim whereas a non hijabi (not so sure if this is a muslim non hijabi or not, ill persume a non hijabi muslimah) is not fulfilling her obligation as a muslimah to cover up

and allah ta'allah knows best

wasalam
 
:sl:

Wearing a qamis doesnt really have a direct effect on me as such...its become apart of who I am, so I really cant feel a "change"....but then again takin it of, makes me feel abit..."naked"....or somethings missing, also if I was to wear "normal" clothes, I would get even more ppl staring at me then when I am wearing the qamis...ppl have gotten used to seeing you like that i guess

As for non Hijabis and stufff, I would agree with brother Mujahid...also when your around non Hijabis you dont "feel" the same, if you understand what i mean?? When you see a hijabi you can understand that her religion is important to her and that her main proirtiy is to please her Lord. And I believe this could have a positive influence on the ppl in the sourrunding enviroment.

WaAllahu Ta'la 'Alm
 

Assalamu'Aleykum

Allah swt gave me the hidayah to do Hijaab .. few years bak .. n the great startin point was in ramadhan .. wat made me decide to wear the islamic dress code is because Allah swt has said so inthe Quran ..
After i started wearing it .. it made lots of difference in my life... it stopped me from commiting sins ... and also people's attitude towards me changed in a good way .. n as for the people and society around me ..i didnt really notice how they reacted ..n they didnt bother me .Although i wasnt confident goin to a place of non muslims ( i.e. town) .. since there r lots of racist pple .. but Alhumdulillah.. i dnt let them get to me.. no matter if they make some racist comments or give me Dirty looks ... as long as i m pleasing Allah swt .. the wrld doesnt matter to me ....

Being muhajiba .. makes u realise lots of thingss.. n we gotta be careful with wat we do.. since we never know who is following our footsteps..(ALLAHU ALIM)

Wa 'Aleykum As salam..
 
very good points from all of you

what i would like to say is that we shouldnt neccesarily judge people by what they wear. i know that it does happen naturally sometimes e.g. u dont really feel completely safe in town walking near a bunch of youths dressed in hoodies, smokin who knows what :P
but the point is we really shouldnt.

i understand that hijaab is obligatory for women but not all can do it i.e the school girls in france are not allwed 2 wear hijaab.


basically wot i am trying to say is that it shouldnt matter the clothes someone wears - its not about appearance because we all know that appearancees can be deceiving.
we should try to use our heart and mind more than our eyes

i know alot of people who dont wear hijaab or qamiz but i treat them no differently then those who do because i dont know waht they do when they are at home or in other surroundings etc just like they dont know waht i do at home etc (unless of course they are spying on me :D) - perhaps their ''clothing'' is their only fault. perhaps it isnt.

p.s. i myself do not wear qamiz.

I agree with the last poster. I would support France that bans on wearing of extreme Religous Articles in schools, I would also ban religous schools such as Catholic and Islamic since it creates division. How does one validate a religion! and why not allow "Goth's" to dislpay their Identity in "full".

I recently stayed in Pakistan (Karachi) for three months working for my UK employer. I had a very interestng time, however Pakistan is an "Islamic Republic", and I remember two sisters that came from the same family, who came to work for us and they were both loyal muslims to their faith, I would say equal in beleif, and character. One wore the Hijad, one did not. The one that did not was more feminime that the one who did. I puzzled them, and the one who did explain that the wearing of the Hajib goes back to the question "Should a women cover up her buety". Wether or not this includes the entire face is purely a question of your own faith. It is not a banner of identity!!!!!

Also, I toned down my "Britishness" by after some weeks switching to wearing the Kaftan (perhaps a mis-spelling) with western suit trousers and sandles. I lived for 3 months life with "Pakistani Pakistan", I loved em all, made great freinds with many many people, was treat with respect and assistance. Had memories I will never forget, but most of all experienced a sense of Islamic life. I toned down, to be less "different", and in reverse i feel we should not have the wearing of this head gear at our schools. And whilst at school allow the culture of unity develop amongst the different religions.

I also noted that one of my boss's daughters came to her Uncles place of work a number of times, taking off her head gear once inside, no matter who was their. I found communicating with her much easier because I was taking so many facial expressions as feedback to response to what i was communicating to her. How would you know if u embaress someone if you only see the eyes!

Their 5 prayer breaks (including fridays preyer), two coffee breaks and a 30 minute dinner break was disputed when we debated UK or Pakistan working hours!!!

Pakistan has many problems, is in full scale economical development and a definate high flyer of the Islamic world I only wish the world was more peaceful and that Pakistan could better develop it's tourism and watch the money come rolling in to further improve what they are constantly improving, despite heavy corruption.


I loved Pakistan..........
 
Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) told us to obey the laws of the land. I just said this in another thread. We should think what we are more worried about. Pleasing Allah (SWT) or what the western society is gonna think? I think 'Womanofjihad' is an example to all muslim women! She's tops! :)
 
Asalaamu Alaykum wr wb


As a Muslimah my Hijaab means everything to me, without it i feel low, mindless, and unrespectful. I always wore my hijaab alhamdulilaah, but theres a diffrence between just wearing a head-scarf on your head not know why or for waht reason your wearing it and actually knowing the correct hijaab and having an understanding of why im wearinng it.

O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the believing women that they should draw over themselves their jilbab (outer garments) (when in public); this will be more conducive to their being recognized (as decent women) and not harassed. But God is indeed oft-forgiving, most merciful. (33:59)

A sister showed us "couple of other sister" this ayaah and thats when it hit me. I was wearing Hijaab BUT YET not a correct hijaab.

I wanted to dress like the the women at the time of the Prophet and oneday i just brought a jilbaab and put it on. Alhmdulilaah.

Its a long story and i kept it short.

Insha Allah I'll tell you my experience and how people reacted next time.

Waslaam

Mashallah sister that's great! That happens to many women, no? Insha allah you will be rewarded for your loyalty to Allah (SWT) and his messenger :)
 
:sl:

For my scarf is my protector, my lover, my devotion,
my pureness, my beauty, my rememberance of God, And I proudly pull it over my hair knowing that when I wear it, I so rightfully thrust away all the things that the devil brought about, And when I put it on, I am Free knowin dat i'm in da right path alxmudlihaah.....My hijab is for the sake of Allah in imaan and taqwa AND I refuse to be objectified by man.
 
I get confused I do. I can't remember the different meaning for each one :(
