Sadly enough, that is exactly what happens to women when they get raped, and when they get sucked into thinking that their appearance means everything. They literally become like items on show.
the fact remains, the issue is with giving men a method on controling their minds, not covering up their women.

It is a two way process. Men are required to lower their gaze, and women are required to cover up. Men and women are also not meant to hang around together for no reason, and marriage is encouraged at an early age.

Women are also meant to lower their gaze and men are also meant to dress modestly.
so what about other women, such as westernised people? you see, the problem of men not being able to control themselves is not tackled, al though they mite not be looking at other muslim women, they still will have it in their minds when they see normal women.

It is not 'Islams' fault that non-muslims do not dress modestly. Anyway, Muslims are meant to lower their gaze and not look at women, especially those who are dress provocatively, and are encouraged to get married young. Also, if it really is too much for the guy to handle, it becomes obligatory for him to move to a place where such immodesty is not prevalent.

Where did i say that we own them? I'm talking as far as a woman and her duty to her ownself is concerned... It's simple self defense... defending her own honour and dignity from predators.

What's that to do with men owning them?

The way to tame their thoughts is to teach them that there is someone overwatching them even when police or security personnel aren't around.

And as you said, the other part of solving the issue is for women to not make themselves a soft target for crooks by taking the necessary security measures.

It's a doubel layer security measure which comes naturally when Allah is obeyed.

take care all the best.

but what about the extent of when women wear gloves, and cover faces so just eyes are visible? isnt this unfair that a women must go to these extents just because men cannot control their minds? i agree, they should dress modistly, jus as men should with self respect.

Hello

1stly who said we (Muslimahs) wear it "because men cannot control their minds?" :confused:

The Hijab is a commandment from Allah, Most High. When a Muslim woman goes to the extent of covering herself completely, she is doing it to get closer to her Lord, to seek the pleasure of her lord. To follow the foot steps of the “mothers of the believers.”

2ndly If you want to look at the social aspects then the more a woman is covered the less her body is relieved the less men that would look at her and adore her.
 
i wasnt being sarcastic brother. u sed its a commandment from Allah to wear hijab, and that Allah prefers women to wear it, therefore im asking if it states it in the Quran?

yes, Quran and Hadith... lookup the chapter of "light" (surat an Noor).. and if you read the commentaries you'll find many hadiths quoted about the reaction of women when they heard the verses (they immediatley covered up)

:w:
 
ok this may be a dumb question but are you only supposed to cover your head and not your face? or everything but your eyes? i keep seeing conflicting information on this
 
can u please provide the quote from the Quran stating Allah prefers women to wear hijabs please? i do not have access to the Quran.what are the limits as previous guy has posted? should all be covered except eyes? or jus around d head?
 
30. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what they do.

31. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.

Hi,

Some scholars say women are allowed to uncover the hands and face... (some add feet also), whereas some scholars say everything must be cover, face included...

It is a pretty in depth topic I guess... but are valid opinions...
