Hello brothers and sisters, this is my first topic i will introduce, not sure how to use this forum yet hehe..
Anyway i wanted to know peoples views and knowledge on what im about to say. When its Ramadhan i see girls who dont wear hijabs wearing one and then they take it off after ramadhan. Whilst they are wearing their hijab they also wear tight and revealing clothing. This is not right in my view.. I guess they are doing something good by covering thier head. However its insulting the idea of covering yourself.
the thing is that some people, like the kind of girls you're talking about, dont know what hijab is.
they think hijab is just putting a scarf on your head but its not. hijab is covering the whole of your upper body not just your head.
these girls need educating because no-one's taught them properly. its up to us to advise them nicely when we can.

Yeah of course it is not right but thats where you and I come. Give Dawah invite your sisters to Islaam, teach them, advice them, correct them etc. I am sure none of us woke up one day with all the knowledge we have so don't think bad of your sisters in Islaam, maybe they do this all due to ignorance on their part and they think it is right. Allah knows best.

Well people think it's wrong for me to wear pants with the hijab as well. I say, leave the judging to Allah because you won't be accountable for their sins. As much as you think that when they go out they will be representing all Muslims and that wearing tight clothes with the hijaab nulifies the whole idea of wearing one in the first place, these girls (as brother Sir Demonic mentioned) may actually be taking baby steps into becoming better Muslimahs. You never know whats in their hearts, so please stop with the judging. I consider this to be a type of gossip myself that's why I find it not so pleasing to talk about.

surely u are right...i also think it is stupid to judge ppl in this way..we have no idea what their inetntions are..some girls cover up like ther is no tomorrow...but dnt wear the veil on their actions and tounges and minds...
i think the physical veil is the least important of the veils...and any other muslim in the right mind would agree...
"'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too"

Exactly sis! People's adhab have to come along with it. Covering yourself up does not make a person alone, it's also how they carry themselves. Give Dawah to sisters who do so, and don't do it in an arrogant fashion..! I've given Dawah to sisters nicely and it turned out great, they actually apppreciated it. oh:

i think wen u approach girls with topics like this u must be very careful...
wearn the hijab is hard enuf...the last thing a teen girl on her last straw needs is a 'sister' to pull her into a corner and say "dnt pull ur sleeves up next to the 'brothers' ..." etc...
i think for starters..the person informing must be well known to the person informed...it cant be anyone,...sure, ur responsible and jsut doing ur bit...but i can quite frankly say that the sis being informed is gna turn around and say " oh thank u so much...i will be more weary.." then in her haid say "who the hell is she...wats it to her,,,"...
i know i do it...wen im praying at uni and there is two mins for my class and i pray a little speedier than usual...(totally in a halal way)..i get little nudges from unknown sisters saying "sister, sorry but..u didnt wait long enuf at ur second secda.." and im thinking ..."yeah...i did...im the one counting...!" bt im saying the total opposite...
i hate that...

Yeah, that's true sis even when you're being sincere and trying to warn them of what they're doing it still may come across as rude to them, but it'll still feel better in your heart knowing that you tried to help a sister out.

We might not be accountable for their sins, but it is our duty to warn and help guide them, to command good and forbid evil.
Advising a girl that her clothing is too tight is not judging her at all. It is simply advising her.
I see Muslim girls at university wearing the headscarf with tight jeans. Once I even saw one of them in a headscarf with a tight top underneath. My Muslim friend told me that if I see Muslim girls dressed inappropriately to tell them, because as a non-Muslim, they will realise that people are looking at them. However, I'm not actually going to do it, but it is a good idea.

yeah...you should confront them and ask them what is the purpose of wearing hijab.
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.

i am going to have to disagree with you again. :sunny:
i ask, what is a man going to drool (excuse the word) over. a womens bad attitude or the shape of a women??
you know i personally wear a hijab during ramadan and sometimes i feel guilty taking it off at the end but i do it and ive always dressed modistly, im semi into fasion but covered well, not to tight nothing exposing
interms of wearing it during ramadan i think its a state of mind i try to be a good muslim but even more so during ramadan i dont generally watch tv i read and learn stuff of course i fast but i do a little extra comunity service, its a very spirtual month if thats the correct word.
i also do it somewhat because i wouldnt be able to carry a hijab around with me at work so since im already wearing it it makes it easier, and due to my light complection i often get mistaken for itilan or something like that and when i wear it i find people eat infront of me less when im fasting, they talk more respectful and so on
I do not often see such women, but I did see one today. She was somewhat overweight and wearing extremely tight clothing. I love in the US where caucasian women tend to wear loose clothing (unlike Europe). I think many wealthy Arab and persian girls buy European style clothing and then do not understand how absurdly tight it looks in the US. I am not talking tight by Muslim standards- they are tight by local American standards. There are also many black Muslims in my area and I think some of them are influenced by mainstream African American clothing styles (aka ghetto), which are also tighter than normal. This results in some Muslim women looking rather silly in hijab. Sometimes I even wonder if they are wearing hijab or if they have some fashionable scarf on their head.
Personally, I like jilbab for aesthetics, but for practical purposes, I like the niqab above all.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT MY INTENTIONS ARE NOT GOSSIPING AN IM NOT QUESTIONING SOME OF THESE GIRLS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF HIJAB. MY EXAMPLES MAYBE SOUND LIKE IM JUDGING BUT IM NOT. NOT POINTING FINGERS AT ANYONE. ALLAH SWT KNOWS THIER INTENTIONS.. :sunny:
