Muslims does this bother you?

It's true that if a Muslim women goes out with perfume and a man smells her, then she is considered a zaaniya, or adulterer, but most don't realize that yet. some think that we should be free to choose what we can do, but they forget that we are SLAVES to Allah, and we are NOT free to do what we want, because we were craeted to do what he commands us to do, through the Qu'an, and his Messenger, S.A.W.

Yes it does bother me alot, because ppl will think that we are just like the others, its a bad reputation, but most think that it will give us a good rep, being that muslims are free to choose what they want.

Walaahi i think sometimes to myself, what the Prphet would say if he saw his Ummah in this condition; he cried night s and days for us when he was alive, what would happen if he actually witnessed what was going on?

Anyways, there's really nothing anyone can do but pray for Nasrul llah to come soon, and that we go bakc to the Qur'an and sunnah before it's too late.

When I relate it to my experinces I think I was in that situation:because when I started to learn more about the Deen, I fisrt started of with just the head scarf, not dressing in the correct manner, this was because at that point I din't have the knowledge and understanding on how a "Muslimah" should dress. However as time went on Alhamdulillah I started to understand and implemented it straight away.

So all I can say is we should adivse in a correct and loving manner, as it is very difficult for some women to wear the full clothing ( I know as I have been there, but Alhamdulillah for humbling my families hearts) moreover the sister may not have the understanding, how can one act upon on something which they don't know properly about??

What does bother me is when a muslimah understands what is expected of her yet they turn away. That is just wrong. But Allah (swt) is the best of judgers and not us.

May Allah (swt) give each and everyone of our sisters the correct understanding (ameen).

Yeah I do get bothered by these women, to be honest, who wear tight clothes, wear make up, wear perfume, etc. because they are not setting good examples for other women who want to wear hijab or women who are already wearing it. Like Lavender, I am not yet wearing the hijab but I hope to do it very soon inshaAllah. And now sometimes I get confused as to what we're allowed to wear because of all these women who wear hijab and are wearing things and doing things that I don't think were ever allowed. You bring up a very good point sis, thanks for sharing. I pray that God keeps us on the right path in life.

Jazak Allah Khair

Peace!

May Allah reward you ya Um Talal, jaazaaki'llahu khayran.

Yes, the prophet Muhammad PBUH said that the Muslim is a mirror to his fellow Muslim (male and female). and Allah says (in meaning):

[3:104]

"Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity."

There are all sorts of stereotypes out their based on race, religion and religious doctrines, and sexual orentation. Their are stereotypes of Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Hindus, Native Americans, Blacks, Gays etc. Just because they exist doesn't mean they all these people fit into the same generic mold. People are narrow minded and don't know or even attempt to understand people. It bothers me that people are intolerant and unwilling to learn and accept people for who they are.

The problem is a few things. Western Media has convinced women that they need to behave such way and that it is not haraam but more liberating to dress as they please. Women are not following the Sunnah when they dress in tight clothes or pants which separates the legs... Many women want to disagree because they like to feel justified in what they do.

What bothers me is that many women do not know their deen. I think if they spent more time studying the Quran and Sunnah of The Prophet(SAW) they would understand better.

What upsets me the most is when someone who has converted(recently) to Islam gives advice as to what is Sunnah or not. Even people who have studied about Islam all their lives are learning everyday.

I must say that it is not Haraam for a woman to wear Makeup as long as she is with her husband. A woman can pray with makeup on as long as she has washed properly for prayer without it. Hijab does just not mean a head cover. Hijab means to dress with modesty and this is a must for all Muslims.

Prophet Mohammed(SAW), has said in a hadith that hell will be filled with most of the women...I myself try everyday to make sure I am one of the few women who will be able to be in paradise..

PS, Hijabi is not a word in Arabic ....

wolfkarew, you just converted to Islam 5 days ago!! I think before you start saying what is Halal and Haraam you should learn more. There are no Hadiths which say that a Muslimah can not go out side without a male relative. This is insane people saying things about Islam when they do not know. Women should not travel far distances without their male relative. Please know when you say things about Islam which are made up or not true you are sinning as there is no innovation in Islam...

Yes ! It bothers me and even offend me most of the times...... Believe the hype.

Q & A » Hijab (Islamic Dress) :

Question: What is the best modest dress according to Islamic laws?

Answer: In the present time, the context of hijab is the modest covering of a Muslim woman. A woman should not show her beauty or adornments except what appears by uncontrolled factors such as the wind blowing her clothes, and the head covers should be drawn so as to cover the hair, the neck and the bosom. Islam has no fixed standard as to the style of dress or type of clothing that Muslims must wear.

Question: Can I remove my Hijab in time of danger?

Answer: If there is a real danger threatening you because of your Islamic dress, you can remove it only to the necessary extent.

Question: What are the minimum requirements of Hijab (Islamic modest dress) for a Muslim woman?

Answer: Woman should conceal her body and hair from a man who is non-Mahram, and as an obligatory precaution, she should conceal herself even from a Na-baligh boy who is able to discern between good and evil, and could probably be sexually excited. But she can leave her face and hands upto wrists uncovered in the presence of Na-Mahram, as long as it does not lead him to casting a sinful, evil glance or her to doing something forbidden; for in both these cases, she must cover them.

Question: Are girls and women allowed to wear black coat and scarf all year round, even when it's not Muharram?Answer: It is permissible.

Question: Can we make a movie and photographs with namehrams without hijab and mixed gatherings?

Answer: It is not permissible as a measure of precaution.

Question: I am a married man and live in a joint family system; my father, mother, grand father, my younger brother and my uncle live in my house; how about my wife's hijab in such a situation?

Answer: Your wife is Mahram to your father and grandfather only (and not to your uncle or brother).

Well to be honest I think that it's not my business or place to judge because that is between her and Allah. Some Muslims that don’t wear the hijab like to wear scarves sometimes for fashion reasons, and non-Muslims do as well. I’m sure she knows that Muslim women are suppose to Hijab completely as in the cover the hair, neck, ear etc. clearly this is not her intention. Many Muslims don’t hijab, so does that mean they can’t wear a scarf for whatever reasons they want? True it is wrong that she does not hijab and as Muslims we should make sure that other Muslims know what is right and wrong, however she is not pretending to wear the scarf for religious reasons. She clearly stated its fashion. But I do think that women who hijab should most definitely respect the meaning of the hijab, and both men and women who follow the true Sunnah should not:

1. associating anything with allah.

There is a lot in being a good true Muslim.

I am Muslim and it doesn't bother me. I don't wear Hijab but at the same time I don't wear revealing clothes. I don't care what the others wear, let everybody do whatever they want. You are not going to be punished for them. There is something called democracy and mind freedom. Why should Islam always oppose those?

Those who say its none of your business know noting about shared responsibility of world Muslims.

Yes! It does bother me. Yet, I do not know what we can do about it.

The Islamic government here in Iran has tried many ways to prevent it, all in vain though.

It seems like the Westerners have been more successful in taking the scarf off some Muslim women's heads, than we, in some Islamic countries, in convincing them top wear it properly.
