No, this is not my personal opinion this is the truth. So what if the majority of muslims think the contrary? Just because the majority think something is correct it doesn't make it correct.

Yep, the majority are wrong and the minority (Laila) is right. No question about that.


Amazing how people can go so far in their imaginations.

Yep, you said it - too right!
You cannot claim any credible Islamic scriptural basis for the archaic Byzantine and Persian inspired dress modes.

Just because you think something is wrong it doesn't make it wrong!
Aaaaaaaaah! I think the issue of hijab is being discussed more than wat it deserves and in a very exaggerated way, there are more important things than the head scarf issue!

This reminded me with that controversy which was started by the Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouk Hosny in the last few days; he made anti-veil comments in which he said wearing of Islamic veils was a "regressive" trend.
"women with their beautiful hair are like flowers and should not be covered up",
"There was an age when our mothers went to university and worked without the veil. It is in that spirit that we grew up. So why this regression?" he said.
Farouk Hosny
(P.S. Farouk Hosny still holds the same position since 1987 i.e. before i was born!)

And i was wondering why Egypt is a thrid world country, but i guess i found the answer in these silly remarks that have no benefit except keeping the public's mind busy with such silly issues instead of finding solutions for poverty, corruption, unemployment ....etc and obviously our minister of culture didn't find any problem made him suffer insomnia other than the increasing numbers of veiled women; Egypt is free of problems except the veil problem....this is really interesting!!!
I am wondering; doesn't the word "priorities" mean anything to us?!

Salam,

Sister i respect your views, but if we read The Holy Quran there is a direct command to women, after Allah The Most High addresses men.

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.
(Surah Nur 24:31)

But then again if you choose not to wear it it is your right, we all have to answer to Allah:

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
(Surah Bakarah 2:256)

Kind Regards,
Your Brother in Islam, Yasin.

This rudeness is making me ashamed to call this my DIR.

If you think someone might not be following Islam correctly (and I doubt any human knows what G-d thinks) then polite and compassionate and gentle suggestions are in order. If you can't manage to be nice to your fellow brothers and sisters in the Ummah then just say "peace" and be on your way.

Good advice... hardened hearts doesn’t absorb much...

sometimes i wear hijab (as in scarf), sometimes not. depends on how i'm feeling and where i'm traveling to. but i always wear hijab as in modest dress, jeans or long skirt, long sleeves. i agree with laila, that hijab as in headscarf specifically is not spelled out in the Quran. modest dress and modest intentions / behavior, however, is clearly commanded.
