The true Muslimah

A True Muslimah: Never forgets that Islam, which encourages her to look attractive under the permitted limits, is also the religion that warns her against extravagance. (IdealMuslimYouth.Tumblr)

Donning the Hijab is not just Wearing it; Modesty and the female Awrah in Islam

[excerpt] from: Trails | Just as you’re about to change..

[...]

Donning the Hijab is not just Wearing it or Don it on your head!
And i totally agree with that!!! 100%
Donning the Hijab is not just by Wearing it! There’s more to it!

Firstly lets get to know what MODESTY in Islam is all about!
The word MODESTY in Islam is not just a mere word that is in the dictionary!
The meaning of MODESTY in Islam is such a huge contexts to discuss about!
But lets just get to know the Basic Foundation that every Muslimah! & also the
Muslimins needs to know about!

MODESTY. | AURAT. (Awrah)
The moment when we say the word Modesty or Aurat,
you will think of Hijab! Actions! Religion! Paryer!
how the way you walk, how you laugh.. how you talk..
lhow you think.. lowering your gaze.. and the list goes on.

Modesty does not only base on wearing the Hijab!
Modesty in Islam is more than just wearing a Hijab!
The way you walk is part of Modesty.
The way you laugh is part of Modesty.
The way you talk is part of the Modesty.
The way you dressed up is part of Modesty.
The way you think is also part of Modesty.
Physically, intellectually & spiritually! it is part of Modesty.
That is the Basic Foundation of Modesty that every Muslimah & Muslimins needs to know!

There is no such meaning/point of Donning on the Hijab when you don’t act upon it!
When you wear/don on the Hijab,
You are representing Islam!
You are like a walking banner of Islam!
Hijab Symblolize or should i say one of the Symbolism of Islam!
what is the point of wearing the Hijab when you don’t practice your Solat for all of the 5Waktu’s that you need/have to pray!
Munafeeq it is! isn’t it? (Na’uzubillah! none of us wants to be in that cast during
Yawm Al’Qiyamah!)

i amnot saying that.. when you are wearing the hijab, you should know everything about Islam! the science of Quran…No i am not trying to say that! verily none of us in this world is perfect except Allah!
im just trying to say that.. if you’re a hijabi, please act upon it!
Cover what you;re suppose to cover!
Act like how a proper Muslimah should act like.
Dress like how a proper Muslimah Should dress like. (NO TIGHT FITTING CLOTHES)
Speak like how a proper Muslimah should speak like.
& Don’t ever missed out any of the 5 waktu for Solat!
Recite the Al’Quran regulary! infact you should do it everyday!

“The Seeking of Knowledge is Obligatory For Every Muslim.”
- At-Tirmidhi

O Believing women in Islam, make the right choice

Wearing the garments of righteousness

O children of Adam, wear the clothing/garments of righteousness to protect yourself and practice Haya (modesty).
Islamic Reflections (Xenia)

Excerpt from The Hijab is Beautiful by Khadejah Jones:

The Hijab of the Muslim woman has a quality that comprises of Haya (modesty). Haya is what proceeds from Iman (belief).

My dear sisters in Islam, know that these women who beautify themselves for the world to see possess no Haya; thus, they are void of any Iman. Instead of looking to the latest fashion models for guidance, you, my dear sisters, must look to the wives of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him). Look at the extreme amount of Haya that ‘Aisha bint Abu Bakr possessed even in the presence of the deceased:

‘Aisha said: “I used to enter the room where the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) and my father (Abu Bakr) were later buried in without having my garment on me, saying it is only my husband and my father. But when ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab was later buried in (the same place), I did not enter the room except that I had my garment on being shy from ‘Umar.” [As-Samt Ath-Thamin Fi Maniqib Ummahat Al-Mu'minin . Al-Hakim brings a similar narration which he says is "good according the conditions of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim"]

Instead of practicing the Hijab (covering), the women of the Kuffar (disbelievers) practice As-Sufur. As-Sufur means to expose or to un-cover. As-Sufur is sinful as it leads to At-Tabarruj (i.e. to make a dazzling display of oneself). Displaying oneself is a attribute of one who is Jahil (ignorant). Allah says:

'And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves  (At-Tabarruj) as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance." [Sura Al-Ahzab, 33:33]

Allah the Almighty also says:

7:26
"O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember." [Sura Al-Araf 7:26]

Purity of the Muslim Woman

Posted by The Message
March 27, 2012 by seneiw

Purity Starts Here
Shaytaan told her:
"Who would ask for your hand in marriage while you are wearing Hijaab?!
How can anyone love to marry you while you are wearing Jilbab? Why don’t you use makeup to show your beauty?
Why don’t you attract boy’s eyes to your femininity?"

She replied:
"By wearing Hijab, I am obeying the One Who created me, and obedience of Allah has never limited my freedom but it set me free.
I am not a piece of candy which attracts eager eyes.
Hijaab preserve women dignity.
That's what all girls should realize!
Hijaab is the crown of my chastity
It is the secret of my liberty.
The one who will marry me, will be proud of my purity.
He will cherish me for he will be pious and wise.
He will hold my hand and take me right to paradise" (In shaa Allah) -Aameen

What does the hijab mean to you o` women of faith?

...a symbol of FAITH or a slave to FASHION?


Uploaded by j4mila on Mar 21, 2011
http://youtu.be/pi36GvRP7bk

Among the many fashion/stylish hijab video tutorials on Youtube, I pray this video catches the attention of sisters. I hope that the advice is given some consideration inshaAllah.

Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) has discussed the correct hijab, here is the summary of the key points:

- It should cover all the body apart from whatever has been exempted
- It should not be an adornment in and of itself
- It should be thick and not transparent or see-through
- It should be loose, not tight so that it describes any part of the body
- It should not be perfumed with bakhoor/fragrance
- It should not resemble the clothing of men
- It should not resemble the dress of kaafir women
- It should not be a garment of fame and vanity

A Muslim Girl’s Guide For Dealing With Guys

For my Muslim believing sisters, may you have Allah`s peace and blessings upon you all,

image: siddeeqeenshuhadaa


Posted: May 14, 2011
muslimfaith.wordpress.com

Life is full of crazy obstacles, but the one that will probably bug you the most and always be getting in the way is the opposite gender. Here, from one sister to another, is a Muslim girl’s guide for how to deal with guys.

1 ) No Touching
:- Muslims are forbidden to touch any non-Mahram (Mahram is your dad, brothers, father-in-law, husbands, grandfathers, and the siblings of your parents) person of the opposite gender. That means no patting on the back, no hand shaking, no pushing, no shoving, no holding hands, and obviously no kissing and all that. If you’re in a difficult situation where you think someone will try to shake your hand, the best thing to do is just smile and say, “My people don’t shake hands” and then explain why. And why, is because we believe a woman’s touch is a privilege and she doesn’t just share it with anyone.
2) No Flirting:- Not even with Muslims, not even in an Islamic school, especially not in a masjid! Flirting means that you’re saying or doing things on purpose that make the other person attracted to you. There’s no set criterion for what flirting is, but any girl knows what is and how to do it.

Muslim women are supposed to behave better than the average woman, who has to be beautiful for all the men around her all the time, who are trapped behind their looks and only judge themselves to be worthy if half the men they know are in love with them. A wise dude once said, “Don’t start the mower unless you intend to cut the grass”. If you don’t want a guy’s advances, then don’t do anything to earn them. There’s no point in throwing yourself all over guys and trying to seduce half the world. You really only want to marry one guy, and you want to spend the rest of your life with him, and chances are he isn’t going to be some dork you fluttered your eyelashes at in high school.

3) No Boyfriends:- As a Muslim, you know that having a boyfriend is haraam because it counts as Zina – fornication. Fornication, in easy English, means ‘sexual sin’ or ‘intercourse before marriage’. Allah expressly forbids romantic or sexual relationships outside of marriage. When people go against that rule, then you get the typical western society where people play sexual merry-go-round with each other, giving each other STDs, using and abusing each other, and destroying the sacredness of marriage as an institution. You can’t even be sort of engaged to a guy, and then “date” to get to know each other. In Islam, non-Mahram men and women aren’t allowed to be alone together (that includes talking on the phone!), to touch (not even shake hands), or even gaze at each other. It doesn’t matter if the guy you like is Muslim, a great guy or the Prince of England, you can’t date him.

4) No Boy—friends:- The easiest way to ensure that you don’t end up falling in love with some guy before you’re ready to get married is to avoid making friends with boys. Of course in school you have to interact with boys all over the place, but that doesn’t mean you should be best buds with them. Probably 90% of relationships begin from friendships. Chances are you’re not ready for marriage, your parents aren’t ready to let you get married, you’re still in school and your crush is not the sort of fellow you want to spend the rest of your life with, so just avoid being friends with him in the first place. It really is the best formula for saving yourself from needless temptation.

When you have to talk to boys in school as teammates, lab partners, group members, and peers, it’s best to maintain a distance. That means that you don’t confide in them, you don’t let down your guard, you don’t unnecessarily engage them in needless conversation, don’t joke around, and never flirt. Yeah it may be a little hard, but this is your afterlife we’re talking about. So many great sisters have put themselves in really sticky situations because they allowed a boy to get to know them, and either ended up liking the boy, or having the boy like them. once that happens you either end up becoming a pair (which is HARAAM!), or having to end your friendship. Instead of letting it get to that point, and then having to kill a friendship that you probably worked hard on cultivating, you should just stop it before it begins. There are plenty of great girls all around who can be your friends and if you really think only a guy will understand your problem, then talk to your REAL brother, or your father, or an uncle.

5) No Talking on the Phone with Boys:- In Islam its forbidden for non-related guys and girls to be alone together because there is the chance for physical zina, vocal zina, and zina of the eyes. That means, with no one there to watch you guys except that boogery shaitaan, then you might be tempted to actually DO something, or say gross things, or just stare at each other all lustily. With that in mind, it’s also a safe bet to assume that talking on the phone with non-Mahram guys is a no-no too. Why? Because unless you’ve both got it on speaker-phone and you’re chaperoned by a responsible person, then you’re still kind of “alone” with him. The people in your house can’t hear what he’s saying to you, and his family can’t hear what you’re saying to him. There’s a chance for some bad stuff then, so just avoid it. Not to mention, having some dude saying things into your ear that no one else can hear would be gross in real life, why is it okay for him to talk into your ear via the telephone? For the most part it’s just too intimate.

6) Be Disaffected:- What does that mean? Disaffected means un-affect-able. That means that nothing a dude can say can hit your nerves, make you blush, or get a reaction out of you. It also means that you are uninterested in what they do as well. Imagine yourself being in an airplane looking down on the scenery below. You’re a little interested in what’s going on down there, and it may look really nice, but you know that to get to the scenery you have to jump off the plane. Like the scenery miles below you, the guy may look really nice, but you know that to get him you have to jump off the plane …errr…commit spiritual suicide, and though the fall may be fun, you will eventually hit the ground 600 meters below and go -splat– on Judgment Day. Maybe even sooner.

Short of becoming an ice-princess, being disaffected involves putting up a mental wall between you and all of male-kind. They don’t know your thoughts and you don’t care for theirs. You can interact with guys at school within the bounds of Islam, but always maintain a formal distance. Don’t ask a guy how his infected toe is doing. Don’t give him a hug when he looks down. Don’t offer to help him with his homework. Don’t go out of your way to remind him that you exist, and that you’re not half bad looking. Even if you don’t feel like behaving, make yourself behave anyway, your afterlife is important enough to discipline yourself for.

The safest philosophy when dealing with guys is remembering this ”He’s not what I want, so why should I do anything to make him interested in me? That’ll just make for a painfully awkward situation and it’s not worth the sin anyhow.”

Remember that you’re always being watched! Would you act all giggly and stupid with boys if the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) could see you? No, right? Because you’d feel like an ungrateful idiot for disregarding the religion that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) took so much pain for just to deliver to you. Well, imagine how ungrateful it is to act like a supreme idiot when Allah can see you all the time, and it’s really stupid to disregard the religion that Allah prescribed, the favors He’s bestowed upon you. How dumb is it to take the eyes that Allah gave you and do things with them that He told you not to? (like oggle at boys?) How much stupider is it that He can see you doing this, and you know it!

7) You have no secrets:- Not because Big Brother (whoever that is…) is watching you, but because every single thing you ever did will become public domain on the Day of Judgment, and you’ll be brought to trial to defend what you did. Just don’t do anything that you wouldn’t want your parents, your siblings, your teachers, your friends, and the whole world to know about, ok?

The Hijaab is Beautiful

As-Salamu Alaykum (peace be upon you)By Abu Abdullah Fattah Salah ibn Bernard Brooks

Indeed, all praises are due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His Aid and beg for His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in our souls and from the bad consequences of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides, no one can lead that person astray and whomever Allah leads astray no one can guide that person. I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah Who is alone and without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) is His slave and final Prophet and Messenger sent to mankind.

Certainly the most perfect speech is the Speech of Allah and the finest guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him). The worst of affairs are those that are innovated into this religion as every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is astray and every going astray leads to the Hell Fire.

It often occurs to me that many of my sisters in Islam are not properly encouraged once they begin to observe the requirements of Hijab. It may be that a sister has been obliged to wear the Hijab without truly pondering over its superiority. Perhaps she has reached the age of puberty and her Wali (guardian) has instructed her to wear it. Perhaps she has recently reverted to Islam and her close sisters have told her of its obligation. Or, perhaps her husband has commanded her to wear Hijab. A sister who does not truly know the superiority of Hijab will always remain envious of the women of the Kuffar. Why? Because they see these misguided women looking beautiful for all to see. Hence, the Muslim woman then compares herself to that woman which causes her to feel ashamed of her own Hijab.

Therefore, what follows is a reminder for my sisters in Islam. It is a reminder of the true status of these so-called beautiful women. It is a reminder that Hijab will always reign supreme and that the true man (i.e. the Muslim man), will forever be dazzled by the beauty of the Muhajjabah (woman who wears the Hijab).

Some Excellent Qualities of Those Who Wear Hijab

Al-Hamdulillah, it is well known that the Muslim woman is a creature of Haya (modesty). Allah loves for our Muslim women to be shielded by their Hijab. It is their outer protection from the decadence of this life. Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) has said:

“Verily! Allah is Hayiy (modest, bashful) & Sitteer (i.e. the One Who Shields – from disobedient acts). He loves Haya (i.e. He loves for one to practice modesty and bashfulness) and Sitteer (shielding; covering).” [Collected by Abu Dawud; An-Nasa'i; Al-Bayhaqi; Ahmad; & in Sahih An-Nasa'i]

Thus, as possessing Haya is a quality that is beloved by Allah our sisters must feel comfort in knowing that they have this Haya and not the women who show themselves to the world; hence, such women will not be shielded from Allah’s Wrath. Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Any woman who takes off her clothes in other than her husband’s home (to show off for unlawful purposes), has broken Allah’s shield upon her.” [Collected by Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi]

Therefore, we see that the Hijab of the Muslim woman has a quality that comprises Haya (modesty). Haya is what proceeds from Iman (belief). That is why when Allah commands the women to observe Hijab, Allah says:

“And tell the believing women…” [Sura An-Nur, 24:31]

Allah also says:

“…And the women of the believers…” [Sura Al-Ahzab, 33:59]

Furthermore, Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Al-Haya (modesty & bashfulness) is from Imam (belief) and Imam is in Al-Jannah (the Paradise).” [At-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

He (Peace and blessings be upon him) also said:

“Haya (modesty and bashfulness) and Imam (belief) are fully associated together, if one is lifted the other follows suit.” [Narrated by 'Abd Allah bin 'Umar; related by Al-Hakim in his "Mustadrak"]

My dear sisters in Islam, know that these women who beautify themselves for the world to see possess no Haya; thus, they are void of any Iman. Instead of looking to the latest fashion models for guidance, you, my dear sisters, must look to the wives of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him). Look at the extreme amount of Haya that ‘Aisha bint Abu Bakr possessed even in the presence of the deceased:

‘Aisha said: “I used to enter the room where the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) and my father (Abu Bakr) were later buried in without having my garment on me, saying it is only my husband and my father. But when ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab was later buried in (the same place), I did not enter the room except that I had my garment on being shy from ‘Umar.” [As-Samt Ath-Thamin Fi Maniqib Ummahat Al-Mu'minin . Al-Hakim brings a similar narration which he says is "good according the conditions of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim"]

My dear sister in Islam, I know that it is quite difficult for you to go out wearing Hijab in a society that mocks and torments you. I know that you, indeed, feel strange and out of place. However, if you knew the status of those who are mocked by the Kuffar as well as the status of the strangers, you will continue to wear your Hijab (i.e. to cover your entire body with a Khimar as commanded (24:31), as well as with a Jilbab (33:59), with the exception of the hands and face; however, knowing the recommendation to cover those parts (as well) with dignity. Allah says in His Book:

“Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed. And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery); And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting; and when they saw them, they said: ‘Verily! These have indeed gone astray!’ But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers). But on this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers. On (high) thrones, looking (at all things). Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do?” [Sura Al-Mutaffifin, 83:29-36]

Allah’s words should serve as a support for you my dear sisters. Also, take comfort in being a stranger among these lewd and sinful women. Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Islam began as something strange, and it would revert to its (old position) of being strange, so good tidings for the strangers.”[Narrated by Abu Hurairah and Reported Sahih Muslim]

As-Sufur and It’s Characteristics

As-Sufur means to expose or to un-cover. Therefore, instead of practicing the Hijab (covering), the women of the Kuffar practice As-Sufur. As-Sufur is sinful as it leads to At-Tabarruj (i.e. to make a dazzling display of oneself). Displaying oneself is a attribute of one who is Jahil (ignorant). Allah says:

“And stay in your houses and do not display yourselves (At-Tabarruj) like that of the times of ignorance…” [Sura Al-Ahzab, 33:33]

Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“The best of your women is the affectionate, the fertile (in productivity), the propitious (favorable), the consultative if they fear Allah. The most evil of your women are the Mutabarrijat (those who do At-Tabarruj), the Mutakhayyilat (who strut/swagger), and they are the hypocrites. Those who enter Al-Jannah (the Paradise) are like the Cough Crow.” [Al-Bayhaqi in his "As-Sunan"]

My dear sisters in Islam, we see from the above Ayah and Hadith that displaying oneself is indeed Haram. Further, it is a quality of the most evil of women! Therefore, do not be envious of the women of the Kuffar. They only have this life to enjoy while the believing women will have Al-Jannah. There is nothing in your Hijab whatsoever to be ashamed of as it is the garment of the righteous and pious female slaves of Allah. In order to truly show you how evil those women who make As-Sufur and At-Tabarruj are, let us ponder over the following statement of Allah’s Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him):

“Of the people of Hell there are two types whom I have never seen, the one possessing whips like the tail of an Ox and they flog people with them. The second one, women who would be naked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others. Their hair is high like the humps (of camels). These women would not get into Al-Jannah (the Paradise) and they would not perceive its odor, although its fragrance can be perceived from such and such a distance.” [Sahih Muslim]

Sisters in Islam, these women who practice At-Tabarruj are common among us today. These are women that even the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) did not see! Look around you and you will see those women who are clothed but naked! Look at the hair styles of the women who practice At-Tabarruj – are they not high like the camel’s hump? My dear sister, perhaps we are the first generation since the time of the Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) to witness such women. If one ponders over photos taken thirty to forty years ago, one will see that the women of the Kuffar did not make At-Tabarruj as their offspring do today. These are women who will be in the Hell Fire, save Allah has mercy upon them by guiding them to Islam! Thus, how can you envy them? My brothers, how can you desire them over your creature of Haya? These filthy women will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise. This Hadith also shows us that what the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) came with (i.e. the Qur’an and the Sunnah) is the Haqq (truth)! This is a prophecy that has come to pass in front of our very eyes. Hence, will we continue to envy these evil women or be grateful to our Lord for your Hijab which brings Haya?

Whatever I have written that is true is from Allah alone while anything that is false is from myself and Shaytan. Subhanaka Allahumma Wa Bihamdika, Ash Hadu An La Ilaha illa Anta, Astaghfiruka Wa Atubu Ilayk.

Stylish Hijaab Vs. Islaamic Jilbaab

http://muslimfaith.wordpress.com/
Sheikh Danish Riyaz, November 14, 2011


A new trend of wearing Stylish Hijaab in Women folk came from the west to the rest of the world & it is better if they don’t wear such a Hijaab then what they wear. Its the duty of every Muslim women to acquire the knowledge of Islaam and today acquiring the knowledge of Islaam is extremely easy with the advent of internet and availability of a large collection of books in English and other languages in the outside market.
