HIJAAB FOR WOMEN
Question: Why does Islam degrade women by keeping them behind the veil?




1.
In
the past women were degraded and used as objects
of lust


The
following examples from history amply illustrate
the fact that the status of women in earlier
civilizations was very low to the extent that
they were denied basic human dignity:

• 
  
  
  
  Babylonian Civilization:
  The women were degraded and were denied all
  rights under the Babylonian law. If a man
  murdered a woman, instead of him being
  punished, his wife was put to death.
• 
  
  
  
  Greek Civilization:
  Greek Civilization is considered the most
  glorious of all ancient civilizations. Under
  this very glorious system, women were
  deprived of all rights and were looked down
  upon. In Greek mythology, an imaginary woman
  called Pandora is the root cause of
  misfortune of human beings. The Greeks
  considered women to be subhuman and inferior
  to men. Though chastity of women was
  precious, and women were held in high
  esteem, the Greeks were later overwhelmed by
  ego and sexual perversions. Prostitution
  became a regular practice amongst all
  classes of Greek society.
• 
  
  
  
  Roman Civilization:
  When Roman Civilization was at the zenith of
  its glory, a man even had the right to take
  the life of his wife. Prostitution and
  nudity were common amongst the Romans.
• 
  
  
  
  Egyptian Civilization:
  The Egyptian considered women evil and as a
  sign of a devil.
• 
  
  
  
  Pre-Islamic Arabia:
  Before Islam spread in Arabia, the Arabs
  looked down upon women and very often when a
  female child was born, she was buried alive.

Islam uplifted women and gave them equality and
expects them to maintain their status.



Islam uplifted the status of women and granted
them their just rights 1400 years ago. Islam
expects women to maintain their status.











3. Six criteria for Hijaab.

• 
  
  
  
  Extent:
  
  The first criterion is the extent of the
  body that should be covered. This is
  different for men and women. The extent of
  covering obligatory on the male is to cover
  the body at least from the navel to the
  knees. For women, the extent of covering
  obligatory is to cover the complete body
  except the face and the hands up to the
  wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even
  these parts of the body. Some scholars of
  Islam insist that the face and the hands are
  part of the obligatory extent of (hijaab).
  
  
  
  
  All the remaining five criteria are the same
  for men and women.
• 
  
  
  
  The clothes worn should be loose and should
  not reveal the figure.
• 
  
  
  
  The clothes worn should not be transparent
  such that one can see through them.
• 
  
  
  
  The clothes worn should not be so glamorous
  as to attract the opposite sex.
• 
  
  
  
  The clothes worn should not resemble that of
  the opposite sex.
• 
  
  
  
  The clothes worn should not resemble that of
  the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear
  clothes that are specifically identities or
  symbols of the unbelievers religions.

Hijaab includes conduct and behaviour among
other things



Complete (hijaab), besides the six
criteria of clothing, also includes the moral
conduct, behaviour, attitude and intention of
the individual. A person only fulfilling the
criteria of (hijaab) of the clothes is
observing (hijaab) in a limited sense. (hijaab)
of the clothes should be accompanied by (hijaab)
of the eyes, (hijaab) of the heart, (hijaab)
of thought and (hijaab) of intention. It
also includes the way a person walks, the way a
person talks, the way he behaves, etc.




5. Hijaab prevents
molestation







6.

Example of twin sisters



Suppose two sisters who are twins, and who are
equally beautiful, walk down the street. One of
them is attired in the Islamic hijaab
i.e. the complete body is covered, except for
the face and the hands up to the wrists. The
other sister is wearing western clothes, a mini
skirt or shorts. Just around the corner there is
a hooligan or ruffian who is waiting for a
catch, to tease a girl. Whom will he tease? The
girl wearing the Islamic Hijaab or the
girl wearing the skirt or the mini? Naturally he
will tease the girl wearing the skirt or the
mini. Such dresses are an indirect invitation to
the opposite sex for teasing and molestation.
The Qur'an rightly says that hijaab
prevents women from being molested.




7.

Capital punishment for the rapists



Under the Islamic shariah, a man
convicted of having raped a woman, is given
capital punishment. Many are astonished at this
harsh sentence. Some even say that Islam is a
ruthless, barbaric religion! I have asked a
simple question to hundreds of non-Muslim men.
Suppose, God forbid, someone rapes your wife,
your mother or your sister. You are made the
judge and the rapist is brought in front of you.
What punishment would you give him? All of them
said they would put him to death. Some went to
the extent of saying they would torture him to
death. To them I ask, if someone rapes your wife
or your mother you want to put him to death. But
if the same crime is committed on somebody elses
wife or daughter you say capital punishment is
barbaric. Why should there be double standards?




8.

Western society falsely claims to have uplifted
women



Western talk of women's liberalization is
nothing but a disguised form of exploitation of
her body, degradation of her soul, and
deprivation of her honour. Western society
claims to have uplifted women. On the contrary
it has actually degraded them to the status of
concubines, mistresses and society butterflies
who are mere tools in the hands of pleasure
seekers and sex marketeers, hidden behind the
colourful screen of art and culture.




9.
USA
has one of the highest rates of rape






10. Implementation of Islamic
Shariah will reduce the rate of rapes



Naturally as soon as Islamic Shariah is
implemented positive results will be inevitable.
If Islamic Shariah is implemented in any
part of the world, whether it is America or
Europe, society will breathe easier. Hijaab
does not degrade a woman but uplifts a woman
and protects her modesty and chastity.
