I agree that people must dress modestly*. And I think if a woman wants to dress fully covered then she should. But I disagree with some of the expression against woman’s fashion, when a woman says she does not want to be looked at like a piece of meat. If women are seen are they being looked at as pieces of meat? That offends me and offends my culture.

It is rather a shame to hide beauty which Allah has given for all to be pleased by. When I go out of my house I see the trees and the sky and the mountains and the architecture, and all these things are beautiful. But it is also good to see women who are more beautiful than all of these things. So they should develop their high fashion to enhance the beauty of themselves and make a better world for us to live in.
Those who see no beauty in this world are those who have no hope.
Why should we make peoples faces hidden?
*(except like at European style beach clubs)

heyy nowadays every1 is into fashion…but there are some religious families which doesnt allow the womens to show of their beauty to the world…because according to their believes nd their religion that is wrong…
I agree that women can be beautiful. And you’re right !- if they don’t want anyone to look at them as pieces of meat, then they shouldn’t dress in that way ! They wear their ****** all hangin’ out and then want to get all feminist just because you were looking at something that they invited you to.
Muslim women cover for the sake of ALLAH(SWT) because ALLAH(SWT) himself commands women to cover in the Qur’an and in a very strong Hadith so they are not looked at by strange men and so they aren’t *****. It is out of respect for their husbands, and themselves and most importantly ALLAH(SWT) that women cover. Women in Islam value their beauty so much that they don’t believe it should be viewed by any men except for their father, sons, brothers, and husband as well as a few other male members of their family. Muslim women don’t want to be exploited for their looks and don’t want to be ***** or killed which is what sometimes happens when women dress in ********** clothing(Mini skirts, high heels, jewelry, 50 pounds of makeup, halter tops that show half their chests, and thongs). Women are the object of a man’s lust and are more tempted by the devil to fall into temptation if they walk around uncovered because they are attracting unwanted attention from strange men by showing their beauty to men who don’t need or have any business seeing their beauty. Why does a woman in the West have to dress like a ********** in order to get a job, or a mate? Why are Western media influencing young girls to starve themselves to death in order to be super thin, selling dolls like Bratz that don’t do anything except teach young girls that they have to be ****** in order to get any respect in the USA? What is that teaching young girls? That is not teaching them to have respect for themselves. That is teaching them that they have to be ****** in order to be successful in life. Why is it such a crime if Muslim women choose to cover rather then show their beauty off to strange men? By covering up Muslim women are forcing men to see them as human beings rather then pieces of meat, and forcing men to respect them for their mind and not their body. Women are very beautiful and cause men to cheat on their wives. The Divorce rate in Western countries is 60% higher then divorces in the Muslim world and men are 40% likley to cheat on their wives with *********** or have mistresses. If you want women to be looked at as pieces of meat in the Western world then just be aware that there are many marriages that are broken in the first year of marriage because of husbands cheating on their wives. Why does the West place so much emphasis on a woman’s beauty to the point that she has to dress in men pleasing clothing to be successful in the West? Why are women who respect God and themselves so much that they would rather cover head to toe rather then be looked at as a piece of meat and show their beauty off to strange men seen as freaks? Where have all the morals gone? Where have all the God fearing people gone? If you dress like a ***** then you are all most always going to be ***** if not killed. It seems like people in the West place much emphasis on women dressing **** to please men, money, and cars. Where is the shame in women for dressing like bad girls, and dancing at night in strip clubs, and being in **** movies degrading themselves in order to satisfy the lusts of strange men, and make some quick cash? To me that is the same thing as cheating on your husband because your beauty should only be for your husband’s eyes in marriage. Not throwing your virginty around to every man that you see. Women having *** outside of marriage, teen girls having babies out of wedlock, single teen mothers, and women when they are looked at as pieces of meat have the gallaty to complain about it? What do you expect to happen to you if you dress like a **********? I personally see the USA as a lot of greedy, *** obsessed nation rather then God fearing people who place high respect on modesty and don’t exploit their women. I’m a American Muslim woman and I wear hijab because I fear ALLAH(SWT) and because I fear the fires of Hell. I don’t want to get ***** for showing off my beauty and I don’t want to stand before ALLAH(SWT) when he asks me why I chose to be a $lut rather then be a modest God fearing woman. I will wear the Abaya and Niqab as well in September so I don’t have to worry about people lusting after me. I just think that women can be modest without dressing like ******.
muslim women dont do it so you can satisfy ur desire for looking at beauty, rathers its of Allah s.w.t
what is implied is that men cannot control themselves. Muslim women have a choice of colour for the hijab: charcoal; extremely dark grey, midnight, inky, etc. it is of course the men that should be punished: what is intersting is that western european culture 1000yrs ago was almost exactly the same as current islamic culture in terms of how women were supposed to dress. draw yr own conclusions.
Women have the right to decide what is appropriate for them to wear and what is not. The Quran makes this clear and even asks THEM to decide what is appropriate, I personally do not wear the veil but I respect anyone that does. Oh and covering your face is not mentioned anywhere in the Quran. I would never criticize Anyone because of the way they dress, let alone call them ***** or wh*res and if I have done it before then it is out own Ignorance not Religion. I hope that other Muslims don’t criticize non-muslim women for this because we don’t have the right to judge anyone or force our personal standards on anyone else. That is how the Quran instructs us to behave anyway…
And make not Allah’s (name) an excuse in your oaths against doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between persons; for Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth all things.
(2:224)
That woman who dresses modestly also wants to respect and protect herself.
Sunhanallah, we are all beautiful creations of God. But are we only going to see each other as works of art? Because we’re more that, we have a beautiful center with feelings, interests and hobbies, beliefs, etc.
This being said, if you’re going to look at a beautiful woman who’s dressed not too modestly but not so flashy either (sometimes), you may be so absorbed in appreciating her beauty that you’ll forget about the center.
We really didn’t mean to offend you in particular, or others like you. However, not everyone respects women so much that they want them to be happy and liberated. But those who wear hijab for the right reasons really are happy & liberated. They don’t have to worry about ********* men looking at them and wanting to bad things with them.
And about fashion: woman can meet the requirementsof hijab & still look fashionable at the same time.
If you see her dressed too flashily and immodestly, you may forget about her personality. But if there’s noting so catchy and attractive on the outside, then you may be lucky enough to discover the jewel Allah SWT created that lies on the inside. And isn’t that better than her beauty by all accounts? For as time passes by, outer beauty fades. But it is the inner beauty of a woman that will never, inshaallah, fade.
Peace.
ARABMUSLIM needs to move out of this country if she thinks its so horrible. I **** it my husband is fighting for people like you. Yes I agree that women shouldn’t be off showing there bodies, but that doesn’t make them ******. That is our culture. Yes I wish women covered themselves up a tad more but you have no right to make fun of them. Do you want us making fun of you? You have to admit that covering your hair has nothing to do with if you are a **** or not. I have a step Muslim family member I know all about the religion. His sisters also cover up. They have never said anything about being better than me because they cover the hair on there head. Big deal.. You just like to thin your better. I have news for you, you are not. You will see one day when you pass on and realize you were wrong this whole time. I pray for you in the name of Jesus. I hope you see the truth one day. Jesus loves everyone you and me. We all make mistakes and we are all sinners.
I agree, I believe in modesty in dress, but to totally cover to keep the male of our species under control is asking too much. Let the out of control guys go take care of their sexual drives in the bathrooms and LEARN to behave appropriately and respectively around women.
beauty is given to the women,it doesnt meamn that they have to show teir beauty to all the men of the world…it was said that if any women feels thast she is vbery beautiful,while when men looks over her(she is very attractive towards men she should cover her face also)women can show her beauty to her husband,brothers,uncles..you can find in holy quran.in surah alhazab you can also find why women should face her face…we cannot deny our Gods commandmend…”the honur of women is when she is covered”
And herein lies the universal problem with all religions…not just Islam…everybody takes a “holy” book written/recorded by god knows who from god knows what source and assumes that he/she can apply the contents within to sanction or denounce social practices…and each person believes that they have interpreted the words correctly.
Now honestly…does anyone on here really think that they’re going to convince a fundamentalist muslim and follower of Sharia Law that their concept of the world is wrong? It’s not like these people haven’t had contact with “The West”…it’s not like they don’t see what is going on…how people live in Europe and North America…heck a lot were born in these places, continue to live there and yet they still think this way (god knows in Canada where I live, more and more burkhas and hajibs are appearing on the streets).
I’m not by any means condoning this mentality…but I am really in no position to say that I am right and they are wrong or vice versa…nor is anyone else…and to let something like this offend me is just ludicrous…I don’t engage with these hardliners (EDIT: actually I have worked with a number of women who wore the hajib and we understood each other just fine. We treated each other with mutual respect and never attempted to impose our beliefs or judgements on each other - it’s possible to do that you know!) and that’s it…I have my culture and they have theirs…and my culture is the majority anyway where I am, so I don’t feel threatened in any way.
EDIT: By the way…how come we don’t talk about why Christian nuns are covered up (in a way very reminiscent of the hijabs)…or the Orthodox Jews…why only Islam?…I think our response to and interpretation of muslim dress has contributed quite a bit to the negative image of Islam…perhaps not as much as the ideals of the fundamentalists and radicals, but nonetheless…I think we share some blame as well.
