Women With Hijab

بسم الله الحمن الحيم

Allah Most High says,

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَٰبِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا 

‎O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. [Quran, Al Ahzab 33:59]

Women who are serious about their modesty and chastity should cover themselves with proper hijab. As Muslims we are governed by Islam. There maybe people around us who  are not governed by the same rules and regulations. Let them do as they wish but we do as we are taught by His Messenger (ﷺ)

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

Asma, daughter of AbuBakr, entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing thin clothes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his attention from her. He said: O Asma', when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this, and he pointed to his face and hands.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ رِقَاقٌ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ ‏ يَا أَسْمَاءُ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْمَحِيضَ لَمْ تَصْلُحْ أَنْ يُرَى مِنْهَا إِلاَّ هَذَا وَهَذَا‏ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ وَكَفَّيْهِ

 [Abu Dawud]

At the time when people are looking at Muslims with an eye of suspicion, it is not easy to dress like a Muslim woman, but the ones who do, they will save themselves from calamity and disaster in this workd and the next. 

When we show our Muslim identity in great numbers, we are showing  our good deeds and good character. If we hide our identity who would know Islam is a beautiful and peaceful religion?

May Allah increase our iman and protect us from calamity. Aameen.
