I am a convert to islam. when reading the quran and other islamic books I started wearing the hijab. Allah knows who will go on the correct path. I see some comments who dispute to wear or not to wear hijab. As a convert I read and felt it was my duty as a muslim woman to cover my head. For those who were born into islam it is how your family thought you about islam makes you a good muslim. I was chosen as many other converts to Islam to embrace the beauty of this religion. for years before converting to Islam I felt awkward when men would look at me. Allah knew that one day after meeting my husband I will accept islam. Before converting my husband asked me to pray with him. As I followed his prayer I was literally laughing as I was doing it with him. I didn't believe why pray to a god who never listened. Now Alhamdulillah I turn to Allah for everything. He listens and knows what is good for all of us. To my sister's take it from me that covering your head is good for you.
Salaam to you my sister. I am born into a Muslim family. My mom wears hijab but I am so confused and need some help. Can you all please help me and convey why hijab is necessary? I understand why wearing modest clothes are important, but covering hair as well? I've been watching many videos, but I'm really confused. I need some help and guidance. Thanks you so much.
I am a Christian. I started wearing hijab a few months ago. I love it! I love everything it stands for! It brings me closer to my God. And is a reminder and symbol of His constant love and protection over me. I wear it to submit to my God and honor His decrees for me. I love it! I love everything about it! I wish more of my Christian sisters to realize that we too are called by God to cover our heads and dress modestly. The Christian woman is called to the same modest dress & cover as the Muslim Sisters.... God bless you all!
I have struggled to wear the hijab and is still stuggling. I put it on and then for some reason take it off. I pray and try to do everything the right way but the hijab. I want to put it on but im not strong enough to keep it on. Please make dua for me and pls dont judge me
The difference between you and me is that I want to wear it on my free will. No men is forcing me. Unlike you people who are forced by society to walk around naked, starve yourself to death only to impress men and walk around in 10 inch heels to gain their attention. People like you are motivations for me to put it on and trust me, I will. May Allah guide you to the right path and may he make you understand the importance of the hijab.
Kerima kay Who are the "you people" you refer to? - certainly not me. Nobody forces me to walk around naked - & it would not be a very pretty sight if I did - neither do I starve myself, even though the loss of a few pounds would improve my health & fitness. I have never worn 10 inch heels in my life - nor could I - yet in spite of my age & physical imperfections, I manage to have all the male admiration I want:) I very well understand the importance of the hijab - I wore it for long enough years, perhaps more years than you have been alive. At first no man forced me to wear it either - my problems came when I wanted to take it off. As I said before: Feel free to wear what you (truly) want to wear - it's no skin off my Black butt. PS. Ever heard of the Stockholm syndrome?
Miss Martha if what you said is true---That no man forced you to wear it--- then why are you preaching that muslim men are all about dictating women? If you say who wore the hijab for a long time, are you saying you converted to Christianity now? If you did and thats where you find peace good for you. But why are you still stuck around muslim pages and commenting about others faith? If you go to your own faiths page, you wont see one muslim trying to put down christainity. Ofcourse if you attack, they might fight back but they would never start. Why are you here? Plus can you tell me What does virgin mary wear on her pics? just right above her head. Why is it that nuns are not told to take it off? Hmm... To you your faith and to me mine.
Your right, there is no point arguing with someone who already has her mind made up. All I can say is try to get your facts straight. No muslim women is ever forced into doing anything. And if she is, those men are not following our prophets advices and teachings the right way. Hope you one day understand everything about islam. Peace.
Miss Martha why are you trying to misguide other sisters? I wear the hijab and I am not oppressed or forced to wear it, its my choice what are you going to say about that?
it's not that i don't accept it i confess and im not proud of my shortcoming by not wearing the hijab. i just can't get my mind straight i just want to embrace it so the day that i put it on I won't take it off may allah guide me and everyone like me to the right path ❤
Mohammad Hijazi Well said, most Muslim woman without scarf are nicer in my oppiniont and can also be better then those with the stupid scarfs. Just my oppiniont.
Mohammad Hijazi when Allah comand to do something Muslim should do it without asking why. Muslim should not question Allah if he or she is not a munafiq. Hijab is without a question a must. Because Allah said it . If you don't ware it thn there is no question that she is a munafiq. It is great sin to disobey Allah.
Alberto Hy Sham Shut the fuck up. So a female who wears hijab but misses prayer, wears skin tight clothes and likes to drink is better than a woman who doesnt wear hijab but does none of those other things? You are confused
MrEvldreamr I never said waring hijab and not praying is OK. I was only talking about hijab.. it is Haram to miss a fard.. and the way you are talking It seems like you are more confused thn me.. 😑
Wallahi if our ummah committed only 10% of its time that is being spent by yelling at otherwise pious women for not wearing hijab on how a large part of muslim men have thrown away their deen and responsibilities, are openly having haram relations with women, spend their youth ignoring any advice on how to be a good man by our prophet Muhammad pbuh and then go on to expect a perfect wife without knowing anything on how to be a husband, imagine what doors would open up. If our ummah spent the same amount of time that is being wasted on issues like eyebrow plucking on prevalent issues like honor killings, racism, misogyny within our ummah. This amazing khutba could very well be a reminder to every one of us, hijabi or not, woman or man. Not covering is not the only way to disobey Allah swt. So why is the title "A message for non hijabi sisters" when it could be "A message to muslims who are choosing to disobey Allah"?
Cutie Zalbu Assalamu Alaikum, as a fellow Muslim I'm sure you are aware that the holy Qu'ran amd thus our Prophet Muhammad pbuh were a revolution in women's rights in preislamic arabia and thus also have the equality of man and woman as one of their many objectives. Feminism (meaning the fight for equality of the sexes) is an islamic principle, so I am humbled by your compliment. I am aware this is not a buzzfeed, though I see no correlation between that remark and my comment. I wish you the most of happiness and health, insha'Allah!
Awesome response! Plus I just want to add that a lot of women need time to come to terms with it. It's easier for some, and it's much harder for others. I'm a non-hijabi Muslim, but I'm not saying I never want to do hijab or I disagree with it. I just think that if I forced it on myself or allowed someone to force it on me before I felt like I was ready for it, I would only come to hate it. And I'm not making this up to justify not wearing it, I happen to personally know so many Muslim girls who feel the same. I know of girls who wear hijab in front of their families, but as soon as they're in some place where they can get away with it, they take their hijabs off. In fact just yesterday I saw two women come into a gym wearing full abaya and hijab, and they went into the changing rooms and came out wearing crop tops and tights and of course, no hijab. I think it's grievously unfair to judge a Muslim woman, and her deen, by whether she's wearing hijab or not. Only Allah knows about people's struggles, we as humans are in no position to pass judgement on anyone. I also want to add, if you see a woman and she isn't wearing hijab, she still deserves the same respect as one who is. So many Muslim men need to be taught this. Just because her head isn't covered doesn't mean you have permission to openly gape and stare. Sure she could make it easier by dressing more modestly, but you don't know that it's hard for her to put the hijab on. It's a battle for both sexes, plus, it's much easier to look away than commit to something lifelong.
I love this....I just came to Islam in July 2012 and Use to be a christian....Watching this made me cry cause learning I had to not wear nail polish and give many things up that seem sooo normal...it was hard but I am willing to give up anything for my Deen and My Lord....Nowing that it gets me Closer to My Lord...Ameen
I’m a new Muslim so I understand the struggle of the process. It gets easier when you’re doing it for only one reason. May Allah reward you for your efforts
maybe you should follow the commands of God ? Allah says: “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.” [al-Nur 24:31]
Love how everyone thinks they know better than the Ustadh. He is a learned person and what qualifies you to say what is and what isn't. If you don't like it remove yourself. He is only trying to guide you towards the truth. Some of you wouldn't even know it even if it slapped you in the face.
The beauty does not lie in the face, hair, or body of a person. It lies in their brain, their intellect, and their personality. Sure, we're caught by the physical features, but we know that we'll divorce the person if we're not attracted to their personality. That's a matter of fact. True beauty can occur in anyone. Not just people who guard their beauty.
No mam ur wrong beauty is in the inside and we don't need to hide it lf l was hijabi l will definitely chose not to wear hijab cause l want to show people my beauty not wear a stupid hijab.
If you are doing this out of ignorance"May Allah Guide You" if some difficulty is preventing you from wearing Hijab"May Allah ease your difficulties" If you are doing this on purpose or lack of commitment"May Allah forgive you of your wrong doings and guide you to the straight path" Ameen
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “O ‘Aaishah! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.” (Bukhaari)
I so want to wear a hijab right now. I always use to think will I look ugly( yes I have acne and my hair is the only thing that makes me look not disgusting). Will people accept me if I go to study in overseas? Will I get admission in a good university?? But nowI am thinking hey how am I Muslim if I do not know how to sacrifice? I don't care about my life because I know Allah will reward me.
Let me tell you one thing, get good grades but never forget to pray and make dua so that hijab will not make you uncomfortable around people. The ONLY reason you go to college is to study, take notes, get good grades and then go back home. Do not feel ugly in hijab, maybe you look ugly to people, but you are beautiful in the eyes of ALLAH SWT 😊
My dearest Sister! Congratulations for this big step! Islam is truly a beautiful, peaceful way of life. It gives sense to everything in life. I am really happy for you.
I'm Muslim and I'm having a problem with a brother trying to make me wear my hijab! it's not that I don't want to wear my hijab it's because my family is Christian and I don't want them punishing me and harshly judging me for being muslim

Hijab is a blessing my dear, I can tell you this from my personal experience. Because I wear hijab, muslims stop and greet me(Assalamou Aleykoum: its so beautiful to hear! so heart warming. Also, my hijab shows to my classmates and friends that I am devoted to my religion. For this reason, they do not judge me for not joining them in their drinking parties(or things of that sort); they respect me.
it's also very discouraging to hear comments about it from a male (even if a sheikh) as obviously he's not the one will be wearing it so it's easy for him to keep complaining about me not wearing it (yet). in contrast, it's most encouraging when talked through (not ordered) by a veiled female - doing it right and for the reasons behind it (not just for it's a must, coz many wouldn't have worn it if was just sunnah/preferable).
In all honesty..how on earth does God know and keep track of all the women who cover up?! I find the whole keeping an eye on everything so difficult to comprehend. It makes the whole logic of Islam,or any religion quite chomicle...
cassiesmum Allah The Almighty sees the ant under the earth, and everything depends on Him Alone. Nothing is like Him. Allah The Almighty Have Created Angels to work and check every single human being, and the angels write down every tiny bit of the humans actions. Those downwritten will be a extremely large book consisting of the humans good and bad deeds. Its all logical that Allah The Almighty Has infinite power that the human mind can't comprehend. He created everything, so it is totally logical. Islam is completely based on logic.
+Shadwa Barghash Assalamu Alaykum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh! I am constantly being mistaken for being a man and I did reply to one of your comments. So, no, just so you don't feel attacked, I too am a female. I'm sorry if people don't understand your struggles, and I won't be able to understand your struggle either because that is between Allah and you! :) In Shaa Allah you will wear it soon.
SALAMU ALAYKUM SISTERS!! You know how there is some people in the world who wear hijab and dont wear hijab and those who dont wear hijab is sometimes actually better than those who wear hijab? or vice versa.. of course you dont know anyones intentions. But what if you dont wear a scarf but you dress modestly, your raying 5 times day, you lower your gaze, you do your best to do good but the only thing you dont do is wearing a scarf. Do you go to hell? I mean, can Allah forgive me? I might wear it when i grow up and im in my first year of Uni but its such a big decision for me. Im not forced like some other people, but i have a choice as my parents gave me that choice..My mum doesnt wear the scarf but my sister does. Jazakalkahyr, thank you. Mature responses please..!
waleikum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu sister! MashaAllah you're doing everything else you are supposed to do alhamdulillah so you should strive to add on to it by starting to wear hijab and etc ..it's a part of our duty and even when we could be obeying Him in some ways we are also disobeying Him with other ways so we should try our best and obey Him on everything He ordered us to do such as praying, hijab, zakat etc I also wore it by choice Alhamudullillah and still have to work on things..so just aim to obey Allah in shaa Allah. Make He make it easy for you and make He reward you in this life and the next for your efforts. Salam
Three things: 1. You should Understand that--------, Men should lower their gaze no matter how much self control they may have. and Sisters in Islam should wear Hijab no matter how much pious they are from inside. Because Islam is not just about induvidual, Its also about society, the "larger good of society" and Identity. 2. If you are good from inside, your intentions are good, but you are having hard time wearing Hijab, then i think you should try to be courageous and more obedient towards Allah. ofcourse doing this will be like fighting with your worldly desire. an example : if i am very good in every aspect but not good at controlling my gaze and eyes towards girls, doesn't mean that my other virtues give me the right to do this. I should not stop there. what i should do is fight this urge or wish slowly till i reach to that point where i have total control our my nafs. 3. The best way is to seek help from Allah, make dua, read Quran with translation (if you don't know arabic), try to spend time with more pious people. Only this can give you that courage to solve this your problem. *May help you and help us all. Amin*
I'm not exactly sure if the hijab is compulsory but I think it is. Ask yourself why is it such a big decision. If it's a big decision, there must be some big consequences. Having been given the knowledge that it is compulsory (if it is) then you have no reason to object if it is the will of Allah. -My opinion
Brilliant lecture and hope people gets guidance and become Muslim and forget about pointing mistakes and try to see the truth.. Allahu Akbar ,proud to be a Muslim
If you don't have the intention to wear the hijab , why wear it? If you're not wearing it for Allah (s.w.t) , you're wearing it for no reason. If you're standing infront of Allah (s.w.t) on the day of judgement and Allah tells you that you wore it for nothing cause you wore it for your parents/friends/ the people around you. Islam is about your intention , you not wearing hijab does not mean that it's a free ticket to jahannam. You know that right?
Who are you Nouman to decide who is kafir and who is not. That is a sin which you committed. Assuming that it really is a fard that would make the person a "ase" or disobedient. Not a kafir. And how many muslim men have staring women in the streets and watching porn? Do you call them kuffar? They are not adhering to their hijab either. I love islam but yeah its seems religous dogma and misogyny just love each other.
make way he addresses women like u in this ... pointing out what somebody else is doing does NOT excuse what Allah has made HARAM for us ... just because we sin too doesn't mean that the lack of hijab isn't sin also .... grow up he doesn't decide what is and isn't hallal , he says what ALLAH made haram and halal
I get his point But I also understand that if you're forced into something or do it without intent that DOESNT COUNT you wear hijab when you're ready for it and willing to do for the right reasons honestly I am a Muslim girl but don't wear hijab yet but I try to be a good person and Muslim I do not know why others judge us not hijabi Muslim girls I've always heard people go "life is a test" but who are you to correct my answer ARE YOU THE EXAMINER GRADING THE EXAM OF MY LIFE? It hurts to hear this because I am not walking away from anything I try and I try and it's not enough to please PEOPLE sorry but what I choose to wear is none of your business Many women are self conscious or aren't ready for it or comfortable with the idea yet Or simply just not willing to do it yet
@iraufoon I do respect that comment, it makes a lot of sense. I greatly respect Br. Nouman Ali Khan, he is one of my favorite speakers and i agree with everything he is saying. I was simply commenting that the title of this video was misleading, which was aimed at the poster of the video. JazakAllah khair
It's a manipulative way of expressing and explaining that hijab is a "farida" or not. As a theology student I don't agree on this point with brother Nouman, specially when we as theologian know that the issue of hijab and music is doubtable and there's no concessions between the ulama.
+IbnQhatan Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh! The concessions between the 'Ulemaa' was only a while ago when the Muslim countries began to be Westernized, otherwise everybody understood what the Qur'aanic verses meant. I mean, the Sahabah spoke the same Arabic as the one in the Qur'aan, they were with the Prophet(S) and he explained in many Ahadith what to cover, some were blessed with the understanding of the Qur'aan (read about Abdullah ibn Abbas and what the Prophet(S) said about him). I find it saddening that people just don't understand that Hijaab is fardh. Same way a man has to cover from his navel to the knee and not wear tight-fitting clothes (many men also forget this!). I do my best to follow the Qur'aan and Sunnah completely, and I hope everybody else will too. This is why I even said all this, not to be that annoying guy that lectures about hijaab when he isn't modest, I wear my hijaab al hamdulilah.
Agreed! I always felt that is what people who say "I'm spiritual not religious" meant. Yeah... that just means you want to do whatever you want. Still... it's better than being an outright atheist or something. Sometimes you have to take what little good you can and be thankful for it.
So, what may I ask are your religious beliefs, and what careful discussion, planning, comparison & consideration have you done in reaching your decision?
From this clip (and if you dont know the context of what he's referring to in those examples, I respectfully ask please educate yourself before holding an opinion)He's emphasizing obedience to God and trust in Him that what God is telling you to do is good for you, even if you don't know why...although for the hijab the reasons are clear whether or not you choose to accept them. It's like how a parent orders their kid to eat their vegetables and tells the child not to eat that giant bar of chocolate in one day. The child doesn't understand, he doesn't have enough knowledge but he'll find out why eventually.
+ace The thing is that it's not God telling you to do these things. The book was not written by God, it was written by men. Just like all the other holy books throughout history. What is said in them is not the words of God, it's the words of men who claim to know the will of God. Don't you think it's just a little bit odd how "Gods" instructions for how women need to act is directly beneficial to men? Why would men be so much more favored in these books over women? Surely God wouldn't play favorites would he? Come to think of it, why is God assumed to be a male? The answer is easy. Because males wrote the books. Show me one line of scripture in any holy book that was authored by a female.
+shmeet quran is HANDWRITTEN by man, but words from allah, and words have not been "touched"/edited by Man, unlike the other books of allah. can you deny bible has been edited ?
+Shadwa Barghash Why would GOD need a mere mortal man through which to communicate with the rest of the humans? I mean, he IS god, right? Why wouldn't he just deliver his messages directly to every individual instead of having someone as a middle-man? Don't you think that GOD is beyond the written word? Surely he doesn't need to communicate through a book. You sound exactly like everyone else who has been blinded by "religion." Indoctrinated into a belief system that is the only one of truth. Religion is a scam. It's a tool of mass control that keeps power in the hands of the few. Haven't you ever wondered why god never chooses a woman for these things? It's because women didn't write the books, men did. You can say anything you want to about them, it won't change that fact.
"It's like how a parent orders their kid to eat their vegetables and tells the child not to eat that giant bar of chocolate in one day." Yes, that is what it's like. The only problem with that example is you have to think of yourself as a child, basically. Not an independent, knowledgeable adult who is capable of taking his/her destiny into their own hands.
+shmeet as a lady myself, I'm telling you that if we kept focusing on such petty (small) nonsense, they wouldn't have been muslim women. Plus, about the handwriting, god knows that humans need a hardcopy to not forget the exact words and pronunciations (for example) and to stay for future generations.
Dear Brothers en Sisters its unbelieveble to see how you all communicate with each other cursing and saying bad words to each other .first of allif you want something to know what it means in the quran,,GO and find it out before making your own conclusions.about the ayah it dosn't say HIJAB it says GUMUR,what you should do now is go and find out what the arabs ment by that word don't make your one pic because it fits you,there are maybe many things that we may not find fitting in our lives,but that is live ,sooo is the deen of ALLAH.HE knows better whats good for you and whats not.And Please don't fight or curse each other that will not help in any way.If you like it ,you take it but if you do not like it then it is your own Aagirah you are creating.One thing,,before i leave you all.Please Brothers and Sisters if you don't know the Arabic language then PLEASE don't say,,,But the quran says this or that or that it dos not say this or that.maybe you think that is is something small but believe me it is not by saying something like that you actualy make it Allah word(Think about that)so if you really want to know something GO and really make an avert to really want to know what it really means.May Peace be with all of you and in all of you.
As-salaamu aleikum. Thank you for uploading this video. I cannot tell you how much I have benefited from Brother Nouman Ali Khan's lectures. Alhamdulillah that we have the Internet and its resources, and that we have among us in the Ummah such people as Brother Nouman and Sister Yasmin Mogahed.
right, but "hijab" does not mean headscarf. and the Quran says women must cover their breasts and privates. you must have hijab (modesty) in your actions, clothing, attitude and lower your gaze. but there is nothing that says "cover your hair".
***** they got it from tribal traditions that are not in Islam, and they are trying to change the meaning to suit how they want people to be. They want women to cover their hair, so they interpret it the way they wish it was. It's not fair to women or society or even Islam. But they are doing it anyway.
Oh I have plenty of knowledge. So far, NO ONE has been able to show me where in Qu'ran it says you have to cover your hair. I'll quote the ONLY verse for hijab for you. "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their covers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands,"
Sister , in Surah An Nur Allah used the Word 'KHIMAAR' in arabic which is translated in my eng Qur'an as Headscarf.... KHIMAAR literally means 'a cloth that covers the hair' ...and please watch the video i commnted the link of..... no problem if you dont know... but if you are truthful to yourself then you will watch this video ..... If you dislike covering your head , May Allah grant its love deep inside your heart but pleasseeeeee it is nlt fair tl write something u r not sure of.... it causes corruption in the society....
+Fariha Ali No! Khimaar has not that mean. This is "public etymology", not the real etymology. It's unbelievible that muslims beleive that weak arguments of the truth-screeners.
@@user-ue4fh5mv9s It’s more of an admonition or an exhortation and you are all feverish to raise it to some severe level of commandment. Nowhere does it say that women must cover their hair, or that they must cover every last strand of hair. There is even a caveat for “what ordinarily appears thereof.” And some of you still want your women to cover even their face, what nonsense. Allah speaks many times in the Quran about using reason. In the verses in Surah Nur Allah is speaking to Arab women who already wear head coverings when he says “and tell the believing women to… wrap a portion of their headcovers over their chest” We can reasonably conclude that this verse is moreso about covering the chest than it is about covering the head, and this just *makes sense* I am all for women dressing modestly and conservativly, and covering the chest. But when I see a women covering every bit of hair, it’s beyond modest it’s ugly, it’s radical Islamic extremism, and it’s an innovation and not in accordance with the spirit of the text. And it portrays your men as rapists and sexual predators who aren’t going to be able to restrain themselves if they see a woman’s hair. And the more men lower their gaze, the more a moderate or light hijab should suffice. And many of the women who wear hijab aren’t much to look at anyway, maybe it’s better for them, to cover their ugliness.
Absolutely, the Prophets peace be upon them, are the greatest example how to maintain even raise our imaan/faith. Not to mention a lot of of shalih people in the past such as Ashabul Ukhdud, Ashabul Kahfi, or Sahabah of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. They had gone through much much more a rough patch, turbulence and hardship than a lot of us. Our life is short lived, don't waste time to questioning Allah's command. May Allah guide and protect us all.
+A Random Person it's petty because these are people dictating what God says, and scholars are often tools of subversive political regimes. people are being murdered, and fabric on the head is the focus? I know Saudi/Israeli interests when I see them. smh
UmmIhsanAhmed "people are being murdered, and fabric on the head is the focus?" So because there are bigger issues happening in the world, we should just deflect all smaller issues? I don't understand your logic. If you're longing for a video where the primary focus is people "being murdered" then search it up on UA-cam. *Shrug*. Here, he is addressing a common issue among many Muslim sisters, which is not wearing the hijab, an obligatory act for women in Islam.
Nowhere in the Qur'an does it mention the hijab. So your argument firstly is very stupid, you should be telling that girl, if you agree with Islam, and it's core beliefs, you are welcome to Islam!
tasnima uddin “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 husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants 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 you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31). “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59) Hadith - Abu Dawud, Narrated Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi The Apostle of Allah (saw) was brought some pieces of fine Egyptian linen and he gave me one and said: Divide it into two; cut one of the pieces into a shirt and give the other to your wife for veil. Then when he turned away, he said: And order your wife to wear a garment below it and not show her figure.
shahed khan The first one, I've read already, it always tells men to LOWER THEIR gaze, and dress modestly aswell. This paragraph tells us to guard our modesty. Nowhere does the Qu'ran explicitly command women to wear a hijab, although there are a few verses that some Islamic scholars interpret as implicitly requiring it.
look...if you dont want to be a part of Islam...then dont be..islam doesnt need you and neither does Allah. But pls dont give muslims a bad name by inviting fitnah for yourself and showing it to others......since u dont wear hijab...im assuming u dont pray..if u dont pray..how can u call urself a muslim?
Very fertile ground for extremists, your arguments here, Ali Khan. I am sure ISIS also believes they follow Islam submissively and faithfully, even when they kill other Muslims... Are they, or are they not of pure faith, Ali Khan?
Brother if you know your following Islam you go to their foundation of belief which is the Holy Quran. If they are following the Quran they are muslims. If not they are not muslims. They Quran never ever says to kill innocent people chop off heads etc.
Brother, I do not accept this argument which is circular and illogical. Extremist read the same texts, they define " innocence" perhaps differently, but they read and follow the same text. If they were in the room with you, with only Muslims present, would you and they agree? I think you would!
Brother the Quran is easy to understand just like the text says that Allah has made this book easy to understand. The extremists are very illogical they'll pull a verse completely out of context and just use it for their benefit. If you are a learned man anyone will know this. Nobody should speak about a subject they have no knowledge of. This is why I say ignorance is the biggest problem in this world. With regards to whether I will agree, no I would not. If they say the Quran says to kill anyone who's not muslim I will tell them to provide their evidence which they wont be able to do and I will counter their belief with the verse from the Holy Quran which says if you have killed an innocent human being it is as if you have killed all of human kind.
r3pect4p1mp Friend, I am learned and have read the Qur'an. Context is very difficult as it is not a sequential and co- joined whole. It is dis-jointed and coherent only piece by piece. If you have actually read the Holy Qur'an you know that it does not read in a coherent "plot " like manner moving in a temporal sequence from start to finish. I liken it to the, " Meditations " of Marcus Aurelius in that manner. Nonetheless, Islamic scholars have suggested that passages may be ranked in order of importance according to their position in the text, presumably on the temporal order of revelation. They therefore credit more importance to the later passage's than the earlier ones. It is , perhaps, of some importance that the humanity passages occur early, and the violent jihadist passages later. Anyway, what I find invariably is that this very argument is always shut down by extremist's by simply saying, " You are not a real Muslim. You do not follow the Shari'a. " This is, of course, the same argument about the hijab that the honored speaker makes, namely sisters out of compliance are" not real Muslims. " That was my point.
this is the thing ... these days people have created their own interpretations about islam... which they claim to be true ... if a person has read the Quran he might think a thousand times before killing someone even during a war... this is the problem with the muslims that they follow ISLAM according to their environment, We muslims have not enough time to hold the Quran open it and read it... ISLAM is not what Muslims do... Islam is what MUSLIMS are supposed to do... peace to you mate...
So once upon a time I told my parents that MAYBE I MIGHT reconsider wearing the hijab because of the new knowledge I know about how men for hundreds of years would translate and not let women translate themselves and that hijab means modesty and not to cover your hair. Anyway I said I might not wear it when I'm older (I started wearing it in first grade o.o) and I got yelled at and was called the devil, not a REAL muslim, all that stuff. One day I was with my Dad in a car and I was wearing a skirt and a sweater that wear both very loose with my 4a hair out (cause need to let it breathe after being in a 'hijab' all day. A girl walked by with a tight but long western dress and a clear black fabric with her neck and collar bones showing and her ears slightly out with giant hoop earrings (nothing wrong with that she can wear what she wants) and my Dad had the nerve to say she dressed more modest than me even though she looked like she was about to go to a club. Honestly some uneducated muslims don't care about a muslim woman's morals or how modest she is unless she covers her hair (covering a woman's hair isn't even in the quran lol read it). I say this as a modest muslim women who decides for herself when to cover my hair or not.
the Quran does command us to cover ourselves from head to toe. while the niqab is a disputed matter, covering the hair isn't please watch this sister, it will benefit u in sha Allah if u want to know what the Quran actually says ua-cam.com/video/AALgGKSnU2g/v-deo.html
islam Rashid Islam is neither peaceful nor a religion: it is the cult and ideology of a man of hatred & violence toward all who would not follow him. The Quran, Hadith, Seera and history of Islam from hijra to the present day are replete with violence. The only "peace" that Islam envisages is between fellow muslims and when Islam has exterminated all other cultures and beliefs and dominates the world. When they are not fighting non-muslims, muslims are fighting each other. Islam also permits its followers to lie about Islam and Muhammadans (Muslims) are indeed the most shameless egregious and prolific liars and hypocrites on earth.
IrreverendSister im sorry but what you have studied from is wrong. Please, give me 1, JUST 1 thing about islam which is wrong or not peaceful. And if it appears to go against peace, with the will of Allah I will explain to you how it doesn't. The only reason Islam is the religion people look down upon is the media. You must have to be thick in the head to think islam is not peaceful. Give me just one thing about islam which wrong.
Junaid Hafiz So who made YOU an expert on Islam? People have looked down on Islam for 1432 years because they study quran, sahih hadeeth, tafseer & seera and see how these influence the obnoxious behaviour of muslims everywhere they set foot.
IrreverendSister yes people look down on islam. And thats how it's gna be till the end of time because there will always be people that look down on islam. But can you give me 1 reason to why you look down on islam, or why everyone else should?
Junaid Hafiz Here are 636 reasons why people should look down on Islam: - The Quran has 527 verses of hate-speech & intolerance against non-muslims and 109 verses that specifically advocate violence against non-muslims. Throughout its 1432 year history, Islam has consistently been the most intolerant, violent, enslaving & genocidal belief system in human history - and continues so today. The self-styled "Prophet of Islam" was a bandit, murderer, sadist, slaver, sexual pervert and serial rapist. He is regarded by his demented followers as "the perfect Muslim" to be imitated in all things down to the smallest details.
I understand, either abide by our rules or you're not in. ... I haven't left Catholicism because I see no reason to leave it. ... Because the speaker is good, I gave the video a thumbs up.
It is one of the few talks from nouman ali khan that i do not resonate with. I believe it is very difficult to understand the hijab issue from a male perspective. I believe it remains an interpretation, a point of view that is shared regarding the issue and therefore not something i agree with. I eould much rather talk to othe women about it than having men discussing it. Also hijab is a very sensitive issue nowadays because of the assimilation that is widespread between terrorists, extremists and muslims. Now i personally dont wear a hijab, because faith is very dear to me and i feel like exposing myself to hate and criticism when i wear it. It seems to me that i am showing something very private and precious to the world that not everyone has to know about me. I find that people can be downright rude and very intrusive when it comes to islam, as if they had every right to question and judge you even if they just met you.
+AnAsTaSiAwEnTwOrTh So what if I, as a woman, gave that exact same speech? I agree with everything he's said. Furthermore, nearly all scholars from history until today agree that hijab is fardh. That includes women. This is because of a) the word 'khimr' which is used in Surah an-Nur, referring to the cultural head covering and b) Interpretations of the sahabas such as Ibn Abbas (who the Prophet pbuh prayed to have good understanding of the Qur'an) and Ibn Mas'ud. I live in London and interact with non-Muslims every time I leave the house. I've been told by them that they really don't think anything when looking at women with hijab. We shouldn't hide our Islam, rather we should embody it to show people what Islam truly is. We shouldn't have to alter Allah's commands for those who reject Him. And stating that hijab is fardh doesn't mean I'm judging you. It's the same as saying alcohol is haraam. You may wear hijab and be a much better Muslim than me. When people say 'don't judge me' I think, how are we meant to help each other then? If you see a fault in me, let's talk about it. If someone says 'hey, you should wear hijab' it doesn't mean they're judging you so don't use that phrase as a cop out. Yes, sometimes people do get judgy but maybe it would be better for you to think better of them and view it as them trying to help you. Try and help them back! If they say it harshly, say 'the Prophet always advised people gently.'
my dear, dear sister...Islam only came to you today because there where people before you whom took the criticism and the criticism only increased in them their eman.certain Sahaba RA where beaten only because of their religion.it is a struggle sister, I wear the hat and the Jubba in public and I've gotten pushed and targeted by ignorant people, so I as a brother Can relate, but as my eman increased i started to feel sorry for them beacuse they didn't know. trust me, its when you decide to struggle and strive for what you believe in Allah will increase your eman. DONT GIVE UP. Allah believe in you, now all you have to do is believe in yourself
He says, then Allah makes one TINY LITTLE REQUEST - "leave your family alone in the desert"? Talk about tiny little requests! And this guy knows nothing about psychology - you can't try to scare people into following their religion and wearing veils, etc.
He wasn't trying to scare anyone. He was retelling a famous story of Prophet Abraham (peace be unto him) ' Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested ' Quran 29:2
You don't understand my point. My point is that what God was asking of Abraham was not a tiny little thing. And that trying to psychologically scare women into wearing veils by threatening them that they aren't true Muslims if they don't, and by making them feel bad, is not only a silly tactic, but also tends to backfire.
"tiny little request"...lol..he did not mean that literally!. The point that he was trying to make was that our role models in Islam can make huge sacrifices for Allah without complaining yet we complain about wearing hijab. The brother was trying to explain to the sisters who think hijab is not important, picking and choosing what they want from Islam..I agree that hijab is not easy for many women but to say it's not important is wrong. We might not understand all the reasons for wearing hijab but we must understand that Allah knows best! May Allah guide us all. Ameen.
Brother Nouman is speaking under the assumption that hijab is obligatory and cannot be questioned when hair is never explicitly mentioned in Quran, and interpretations from the time go on to say the hair must be covered. I think men have made hijab a fundamental aspect of Islam and there were no female scholars accepted at the time to counter this. Also, we have to be realistic about the society we live in and have stop blaming women for the actions of men. Hijab also often acts as a barrier in normal everyday interactions, causes loss of employment, affects a woman's self esteem, may be too much to struggle with if one is also facing depression or some other mental illness, etc etc. When men are not shamed for not dressing Islamically and women are -this is valid to question. Patriarchy is not a fundamental aspect of Islam. And Allah knows best.
Actually, hijab is required. How does it act as a barrier in normal everyday interactions, causes loss of employment, and affects a woman's self esteem? If a women is wearing the hijab and close with allah she will not be depressed. See Sura- Al noor
Actually I disagree with what you said because I wear a hijab and a hijab doesn't stop me from being anything that is acceptable in islam it doesn't reduce my self esteem because if it does then you need to re- evaluate why you wear it and it just makes you a better person. It just helps you to lower your gaze etc and become a better muslim
You are not allowed to tell women who do not wear hijab that they are less than those who wear hijab. You are wrong. You have no right to judge. Women who wear hijab oy show they are nice muslim do a lot of wrong too.
How strange that God would create a man and woman - with desires - and then tell the women to cover themselves up - so as not to incite lust in the man ! WHY CREATE MAN WITH UNCONTROLLABLE LUST IN THE FIRST PLACE??? Why give women hair- only to tell them to cover up??? Absolute nonsense! If anything, it shows that either this edict to 'cover up' is man- made - or God made a mistake in our physiology.
Dearest he told men to lower their gaze first and then he told women to cover up and lower their gaze because yes they are responsible for their gaze but you are responsible for what you give them to stare at. Its a form of protection for us women because Allah swt knows some men have no hayaa and he mentioons the wisdom behind the hijab If you read you will find out Hope it helps Peace out
Me Myself And I Thanks. But I don't get why god would give us eyes to see and then tell us to lower our gaze. Sounds like complete and utter nonsense to me. There is beauty around the world in flowers and animals and sunsets - and there is beautiful music and paintings and art and sculptures created by like Mozart, Beethovan, Shankar Jaikishan, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Constable etc .....and though 'god' gave these geniuses the talent to create beauty, he then says it is wrong to listen to music and to paint images. It is like cooking a lovely meal, putting it in front of someone and telling them - you MUST NOT eat that food. Nonsensical.
Bismillah rahmani raheem Okay from what i know the situation of music and paintings is different to the situation of animals and Allah (swt) other creations Does that make sense so far 😀 With nature such as plants and animals there is no sin at looking them because they aren't haram for us rather it is a blessing Do you get what i mean because i am very rubbisj at explaining 😂 Where as with music and paintings if i am to be very honest with you music today is very vulgar They percieve women as objects the next time you listen to music think about the lyrics. It removes your moral sense. Life is a test to see whom among us is better in deeds. Come on there has to be something after we die. Allah says you die and then you will be raised alive all of us together standing before Allah the almighty.then we will be given our book of deeds that includes every single thing we did. It will be given in our right or left hand. If its in your right hand then by the mercy of Allah you have passed and will be admitted to Jannah If however its in your left then you will wish destruction upon yourself in fear of your punishment - hell fire where you will be burnt alive again and again So guard your self against a day where no one will intercede for anyone else. Believe and do good deeds Hope it helps ✨☝️✨ Anything correct that i said was a gift from Allah and anything that was incorrect was indeed from me and may Allah forgive me.
wtc175 This is the point of obedience ,if you trust the giver the originator, with the choice of the use of the item. just like any other thing the manual tells you how to use, not what you personally think should be done. you feel you know what is good or beautiful, that knowledge belongs only to the maker of the heart, mind, and intellect . We do not even know where these things (heart mind and intellect), originated from or what they were made with or their true essences. we just get them and feel we are better and more superior than the manufacturer because we read a few books or studied something from somewhere, especially from some one who themselves wants only to do their own thing. contrary or destructively to the detrement of others who wants to follow the manual
I am sick & tired of muslim men lecturing & dictating to we women on what we should or should not wear & what we should or should not do. These hypocrites should first look to themselves & the perfection of their own deen.
Leyla al-Aswad Well if you look at him, he's covered his hair so I wouldn't call him a hypocrite lol. He's just conveying the message of Allah. Nobody is forcing you to wear the hijab.
+Usman Ahmad You write "Nobody is forcing you to wear the hijab" - REALLY!!?? - You obviously know NOTHING of my life and do not live where I live. If I did not wear hijab it would go VERY VERY hard for me.
To a true Muslim there is more to 'iman' (faithful practice) than covering ones hair. There is an old adage that: "A beard does not make a Muslim nor a Turban a Sheikh"
You are deliberately lying through your teeth. May Allah destroy you for your lies. There is absolutely no Quranic verse that ever mentions head-covering, nor is there any authentic Hadith that says so (even though I deeply despise hadiths). Watch the Sunni propagandists make the most impressive mental gymnastics by saying the Quran does say wear hijab because of the word “Khimar!!!” But Khimar in Arabic only means “veil” has nothing to do with head covering. So you don’t have to wear head-coverings if it’s putting a burden on you, just make sure you cover your body and shape.
1. This is how I think: I think abt my brain and how amazing it is. I think abt my hands- the skin over the musles which are over the bones. All the arteries nd veins put in such a complicated but systematic way. I think abt my two eyes, and the positioning of my nose - if my nose had been a little higher than its position, it would have blocked my view. I think abt our feelings- the feeling of love, pain, peace, happiness, content. And I can't help myself but think that it can't be on its own.
+al maliki So you get to decide who goes to hell? Or you know who is going to go to hell? Either way you're claiming you have Allahs exclusive knowledge :D (Not to support what Hanisa said, which I totally disagree with Hanisa!)
@laurag1229 To remind myself and my sister :) In verse number 59 in Surah 33: *{O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them [when they go abroad]. That will be better, that so they may be recognized and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.}*
Welcome to Islam, sister! I, too, am an American convert. One thing that I've learned is, not to question things that Allah requires us to do, but to just do them--if I've truly submitted myself to Him. (There is a verse in the Quran which speaks about such matters as the hijab, though, in my ignorance, I can't remember in which sura it is.) At any rate, & not to contradict myself, anything that Allah asks us to do is for our ultimate benefit, though we may not understand how. Peace & joy!
I am a born muslim. When I entered my teenage, I started to question my beliefs and thought that what I have been taught from my childhood isn't necessarily the truth. And praise be to Allah (one God) that I am truly convinced, after my own logic and research, that Islam is the true religion. This is my choice and there is nothing insane about it.
Islam is the best religion and it guides to the right path..I don't see anything wrong to be pure and modest..why it's so important to be like a wild animal half naked and curse and drink become intoxicated and forget mostly forget about who's the father of the kid and etc..Islam guides how to live together and happy in a honest modest pure way..proud to be a Muslim and u call it stuck in it..even Christian catholic guys stare at women in a nasty way and pls don't say tht u have never heard that they ever raped anybody
We all have prejudice. The preacher seemed to be saying that the important thing is surrender to God's will, not our understanding. Would that be a correct interpretation of the lesson?
i have a question,all my life i have done full hijab from head to toe except eyes, but in my husband's family women do full hijab except their face and he wants me to do the same ,i know there are some arguments about covering face among Aalims ,if i don't wear slightest make up ,fragrance ,no visible jewellery or hidden with noise,and cover everything completely in loose plain hijab except hands and face from eyes to chin,whats your opinion about it, i just feel so guilty
Waalaikumussalam sister. In addition to bachamazar's answer, 1. When wearing hijab, put solid niat in your heart, firmly, for the sake of Allah. 2. Then you ask for Allah's help in that matter. "O Allah, the hijab is now part of my practice in obligation to You, let the hijab be and lead me to your blessings in the dunya and akhirah, Amin" In addition, you can add in your du'a "O Allah, let the hijab lead me to peace...etc". Remember, Faith or Iman will always be tested by Him. Wallah u Alam.
I am a convert to islam. when reading the quran and other islamic books I started wearing the hijab. Allah knows who will go on the correct path. I see some comments who dispute to wear or not to wear hijab. As a convert I read and felt it was my duty as a muslim woman to cover my head. For those who were born into islam it is how your family thought you about islam makes you a good muslim. I was chosen as many other converts to Islam to embrace the beauty of this religion. for years before converting to Islam I felt awkward when men would look at me. Allah knew that one day after meeting my husband I will accept islam. Before converting my husband asked me to pray with him. As I followed his prayer I was literally laughing as I was doing it with him. I didn't believe why pray to a god who never listened. Now Alhamdulillah I turn to Allah for everything. He listens and knows what is good for all of us. To my sister's take it from me that covering your head is good for you.
Jazak Allah for sharing this. May Allah bless you and continue to give you hidayat. Ameen.

Great job sister , SUBHANALLAH!
Salaam to you my sister. I am born into a Muslim family. My mom wears hijab but I am so confused and need some help. Can you all please help me and convey why hijab is necessary? I understand why wearing modest clothes are important, but covering hair as well? I've been watching many videos, but I'm really confused. I need some help and guidance. Thanks you so much.
I am a Christian. I started wearing hijab a few months ago. I love it! I love everything it stands for! It brings me closer to my God. And is a reminder and symbol of His constant love and protection over me. I wear it to submit to my God and honor His decrees for me. I love it! I love everything about it!
I wish more of my Christian sisters to realize that we too are called by God to cover our heads and dress modestly. The Christian woman is called to the same modest dress & cover as the Muslim Sisters....
God bless you all!
What a beautiful share Sister. God Bless you always. You are beautfiul Inside and out
+Shizadi Shiz
thank you!
You are so kind =)
God bless you always my my dear Sister.
Sister your way of thinking is so beautiful. Praiseworthy it is. May Allah bless your soul. ☺
+Azmery Hera
Thank you so much for your kind words & encouragment! =)
May Allah bless you abundantly & may you have a wonderfully blessed Ramadan =)
Nice! 👏👏👏
I have struggled to wear the hijab and is still stuggling. I put it on and then for some reason take it off. I pray and try to do everything the right way but the hijab. I want to put it on but im not strong enough to keep it on. Please make dua for me and pls dont judge me
The difference between you and me is that I want to wear it on my free will. No men is forcing me. Unlike you people who are forced by society to walk around naked, starve yourself to death only to impress men and walk around in 10 inch heels to gain their attention. People like you are motivations for me to put it on and trust me, I will. May Allah guide you to the right path and may he make you understand the importance of the hijab.
Kerima kay Who are the "you people" you refer to? - certainly not me. Nobody forces me to walk around naked - & it would not be a very pretty sight if I did - neither do I starve myself, even though the loss of a few pounds would improve my health & fitness. I have never worn 10 inch heels in my life - nor could I - yet in spite of my age & physical imperfections, I manage to have all the male admiration I want:)
I very well understand the importance of the hijab - I wore it for long enough years, perhaps more years than you have been alive. At first no man forced me to wear it either - my problems came when I wanted to take it off.
As I said before: Feel free to wear what you (truly) want to wear - it's no skin off my Black butt.
PS. Ever heard of the Stockholm syndrome?
Miss Martha if what you said is true---That no man forced you to wear it--- then why are you preaching that muslim men are all about dictating women?
If you say who wore the hijab for a long time, are you saying you converted to Christianity now? If you did and thats where you find peace good for you. But why are you still stuck around muslim pages and commenting about others faith? If you go to your own faiths page, you wont see one muslim trying to put down christainity. Ofcourse if you attack, they might fight back but they would never start. Why are you here? Plus can you tell me What does virgin mary wear on her pics? just right above her head. Why is it that nuns are not told to take it off? Hmm... To you your faith and to me mine.
Your right, there is no point arguing with someone who already has her mind made up. All I can say is try to get your facts straight. No muslim women is ever forced into doing anything. And if she is, those men are not following our prophets advices and teachings the right way. Hope you one day understand everything about islam. Peace.
Miss Martha why are you trying to misguide other sisters? I wear the hijab and I am not oppressed or forced to wear it, its my choice what are you going to say about that?
it's not that i don't accept it i confess and im not proud of my shortcoming by not wearing the hijab. i just can't get my mind straight i just want to embrace it so the day that i put it on I won't take it off may allah guide me and everyone like me to the right path ❤
what's up with the title, just because some of our sisters don't wear hijab does not mean they are munafiq.
Mohammad Hijazi Well said, most Muslim woman without scarf are nicer in my oppiniont and can also be better then those with the stupid scarfs. Just my oppiniont.
Mohammad Hijazi when Allah comand to do something Muslim should do it without asking why. Muslim should not question Allah if he or she is not a munafiq. Hijab is without a question a must. Because Allah said it . If you don't ware it thn there is no question that she is a munafiq. It is great sin to disobey Allah.
Alberto Hy Sham
Shut the fuck up.
So a female who wears hijab but misses prayer, wears skin tight clothes and likes to drink is better than a woman who doesnt wear hijab but does none of those other things? You are confused
MrEvldreamr I never said waring hijab and not praying is OK. I was only talking about hijab.. it is Haram to miss a fard.. and the way you are talking It seems like you are more confused thn me.. 😑
It means they do not follow the teachings and commands of Allah and they disobey the verses . You dumbest mind
No one can change anyone, change has to come from within.
Wallahi if our ummah committed only 10% of its time that is being spent by yelling at otherwise pious women for not wearing hijab on how a large part of muslim men have thrown away their deen and responsibilities, are openly having haram relations with women, spend their youth ignoring any advice on how to be a good man by our prophet Muhammad pbuh and then go on to expect a perfect wife without knowing anything on how to be a husband, imagine what doors would open up. If our ummah spent the same amount of time that is being wasted on issues like eyebrow plucking on prevalent issues like honor killings, racism, misogyny within our ummah.
This amazing khutba could very well be a reminder to every one of us, hijabi or not, woman or man. Not covering is not the only way to disobey Allah swt. So why is the title "A message for non hijabi sisters" when it could be "A message to muslims who are choosing to disobey Allah"?
dumb feminist alert fyi: bitch this is not a buzzfeed video
Cutie Zalbu Assalamu Alaikum, as a fellow Muslim I'm sure you are aware that the holy Qu'ran amd thus our Prophet Muhammad pbuh were a revolution in women's rights in preislamic arabia and thus also have the equality of man and woman as one of their many objectives. Feminism (meaning the fight for equality of the sexes) is an islamic principle, so I am humbled by your compliment. I am aware this is not a buzzfeed, though I see no correlation between that remark and my comment.
I wish you the most of happiness and health, insha'Allah!
Preach!
yes!
Awesome response! Plus I just want to add that a lot of women need time to come to terms with it. It's easier for some, and it's much harder for others. I'm a non-hijabi Muslim, but I'm not saying I never want to do hijab or I disagree with it. I just think that if I forced it on myself or allowed someone to force it on me before I felt like I was ready for it, I would only come to hate it. And I'm not making this up to justify not wearing it, I happen to personally know so many Muslim girls who feel the same. I know of girls who wear hijab in front of their families, but as soon as they're in some place where they can get away with it, they take their hijabs off. In fact just yesterday I saw two women come into a gym wearing full abaya and hijab, and they went into the changing rooms and came out wearing crop tops and tights and of course, no hijab. I think it's grievously unfair to judge a Muslim woman, and her deen, by whether she's wearing hijab or not. Only Allah knows about people's struggles, we as humans are in no position to pass judgement on anyone. I also want to add, if you see a woman and she isn't wearing hijab, she still deserves the same respect as one who is. So many Muslim men need to be taught this. Just because her head isn't covered doesn't mean you have permission to openly gape and stare. Sure she could make it easier by dressing more modestly, but you don't know that it's hard for her to put the hijab on. It's a battle for both sexes, plus, it's much easier to look away than commit to something lifelong.
alhamduliAllah I have started with hijab again
👍
May Allah bless you and keep you steadfast, amiin. 😊

Masha Allah
Islam is a journey-if there is someone who doesn't accept something, they will insha' Allah accept and understand.
I love this....I just came to Islam in July 2012 and Use to be a christian....Watching this made me cry cause learning I had to not wear nail polish and give many things up that seem sooo normal...it was hard but I am willing to give up anything for my Deen and My Lord....Nowing that it gets me Closer to My Lord...Ameen
I’m a new Muslim so I understand the struggle of the process. It gets easier when you’re doing it for only one reason. May Allah reward you for your efforts
lets not forget: hijab isnt just a piece of cloth you wear on your head....
Maybe you should lower YOUR gaze instead of telling women to cover up? A guy talking about women wearing hijab smh
maybe you should follow the commands of God ?
Allah says:
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.” [al-Nur 24:31]
This is one of the lectures that is like timeless treasure.
Love how everyone thinks they know better than the Ustadh. He is a learned person and what qualifies you to say what is and what isn't. If you don't like it remove yourself. He is only trying to guide you towards the truth. Some of you wouldn't even know it even if it slapped you in the face.
learned according to kosher/halal sponsored certification. he even admits this publicly in another video
Muhsin Ahmed
Muhsin Ahmed that he learned doesnt mean he is better than others or special
Proud to be in Islam
Proud to be a Muslim
Proud to be a hijabi
Proud to be a Muslim
And so on proud to be in grace of Allah 😉😊😊😍
We should not Look at whar others do and take them as an exemple . if Allah says so , then we Just do as he says . period.
Ma Sha Allah, great talk as usual by Br. Nouman
True beauty belongs to those who guard their beauty in my opinion.
The beauty does not lie in the face, hair, or body of a person. It lies in their brain, their intellect, and their personality. Sure, we're caught by the physical features, but we know that we'll divorce the person if we're not attracted to their personality. That's a matter of fact.
True beauty can occur in anyone. Not just people who guard their beauty.
No mam ur wrong beauty is in the inside and we don't need to hide it lf l was hijabi l will definitely chose not to wear hijab cause l want to show people my beauty not wear a stupid hijab.
@@gauravsneha1130 "stupid hijab" that's quite offensive for one to say
If you are doing this out of ignorance"May Allah Guide You"
if some difficulty is preventing you from wearing Hijab"May Allah ease your difficulties"
If you are doing this on purpose or lack of commitment"May Allah forgive you of your wrong doings and guide you to the straight path"
Ameen
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “O ‘Aaishah! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.” (Bukhaari)
I so want to wear a hijab right now. I always use to think will I look ugly( yes I have acne and my hair is the only thing that makes me look not disgusting). Will people accept me if I go to study in overseas? Will I get admission in a good university?? But nowI am thinking hey how am I Muslim if I do not know how to sacrifice? I don't care about my life because I know Allah will reward me.
Do not think Hijab makes a women ugly. In my view and for many brothers, Modesty is the most attractive beauty.
Let me tell you one thing, get good grades but never forget to pray and make dua so that hijab will not make you uncomfortable around people. The ONLY reason you go to college is to study, take notes, get good grades and then go back home.
Do not feel ugly in hijab, maybe you look ugly to people, but you are beautiful in the eyes of ALLAH SWT 😊
I love wearing my hijab it makes feel closer to Allah when I am saying my prayers
Just in awe of everything he says. SubhanAllah

My dearest Sister! Congratulations for this big step! Islam is truly a beautiful, peaceful way of life. It gives sense to everything in life. I am really happy for you.
I'm Muslim and I'm having a problem with a brother trying to make me wear my hijab! it's not that I don't want to wear my hijab it's because my family is Christian and I don't want them punishing me and harshly judging me for being muslim

*So that means a woman can be the best person on earth but as long as she doesn't wear the hijab. Everything is over for her???*
i love my hijab alhamdlillah ...May Allah guide us all to the right path ameen
Hijab is a blessing my dear,
I can tell you this from my personal experience. Because I wear hijab, muslims stop and greet me(Assalamou Aleykoum: its so beautiful to hear! so heart warming. Also, my hijab shows to my classmates and friends that I am devoted to my religion. For this reason, they do not judge me for not joining them in their drinking parties(or things of that sort); they respect me.
Ouh that is just soo inspiring.thank you, Allah. I will wear proper hijab from now on.. :') the beauty of Islam.
it's also very discouraging to hear comments about it from a male (even if a sheikh) as obviously he's not the one will be wearing it so it's easy for him to keep complaining about me not wearing it (yet). in contrast, it's most encouraging when talked through (not ordered) by a veiled female - doing it right and for the reasons behind it (not just for it's a must, coz many wouldn't have worn it if was just sunnah/preferable).
You do it to obey Allah The Almighty. If they wear or not wear is irrelevant.
In all honesty..how on earth does God know and keep track of all the women who cover up?! I find the whole keeping an eye on everything so difficult to comprehend. It makes the whole logic of Islam,or any religion quite chomicle...
cassiesmum Allah The Almighty sees the ant under the earth, and everything depends on Him Alone. Nothing is like Him.
Allah The Almighty Have Created Angels to work and check every single human being, and the angels write down every tiny bit of the humans actions.
Those downwritten will be a extremely large book consisting of the humans good and bad deeds.
Its all logical that Allah The Almighty Has infinite power that the human mind can't comprehend.
He created everything, so it is totally logical.
Islam is completely based on logic.
+Shadwa Barghash Assalamu Alaykum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh!

SALAMU ALAYKUM SISTERS!!
You know how there is some people in the world who wear hijab and dont wear hijab and those who dont wear hijab is sometimes actually better than those who wear hijab? or vice versa.. of course you dont know anyones intentions. But what if you dont wear a scarf but you dress modestly, your raying 5 times day, you lower your gaze, you do your best to do good but the only thing you dont do is wearing a scarf. Do you go to hell? I mean, can Allah forgive me? I might wear it when i grow up and im in my first year of Uni but its such a big decision for me. Im not forced like some other people, but i have a choice as my parents gave me that choice..My mum doesnt wear the scarf but my sister does.
Jazakalkahyr, thank you.
Mature responses please..!
waleikum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu sister! MashaAllah you're doing everything else you are supposed to do alhamdulillah so you should strive to add on to it by starting to wear hijab and etc ..it's a part of our duty and even when we could be obeying Him in some ways we are also disobeying Him with other ways so we should try our best and obey Him on everything He ordered us to do such as praying, hijab, zakat etc I also wore it by choice Alhamudullillah and still have to work on things..so just aim to obey Allah in shaa Allah. Make He make it easy for you and make He reward you in this life and the next for your efforts. Salam
+rama ndiaye may,may*
Three things:
1. You should Understand that--------, Men should lower their gaze no matter how much self control they may have. and Sisters in Islam should wear Hijab no matter how much pious they are from inside. Because Islam is not just about induvidual, Its also about society, the "larger good of society" and Identity.
2. If you are good from inside, your intentions are good, but you are having hard time wearing Hijab, then i think you should try to be courageous and more obedient towards Allah. ofcourse doing this will be like fighting with your worldly desire. an example : if i am very good in every aspect but not good at controlling my gaze and eyes towards girls, doesn't mean that my other virtues give me the right to do this. I should not stop there. what i should do is fight this urge or wish slowly till i reach to that point where i have total control our my nafs.
3. The best way is to seek help from Allah, make dua, read Quran with translation (if you don't know arabic), try to spend time with more pious people. Only this can give you that courage to solve this your problem.
*May help you and help us all. Amin*
Thank you Both so much. Jazakalhakyr
I'm not exactly sure if the hijab is compulsory but I think it is. Ask yourself why is it such a big decision. If it's a big decision, there must be some big consequences. Having been given the knowledge that it is compulsory (if it is) then you have no reason to object if it is the will of Allah.
-My opinion
Brilliant lecture and hope people gets guidance and become Muslim and forget about pointing mistakes and try to see the truth.. Allahu Akbar ,proud to be a Muslim
If you don't have the intention to wear the hijab , why wear it? If you're not wearing it for Allah (s.w.t) , you're wearing it for no reason. If you're standing infront of Allah (s.w.t) on the day of judgement and Allah tells you that you wore it for nothing cause you wore it for your parents/friends/ the people around you. Islam is about your intention , you not wearing hijab does not mean that it's a free ticket to jahannam. You know that right?
I love my hijab
every time you wear your hijab you are carrying an ayah from the quran.
Who are you Nouman to decide who is kafir and who is not. That is a sin which you committed. Assuming that it really is a fard that would make the person a "ase" or disobedient. Not a kafir. And how many muslim men have staring women in the streets and watching porn? Do you call them kuffar? They are not adhering to their hijab either. I love islam but yeah its seems religous dogma and misogyny just love each other.
make way he addresses women like u in this ... pointing out what somebody else is doing does NOT excuse what Allah has made HARAM for us ... just because we sin too doesn't mean that the lack of hijab isn't sin also .... grow up
he doesn't decide what is and isn't hallal , he says what ALLAH made haram and halal
he said if they leave islam completely...
I wish this video went for longer. But thank you for putting it up! Jazakallah
MashaAllah, jazakAllah khair! Truly Allah has blessed us by making us muslims, alhamdulillah
I get his point
But I also understand that if you're forced into something or do it without intent that DOESNT COUNT
you wear hijab when you're ready for it and willing to do for the right reasons
honestly I am a Muslim girl but don't wear hijab yet but I try to be a good person and Muslim
I do not know why others judge us not hijabi Muslim girls
I've always heard people go
"life is a test"
but who are you to correct my answer
ARE YOU THE EXAMINER GRADING THE EXAM OF MY LIFE?
It hurts to hear this because I am not walking away from anything
I try and I try and it's not enough to please PEOPLE
sorry but what I choose to wear is none of your business
Many women are self conscious or aren't ready for it or comfortable with the idea yet
Or simply just not willing to do it yet
❤
NOWHERE in Quran Allah said Woman said should wear a Hijab...I strongly disagree with the orthodoxy of Islam...We will see when we meet Allah swt 😉

keyboard warriors...keyboard warriors everywhere
True say but who are they to diss Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
It's a manipulative way of expressing and explaining that hijab is a "farida" or not. As a theology student I don't agree on this point with brother Nouman, specially when we as theologian know that the issue of hijab and music is doubtable and there's no concessions between the ulama.
+IbnQhatan Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
The concessions between the 'Ulemaa' was only a while ago when the Muslim countries began to be Westernized, otherwise everybody understood what the Qur'aanic verses meant.
I mean, the Sahabah spoke the same Arabic as the one in the Qur'aan, they were with the Prophet(S) and he explained in many Ahadith what to cover, some were blessed with the understanding of the Qur'aan (read about Abdullah ibn Abbas and what the Prophet(S) said about him).
I find it saddening that people just don't understand that Hijaab is fardh. Same way a man has to cover from his navel to the knee and not wear tight-fitting clothes (many men also forget this!).
I do my best to follow the Qur'aan and Sunnah completely, and I hope everybody else will too. This is why I even said all this, not to be that annoying guy that lectures about hijaab when he isn't modest, I wear my hijaab al hamdulilah.
Agreed! I always felt that is what people who say "I'm spiritual not religious" meant. Yeah... that just means you want to do whatever you want. Still... it's better than being an outright atheist or something. Sometimes you have to take what little good you can and be thankful for it.
So, what may I ask are your religious beliefs, and what careful discussion, planning, comparison & consideration have you done in reaching your decision?
From this clip (and if you dont know the context of what he's referring to in those examples, I respectfully ask please educate yourself before holding an opinion)He's emphasizing obedience to God and trust in Him that what God is telling you to do is good for you, even if you don't know why...although for the hijab the reasons are clear whether or not you choose to accept them. It's like how a parent orders their kid to eat their vegetables and tells the child not to eat that giant bar of chocolate in one day. The child doesn't understand, he doesn't have enough knowledge but he'll find out why eventually.

The thing is that it's not God telling you to do these things. The book was not written by God, it was written by men. Just like all the other holy books throughout history. What is said in them is not the words of God, it's the words of men who claim to know the will of God.
Don't you think it's just a little bit odd how "Gods" instructions for how women need to act is directly beneficial to men? Why would men be so much more favored in these books over women? Surely God wouldn't play favorites would he? Come to think of it, why is God assumed to be a male? The answer is easy. Because males wrote the books. Show me one line of scripture in any holy book that was authored by a female.
+shmeet quran is HANDWRITTEN by man, but words from allah, and words have not been "touched"/edited by Man, unlike the other books of allah. can you deny bible has been edited ?
+Shadwa Barghash
Why would GOD need a mere mortal man through which to communicate with the rest of the humans? I mean, he IS god, right? Why wouldn't he just deliver his messages directly to every individual instead of having someone as a middle-man? Don't you think that GOD is beyond the written word? Surely he doesn't need to communicate through a book.
You sound exactly like everyone else who has been blinded by "religion." Indoctrinated into a belief system that is the only one of truth.
Religion is a scam. It's a tool of mass control that keeps power in the hands of the few. Haven't you ever wondered why god never chooses a woman for these things? It's because women didn't write the books, men did. You can say anything you want to about them, it won't change that fact.
"It's like how a parent orders their kid to eat their vegetables and tells the child not to eat that giant bar of chocolate in one day."
Yes, that is what it's like. The only problem with that example is you have to think of yourself as a child, basically. Not an independent, knowledgeable adult who is capable of taking his/her destiny into their own hands.
+shmeet as a lady myself, I'm telling you that if we kept focusing on such petty (small) nonsense, they wouldn't have been muslim women. Plus, about the handwriting, god knows that humans need a hardcopy to not forget the exact words and pronunciations (for example) and to stay for future generations.
Dear Brothers en Sisters its unbelieveble to see how you all communicate with each other cursing and saying bad words to each other .first of allif you want something to know what it means in the quran,,GO and find it out before making your own conclusions.about the ayah it dosn't say HIJAB it says GUMUR,what you should do now is go and find out what the arabs ment by that word don't make your one pic because it fits you,there are maybe many things that we may not find fitting in our lives,but that is live ,sooo is the deen of ALLAH.HE knows better whats good for you and whats not.And Please don't fight or curse each other that will not help in any way.If you like it ,you take it but if you do not like it then it is your own Aagirah you are creating.One thing,,before i leave you all.Please Brothers and Sisters if you don't know the Arabic language then PLEASE don't say,,,But the quran says this or that or that it dos not say this or that.maybe you think that is is something small but believe me it is not by saying something like that you actualy make it Allah word(Think about that)so if you really want to know something GO and really make an avert to really want to know what it really means.May Peace be with all of you and in all of you.
Funny that people who believe in stoning an adulterer to death, regardless of circumstances, are unhappy about "bad" words.
As-salaamu aleikum.
Thank you for uploading this video.
I cannot tell you how much I have benefited from Brother Nouman Ali Khan's lectures.
Alhamdulillah that we have the Internet and its resources, and that we have among us in the Ummah such people as Brother Nouman and Sister Yasmin Mogahed.
Can someone please explain me what clothing has to do with obeying Allah?
right, but "hijab" does not mean headscarf. and the Quran says women must cover their breasts and privates. you must have hijab (modesty) in your actions, clothing, attitude and lower your gaze. but there is nothing that says "cover your hair".
***** they got it from tribal traditions that are not in Islam, and they are trying to change the meaning to suit how they want people to be. They want women to cover their hair, so they interpret it the way they wish it was. It's not fair to women or society or even Islam. But they are doing it anyway.
+Sarah Bouachir please don't recommend something that you have no knowledge about.
Oh I have plenty of knowledge. So far, NO ONE has been able to show me where in Qu'ran it says you have to cover your hair. I'll quote the ONLY verse for hijab for you. "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their covers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands,"
Sister , in Surah An Nur Allah used the Word 'KHIMAAR' in arabic which is translated in my eng Qur'an as Headscarf.... KHIMAAR literally means 'a cloth that covers the hair' ...and please watch the video i commnted the link of..... no problem if you dont know... but if you are truthful to yourself then you will watch this video ..... If you dislike covering your head , May Allah grant its love deep inside your heart but pleasseeeeee it is nlt fair tl write something u r not sure of.... it causes corruption in the society....
+Fariha Ali No! Khimaar has not that mean. This is "public etymology", not the real etymology. It's unbelievible that muslims beleive that weak arguments of the truth-screeners.
I also, love everything about Islam except Hijab. I hate hijab.
why ? i mean it is a command of Allah
@@user-ue4fh5mv9s It’s more of an admonition or an exhortation and you are all feverish to raise it to some severe level of commandment.
Nowhere does it say that women must cover their hair, or that they must cover every last strand of hair. There is even a caveat for “what ordinarily appears thereof.” And some of you still want your women to cover even their face, what nonsense.
Allah speaks many times in the Quran about using reason.
In the verses in Surah Nur Allah is speaking to Arab women who already wear head coverings when he says “and tell the believing women to… wrap a portion of their headcovers over their chest”
We can reasonably conclude that this verse is moreso about covering the chest than it is about covering the head, and this just *makes sense*
I am all for women dressing modestly and conservativly, and covering the chest. But when I see a women covering every bit of hair, it’s beyond modest it’s ugly, it’s radical Islamic extremism, and it’s an innovation and not in accordance with the spirit of the text.
And it portrays your men as rapists and sexual predators who aren’t going to be able to restrain themselves if they see a woman’s hair.
And the more men lower their gaze, the more a moderate or light hijab should suffice.
And many of the women who wear hijab aren’t much to look at anyway, maybe it’s better for them, to cover their ugliness.
You’re trying to act like a whore? lol
But what has the hair has to do something about it how does hair is seductive?
Absolutely, the Prophets peace be upon them, are the greatest example how to maintain even raise our imaan/faith. Not to mention a lot of of shalih people in the past such as Ashabul Ukhdud, Ashabul Kahfi, or Sahabah of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. They had gone through much much more a rough patch, turbulence and hardship than a lot of us. Our life is short lived, don't waste time to questioning Allah's command. May Allah guide and protect us all.
Dude, who cares if you put fabric on your head or not? So petty.
Allah teaches it, so what is so petty about it? How is it petty?
+A Random Person Just ignore this person and leave to Allah.
lonesomedovepk You are correct.
+A Random Person it's petty because these are people dictating what God says, and scholars are often tools of subversive political regimes. people are being murdered, and fabric on the head is the focus? I know Saudi/Israeli interests when I see them. smh
UmmIhsanAhmed "people are being murdered, and fabric on the head is the focus?"
So because there are bigger issues happening in the world, we should just deflect all smaller issues? I don't understand your logic. If you're longing for a video where the primary focus is people "being murdered" then search it up on UA-cam. *Shrug*.
Here, he is addressing a common issue among many Muslim sisters, which is not wearing the hijab, an obligatory act for women in Islam.
Nowhere in the Qur'an does it mention the hijab. So your argument firstly is very stupid, you should be telling that girl, if you agree with Islam, and it's core beliefs, you are welcome to Islam!
{And when you ask [the Prophet’s wives] for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen} (Al-Ahzab 33:53)
Yeh cos taking small sentences out of context really justifies your point.
tasnima uddin “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 husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants 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 you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)
Hadith - Abu Dawud, Narrated Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi
The Apostle of Allah (saw) was brought some pieces of fine Egyptian linen and he gave me one and said: Divide it into two; cut one of the pieces into a shirt and give the other to your wife for veil. Then when he turned away, he said: And order your wife to wear a garment below it and not show her figure.
shahed khan The first one, I've read already, it always tells men to LOWER THEIR gaze, and dress modestly aswell. This paragraph tells us to guard our modesty. Nowhere does the Qu'ran explicitly command women to wear a hijab, although there are a few verses that some Islamic scholars interpret as implicitly requiring it.
look...if you dont want to be a part of Islam...then dont be..islam doesnt need you and neither does Allah. But pls dont give muslims a bad name by inviting fitnah for yourself and showing it to others......since u dont wear hijab...im assuming u dont pray..if u dont pray..how can u call urself a muslim?
May Allah give you strength and increase your iman
This is nothing else than the TRUTH ! JazakAllahu khayr Ustadh Numan
Very fertile ground for extremists, your arguments here, Ali Khan. I am sure ISIS also believes they follow Islam submissively and faithfully, even when they kill other Muslims... Are they, or are they not of pure faith, Ali Khan?
Brother if you know your following Islam you go to their foundation of belief which is the Holy Quran. If they are following the Quran they are muslims. If not they are not muslims. They Quran never ever says to kill innocent people chop off heads etc.
Brother, I do not accept this argument which is circular and illogical. Extremist read the same texts, they define " innocence" perhaps differently, but they read and follow the same text. If they were in the room with you, with only Muslims present, would you and they agree? I think you would!
Brother the Quran is easy to understand just like the text says that Allah has made this book easy to understand. The extremists are very illogical they'll pull a verse completely out of context and just use it for their benefit. If you are a learned man anyone will know this. Nobody should speak about a subject they have no knowledge of. This is why I say ignorance is the biggest problem in this world. With regards to whether I will agree, no I would not. If they say the Quran says to kill anyone who's not muslim I will tell them to provide their evidence which they wont be able to do and I will counter their belief with the verse from the Holy Quran which says if you have killed an innocent human being it is as if you have killed all of human kind.
r3pect4p1mp Friend, I am learned and have read the Qur'an. Context is very difficult as it is not a sequential and co- joined whole. It is dis-jointed and coherent only piece by piece. If you have actually read the Holy Qur'an you know that it does not read in a coherent "plot " like manner moving in a temporal sequence from start to finish. I liken it to the, " Meditations " of Marcus Aurelius in that manner. Nonetheless, Islamic scholars have suggested that passages may be ranked in order of importance according to their position in the text, presumably on the temporal order of revelation. They therefore credit more importance to the later passage's than the earlier ones. It is , perhaps, of some importance that the humanity passages occur early, and the violent jihadist passages later. Anyway, what I find invariably is that this very argument is always shut down by extremist's by simply saying, " You are not a real Muslim. You do not follow the Shari'a. " This is, of course, the same argument about the hijab that the honored speaker makes, namely sisters out of compliance are" not real Muslims. " That was my point.
this is the thing ... these days people have created their own interpretations about islam... which they claim to be true ... if a person has read the Quran he might think a thousand times before killing someone even during a war...
this is the problem with the muslims that they follow ISLAM according to their environment, We muslims have not enough time to hold the Quran open it and read it...
ISLAM is not what Muslims do...
Islam is what MUSLIMS are supposed to do...
peace to you mate...
Eh.
Women wear the headcover to please God, not men.
Salams
Can I plz re upload this?
I'm not muslim but I find this guy cool to listen to :)
So once upon a time I told my parents that MAYBE I MIGHT reconsider wearing the hijab because of the new knowledge I know about how men for hundreds of years would translate and not let women translate themselves and that hijab means modesty and not to cover your hair. Anyway I said I might not wear it when I'm older (I started wearing it in first grade o.o) and I got yelled at and was called the devil, not a REAL muslim, all that stuff. One day I was with my Dad in a car and I was wearing a skirt and a sweater that wear both very loose with my 4a hair out (cause need to let it breathe after being in a 'hijab' all day. A girl walked by with a tight but long western dress and a clear black fabric with her neck and collar bones showing and her ears slightly out with giant hoop earrings (nothing wrong with that she can wear what she wants) and my Dad had the nerve to say she dressed more modest than me even though she looked like she was about to go to a club. Honestly some uneducated muslims don't care about a muslim woman's morals or how modest she is unless she covers her hair (covering a woman's hair isn't even in the quran lol read it). I say this as a modest muslim women who decides for herself when to cover my hair or not.
the Quran does command us to cover ourselves from head to toe. while the niqab is a disputed matter, covering the hair isn't
please watch this sister, it will benefit u in sha Allah if u want to know what the Quran actually says

why are you upsets with Islam?
islam peaceful religion.
Do not listen to media
islam Rashid Islam is neither peaceful nor a religion: it is the cult and ideology of a man of hatred & violence toward all who would not follow him. The Quran, Hadith, Seera and history of Islam from hijra to the present day are replete with violence.
The only "peace" that Islam envisages is between fellow muslims and when Islam has exterminated all other cultures and beliefs and dominates the world.
When they are not fighting non-muslims, muslims are fighting each other.
Islam also permits its followers to lie about Islam and Muhammadans (Muslims) are indeed the most shameless egregious and prolific liars and hypocrites on earth.
IrreverendSister im sorry but what you have studied from is wrong. Please, give me 1, JUST 1 thing about islam which is wrong or not peaceful. And if it appears to go against peace, with the will of Allah I will explain to you how it doesn't. The only reason Islam is the religion people look down upon is the media. You must have to be thick in the head to think islam is not peaceful. Give me just one thing about islam which wrong.
Junaid Hafiz So who made YOU an expert on Islam?
People have looked down on Islam for 1432 years because they study quran, sahih hadeeth, tafseer & seera and see how these influence the obnoxious behaviour of muslims everywhere they set foot.
IrreverendSister yes people look down on islam. And thats how it's gna be till the end of time because there will always be people that look down on islam. But can you give me 1 reason to why you look down on islam, or why everyone else should?
Junaid Hafiz Here are 636 reasons why people should look down on Islam:
- The Quran has 527 verses of hate-speech & intolerance against non-muslims and 109 verses that specifically advocate violence against non-muslims.
Throughout its 1432 year history, Islam has consistently been the most intolerant, violent, enslaving & genocidal belief system in human history - and continues so today.
The self-styled "Prophet of Islam" was a bandit, murderer, sadist, slaver, sexual pervert and serial rapist. He is regarded by his demented followers as "the perfect Muslim" to be imitated in all things down to the smallest details.
btw which sura is he mentioning at the beginning?
I understand, either abide by our rules or you're not in. ... I haven't left Catholicism because I see no reason to leave it. ... Because the speaker is good, I gave the video a thumbs up.
It is one of the few talks from nouman ali khan that i do not resonate with. I believe it is very difficult to understand the hijab issue from a male perspective. I believe it remains an interpretation, a point of view that is shared regarding the issue and therefore not something i agree with. I eould much rather talk to othe women about it than having men discussing it. Also hijab is a very sensitive issue nowadays because of the assimilation that is widespread between terrorists, extremists and muslims. Now i personally dont wear a hijab, because faith is very dear to me and i feel like exposing myself to hate and criticism when i wear it. It seems to me that i am showing something very private and precious to the world that not everyone has to know about me. I find that people can be downright rude and very intrusive when it comes to islam, as if they had every right to question and judge you even if they just met you.
+AnAsTaSiAwEnTwOrTh So what if I, as a woman, gave that exact same speech? I agree with everything he's said. Furthermore, nearly all scholars from history until today agree that hijab is fardh. That includes women. This is because of a) the word 'khimr' which is used in Surah an-Nur, referring to the cultural head covering and b) Interpretations of the sahabas such as Ibn Abbas (who the Prophet pbuh prayed to have good understanding of the Qur'an) and Ibn Mas'ud.
I live in London and interact with non-Muslims every time I leave the house. I've been told by them that they really don't think anything when looking at women with hijab. We shouldn't hide our Islam, rather we should embody it to show people what Islam truly is. We shouldn't have to alter Allah's commands for those who reject Him. And stating that hijab is fardh doesn't mean I'm judging you. It's the same as saying alcohol is haraam. You may wear hijab and be a much better Muslim than me. When people say 'don't judge me' I think, how are we meant to help each other then? If you see a fault in me, let's talk about it. If someone says 'hey, you should wear hijab' it doesn't mean they're judging you so don't use that phrase as a cop out. Yes, sometimes people do get judgy but maybe it would be better for you to think better of them and view it as them trying to help you. Try and help them back! If they say it harshly, say 'the Prophet always advised people gently.'
honey!!! it is okay,leave hijab if u don't want to
+Amaani Ahmed good answer
my dear, dear sister...Islam only came to you today because there where people before you whom took the criticism and the criticism only increased in them their eman.certain Sahaba RA where beaten only because of their religion.it is a struggle sister, I wear the hat and the Jubba in public and I've gotten pushed and targeted by ignorant people, so I as a brother Can relate, but as my eman increased i started to feel sorry for them beacuse they didn't know. trust me, its when you decide to struggle and strive for what you believe in Allah will increase your eman. DONT GIVE UP. Allah believe in you, now all you have to do is believe in yourself
He says, then Allah makes one TINY LITTLE REQUEST - "leave your family alone in the desert"?
Talk about tiny little requests! And this guy knows nothing about psychology - you can't try to scare people into following their religion and wearing veils, etc.
He wasn't trying to scare anyone. He was retelling a famous story of Prophet Abraham (peace be unto him) ' Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested ' Quran 29:2
You don't understand my point. My point is that what God was asking of Abraham was not a tiny little thing. And that trying to psychologically scare women into wearing veils by threatening them that they aren't true Muslims if they don't, and by making them feel bad, is not only a silly tactic, but also tends to backfire.
Kamadev888 Yup, what about if a man does not enforce such stupid rules, they are to be considered as "dayoof" I think, sigh.
"tiny little request"...lol..he did not mean that literally!. The point that he was trying to make was that our role models in Islam can make huge sacrifices for Allah without complaining yet we complain about wearing hijab. The brother was trying to explain to the sisters who think hijab is not important, picking and choosing what they want from Islam..I agree that hijab is not easy for many women but to say it's not important is wrong. We might not understand all the reasons for wearing hijab but we must understand that Allah knows best! May Allah guide us all. Ameen.
sarcasm. do you know about it?
Nothing is perfect in this world. When you realise that truth you will have made a great deal of progress.
This is today's reality pilz everyone make dua for my sister
I wanna hear more WOMEN speak about hijab...
Brother Nouman is speaking under the assumption that hijab is obligatory and cannot be questioned when hair is never explicitly mentioned in Quran, and interpretations from the time go on to say the hair must be covered. I think men have made hijab a fundamental aspect of Islam and there were no female scholars accepted at the time to counter this. Also, we have to be realistic about the society we live in and have stop blaming women for the actions of men. Hijab also often acts as a barrier in normal everyday interactions, causes loss of employment, affects a woman's self esteem, may be too much to struggle with if one is also facing depression or some other mental illness, etc etc. When men are not shamed for not dressing Islamically and women are -this is valid to question. Patriarchy is not a fundamental aspect of Islam. And Allah knows best.
Actually, hijab is required. How does it act as a barrier in normal everyday interactions, causes loss of employment, and affects a woman's self esteem? If a women is wearing the hijab and close with allah she will not be depressed. See Sura- Al noor
Actually I disagree with what you said because I wear a hijab and a hijab doesn't stop me from being anything that is acceptable in islam it doesn't reduce my self esteem because if it does then you need to re- evaluate why you wear it and it just makes you a better person. It just helps you to lower your gaze etc and become a better muslim
Fatima M wrong
somina iqbal what is wrong?
Actually, I disagree too that hijab is required.
the cover of hijab is mentioned in surah annisa..whts ur point?
@TangySweet14 Could you direct me to the surah which backs this up?
You are not allowed to tell women who do not wear hijab that they are less than those who wear hijab. You are wrong. You have no right to judge. Women who wear hijab oy show they are nice muslim do a lot of wrong too.
somina iqbal ....HE said that...for us muslims---when we see a muslim on the outside...we are suppose to say
salaam alaukum warahmutuallha
oh dear..... u seem to b narrow minded
I came here to laugh at this man and people who believe in Hijab!
that's disrespectful
My hijjab is my everything. My pride my jewel .My world .proud to be Muslim. All thanks is to Allah. Love Islam to the core
so you pray and prophesis the whole day? do women pray and prophesis the whole day?
you having your head coverd while prayer?
How strange that God would create a man and woman - with desires - and then tell the women to cover themselves up - so as not to incite lust in the man ! WHY CREATE MAN WITH UNCONTROLLABLE LUST IN THE FIRST PLACE??? Why give women hair- only to tell them to cover up??? Absolute nonsense!
If anything, it shows that either this edict to 'cover up' is man- made - or God made a mistake in our physiology.
Or rather he did this deliberately just to trial a people, just as you may test a student with a difficult question.
Dearest he told men to lower their gaze first and then he told women to cover up and lower their gaze because yes they are responsible for their gaze but you are responsible for what you give them to stare at.
Its a form of protection for us women because Allah swt knows some men have no hayaa and he mentioons the wisdom behind the hijab
If you read you will find out
Hope it helps
Peace out
Me Myself And I Thanks. But I don't get why god would give us eyes to see and then tell us to lower our gaze. Sounds like complete and utter nonsense to me. There is beauty around the world in flowers and animals and sunsets - and there is beautiful music and paintings and art and sculptures created by like Mozart, Beethovan, Shankar Jaikishan, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Constable etc .....and though 'god' gave these geniuses the talent to create beauty, he then says it is wrong to listen to music and to paint images. It is like cooking a lovely meal, putting it in front of someone and telling them - you MUST NOT eat that food. Nonsensical.
Bismillah rahmani raheem
Okay from what i know the situation of music and paintings is different to the situation of animals and Allah (swt) other creations
Does that make sense so far 😀
With nature such as plants and animals there is no sin at looking them because they aren't haram for us rather it is a blessing
Do you get what i mean because i am very rubbisj at explaining 😂
Where as with music and paintings if i am to be very honest with you music today is very vulgar
They percieve women as objects the next time you listen to music think about the lyrics. It removes your moral sense.
Life is a test to see whom among us is better in deeds. Come on there has to be something after we die. Allah says you die and then you will be raised alive all of us together standing before Allah the almighty.then we will be given our book of deeds that includes every single thing we did.
It will be given in our right or left hand. If its in your right hand then by the mercy of Allah you have passed and will be admitted to Jannah
If however its in your left then you will wish destruction upon yourself in fear of your punishment - hell fire where you will be burnt alive again and again
So guard your self against a day where no one will intercede for anyone else. Believe and do good deeds
Hope it helps ✨☝️✨
Anything correct that i said was a gift from Allah and anything that was incorrect was indeed from me and may Allah forgive me.
wtc175 This is the point of obedience ,if you trust the giver the originator, with the choice of the use of the item. just like any other thing the manual tells you how to use, not what you personally think should be done. you feel you know what is good or beautiful, that knowledge belongs only to the maker of the heart, mind, and intellect . We do not even know where these things (heart mind and intellect), originated from or what they were made with or their true essences. we just get them and feel we are better and more superior than the manufacturer because we read a few books or studied something from somewhere, especially from some one who themselves wants only to do their own thing. contrary or destructively to the detrement of others who wants to follow the manual
I am sick & tired of muslim men lecturing & dictating to we women on what we should or should not wear & what we should or should not do.
These hypocrites should first look to themselves & the perfection of their own deen.
Leyla al-Aswad
Well if you look at him, he's covered his hair so I wouldn't call him a hypocrite lol.
He's just conveying the message of Allah. Nobody is forcing you to wear the hijab.
+Usman Ahmad You write "Nobody is forcing you to wear the hijab" - REALLY!!?? - You obviously know NOTHING of my life and do not live where I live.
If I did not wear hijab it would go VERY VERY hard for me.
Usman Ahmad He is coverings his hair on this video ONLY.
the words have been written and the pens have dried...its a commandment from Allah nd not muslim men.wa wan yantiqu anil hawaa illa wahyun yuuhaaa...
To a true Muslim there is more to 'iman' (faithful practice) than covering ones hair.
There is an old adage that: "A beard does not make a Muslim nor a Turban a Sheikh"
Such an eye opening lecture Alhamdullilah for islam ☪️🤲🏼 May Allah keep the ummah firm on His faith 🤲🏼
You are deliberately lying through your teeth. May Allah destroy you for your lies. There is absolutely no Quranic verse that ever mentions head-covering, nor is there any authentic Hadith that says so (even though I deeply despise hadiths).
Watch the Sunni propagandists make the most impressive mental gymnastics by saying the Quran does say wear hijab because of the word “Khimar!!!”
But Khimar in Arabic only means “veil” has nothing to do with head covering. So you don’t have to wear head-coverings if it’s putting a burden on you, just make sure you cover your body and shape.
1. This is how I think: I think abt my brain and how amazing it is. I think abt my hands- the skin over the musles which are over the bones. All the arteries nd veins put in such a complicated but systematic way. I think abt my two eyes, and the positioning of my nose - if my nose had been a little higher than its position, it would have blocked my view. I think abt our feelings- the feeling of love, pain, peace, happiness, content. And I can't help myself but think that it can't be on its own.
Hijab is a waste of time.
+Hanisa Mohamed why?
ur hair is a waste of time
in hell you got alot of time sister
+al maliki So you get to decide who goes to hell? Or you know who is going to go to hell? Either way you're claiming you have Allahs exclusive knowledge :D (Not to support what Hanisa said, which I totally disagree with Hanisa!)
and waste of imaan with waste of modesty too.
What do you think about fashion Hijab with significantly beautiful designs worn by muslim women?
@BasMan26 which part did he say that?
@laurag1229 To remind myself and my sister :) In verse number 59 in Surah 33:
*{O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them [when they go abroad]. That will be better, that so they may be recognized and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.}*
I agree with you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
Is this at Clear lake Islamic center?
Yes lets wear the hijab. And i would like to see a video on lets grow a beard and why and ......everything related ro men in islam.
Welcome to Islam, sister!
I, too, am an American convert. One thing that I've learned is, not to question things that Allah requires us to do, but to just do them--if I've truly submitted myself to Him. (There is a verse in the Quran which speaks about such matters as the hijab, though, in my ignorance, I can't remember in which sura it is.)
At any rate, & not to contradict myself, anything that Allah asks us to do is for our ultimate benefit, though we may not understand how.
Peace & joy!
I am a born muslim. When I entered my teenage, I started to question my beliefs and thought that what I have been taught from my childhood isn't necessarily the truth. And praise be to Allah (one God) that I am truly convinced, after my own logic and research, that Islam is the true religion. This is my choice and there is nothing insane about it.
Very important lecture for all those who want to be extra ordinary moderate muslims.
So what I get is that we should wear it 'cause it's pleasing to our Rabb, following the footsteps of Prophet Ibrahim AS
Islam is the best religion and it guides to the right path..I don't see anything wrong to be pure and modest..why it's so important to be like a wild animal half naked and curse and drink become intoxicated and forget mostly forget about who's the father of the kid and etc..Islam guides how to live together and happy in a honest modest pure way..proud to be a Muslim and u call it stuck in it..even Christian catholic guys stare at women in a nasty way and pls don't say tht u have never heard that they ever raped anybody
We all have prejudice. The preacher seemed to be saying that the important thing is surrender to God's will, not our understanding. Would that be a correct interpretation of the lesson?
this says to be modest, it doesn't specifically say we have to wear hijab, or cover every inch of skin.
i have a question,all my life i have done full hijab from head to toe except eyes, but in my husband's family women do full hijab except their face and he wants me to do the same ,i know there are some arguments about covering face among Aalims ,if i don't wear slightest make up ,fragrance ,no visible jewellery or hidden with noise,and cover everything completely in loose plain hijab except hands and face from eyes to chin,whats your opinion about it, i just feel so guilty
Waalaikumussalam sister. In addition to bachamazar's answer, 1. When wearing hijab, put solid niat in your heart, firmly, for the sake of Allah. 2. Then you ask for Allah's help in that matter. "O Allah, the hijab is now part of my practice in obligation to You, let the hijab be and lead me to your blessings in the dunya and akhirah, Amin" In addition, you can add in your du'a "O Allah, let the hijab lead me to peace...etc". Remember, Faith or Iman will always be tested by Him. Wallah u Alam.
