    If Muslim men cannot cope with women who are not covered up because they cannot control their rampant sexual desires then obviously Muslim men should not be allowed in Western countries where women are not covered up.
    This is a matter of logic and I look forward to the Muslims scholars giving their opinion on this matter.

      mark carey I definitely think the ideology of Muslim men in the Middle East and Muslim men in Western countries are very different. In the Middle East and other Arabic countries, going out without a hijab or any other type of covering is like going out naked. Even men don’t usually wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts. In the west it is different. Woman choose to wear what they want, and are never forced. Diversity is amazing, would you really want to live in a country with only one race and religion?

      It's much less the sexual desires of men and more about the beauty of a woman. The woman is seen as something lovely and a gift to anything around her, so rather than share the gift, her beauty is seen as something that she owns to herself and it's rude to force someone to give themselves away like that. It's the Islamic version of prostitution so to speak? Like if you force a lady to show her face/hair/body then it's considered obscene and awful and definitely not something that's ideal

      @@polybeel5187 Ok I get your point. But I don't think that's all there is to it. The words " The woman is seen as something lovely and a gift..." etc etc does nothing to explain how a woman might feel. Do women have the choice? No they don't. Unless you consider being ostracised, assaulted and possibly threatened with murder an option.

      @@markcarey8426 I'm a niqabi living in the southwestern USA, and my entire family is nonmuslim. There is absolutely nothing and nobody pressuring me into it, and in fact I'm assaulted regularly for wearing it at all. It's because I respect my body and my mind that I don't invest in the useless vanity like fashion and the self obsession people engage in now. I feel it gives me power, happiness and comradery with my fellow niqabis, since I have the freedom to choose if you see my body or how much of it.
      And I do get your point on choice. Not everyone is as lucky as I am, and I can admit that. That isn't Islamic, that's cultural. There are several verses in the Qur'an regarding this practice and it's haram or impermissible. I can cite evidences if you'd like or link to several articles.

    a lor of people wear this in my country Uk. I bought one. it is a great piece of attire. it is water resistant. the rain just rolls off. in Cairo I wore it coming off the plane I was left in peace ro catch my cab. around town I was left in peace to shop and walk. I am a red head so it hid the sun of my sensitive face and body. it kept the sand off my body. it kept the dirt off my clothes. men did not ask me for money. men that looked smiled respectfully. sometimes people judged my white face, they could see from my eyes I was not African. I love my faith and Noone needs to know what my faith is. I wear it when I. feeling shy. it's a private place the body sometimes. and I can sick my tub in there Noone knows or cares. however alot of people around me disagree with me wearing it. I maintain my human right to wear what I want when i want. if I am not doing anyone harm. one thing I find difficult with this style of dress is that it covers the ears, so I could not hear traffic so well or people talking. also crossing roads I found it hard to check for traffic because it creates a blind spot on each side of the face.

    im a muslim, i dont wear niqab or burka, i just simply wear hijab/scarf. i live in malaysia where there is sun all year around. i simply wear the hijab becasue it is what Islam says and I am glad to wear it becasue it keeps me safe from bad eyes and stares. some people ask me, how do i manage to do things with hijab, the answer is simple, i just do it, like any other people. when i swim, i cover my body, when i hike, i cover my body (and head too, of course), just like any other people.
    talking abt the hot wether, well, it is a matter of types of materials that u choose. anyone would never wear leather jacket in a hot humid day, right?

  • @srodriguez8048
    @srodriguez8048 10 років тому +2

    The problem with Islam today is that they put the blame on women, which is in fact contradictory to what Prophet Muhammad practiced and taught. Prophet Muhammad never blamed or stated that women is the cause for sexual deviance.
    Firstly, why don't sheikhs or religious scholars place greater emphasise on men having to lower their gaze? When it clearly states that it's sin for a man to look at a woman with lust, sexual desires or thoughts? Regardless if she's veiled or not. Since, everyone is so gung-ho about Shariah, why aren't men punished for looking at women when the Quran states that he should do eitherwise?
    Secondly, theres a hadith narration regarding Prophet Muhammad turning the face of his male companion 3 times in the presence of a beautiful woman. The Prophet has never once told the woman to cover her face, nor to turn away, nor did he ask her to leave or go away, nor did he blame the woman for causing 'lustful" gaze upon the man. Instead, he turned the face of his male companion 3 times as to not look at her with with lustful gaze.
    Thirdly, another hadith narration was reported at the battlefield when angels descended to greet the matyrs. Prophet Muhammad was noticed to cover his eyes and facing right to left repeatedly. When asked why he did so, he replied saying that there so many angles who came rushing to greet the martyrs, parts of the garments would slid open and expose their thighs and calves. The reason why he closed his eyes was so that he did not see the exposed parts of the angels, and the reason why he repeatedly faced left to right was because the angels were coming in all directions, he did not know where to look.
    This was the character of Prophet Muhammad and what Islam preaches. Unlike the corrupt religious Islamic scholars we see and have today.

    I have some questions about niqab. Let's suppose that you want to meet someone outside. How do they spot you? Don't you breathe the same air so it gets hot? If it's Black doesn't it make your head overheat? Can you wear an abaya and no other clothes under it? If you work as a doctor for example and you all wear the same color coverings how do they know which doctor you are so they can call you?

I just can't stop this feeling, that it's NOT OK, to put half of the population in a "black bag", while saudi men wear white loose robe IF THEY CHOOSE, because then can wear whatever they want.

I have been gathering the articles to try this myself around a Muslim community in my area, since I probably will not get to Cairo. Many other women who have experimented with this at "try a Niqab Day" event in various cities, come away with the opinion that it creates a certain "freedom", anonymity and privacy that they no lo0nger are being stared at or treated like a sex object of meat.
    I would certainly be willing also to give this a try and experience it for myself, without having to be Muslim.

    you are christian and wer niqab ?!! there is no reason to say some thing about jesus to call for him as a god : ) as he him self did not say he is god but he said he is messenger of god like mouses an soliman and he said he is a man : ) and we respect and believe in him as a prophet as Quran told us we have a Sura (verse) about Mary mother of jesus I advice you to read it

    How awkward a woman's life can be just because her 'sexuality' is a problem to everyone else, other men and sometimes other women, so to avoid hassel she covers to this extent. That's the rub: A WOMAN'S SEXUALITY IS EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM BUT HER OWN. Giulia has a pleasing face and what a joy to see. Imagine life if NOBODY's face was visible, even men? I don't want to even imagine that. If Allah found women's faces offensive, he would never have given us one.

    @lampka666 May peace be with you (my greeting to you). The Niqab is a religious clothing not for worn for a man but worn for the woman. If the niqab is worn wrong then yes it will be hard to breath and hard to see. But if worn correctly you will be able to breath as if you have nothing on and be able to see as if there is nothing covering the lower half of the face. The "black, heavy bag" is called a Abaya and it is not heavy nor is it hot or anything of that nature.

    Very interesting video and experience! It's always useful to "walk in someone's shoes" before judging him/her. I can obviously see the annoying aspects of wearing this item of clothing, but I do think that it can be somehow great for women because by wearing it, it "frees" them from all the men that could look at them. And I say this as a man.

    Maybe its just not suitable with you. But you dont have to make such a statement that we didnt feel that sort of hard to breathe. If thats happen how many people die because of the niqab. You ask the hazem to help you but you didnt ask the woman who actually wearing niqab to teach you how to wear those thing in correct ways. How comfort you are with the niqabs is depends on how you tie the niqab actually.

    All I'm trying to say is that Islam tells both men and women to use prevention rather than a cure . If u noticed in Egypt that some practicing men were wearing beards and also covering in modest dress. Islam also requires them to do their part so that u curb the social dangers that ppl being human can fall into. Not all men and not all women r going to use self restrain to stop them selves from their desires .

  • @ChicagoNiqabi

    Salam alaikum :) Nice experiment. I agree that wearing the niqab MUST be a woman's choice. It does have hardships that go along with it, and a woman has to be prepared for those, if she is forced to wear a niqab, then she won't be able to deal with some hardships. I've worn niqab for quite a while now, and you certainly have to be strong to do it.

I’ve been taught that people should dress according to common sense. Don’t cover yourself up if there is a possibility of heat stroke 🥵.

In the Qur'an it states that it is to protect women and our assets. Thank you for your interest in Islam. I hope this helps you to understand us, Muslim women, better.

No. They were said- "your place is in home, and if you choose to go outside, than only with permission of men, and as unvisible, as possible. You find black problematic in hot? Well, hell is hotter:>" Interesting, that in those countries, when women are most covered (Saudi arabia, Yemen, Aphganistan), their right are at the lowest level.

    While praying you shouldn't cover your face - true, didn't say you should. The issue is whether it's ONLY a "cultural thing". Quite simply put - it's not. When the verse in Sura Nisa was revealed about the Jilbaab, the women who heard this, quickly started tearing excess pieces of their clothing in order to cover their face.. Now, the niqab, in public (not whilst praying) isn't Fardh, but it isn't just a "cultural thing" ..and this aint a debate, since by basis is from hadith.. Was Salaam :)

We will become an extinct player in the ongoing cycle of life. Must we end? I do not think it is necessary, if we act accordingly.

    During Christ's trial, the chief priests asked Him point blank, "Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." And He said,
    • "I am." (Mark 14:60-62)
    • "Yes, it is as you say." (Matt. 26: 63-65)
    • "You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:67-70)
    In John's gospel, he recounts Jesus' interview with Pontius Pilate (John 18:33-37). Pilate wanted to know if He were the King of the Jews. Jesus then talked about how His kingdom was not of this world. The truth is, he is King of the whole universe.
