    I am not Muslim, but the thought of someone ripping off someone's head scarf is akin to assault. It is a violation of your privacy. I would be livid if I saw someone do that, and would rush to cover the woman's hair. That is so upsetting.

      For a muslim woman, the feeling of having her headscarf ripped of is like having your shirt torn off. It is assault! Just like there are women in the world that being completelly topless is normal, but it is not theirs to say that women that wears a top should be naked as well. It is a basic human right to choose how much one covers themselfs.

      Absolutely is assault, used to happen to black girls us all the time, being that many black women wrap their hairs just because of cultural styles and that boundary is not always respected.

      Ooh I don’t know that person will feel so unlucky if they did that while I was present.Am Moslem,I cover my hair but I wear the hijab sometimes,the strangest thing is the way people stare am in I kind of forgot that I was wearing it by the way I wear the long one with the hand sleeves.Am very calm,kind and compassionate but there are some things that just makes me so angry and this is one of those cases.I hope that did not happen to youSuhbhanallah.

Or my imaan so low that make me to go out without my hijab. Wear shorts and hoodie. Sometimes, hijab with baju kurung. And baju kurung look thight little bit and this really make my own community turn to a psychopath. They just dont like it. Even got bash when a woman share a picture about makeup on FB. And i saw a comment where a niqabi got instult by a man.
      "The purpose of niqab is to not show yourslef to others. If you upload a video of yourself on YT, then whats the point of wearing niqab, you idiot?"
      And its stupid when some idiot on social media said "Ma Sha Allah, she wear hijab for Allah, but when wear shorts, Astagfirullah, she wear it for men or to atrracts some men"
      And this really make me want to support hijab ban in non muslim country. When India make some law about hijab, i can see Muslim in my country fel so mad, and it still dnt make me fel satisfi. I need more than that.
      I mean, we in our own community ha our own "beauty standard" which we need to "limit" our beauty for others.

It’s is very true how there is the double standard.. why is it ok for certain women to wear those scarves on their head as a fashion statement or for whatever reason but when a Muslim women wears hijab to protect herself, honor her God, etc, it’s suddenly a bad thing? Why is it wrong to not want to show your body off? This world is crazy.

    Based on what has been explained about the Hijab not entirely meaning just a head scarf, but more that relates to purposeful living of a modest life in and out (to my best knowledge)
    Could it then mean that non-muslims who enjoy living modest lives in, and out could wear it too?

    • @TheXs.Official
      @TheXs.Official  3 роки тому +6

      Great question. Although the hijab is not exclusively the headscarf, it must also include the headscarf to fall under the category of hijab. There would be no problem with a non Muslim wearing hijab but “modest” clothes in general would not be defined as hijab without the head scarf etc.
      Hope that makes sense ☺️

    • @quranaffirmations
      @quranaffirmations 2 роки тому +2

      Yes you are right, there is a way to be dressed modestly without wearing hijab. But muslim women wear hijab which is different to dressing modestly. Hijab is a commandment from God. Believing women are told to wear hijab in the Quran and to follow the sunnah so we look to see how the women at the time of the prophet understood hijab and not just go on our own whims and desires. If you want to dress modestly that's fine but to be a muslim means to submit, submit to God's commands and not what 'you think' because everyone thinks differently and if we were all left to do what we think there would be chaos. God has full knowledge why He has commanded certain things and it is very arrogant to think we know better.

    As a Christian who has dressed fully covered, I have some questions.
    1. You said you got to a point where you didn’t even understand WHY you were wearing a hijab. Later on you imply that your why is to preserve your beauty and represent Islam well. I’m wondering what is the spiritual why here as modesty and religious distinction doesn’t necessarily mean spiritual correlation
    2. That leads me to my next question. From a spiritual standpoint do you believe we are justified before God when we are pure and modest in spirit internally or externally ? Does God care for our attire more than what’s in our hearts ?
    3. You mentioned that you can be uncovered around male family members that are off limits for marriage. If those men can look at you uncovered with justness and innocence why is that not then the standard for ALL men of the Islam faith or who value righteousness ? Men are essentially our BROTHERS first before they are potential mates. On the contrary it is very possible for those off limit men to sexually covet an uncovered OR covered woman.
    I do appreciate you sharing your truth though. And I respect your desire to honor God with your body.

  • @AlhamdulillahiRabbalalameen

    Hijab is an Arabic word meaning barrier or partition.
    In Islam, however, it has a broader meaning. It is the principle of modesty and includes behaviour as well as dress for both males and females.
    The most visible form of hijab is the head covering that many Muslim women wear. Hijab however goes beyond the head scarf. In one popular school of Islamic thought, hijab refers to the complete covering of everything except the hands, face and feet in long, loose and non see-through garments. A woman who wears hijab is called Muhaajaba.
    Muslim women are required to observe the hijab in front of any man they could theoretically marry. This means that hijab is not obligatory in front of the father, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children.
    The hijab is to be observed for the sake of Allah Swt (God) and never for another person and should never be forced: there’s no compulsion in our religion and those who force sisters will be held accountable and it’s never condonable.
    Hijab does not need to be worn in front of other Muslim women, but there is debate about what can be revealed to non-Muslim women.
    Modesty rules are open to a wide range of interpretations. Some Muslim women wear full-body garments that only expose their eyes. Some cover every part of the body except their face and hands. Some believe only their hair or their cleavage is compulsory to hide, and others do not observe any special dress rules.
    In the English speaking world, use of the word hijab has become limited to mean the covering on the head of Muslim woman. However, this is more accurately called a khimaar. The khimaar is a convenient solution comprising usually one, but sometimes two pieces of cloth, enabling Muslim women to cover their hair, ears and neck while outside the home.
    Hijab, in the sense of veiling, can also be achieved by hanging a curtain or placing a screen between women and men to allow them to speak to each other without changing dress. This was more common in the early days of Islam, for the wives of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (May peace and blessing be upon him)

IN MY LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE OF BALLET COVERING MYSELF ESPECIALLY AFTER A PERFORMANCE MADE ME FEEL BETTER. DURING THAT TIME I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT WOMEN STUDIES ABOUT THE WAY OF TREATMENT OF WOMENS ALL OVER THE WORLD. I AM FROM THE CARIBBEAN ALS0 (HAITI) AND I ALWAYS WONDER WHY WE ARE SO UNDER VALUED? SO COMPLETELY AGREED WITH WHAT SAID ABOUT WHAT YOU FOUND FEMINE AND WHAT YOU FEEL IS DESERVING OF PROTECTING. WE WERE TOUGHT AT AN EARLY AGE IN AMERICA THAT WOMEN ARE THE WEAKER, LESS VALUED, NEEDTO SHOW MORE TO GET MARRIED, NEED TO BE A CERTAIN SIZE AND EXTRA... YOUR BODY I FEEL BELONGS TO GOD HOW YOU TREAT IT ONLY YOU AND HIM CAN DECIDE, JUST LIKE WHEN YOU OFFER IT TO YOUR HUSBAND YOU ALSO NEED TO TALK TO GOD. SO NO ONE AND MEAN NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANYTHING FROM YOUR BODY WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT OR GOD PERIOD. I AM A 40YRS OLD DIVORCE SINGLE MOTHER WHO IS NOT MUSLIM, BUT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL FOUND COMFORT IN COVERING MY BODY AND SOMETIMES MY HAIR. WHEN I LOST MY GRANDMA IN 2019 I WORE NOT ONLY BLACK CLOTHS AND NURSING UNIFORM, BUT ALSO SCARVES FOR A YEAR FOR MOURNING. NOW TO ALL WHAD SOMETHING TO SAY REGARDING HOW SHE DRESS PLEASE WORRY MORE ABOUT WORLD PEACE, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND STARVING AND SICK CHILDREN PLEASE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO WRITE ALL THAT IF IT DOESN'T MAKES SENSE PLEASE IGNORE.

After all those years i understood finally that when i was in a mix culture (that wasn't all the time related to religion or "MY" religion at the time, i was free) and it's where i finally look around me and saw that most religious people do not do it "vertically" ( for a higher "purpose " or their god(s) ) but do it "horizontally" for the people around them, becuse of the look of the familly or friends, the critics etc. Just to avoid it and "be" like everyone else around.
    Just my experience obviously but i feel much free now that i stop believing and more focus on myself, the present moment and the "humanity" part of ourselves.

    Thank you for sharing. I loved how you explained this topic so that I could understand. I agree everyone has the right to show as much or as little as they want. I believe that just putting mascara on makes me feel feminine. I don’t believe that certain clothes are what makes you feminine. Being feminine is a feeling that you get as a woman. Every woman is feminine. How you choice to show it is your decision.

      Black hijab or dress has nothing to do with Islam (the religion) and is just personal preference for some people.

I came across something that Made perfect sense: the goal of Islam is to come to a place where the only sight that you care about is the sight of Allah. You may have people look at you with a sight of humiliating you, look at you with a sight of awe, look at you with a sight of praise, look at you with a sight of disgrace, the goal is to make all that completely irrelevant to your life to where the only sight you care about is the sight of Allah swt.

    I'm a non-religious woman and I totally agree with what you've said. I see so much hypocrisy in the various rules about what women can or can't wear. In France, girls have been barred from schools for wearing a headscarf, by people who claim to be defending the rights of those girls!
    It's obviously Islamophobia.
    And the irony of pre-2020 no face covering permitted and post-2020 you must wear a face mask!
    I really wish modesty was not so underrated by both sexes and that I wasn't constantly assailed by spilling-out cleavage, bum cracks, spray-on leggings etc. And by the way, I am a connoisseur of beautiful people.

    • @TheXs.Official

      Yesss! I completely agree. Everyone walking is wearing a face mask these days when before when some women chose to wear it, it was deemed antisocial, an intimidating look, dangerous due to anonymity etc etc. The rhetoric has been so hypocritical and unfair. & 'constantly assailed by spilling-out cleavage, bum cracks' made me chuckle' 😂😂 I hear that.

    Commenting on 23:00 onward, this sounds like rape culture in the extreme why does it matter to anyone how anyone else dresses unless they are showing their genitals in mixed company. This is disturbing and anyone that accepts these laws cause it doesn't affect them need to really analyze why they're ok with it and question how far this may be taken and how it will affect all women and men. Hijab is beautiful and you should be free to wear or not wear as you see fit

    I have never felt overwhelmed to the point where I need to take it off if I took it off there was a reason but it would be temporary for an couple of hours, one thing is for certain I love my coverage I feel protected I feel at peace its apart of me. I feel because of the west the hijab has become synonymous with ridiculous illogical absurd nonsensical buffoonery, for me it's a hukum of Allah swt so i accept it 100% it's not difficult it's not a burden its natural & the odd occasion I haven't worn it I felt awful. My husband or parents never asked me to wear it & they definitely didn't force me it just wasn't even a thought the decision to wear a headscarf or covering or whatever has always been my decision. In fact my husband suggested not to wear it because western men were attacking muslim women & some were murdered because of it. I was steadfast & didn't allow that to change my mind. I find the whole concept of my clothing up for decision or muslim women's clothing up for decision Utterly nonsensical HYPOCRISY double standards or no standards at all in the 21st century this still a topic of concern??? If what a man is wearing doesn't effect me why should what a woman wears effect anyone it's her business not world governments????

    Also, there are conditions to jilbab and unfortunately many Muslimahs don't adhere to that. Hijab has become a fashion statement, which it shouldn't be. The purpose is NOT to attract attention. The wives of the Prophet were described as looking like crows, as their jilbabs/khimars were black so they were inconspicuous.

It was a very strict upbringing, but I believe it was all for good. I'm always asked why I cover my head in the sanctuary. I show honor and reverence to God especially in prayer.
