Welcome to Gaia! ::

Al salamu alaykom;

The best thing that I've ever done in my life, is that I wore Hijab, I'm very proud of it. But the one thing I can't understand, why do girls delay it when they're like in university! I mean Hijab is really important!! Every girl should try putting Hijab on, and it's not as bad as it seems. It protects us. I can't really seem to understand what is wrong with Hijab? The only reason I wore it at my age ( I'm going to be 14 on 25th of October ) Is because my parents said it was too early for you, and wear it when you feel most ready. So I did it! I know every human is a sinner, but shouldn't you just stop your sins and do whatever Allah tells you?

Try it, just try it, and the thawab will be yours, and remember, it is an order from Allah, you're disobeying Allah!! Isn't he the only worthy to be worshiped? Then why don't you worship him in the way he wants?

I can't seem to understand; so those who doesn't wear hijab, why don't you wear it? Is something wrong with it?

Just let us imagine, that if the whole girls in the world, wore hijab, wouldn't it just be the greatest thing?

I don't, simply for the fact that I don't follow that religion.
I really don't see the point to begin with. ._.;
It's about modesty, right?
Isn't it entirely possible to keep yourself covered without hijab?
(I don't mean to offend, I just really don't understand.)

My challenge to you
Alsalam Alaykum!

To me, the obligations of hijab are clear, explicit, and detailed when I look at both the Quran and the Sunna. There is no question in my mind; I am convinced that Allah SWT has indeed commanded hijab. Inshallah, and Frankly, I don't see any other interpretation.

If we are agreed that the Quran and the Sunna do command hijab, then the real question is: how important is it to you to follow what Allah SWT has commanded in the Quran and Sunna?

It's your choice. Is it important for you to obey Allah SWT? Do you think you should submit your will to His? Do you believe that He knows what is best for you? Do you think that if you dislike what He has commanded, you should be the one to change, not Him? Are you willing to set aside your dislike and to try to seek the wisdom in what He has commanded? Are you motivated to try to surrender to Him even though it may be difficult for you? Is the promise of Jannah worth going through some hardship now?

Please consider each of these questions. If you are sincere in your commitment to Allah SWT, and in your choice of Islam as a religion, don't you think you should give hijab a try?!



Afterword: If you're coming to think that hijab is part of the way that you want to serve Allah SWT, but you're not sure how to get there from here, read some tips about it and Inshallah it'll help you :3 !


Wasalam ~ ~

i got the same feelings when i first wore the Hijab =) !!

Ok, Ratri, I seem to have alot to say.

When you understand that Allah is the one who made everyone, including me and you. And put you in your mother's womb. I guess you'll never have to say anything. Because he just has to say, and we will do. I'm not saying that Allah (SWT) doesn't care about us. He cares about us, he loves us, he wants us to be happy. But that will happen when we go to Jannah inshallah. And this life we're living, it's just a test, and we're supposed to work to go to Jannah. Working includes obeying God in everything he says.

Let me explain what Hijab is all about. We all agree that Allah created us. And he's the one who knows the body parts, from the cell, to the full body. And he knows what are the emotions that can come up. Such as love, friendship, hate. He's the one who created us, he knows what can happen if something goes that way. There's a hadith I guess, it goes that way: No woman and man get together alone, and the shaytan third one in the room. So, Allah knows that a human is a sinner, and he has a weak body, maybe fall for things. So, when a girl goes out, wearing make up, most of her body out. Allah knows since the world beginning that some guy will have certain emotions, and something really bad will happen ( God forbid ). So it's important to protect ourselves before something bad will happen. And along with Hijab, many rules come. Such as, never go out of the country without ( Father, brother, nephew). And no women and man should get together alone in the same room. Even during engagement, the couple shouldn't go out together, or sit together in the same room alone. Without having ( Father, brother ) in the room along with them. The only condition is allowed in is when they get married in Allah's way.

I'm not saying Hijab only protects a girl, there are some girls who wear Hijab and they have not that much of faith , they date, they go out alone with their boyfriends. 100% something is going to happen, I mean, not from the first time, but if it repeated something is going to happen. Hijab wouldn't do anything to this girl. Because she didn't follow the rules that come along with Hijab. Of course that's not the way Allah wants us to be. He wants Hijab with good deeds, following the rules. Can you understand? I mean, Hijab comes along with those rules. There's no way that Hijab can do anything without following the rules I said. It'll be as you said: EXTRA CLOTH. It wouldn't do anything. Excuse me for what I'm about to say, you're not a guy, so may not understand it. I may be able to convince a guy with Hijab because he might know what I was talking about.

Not all muslims are prophets, they quote and say what they have learnt from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Let me clearify this one, I'm not saying that Allah doesn't trust a human being. He created them this way. This is part of his test. Let me tell you an example. If there's a snake outside, would you go out? No, if you really need to go out, you'd avoid the snake's place, and probably put on long pants and be really careful. I'm not saying men are like snakes. I'm saying that whenever you know that something bad might happen. You'd protect yourself. Probably the snake isn't going to bite you, but there's a chance that it might bite you. But still, you keep away!

Again, there are things that makes us happy, but could harm us. Like, smoking for example. It eases the worriness, but it harms your lungs, might as well cause you cancer ( God forbid ). But there's a chance it wouldn't! But a wise man, wouldn't do it!! Because simply, it might harm me and cause me cancer!

The same thing goes for women and men. I know that they're not going to attack you once you go out in the street not covering yourself! But there's a slight chance that some guy will look at you and probably have feelings!

Islam goes like a whole life style, you can't do half of it, you should follow it in a full way. No disobeying, because Allah (SWT) created us, he would know everything! Allah knows everything, he knows since the begining of the world, that they will invent computer, and then they will invent internet, then they'll make gaia, then my father will buy a computer and connect it to the internet, then Allah knows that I'm going to find gaia, and join, then my friend would tell me about this guild, and I'm going to make this post, and I'll meet you here, and say these exact words! Allah knows everything. So don't tell me that he doesn't trust us!Allah knows because he's the one who created us! Allah knows because he decided what will this universe be, what will I think of a person when I first meet him, what are my charactiristics, honesty; liar, hateful, lovable!

And Allah (SWT) made his rules, based on these things that he first created. The goal of this world is to test us, Allah is testing us, would we understand the truth, and follow Allah. And protect ourselves, and go to Allah when we make sins? That's what the test is about!

Then why wear the hijab if a woman's lack of modesty is said to inspire lustful thoughts?
And not everyone acts on their lustful thoughts.

Angel, I'll answer you later. Ive got a parenting class to go to and I want to have another in depth conversation.

Im sorry but i disagree with that,
maybe its just me but I have never had feelings for anyone because of their looks. I have always developed feelings for the person based on how they act and treat others. How they carry them self also plays a big part in it as well.

granted most men might look at a woman and say wow shes beautiful,
but thats just an attraction to physical looks it has nothing to do with feelings other then his lust and just because he feels that does not mean the woman feels the same way for him. Looks mean nothing in a relationship, feelings of true love and willingness to give anything and everything for that person is all that should matter (IMO).

I mean tell me none of you here have ever seen a random person on the street and felt some sort of physical attraction to that person, even if it was for just a second or 2.
