Welcome to Gaia! ::

this goes to ratri >> u r saying that hijab isn't important and u don't see the reason behind waring it ...
but i want to ask u a simple question ;D :
--> why does Mary and Mother Teresa in every picture u have for them .. they are wearing a scarf on ??
and why does YOUR nuns wear a scarf on ??

So the deal of nuns wearing veil is sort of tradition? Ok, then. Why did they wear it those hundreds of years ago? You asked me about the reason, I'm asking you about the reason as well.

Let me put it this way Ratri. My mother moved me from a school, and put me in another. I was so angry, because I left my friends and had to put up with new rude people. But then, I realised that this new school is so much better, and I love it best. And I realised that my mother done it for my own good. So, that way I grew respect and love for her.

But then, the same thing goes for Allah ( SWT ). He put us into the society of Islam with all the rules of it. Just because he knows it's the best for us. He's the most merciful, and he forgives us for our sins as soon as we ask for forgiveness. Why would he do things that are not good for us? He's more merciful than a mother on her child. Why shouldn't we just obey him. I explained to you to provent adultrey and what comes after adultery.
That's the last answer I shall give you.

The reason why my mother moved me from that school that she said that it's unappropriate for you, and it distracks you from studying, and the teachers aren't good enough. That's why she moved me. The same goes for Allah, the reason why he moved me from one society to another is that he knows that it's unappropriate for me, and it distracks me from worshipping him. Knowing that I also have my free time, you do whatever you want with this free time.

I'm feeling tired of this, but I must continue.

My mother felt that the school is inappropriate because I was complaining all the time that my maths teacher is so stupid. And my music teacher is so rude. And the principle likes guys more than girls. And I was feeling sad. Even though, I loved that enviroment, because it was fun!! Because we moslty didn't study ( which my mother observed my grades were backing down ).

Do you see where I'm going? I'm not worshipping Allah in every second. For God's sake! I'm learning each and every second a new thing. For example, I learnt in the last 5 seconds that it's ( inappropriate ) not ( unappropriate ). That will help me speaking English well and trying to communicate with you in the proper way, that will help me to teach my ideas in a clear way. Worshipping Allah might be in anything. Even going to school is worshipping Allah, because we go there to learn. But then, as I said, I have free time. I can write, draw, watch TV. But then, in these very actions, you might write the way you feel, about wars happening for example, that's what's happening right? I feel upset about it, I'm going to write a poem. People will love that poem and understand how I feel. And when I watch TV, I must've learnt something, like a wisdom from a movie. So, it's endless, learning something is endless. But if we use our free time to go down the street uncovered, laughing and talking with guys. I really see this as the dirty way of spending one's time. Because you can do more useful things. When you reach the marriage age, you can look for somebody without having to use those dirty means. Making yourself look pretty for someone isn't that important. I mean yes, be clean, be organised, but don't put on 5 tons of make up just to look pretty so guys can look at you!! I see that those girls have a weakness point because they want somebody to tell them you are beautiful!! But I'm confident of myself, I'll know when I get married, that my husband didn't marry me because I'm beautiful, he'll marry me because I'm smart, intelligent and I understand what life is.

Ummm, I guess I'll have to talk with examples.

Let's take some countries for example; there are many problems in there, I can't even imagine how poor those girl are! The enviroment there encourages before marriage relationships, eventually they're going to think a guy is cute, and fall in love (teenage love), then bad things happen, they get pregnant, they don't want their parents to know, they just say: I gained weight, the next thing you know, she leaves the baby in front of a church or some kind of orphan place. The baby is an orphan with a mother alive!! That is stupid, rather selfish!

Islam totally made everything to forbid that from happening! By wearing Hijab and forbidding before marriage relationships, I doubt that something like that will happen. Islam is a life style that makes us live in peace and reduces problems! If you're selfish and you want to satisfy yourself, then think about the circumstances about your actions, eventually somebody is going to hurt from your selfish decissions!

But there's a posibility of it happening? And I'm not saying that only Hijab will provent that, also avoiding mixing with guys. As I said Islam is a whole lifestyle, Hijab alone won't do anything. You girls do not know what's a guy intention! Be honest for once and think of it. I myself when I go to school, we once had a lecture about something, and female and male students were together. I felt so uncomfortable! That I wanted to go out.

I'm not saying this because Allah forbade it, I'm saying out of real experience!

I want to say One thing.

You have been discussing this topic days passed and yet you are to no conclusion. Instead i would say go wear hijab and experience why Islamic girls are perfered to wear hijab.


But i know FOR YOU (ratri_cat) there are SO MANY hindrances waiting.

(and i am not saying to wear hijab while you are training but the remaining time.)

Some one has said there are things which do not have answer but you will know when you do it and feel yourself the difference.

its not the question right now that you are wearing a hijab or burqa currently the question is ARE YOU WEARING it? either of them; Then comes thing of how you are wearing it and probably its burqa or hijab that you are wearing.
