Dear brothers, sisters and Hussain

As Salam o alikum!

My views were not liked by Mr. Muhammad Hussain. Well dear Hussain you have all the right to disagree and if you have gone a little rude no problem I can understand that you are an emotional person. Well you may be partially right that I have not seen the world, in a sense that I have not visited any country outside Pakistan. But I have read a lot about different religions, cultures and people. So in that regard that I know nothing you are wrong.

Dear what I have written on the subject of Muslim men and women is exactly in accordance to Quran and Sunnah. First of all I would like to ask you that who told you that women have died due to wearing of veil? And how many of them? Could you please quote me the source? The viel is not the only way to cover the head there are other decent ways like Hijab or scarf etc.

Second, I fully agree that if men have the right to roam naked then women have also the right to be naked. But dear there is no concept of either men or women to roam naked. If men are roaming in such a way, well this may be due to ignorance or they may also disagree with the Islamic law or ethics as you disagree. The only difference between the men�s and women�s dress code is that men are told to cover their bodies and are recommended to cover their heads, while women are told to cover their bodies and head and are recommended to cover their face. However covering of face for women and head by men is optional as per my study of Islam.

In our lives we are conferred upon with three things by Allah:-

Compulsions, Choices and Limitations.

A few compulsions about which we can�t do any thing are, Parents, birth, death, body, and physical needs(like water, food etc.) etc. Like we can�t choose our parents, place and date of birth of how and when we are going to die. But we can choose our religion, our dress, friends, enemies and which food to eat or not.

There are numerous limitations on us as well. Like we can�t live independent of all we have to live in a society with a set of rules and law, we can not live without the concept of God or a divine force, (this can be well explained by the atheist that he has to associate him or her to some kind of source that may be nature or science or his/her own ideal).

So if you don�t agree with the principles of Islam or the God�s manifesto it is your choice. And why is it your choice because God has given it to you.

�There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from the falsehood; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Satan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which will not break off, and indeed Allah is all Hearing, Knowing�. (sura Baqra-2, verse 256).

So if you don�t agree you have the right to do so because you have been given the choice by Allah but on the other hand if you don�t agree to any of the clause of American constitution you can�t act against it. Why because you don�t have the liberty to act against it. Similarly you can�t command your body, like you can�t tell your heart to stop pumping, or you can�t tell your face to stop growing the beard or you can�t tell your ears to see as well because why? Because you haven�t been given this choice by Allah.

But if you disagree with Allah�s instructions then probably you are trying to prove yourself wiser than God which is totally unacceptable and all these individuals will be severely punished in the hereafter. But then there will be neither any opportunity to repent or reverse back the events. So it�s all up to us either we choose to surrender in this life and reap the benefits of the eternal life or we choose this life and reap the hell fire in the eternal life.

Assalam-alaikum Muhammed H

You bear a very good name yet why this attitude? What is the reason you are on this site? Obviously some part of you craves either knowledge of Islam or the company of Muslims. If that is the case open your heart and mind and seek true knowledge from the Qur'an and from people who are happy to respond to you.
