Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

Jenni why do i need to know what it feels like to be able to Quote what Allah and his messenger have commanded. Allah created you and he certainly knows you better than your self, remember Allah and his messeger are the criteria for what is right and wrong not us men or women i say something islamicly wrong please by all means i would love it if you tell me to shut up i am not trying to misguide anyone.

I certainly know what harship feels like, what rejections feels like, what being looked down upon feels like are you feeling something i havnt felt beffore?

i also understand that women feel these things more intensly than men, Allah rewards you for every second of hardship you go through and most certainly according to the intensity of the strugle.

i have a beard and i am an arab living in the west would you prefer walking around with a beard

Queenie, I am saying on this issue a man does not know what it feels like to wear it or be a woman. It is sort of like a man giving you pregnancy advice. It is nothing against men or cerntianly has nothing to do with the prophets opinion. I was just referring to Rami and how men make stern comments against us sisters when they don't have to live as women or mothers or for some sisters single mothers. They DON'T usually understand the suffering that women in the world go through otherwise why are women in the world and in many Muslim countries in SUCH A TERRIBLE STATE??????

I think it is wrong to say a mans opinion does not mean much on issues related to islam. The prophet (saw) was a man and had opinions on womens issues. Also most of our scholars who us women look to for rulings and fatwas are men. Therefore gender does not play an issue for me. there is no sexism in islam. A fact is a fact, whether its uttered from a mans mouth or a womans. Hijab is an islamic obligation. That is a fact. whether one wears it or not is their own choice and only allah can judge them. personally i find it amazing that the more and more i hear hijab as an issue in the media, in discussions and the more it is attacked. i see the total opposite effect. everywhere i look the hijab is becoming more and more visible by the day masha allah. i agree with jenni when she says that if one feels unsafe the ruling on hijab changes. i have heard this from dr jamal badawi. but must stress that he said "unsafe" means extreme circumstances where you feel that actual physical harm will come to you because of it. also when the danger is clear a woman should put the hijaab back on. seems logical to me. but there are differences of opinion on the matter.

Alwardah wrote: As Salamu Alaikum Yes I would be interested with that discussion because like I pointed out before, at one stage of my life I strongly believed Hijab was not an obligation and today I believe the opposite. Maybe we can get some good points, when we discussion this issue from your research.

Ok, I see what I can do on the weekend

This is an issue that will go on till eternity.
