Your knowledge of our mother khadijah is extremely poor and yes she was very inteligent women but your inteligence is completelly lacking. What is amazing is a grown women who does not know diffrence between pre islamic and Islam days. Pre hijab and hijab period. To Allah the worst Muslim women is better than the best kaffir kaffir women. But i guess you could not understand tht since your inteligence is completelly lacking. Dawah is done through honesty not by lying.

Oh Please! Aren't you the pot calling the kettel black! Look in the mirror before you ever call anyone else ignorant!

Also, please do not tell us what Allah thinks!

As a non muslim woman, I can say, I've never stripped naked to sell more candy bars than someone else.    Brother123, you should understand that a pious christian woman is also forbidden to have sex before marriage and to engage in lewd behavior.  That is, if you're in a denomination that's worth something.  There are denominations that accept sinful things like homosexuality and such, but even other christians denounce them.  Islam has its darker sides too.  Not all "practices" are accepted.  There was a great thread here that had a link to the Pakistani laws on zina and their regards to rape. 

Brother123, my suggestion is if you are going to keep posting in the sister's area, you need to be less judgemental and more informative.  You have yet to post scripture backing up many of your claims...and the few you have posted in others are full of commentary or editing. 

If you think that the Nijaab is wijab or sunnah, then you need to post a scriptural arguement rather than insulting western women.  Trust me, if I was seriously looking into Islam as a possible convert, your words would cause me to turn away.  The women here are faithful and valiant, the western sisters have an even greater jihad as they must fight past the bigotry and prejudice to practice their faith.  Your attitude diminishes their struggles by insulting their devotion to Islam and their obedience to Allah. 

One must HUMBLE themselves before God.  A humble man does not judge others, that's God's job.

I do not believe niqab is wajib/fard.  To my understanding only the wives of the prophet  s.a.w had to wear it.  But they were not like other women.  Allah s.w.t clearly states this in Quran.  There are some restrictions/rules that apply only to the wives of the Prophet s.a.w .  For example, widows are allowed to remarry however, the wives of the prophet were not allowed to marry after him.  wallahu a'lam

Personally, I think niqab is a beautiful thing.  With the amount of fitna we have in the muslim communities any woman that wants to wear it and is able to should.
