"O
Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to
bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more
suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving
and Merciful."
Surah
Ahzab 33:59
"And
tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their
private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily]
appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests
and not expose their adornment…”
Surah
Al-Nur 24:31
"The
only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His
Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we
obey." And those are the successful."
Surah
Al- Nur 24:51
Allah commanded us to cover ourselves and to wrap a portion
of our head covering over
our chest and not expose our adornments. I bring this up because it bothers me that
some sisters give excuses to other sisters that choose not to wear hijab/niqab
by saying, “You shouldn’t tell a sister that she is wrong for not wearing hijab”
or “You don’t know that sisters relationship with Allah…”. The fact of the
matter is veiling ourselves is a commandment sent down by Allah and we should
obey. It is there for our protection no matter if you see it that way or not.
Abu Hurayra
reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"A believer is the mirror of his brother.
A believer is the brother of another believer. He protects him against loss and
defends him behind his back."
Al-Adab
Al-Mufrad
As Muslims we should care for each other and want the same
things for each other as we want for ourselves.
Every one of our ultimate goals should be Jannah and getting as close to
Allah as we possibly can. If someone tells you something that, honestly if you
look at it in an unbiased way and it’s the right thing to do, then strive to do
it. No one said that doing the right thing is always going to be easy. But the
reward with Allah is far greater than pleasing man. Allah knows that wearing
the hijab is a hard thing to do if it wasn’t and everybody wore it there would
be no reason to reward those of us who will wear it. If you are having an issue
with wearing hijab pray to Allah to make it easy for you & make an effort.
Even a baby has to crawl before they walk. But at least strive to do this for
yourself.
