Kulsoom Abdullah Fighting For Hijab

Kulsoom Abdullah Weightlifting Athlete Success Muslim Fighting For Hijab

Kulsoom Abdullah is a weight lifter who loved this sport. But until last year, although it has been competing for years, he has never reached the national level competitions in the United States.

Because the clothes he wore always cover the head, hands and feet. While the International Weightlifting Federation requires participants to wear sleeveless shirts and tight shorts so the jury can see clearly the techniques used.

"Conditions were so affected me mentally," said Abdullah. "When the weightlifting competition, we certainly try to reach the next stage. We must have a strong desire and confidence. I'm disappointed, but I still have to do my best."

Now many Muslim women in Serbia who Dare Wear Hijab

Islamic influence is now starting to flourish in Serbia, countries in the Balkan peninsula that originally communist leanings. One indicator, more and more Muslim women are no longer afraid to show his identity by wearing a headscarf.

Earlier this month, seven women and one young adult woman wearing the hijab decided to adopt that same day after attending a debate entitled "How Muslim Women Dressed" organized by the International University of Novi Pazar. Local mufti, Muamer Zukorlic, appearing as a speaker.



Their decisions are necessarily supported by the audience. They clapped their hands after using the eight women came out with their new appearance, clad in Muslim clothing.

Overall, only a small number of Muslim women who wear hijab in Serbia. But the increasing tendency of women veiled recently had to make a polemic: whether to use jibab banned or not.

Corovic Aida, a human rights activist in Novi Pazar and the head of the Urban In, an advocacy NGO, said that wearing the hijab is more about fashion than faith. But the veil can also be a response to pressure from the family and the environment. "Most young women under 18 years of wearing the hijab, and most did not even realize it means," she said.
Muhamed Jusufspahic, vice Reis-ul-ulema of Islamic Community of Serbia said the country did not need to set the fashion of its citizens. As the Muslim, he said, the choice of wearing a headscarf should be handed over to them.

During the Communist era in Yugoslavia, a law in 1950 forbidding women to wear clothing that covers the face. The rules were eventually withdrawn. Currently, there are no such barriers to women in Serbia. They can even be photographed for identity documents in Muslim clothing.

In the Balkan war, serbian put Muslims as the main enemy. Genocide of Muslims fought and massacred thousands of Muslim martyrdom.

Serbian Parliament last year to submit an apology for the massacre thousands of Bosnian Muslims in the Balkan War in 1995. But they rejected violence when it called a genocide.

Hijab, Women's Independent Feature

By: Muhammad Abduh Tuasikal

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Blessings and greetings to our Prophet Muhammad, his family and friends.

Jilbab, what's the benefit? Many women are asking this question because he had not received any guidance for the wear. Here is a verse in God's Book called "Verse Hijab". This verse is very nice at all to contemplate. Hope we can get a lesson from this verse from the scholars of tafsir. Hopefully with this God open the hearts of the women who did not wear it perfectly.

Allah Ta'ala says:

يا أيها النبي قل لأزواجك وبناتك ونساء المؤمنين يدنين عليهن من جلابيبهن ذلك أدنى أن يعرفن فلا يؤذين وكان الله غفورا

"O Prophet, say to the wife-wives, daughters and wives of the believers:" Let them extended veils all over their bodies. " That is so they are easier to be known, therefore they are not alone. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. "(Surat al-Ahzab: 59)



What is hijab?

Ibn Kathir explains that the veil is rahimahullah upper garment (rida ') [1] that covers Khimar. So that was said by Ibn Mas'ud, 'Ubaidah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Sa'id bin Jubair, Ibrahim An Nakho'i, and' Atho 'Al Khurosaani. For now, the veil was like Izar (lower garment). Al Jauhari said that the headscarf is "mulhafah" (fabric cover). [2]

Ash Syaukani rahimahullah say that hijab is a garment that is larger than Khimar. [3] There are scholars who say that the hijab is a garment that covers the entire female body. In the hadeeth of 'Umm' Athiyah, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, one of us do not have a hijab." Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam then said:

لتلبسها أختها من جلبابها

"Let the brother wearing a headscarf for her." [4] Al Wahidi said that expert commentators say, "That he shall cover his face and head except for one eye only." [5]
Ibn Jawzi rahimahullah in Zaadul Masiir give information about the hijab. He nukil words of Ibn Qutaibah, where he gave an explanation, "Let the woman was wearing rida'nya (upper garment)." Another scholar said, "Let the women to cover their heads and faces, so that people know that he is an independent woman (not slaves). "[6]

As Shaykh Sa'di rahimahullah explains that the veil is mulhafah (fabric top cover), Khimar, rida '(upper garment fabric) or any other kind that is worn over clothing. Let the veil that covers her self, her face and chest. [7]

Conclusions about the hijab and Khimar purpose, please see picture www.muslimah.or.id [8] below.

Wearing Hijab, Freedom Women's Feature

In verse which we examine today, Allah Almighty ordered His Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam ordered for the women believing women-especially the wives and daughters of the Prophet because of their glory-that is, so they handed her headscarf. The aim is to differentiate between ignorant women and female slaves. [9]

As rahimahullah Sudi said, "In the past people might in the ordinary Medina out at night when the night was so dark in the streets of Madinah. They want to confront the woman. Formerly poor people of Medina residents experiencing distress. When night came the women (who had difficulty) out into the streets to meet their intent. The wicked really want to seduce the ladies earlier. When they see women who wear hijab, they say, "This is a free woman. Do not let menggagunya. "But when they see women who are not veiled, they say," This is a slave woman. Let's confronting. "

Rahimahullah Mujahid said, "Let the women wear a headscarf might know what that included women's independence. If there is a veiled woman, the wicked people when met would not hurt her. "[10]

Explanation of the scholars on explaining the word of God about the benefits of hijab,

ذلك أدنى أن يعرفن

"That is so they are easier to be recognized." (Surat al-Ahzab: 59)

Rahimahullah Syaukani Ash explained, "The verse (which means)," That is so they are easier to be known ", is not meant to be one of them is known, that is who she is. But what is meant is that they are known, which one is independent, which is still a slave. Because if they wear a headscarf, that means they wear clothing free man. "[11]

Which is what distinguishes the former slave and free women. This shows that women who are not veiled meaning still want him as a slave status. Only God who gave taufik.

Wearing hijab More Keeping Yourself

Regarding the verse,

ذلك أدنى أن يعرفن فلا يؤذين

"That is so they are easier to be known, therefore they are not alone." (Surat al-Ahzab: 59)

As Shaykh Sa'di rahimahullah said, "The above verse shows, people who do not wear the hijab would be more easily seduced. Because if a woman is not veiled, then people will think that he is not a ladies' afifaat (women really take care of myself or honor). Finally, people who have heart disease emerged in the not-not, then they hurt him and take it low like their belief that slave. Finally the people who want to apply lowers bad. "[12]

Allah is Forgiving

At the end of the verse, Allah Almighty says,

وكان الله غفورا

"And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surat al-Ahzab: 59). Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said, "Allah is Forgiving and Merciful towards what has past in times of ignorance, at which time they (the women) had no knowledge of this." [13]

That is, for women who do not wear the hijab, God is still opening the door of repentance is still conceived during the life of the body, as long as the angel of death is yet to come in front of him.

Do not Forget to Da'wah to the Family

Da'wah to the family for the veiled and closed the genitalia, that's what should be the priority scale. Behold, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam just told to start from his wife and daughters before another woman believing women as a command at the beginning of the verse.

يا أيها النبي قل لأزواجك وبناتك ونساء المؤمنين

"O Prophet, say to the wife-wives, daughters and wives of the believers"

This is as the word of Allah, the Exalted,

يا أيها الذين آمنوا قوا أنفسكم وأهليكم نارا

"O ye who believe, guard yourselves and your families from hell fire." (Surat at Tahrim: 6)

O Allah, open to family and friends our hearts are not veiled to be covered completely.

Praise be to God that with His blessings be perfect goodness.

Hope that Pent A British Muslimat

Shelina Zahra Janmoha med, a British Muslim, harbored hope. Later, Muslim women in Britain in particular is no longer seen as confidence or they wear the hijab, but people appreciate the achievements that they carved. Shelina hope stereotypes and skewed image of Muslim women faded.

He considers, very good looking Muslim women as an integral part of society and country. Not because the label Muslimahnya, but more than that because the talent and contributions that can be given.
Like other women, Muslim women are also close to the everyday issues, like education, employment, health, and family.



He filed an example, Barones Sayeeda Warsi, a Muslim who became one of the Conservative Party chairman and now serves as minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister David Cameron.
Last month, he appeared before the media along with two women MPs to argue with the opposition. He respected.

However, in reality, Muslim women in general have to face additional barriers compared to other women. Check it, said Shelina, what happens on the job market. Based on reports the UK Equalities and Human Rights Commission 2010, only 24 percent of Muslim women in Britain are working.

This fact is then tickled the people who do not know the truth about Islam and Muslims to immediately catapult comment. They said, not many Muslim women find work related to the pressures faced by their families. One of them, they are required to veil or stay home.
This view was refuted by a report released by The Young Foundation in 2008. The institute is concluded, if the trace on the second generation Muslim women in Britain, the view that banning Muslim families do not work right. Most of them get support from her family to work.

According to The Young Foundation, the obstacles facing Muslim women together with women in general barriers, such as gender discrimination. "However, British Muslim women should get away from other obstacles, that is discrimination because of conviction and his clothes," says Shelina as quoted by Middle East Online, recently.

In fact, the Muslim community has a generation of women as politicians, community leaders, businessmen and writers. With this reality too, Muslim women must now continue to fight to cut down all the barriers, and bore the image, story, and a new culture. At least, Shelina also can be one example.

He made a blog, Spirit 21, five years ago, to voice about British Muslim women are rarely heard. Apparently, this blog success. BBC even suggested lina's blog She became one of the most influential Muslim blogs. National and international media hunt to get the interview.

As if Shelina be the mouthpiece of his people. The award was pinned to her since been named as one of the 100 most influential British Muslim. Her book, Love in a Headscarf, which tells the veiled Muslim women looking for potential husbands translated into several languages.

Another figure who also loaded achievement is Jobeda Ali. She organized Cineforum that accommodate the film around the world depicting Muslim women. There are also pages that have Shaista Gohir Big Sister. This page presents the Muslim success that can be used as a model for other Muslim women.

Sarah Joseph, a convert to Islam, made the first Muslim lifestyle magazine that was so visible luxury. And, Roohi Hasan, a television news editor and a member of the team that designed the Channel 5 news, one of the most popular news program in the UK.

Meanwhile, Maleiha Malik is a professor of law at the prestigious Kings College London. He focuses on discrimination law, protection of minorities, and also a feminist. "With all this, later vanished stereotypes of Muslim women and Muslim-owned property talent will be recognized," says Shelina.

Make Sense of Shame as a Shield of Faith and Taqwa

By: Ibn Tiangfei

Basically, human beings created by Allah SWT with some advantages that came with the man himself. When compared with other creatures, humans have a degree / higher positions. For example: man was created with a completeness of the passions, while the angels are not. Another example: man is created with the completeness have a mind, while the animal is not. Although the animals are equipped with lust, but because they do not have a mind, then they will spit desires with anyone, anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, do not be surprised if we see the animal walk out with a naked (without clothes), do not be surprised if we see the animals associated with the opposite sex (sorry) in any place. Human beings are imperfect sight of Allah SWT, which is equipped with the human mind would be embarrassed if you do things like animal that has been mentioned earlier.



However, the phenomenon is happening now is a lot of human behavior are like animals. If out of the house, many women are not shy to show off their own genitals. Even in some countries there is a kind of human community naked (na'udzubillah). Other phenomena such as men and women who are not mahram physically touch each other almost in all countries, as if they've lost a sense of shame. But it did not. They still have a sense of shame, it's just a shame their placement is reversed. For example if they are ashamed to wear the hijab while out of the house, they were ashamed to say as an old-fashioned woman or women who are not modern.
And as people who believe in Islam, the hijab is an obligation that must be carried out by Muslim women, as the word of Allah SWT,

"It means: Say to those men who believe they should gaze and maintain such a cock that is purer for them, surely Allah is Aware of what they do. Say to the believing women who let their gaze and maintain his cock and let them not reveal her jewelry except for a (usually) appear thereof, and let them cover with cloth scarf to his chest and not to show adornment except to their husbands or their fathers or fathers of their husbands or sons -son or sons of their husbands They are ... "(An-Nur: 30-31).
Real shame is also a part of faith, according to the words of the Prophet Muhammad SAW,
Ibn Umar narrated Hadith 'anhu, who said: "The Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam heard someone advise his brother in terms of shame, then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: Shame is a part of faith." (Hadith Reported by Muslim).

Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah, who said: "The Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: Faith is no more seventy branches. And the shame is one of the branches of faith. " (Hadith Reported by Muslim).

In the book arba'in works of Imam an-Nawawi, also explained about the importance of having the nature of shame. The following quote,

From Abu Mas'ud, 'Uqbah ibn' Amr al-Ansari Al Badri "Verily, between man acquired from the prophetic that the first sentence is: If you are not ashamed, you did according at will." (Hadith Bukhari History).

Explanation:
His saying "the first sentence prophetic", meaning that shame is always admirable and well-regarded, always commanded by every prophet and never removed from the shariah of the prophets long ago.

His Word: "You did according arbitrarily", contains two terms, namely: first, means of threats and warnings, not a command, as word of his: "Do you at will."

Which also means a threat, because to them have been taught what should be abandoned. Likewise, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam: "Any person who sells wine then let her pork chop."

It does not mean that he justify doing such a thing.

The second notion is to let do anything that you're not ashamed to do it, just as the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam: "Shame is part of the Faith."

The purpose here is shame shame that can distance himself from the heinous act and pushed him do good. Similarly, if embarrassed to drive one to leave the heinous act and then do good deeds, then shame this kind of equal with the faith because of the similarity effect on someone. And Allaah knows best.

Therefore, let us his shame culture as part of our life, which according to sharia shame, that we be the people that the more faithful and devoted to Allah SWT.

Reviving Our Sense of Gheerah

By Sister Fatima Barakatullah

We live in societies in which most men and women have lost their sense of modesty, women are obsessed with their appearances and wear clothes to be seen by others and to attract the attention of other men even if they are married! They have lost their sense of shame. Marriage is often looked upon as old-fashioned and short term affairs and frivolous relationships are the norm, everyone waiting to attract a better partner and feeling totally justified to dump one partner for another at the drop of a hat. Feminism too has reached its peak and men and women are told to suppress their natural emotions. Men are not even embarrassed when their wives are dressed up and attract the attention of other men, they don't mind if another man sees, chats, laughs and even dances with their womenfolk and if they do mind, they are told not to be so possessive!

In Islam we have a concept of Gheerah. Gheerah is an Arabic word which means protectiveness or jealousy. It is a good type of jealousy, like when a man feels jealous or protective over his wife or sisters and other-womenfolk and doesn't like other men to look at them. It is a natural inbuilt feeling Allah has given men and women. The Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wassalam had the most Gheerah for his wives and all of the companions were known for their Gheerah. All Muslim men should have a collective sense of protectiveness for Muslim women as Allah says in the Qur'an, the meaning of which is:

"The Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…" (Surah An- Nisaa, Ayah 34).



Men who do not care about how their women behave and appear in front of other men and don't enforce hijaab upon their wives or women-folk are called Dayyooth. Being a Dayyooth is a major sin and a detailed description of this evil characteristic can be found in adh- Dhahabee's book of Major Sins (Kitaab ul-Kabaa'ir).

A story of Gheerah

To further understand the quality of Gheerah, we can look at an incident that Asmaa' radi allahu anha the daughter of Abu Bakr As- Siddeeq radi allahu anhu and sister of Aisha radi allahu anha relates about herself. Abu Bakr was a wealthy merchant and he married his daughter Asmaa' to the great companion Az-Zubayr ibn al-`Awwam radi allahu anhu who was a very poor man but a man of great piety and one of the companions who were promised Paradise. Asmaa' relates:
"When az-Zubayr married me, he had neither land nor wealth nor slave…", so Asmaa' had to work very hard kneading dough, going far off to get water. "And I used to carry on my head," she continues, "the date stones from the land of az-Zubair which Allah's Messenger sallallahu `alaihi wassalam had endowed him and it was a distance of two miles from Madeenah. One day, as I was carrying the date-stones upon my head, I happened to meet Allah's Messenger sallallahu `alaihi wassalam, along with a group of his Companions. He called me and told the camel to sit down so that he could make me ride behind him. I felt shy to go with men and I remembered az-Zubair and his Gheerah and he was a man having the most Gheerah . The Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alaihi wassalam understood my shyness and left. I came to az-Zubair and said: "The Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alaihi wassalam met me as I was carrying date-stones upon my head and there was with him a group of his Companions. He told the camel to kneel so that I could mount it, but I felt shy and I remembered your Gheerah." So Asmaa' declined the offer made by the Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wassalam. Upon this az-Zubair said: "By Allah, the thought of you carrying date-stones upon your head is more severe a burden on me than you riding with him." (related in Sahih Bukhari)

Look at the sense of dignity and modesty of Asmaa'! See how she felt shy in front of men? See how careful she was about her husband's feelings? She knew that her husband had a lot of Gheerah so she didn't want to upset him by accepting the Prophet's sallallahu `alaihi wassalam help even though the Prophet was the purest of men and even though it meant bringing hardship on herself! And look at az-Zubair radi allahu anhu, even though he had a lot of Gheerah, he didn't want to inconvenience his wife. What a beautiful relationship they had!

Nurturing our sense of Gheerah

Sometimes Muslim women don't understand if their men folk want them to cover their faces or if they ask them to change something about the way they dress or speak in public, thinking that the men are being over-protective. But my dear sisters! If your husband asks you not to wear a certain colour of khimaar because it brings out the beauty of your eyes, or if he wants you to cover your face – by Allah, be thankful! Be proud of the fact that your husband has a sense of Gheerah for you and that he values you and cares for your hereafter. He knows what men can be like more than you do and so never try and suppress his Gheerah in these types of matters. And his concern for you should incite your own sense of honour! Why should any man be able to see your beauty and think indecent thoughts about you? We must nurture our own and our menfolk's sense of Gheerah by behaving and dressing modestly ourselves and paying attention to their valid opinions. We expect certain behaviour from them and they expect it of us. And besides, if our husband asks us to do something that it not Haraam, we must do it.

And Brothers! How can you allow your wife or sister to walk around attracting the attentions and evil-thoughts of other men? How can you not mind if she smiles as she talks to other men. Nobody has the right to enjoy her and her company but you and her Maharim men. You are not being overbearing if you first encourage and then enforce the hijaab on your womenfolk because YOU will be asked about it on the Day of Judgement and it is also a major sin upon YOU! It is upon the men to enforce these things in their homes and you cannot use the excuse that your wife didn't want to. Women need a firm, balanced, guiding hand from their men, so with wisdom you must enforce hijaab in your home. You are a shepard and are responsible for your flock!

Allah reminds us all in the Qur'an, the meaning of which is:

"Oh you who believe, Protect yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones." (At-Tahreem, Aayah 6)

There is a big difference between how Islam values and protects women and how cheaply women are treated outside of Islam! As Muslims we have to be careful that our Hayaa' (sense of modesty and shame) and Gheerah don't wear out in a society in which people have lost it.
