I think also because women feel like the burden of quite bluntly, a man being turned on or not, is our responsibility, so it seems to take the focus off what hijab is supposed to be, when you have to concern yourself with the fact that some Muslim guy is still inticed by your looks (?). It's a very disgusting feeling to go through that as a woman and creates a lot of indignation. Yet around a non Muslim male that is at least somewhat accepting of your hijab, may actually treat you with respect and dignity, regardless if the hijab is perfectly covered, etc. It's almost as if they seem to be impressed by you wearing it (in and of itself). Again, I see I'm making it about men! Yet that's were most I would say the negative feelings are coming from, from men, sex and sexual shame.
EXACTLY. THIS. I think we tend to overlook very often the fact that Allah mandated the hijab for us to be able to work and live freely, in a dignified way- once we put it on and make sure it follows the guidelines Allah has prescribed for us, we don't have to worry about who we attract. Let's face it, a woman can wear a potato sack and still have people stare at her. A man being "turned on" is NOT our responsibility, no matter what 'sheikh' says it- as long as we follow what Allah has commanded.
Hello dear madam, How are you and your family members? I habe been watching ypur videos for three months. I have found them very beneficial and informative. The most important which I like about you is supporting Palestine and you call a spade a spade. Stay blessed! Love and respect from Afghanistan. ❤
I want to comment on something you said, that hijab is for Allah. As a Muslim women I get that. And in some contexts of life, ironially, I feel that strongly. However it's in some of the other contexts you mentioned, like being a Muslim women in Muslim spaces, or in the contexts of marriage, that when the relationship begins to change. As we are human, it's hard to fight those feelings that hijab seems to be more of a hinderance than a help. Yet some of us ultimately still wear for Allah and don't take off, but it's just bothersome.
i want to start wearing hijab but i'm scared what if people judge me for my past appearance and pass comments on me .. and i don't know if i can manage everything with hijab ... household and children comfortably... bcz i don't want to do it for small time
You dont have to wear it at home while doing house work or dealing with your children etc at home unless of course there are random men at your house? 😁
Salam Sister. Make dua to Allah to give you strength and calm your fears. InshaAllah, you can do it. Alhamdulillah, I’m a doctor, married and a mother of four children and I have been wearing hijab since high school in Canada (back when there weren’t that many hijabis). Alhamdulillah, it’s a part of me now. As you know, there are many sisters who wear hijab and many who have similar situations to you. InshaAllah it’s very do-able, just ask Allah to make it easy for you and trust in Him and take the plunge. ❤
It is just crazy that Muslims have to justify their beliefs and practices. Stop questioning is a good way forward. Because who are we to question Allah or his prophet! No need to add new things to Islam.
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Good evening, a follower from Algeria.
Jazak Allahu Khayran Maryam, Barak Allah Feek. May Allah accept this from you and may this video and your other videos help many people, Ameen.
