VEIL; A WOMAN’S TREASURE OR FASHION?!
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)
Islam is the only religion that
gave the rights to women and obliterated all other misconceptions that were
previously being acted upon by men! As Islam prevailed, it gave various
instructions to women. The instructions were totally in favor of them as we see
that men started respected them after they followed the instructions by Allah
Almighty! This is the reason that Islam spread fast in Europe and especially
women in abundance, after studying true Islam, embraced it due to its real
teachings and purity! Amongst various instructions, Allah declared the Veil
necessary for women in which women themselves feel secure!
Today, I regret to see around our society that the veil has become a fashion!
The purpose of veil was to cover the body so that the parts of women’s bodies
should not appear and men could not have a look at their bodies! But
unfortunately, women today wear colorful, printed and tight or so fit veils that
their bodies’ parts are visible! Their veils are so eye-catching that snatch
men’s attention towards them which is actually a great sin! Wearing these types
of veils has eradicated the purpose of veils as these veils are not covering
their bodies but are exposing their bodies sadly!
I suggest to all of the Muslims women to surely wear veil as it is Allah’s
instruction but also take care of the real Sharai Parda if you can! But if you
cannot take Sharai Parda, so at least try to wear a little loose veil! Even
women are so negligent that they themselves are being guilty of wearing these
types of veils whereas they cause men to commit sins too! Do think of it
please!!
