I understand some people need a faith to believe in but im sorry unless both males as well as the females wear the jilbab then its not fair on the wife.
it looks uncomfortable, hot, and how are you supost to eat in that thing. Ok you might want to hide your beauty but...............
DO YOU HAVE NO TRUST !!!!

A veil is an expression/ zara 2006-04-25 09:01:29

salam sis well i totally disagree with you beacuse a hijab is a symbol of faith its a sign of modesty and dignity its shows other ppl who we are its our identity so plz sis plz read da hadeeth it for ur own good. hair is beauty of a women and da best thing to do is to cover the beauty with a hijab that why its obligatory to wear a hijab. allah hu alam. everyone is entitled to their own opinion if you think that fine but plz do more research before you write your facts down tc i pray Allah guides all of us to the right path Ameen gd luck wiv da research wasalam!!!

There's something called as Hadeeths, which are to be FOLLOWED as well if you are a muslim.../ SAM 2005-02-25 11:46:42

well, with due respect to all my sisters and the sister who authored this, ofcourse this is your own interpretation , perhaps its just a fact of the author not being aware of something called as HADEETHs which clearly states the codes.{ and for heaven's sake, dont start thinking and posting "what is hadeeth when u have the Holy Quran, the word of ALLAH,}Ofcourse, the author's right in mentioning the male dominance and oppression, but as long as one's aware of the holy Quran's and hadeeths sayings, they would'nt be oppressed.Moreover, nobody is forcing anybody to wear a hijab, if they do so, as u mentioned, the woman's being oppressed, but did you ever go through hadeeths regarding this???, and as one of the commenters says, she feels confident wearing a hijab, yes , everybody should, coz its by ALLAH and ALLAH knows best.For Heaven's sake, donot post your individual perspectives, you may mislead the true following women and would have to answer in front of ALLAH{swt} .May ALLAH guide one and all and give hidayath to everyone.{aameen}

Great!/ salma 2004-04-26 10:14:50

Good works! I, myself, wears jilbab (hijab) since one a half years ago). I feel a good impact wearing jilbab. I try to control myself and be a good human, specially a good muslimah. There is nothing wrong with wearing jilbab for women. The others religion teach the women to wear head cover even in another way, just like sister, advent, etc.

interesting. frankly i had always wondered about the head covering. one would think a religious belief system would teach men to reign in their passions rather than require women to cover themselves as though all they could be is a source of sinful lust for men.
