Hijab As Per Sunnah - I want to look like Muslim

As salaam alaikum wa rehamtullahi wa barakatuhu

As you see in last blog i started hijab alhamdulillah. But I didn't start wearing it as per sunnah. I wear tights jeans and t shirt with hijab. After sometime, like a week only I started wearing some long coat which cover my back till knees.

I started praying as it is obligated on each Muslim. So, I used to carry a long prayer gown with to every where because someone told me women can't pray in tights pants it should be full cover and loose. 

Slowly I understood what actually hijab mean. I attended one lecture of zakir naik, one woman asked question about why you man of Islam make you woman to be cover, why you force them to wear abaya? He explained very beautifully. Frist he said we have not told our woman to cover themselves, you can ask any woman who put hijab is from her will or from parents or husband wills. Trust me sister they will answer "it's our will as we fear Allah".

He explained why hijab came on woman as well on man also. Why on woman to cover full body is for there own safety to protect there valve. He explained very nicely Six criteria for Hijab.

According to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing hijab:

1. Extent:
The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands upto the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijab’.

All the remaining five criteria are the same for men and women.

2. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.

3. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.

4. The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.

5. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.

6. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.

Good one. As soon as I got my answer that woman beauty is for husband why to show all other and make it as object I started wearing loose cloths. Now trust me no one say me by looking that I am a reverted Muslim. Hijab add Noor/ light on beauty of woman and not degrade woman. 

Now alhamdulillah  hijab is like my part of body I can't separate it and I won't till my grave. May Allah grant all woman the knowledge of hijab and beauty of it. 

Conclusion: Don't be just Muslim be more and look like Muslim.
