Seluar renang

Anak-anak memang suka berenang sebab digalakkan belaja berenang. Tujuannya adalah semata-mata kerana hendak belajar-belajar mengikuti saranan Rasulullah s.a.w.
Diriwayatkan oleh Thabrani dengan sanad jayid bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: ''Segala sesuatu yang tidak berkaitan dengan zikir maka itu adalah senda gurau belaka kecuali empat perkara: berjalannya seseorang antara dua tujuan (memanah) latihan menunggang kuda, bersenda gurau dengan isterinya dan belajar berenang.''

Diriwayatkan dari Umar al-khattab r.a bahawa beliau berkata: ''Ajarilah anak kamu berenang, memanah dan berkuda secara lincah.''
Jadi bila nampak kolam renang diorang pakat serbu, tapi bila bapa dia nak terjun kolam je... maka timbul satu masalah !

Sebab takde baju renang yg dibenarkan di kolam renang. Peraturan kata, nak berenang kena pakai baju renang yg bentuknya spender/underware tu. Jadi tak boleh la kan.
Maka terpaksa carik yg sesuai dan sebenarnya baju renang lelaki mudah carik di mana-mana tapi seluar lelaki yang betul-betul tutup aurat, longgar payah nak jumpa. Seluar renang panjang yang terjumpa ada dijual potongannya macam gambar di bawah.....!!!!

Amacam boleh ke mandi pakai seluar panjang ketat camtu? Tak boleh la syeikhhh, rupabentuk, lurah semua nampak tu, kain melekat terus kat kulit, ketat la bro.

Purdah lagi...

Qaradawi shocked by the ban of niqab, purdah

Students of Al-Azhar University wearing niqab to class.

.

By now, almost everyone has heard of the recent statement by Sheikh al-Azhar Sayyid Muhammad Tantawi regarding the banning of purdah or niqab. It has caused a great shock not only to the ordinary muslims but also to the ulamas. Below is Yusof al-Qaradawi's latest statement concerning this issue where he expressed his shock with the ban of niqab. He said:

"No Muslim scholar, whether among the predecessors or contemporary scholars, has ever been reported to have regarded wearing niqab as forbidden except in the case of ihram for women. The scholarly difference regarding the issue of niqab is only over whether it is obligatory, recommendable, or merely permissible.
Thus it is untenable that a Muslim jurist would regard niqab as prohibited or even merely undesirable in Islam. Hence, I was really shocked to learn that the writer Baha' published an opinion attributed to some Al-Azhar scholars to the effect that they believe that veiling the woman's face falls under prohibiting what Almighty Allah has originally permitted. In fact, the advocates of this view cannot be said to be of firm knowledge about the Qur'an or the Sunnah or fiqh."

Qaradawi's full statement as below:
(source http://www.islamonline.net/)

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

.

There is an opinion that niqab is a bid`ah that is alien to Muslims and that it has nothing at all to do with the religion of Islam, having penetrated Muslim society during the ages of extreme deterioration. This is neither a scientific nor an objective view. It is an oversimplification of the issue, which deviates people from scrutinizing the subject as it really is.
Any person learned about the sources of knowledge and scholarly views cannot argue about the issue being controversial among scholars. I mean here the issue of whether it is permissible to uncover the woman's face or whether it is obligatory to veil it and the hands too.
Muslim scholars of the predecessors — including jurists, exegetes of the Qur'an, and scholars of Hadith — have differed over this issue. Their difference was due to their various understandings and attitudes towards the religious texts about the subject at hand, especially that there is no definitive clear-cut text about it. Had there been any, there would have been no scholarly difference regarding it.
Among the texts they have differed over is this Qur'anic verse: [ And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their zeenah (charms, or beauty and ornaments) except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof] (An-Nur 24:31).
Ibn Mas`ud was reported to have said while commenting on this verse, "[Except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof] here refers to the clothes and cloaks (women are wearing)." This means the outer garments that cannot be hidden.
Ibn `Abbas was also reported to have said while explaining this verse, "[Except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof] refers to kohl and rings." A similar view was also reported to have been adopted by Anas ibn Malik and `A'ishah. Sometimes Ibn `Abbas would add to "kohl and rings" "henna with which hands are tinted, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces." He might even refer tozeenah as the places where ornaments are worn, by saying "the face and palms of the hands." This was also reported to have been the opinion of Sa`id ibn Jubair, `Atta', and others.
Some scholars also included part of the woman's arm in what is referred to by [what (must ordinarily) appear thereof].
Furthermore, Ibn `Attiyah explained these words by saying that they refer to the parts of the woman's body that are unintentionally unveiled by means of wind and the like. (See the exegesis of the verse as explained by Ibn Jarir, Ibn Kathir, and Al-Qurtubi; and see also its explanation in Ad-Dur Al-Manthur, vol. 5, pp. 41-42.)
Scholars have also differed concerning the explanation of the words [draw their cloaks close round them] in the verse [O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, that so they may be recognized and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful] (Al-Ahzab 33:59).
Ibn `Abbas was reported to have said, commenting on this verse, an opinion contrary to what he was reported to have expressed as comment on the first verse referred to above! It was also reported that `Ubaidah As-Salmani, one of the Tabi`un (Successors) explained [drawing their cloaks] practically by covering his head and face and unveiling his left eye only. A similar example was also reported to have been set by Muhammad ibn Ka`b Al-Qardhi.
But `Ikrimah, servant of Ibn `Abbas, differed with them, saying "The woman is to cover the unveiled part of her chest by a cloak that she draws round her." Sa`id ibn Jubair said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to be seen by a man lawful for her to marry unless she puts on a face veil in addition to the hijab which extends from her head to her chest." (See Ad-Dur Al-Manthur, vol. 5, pp. 221-222 as well as the sources referred to above for an explanation of the relevant verse.)
As for my point of view on the issue, I see that the woman's face and hands are not part of her `awrah (parts of her body that should not be exposed in public), and hence, it is not obligatory for her to veil them. I also believe that the evidence supporting this opinion is stronger than that supporting the opposite opinion. Many contemporary scholars agree with me in this view, like Nasir Ad-Din Al-Albani (as shown in his book Hijab Al-Mar'ah Al-Muslimah fi Al-Kitab wa As-Sunnah), the majority of the Al-Azhar scholars in Egypt, the scholars of Az-Zaytunah University in Tunisia, the scholars of Al-Qarawiyeen University in Morocco, and many Pakistani, Indian, and Turkish scholars as well as others.
However, it is not right to claim that there is unanimity among contemporary scholars that it is permissible to uncover the Muslim woman's face and hands, as there are many scholars in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, a number of the other Gulf countries, Pakistan, and India, who believe that veiling the woman's face and hands is obligatory. Among them are the late eminent Saudi scholar Sheikh `Abdul-`Aziz ibn Baz, and the late well-known Pakistani scholar Abu Al-A`la Al-Mawdudi (as shown in his book Al-Hijab).
Living contemporary scholars who also believe that veiling the face is obligatory include the famous Syrian writer Dr. Muhammad Sa`id Ramadan Al-Buti, who published a letter in this respect, "To Every Young Woman Who Believes in Almighty Allah." There are also other letters and fatwas published from time to time that condemn women who uncover their faces and adjure them in the name of religion and faith to wear niqab and not to listen to the modern scholars who want to subjugate religion to modernism. The advocates of this view may even refer to me as one of those modern scholars!
But never do I hold that this opinion — that covering the woman's whole body except the face and hands is the obligatory attire for the Muslim woman — be imposed on the woman who believes in the other opinion, according to which veiling the face is obligatory and uncovering it is forbidden. I will only blame the advocates of the latter opinion if they attempt to impose their attitude on the proponents of the former one and accuse them of being sinful and wrongdoers for adopting it. It is agreed upon that, with regard to the controversial issues on which scholars have given different personal legal opinions, there is no blame to be placed on a person for following a certain personal legal opinion to the exclusion of others.
The advocates of my opinion and I, in turn, do not have any right to censure the supporters of the counteropinion for believing thatit is obligatory for women to wear niqab. For, first, this counteropinion is a scholarly one within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence, and, second, had we criticized them, we would have committed a mistake which we are originally against, that is, denying others the right to differ with us.
Moreover, there are some women who see that, to be on the safe side, wearing a face veil is not obligatory, but, rather, desirable, and draws its wearer closer to piety and fear of Allah. There is nothing wrong in so believing, and no one has the right to blame the proponents of this opinion for following it, so long as this would not be of any harm to others or contradict either public or personal interests.
No Muslim scholar, whether among the predecessors or contemporary scholars, has ever been reported to have regarded wearing niqab as forbidden except in the case of ihram for women. The scholarly difference regarding the issue of niqab is only over whether it is obligatory, recommendable, or merely permissible. Thus it is untenable that a Muslim jurist would regard niqab as prohibited or even merely undesirable in Islam. Hence, I was really shocked to learn that the writer Baha' published an opinion attributed to some Al-Azhar scholars to the effect that they believe that veiling the woman's face falls under prohibiting what Almighty Allah has originally permitted. In fact, the advocates of this view cannot be said to be of firm knowledge about the Qur'an or the Sunnah or fiqh.
Suppose even that wearing niqab is merely permissible — as I do myself believe — not obligatory or desirable. Even in such a case, any Muslim woman may wear it, and no one has the right to prevent her from doing so. It is her personal right, and in practicing it she neither falls short of her duties nor causes others harm. Even man-made laws and the conventions of human rights advocate the personal rights of people.
It is ironic that freedom of dress is given to those who choose to uncover parts of their bodies without encountering any objection, while severe censure is launched against the wearers of niqab who consider it a teaching of their religion that they cannot neglect!

Tantawi haramkan purdah
KAHERAH 9 Okt. - Imam besar Mesir, Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi (gambar) berkata, para pelajar dan guru-guru tidak lagi dibenarkan memakai purdah di dalam kelas dan asrama institusi pengajian Islam terulung, al-Azhar sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha kerajaan untuk menangani amalan radikal dalam Islam.
Tantawi yang juga merupakan ketua al-Azhar mengumumkan perkara itu, beberapa hari selepas beliau membuat kenyataan: purdah atau niqab 'tiada kena mengena dengan Islam'.
Tindakan beliau itu telah mencetuskan bantahan kuat daripada golongan yang menganggapnya sebagai satu serangan terhadap Islam serta beberapa pertubuhan hak asasi yang menganggap pengharaman niqab mencabuli kebebasan berperlembagaan.
Isu sebanyak mana tubuh wanita Islam perlu ditutup telah menjadi isu yang kerap dipertikai antara tokoh Islam.

Keistimewaan wanita diguna untuk agama

ANTARA lelaki dan wanita siapa yang lebih kuat? Tentu lah jawapan kita, lelaki kuat. Tetapi sebenarnya lelaki bukan kuat mana pun kerana kita nampak saja kuat dari segi fizikal misalnya, padahal sebenarnya wanita juga mempunyai kekuatan yang melebihi lelaki dalam hal-hal tertentu termasuk faktor dalaman mereka yang kuat, walaupun dari segi fizikal mereka lemah gemalai.

Mafhum satu hadis, Nabi s.a.w bersabda: 'orang yang kuat itu adalah mereka yang dapat menahan kemarahannya.'
Ini bermakna faktor dalaman menahan marah itu adalah satu kekuatan yang paling kuat.
Nak tahu wanita kuat atau tidak, cuba kita bayangkan point of view di bawah:
1-Wanita punya kuat menanggung kesakitan mengandung 9 bulan dan seterusnya bersalin. Ini Orang lelaki mesti kena respect habis golongan wanita. Lelaki bukan sahaja tiada kekuatan untuk berbuat demikian bahkan memang tak boleh pun. Kadang-kadang ada orang lelaki yang hendak lihat isterinya bersalin pun tak sanggup. Punya kuat orang wanita ini, bahkan bukan sorang malahan satu atau setengah dozen anak pun dia steady je. Lelaki sakit tangan sikit dah mintak isteri urut...
2-Wanita punya kuat menahan kesusahan menjaga anak dengan pelbagai kerenahnya tetap tabah dan bersabar. Bukan seminit dua, bahkan hari-hari 24 jam dia bersama anak-anak yang kecik hingga besar dari buang air besar kecil anak-anak hingga ke makan pakai anak-anak, semua dia sabar dan kuat menguruskannya tanpa minta elaun pun.
Lelaki baru jaga anak tak sampai setengah jam dah naik angin dengan perangai anak-anak maka lepas tu ada lah anak-anak kena luku, paling-paling pun tension dengan perangai anak, maka suami tu tidur atau keluar rumah kena teh kat luar. Lepas tu makan pakai suamipun dia minta isteri dia uruskan bahkan anak-anak pun urusan pun dah banyak.
3-Wanita kuat mengalirkan air mata yakni menangis, lelaki kuat mengalirkan air liur yakni tidur. Bila wanita ni bangun tahajud berdoa dia mudah menangis, merayu, merintih memohon daripada Allah maka doanya mudah makbul kerana kesungguhannya meminta sungguh-sungguh, bukan dengan percakapan sahaja bahkan meminta dengan fikir risau, hati dan perasaan. Maka masakan tidak doanya mudah diperkenankan. Lelaki kuat dengkur...
4-Wanita rata-ratanya (bukan semua) lebih kuat pengaruhnya kepada anak-anak berbanding lelaki. Ini kerana ibu lebih bersama dan memanjakan anak-anak, kalau anak-anak nak sesuatu dia akan cakap kepada ibu dulu. Bapa kalau dah tak boleh nak cakap apa dengan anak-anak, maka dia akan gunakan isterinya untuk jadi jurucakap kepada anak-anak. Lelaki memang kuat politik...
5-Wanita memang kuat. Sesetengah isteri, sudah lah urusan di rumah dia selesaikan bahkan ada pulak yang terpaksa bekerja di luar untuk membantu suami. Maknanya, suami tak cukup kuat untuk sara keluarga, maka isteri datang membantu menyara keluarga.

Mungkin banyak lagi yang boleh diambil contoh, namun sebenarnya kuat atau tidak, bukan menjadi persoalannya. Kerana lelaki dan wanita mempunyai kelebihan tersendiri dan sifat yang saling memerlukan antara satu sama lain dan bantu membantu dalam urusan kehidupan yang mana dengannya maka manusia akan tenteram dan tenang kehidupannya.
Namun begitu adalah penting untuk lelaki menghargai dan mencurahkan kasih sayang yang sebenar-benarnya kepada mereka. Dan mengasihi mereka bukan dengan cara kita memberi wang, gelang emas, kereta besar, rumah besar, alat make-up dan sebagainya.
Perkara itu adalah keperluan yang boleh diberikan mengikut kemampuan dalam menunaikan tanggungjawab dan kewajiban memberi nafkah dari serba serbi. Dalam hal ini kesederhanaan adalah jalan terbaik.
Namun jika kita mengasihi isteri, maka perkara pertama yang perlu diberikan ialah kefahaman agama, amalan agama dan kerja agama. Ini adalah teramat penting untuk membawa kepada kebahagiaan dan keselamatan di dunia dan akhirat. Jika tidak, nanti di akhirat lelaki akan didakwa oleh orang di bawah jagaan dan tanggungannya.
Wanita perlu diberitahu bahawa mereka juga dihantar sebagai umat Nabi s.a.w yang bertanggungjawab kepada agama Islam. Kerja sebenar mereka bukan basuh kain, memasak, sidai baju, cuci pinggan, layan suami, buat kek muffin dan sebagainya. Bahkan lebih daripada itu, kerja mereka adalah pembantu agama yakni bersama-sama dengan suami mereka membela dan menegakkan agama hingga agama tersebar ke seluruh dunia. Suami isteri perlu bantu membantu dalam hal agama dengan niat mencari keredhaan Allah.
Hari ini kita telah salah faham maksud sebenar umat ini dihantar, maka suasana rumah kita telah jauh daripada kehidupan beragama.
Iaitu, ruang tamu kita telah menjadi seperti lobi hotel, ruang rehat yang ada TV menjadi seperti panggung wayang, dapur macam restoran, bilik tidur macam bilik hotel, tempat basuh kain seperti kedai dobi dan sebagainya. Wanita seperti mesin mengeluarkan anak. Majalah hiburan dan isu semasa, mengumpat, gossip, dibincangkan disudut-sudut rumah, almari seperti butik, peti almari seperti bank, amalan agama mati di rumah. Maka keluar lah anak-anak yang runtuh nilai-nilai agama dari rumah-rumah.
Wanita telah menghabiskan air matanya di tempat tidak sepatutnya iaitu di depan TV ketika menonton hindustan sedangkan suaminya sedang ghast. Pengorbanan dan kesibukannya digunakan dengan perkara yang tak sepatutnya kerana mereka tidak diberitahu peranan dan kerja mereka yang sebenar. Mereka berlumba-lumba dengan cara yang salah, jika jiran beli perabot baru mereka pun nak yang baru dan sebagainya. wanita-wanita Islam bersidai di pusat membeli belah, merewang, membuang masa, meletakkan muka di lif-lif dan tangga pasaraya, mendedahkan aurat hingga semua lurah ditunjukkan kepada umum.
Ini adalah berpunca daripada kelemahan orang lelaki selaku bapa atau suami atau abang kepada adik perempuan yang gagal menjaga wanita-wanita Islam kita. Sesetangah lelaki yang begitu bersemangat mendengar bayan di markaz, khusyuk dengar kuliah agama di masjid dan surau tetapi membisu tak memberitahu sepatah haram kepada ahli keluarga. Atau suami tidak memberitahu isterinya yang berkongsi tempat tidur dan bantal.
Akhirnya wanita kita tidak faham lalu menyangka usaha agama adalah mengasingkan mereka, lalu tidak diambil endah.
Maka penting, kita libatkan isteri kita dalam usaha masturat dan ini adalah kehendak ulama yakni kita mencontohi kehidupan Nabi s.a.w dan para sahabat yakni wanita-wanita kita juga mencontohi kehidupan para sahabiah. Empat dinding rumah tempat wanita itu tinggal adalah satu khazanah yang melahirkan manusia berkualiti unggul hingga boleh menggoncangkan dunia. Nabi s.a.w dan para sahabat tidak boleh tidur di rumah jika ada harta di dalamnya, apabila Nabi s.a.w menerima hadiah berbentuk barang atau wang maka akan segera diagih dan disedekahkan kepada fakir miskin dan orang memerlukan. Nabi berada di masjid dan hanya pulang ke rumah setelah harta tersebut selesai disedekahkan.
Para sahabat yang mencontohi kehidupan Nabi s.a.w turut memahami bahawa mereka berasa tidak senang jika harta berada dalam rumah. Mereka mewujudkan rumah harta iaitu baitulmal. Sebab harta perlu diletak dalam rumah harta tetapi tidak sekali-kali di rumah mereka. Kehidupan para sahabat dan isteri mereka dengan penuh
keberkatan yang mana mereka bukan lah orang miskin bahkan Allah berikan pelbagai kurniaan kepada mereka hingga ada sesetengah ulama mengatakan kekayaan mereka
tidak dapat lagi dijangkau oleh kita. Namun begitu kesemua harta mereka diinfak dan digunakan di jalan Allah hingga mereka hanya berbuka dengan tamar dan air sejuk sahaja. Tiada apa-apa dalam rumah mereka, kosong, lantai dan dinding sahaja dengan kehidupannya yang amat sederhana.
Ulama berkehendakkan rumah-rumah seperti madrasah, suasana masjid di mana amal-amal agama dihidupkan, ada orang belajar dan mengajar yakni hidup amalan taklim, bacaan al-Quran, perbincangan mengenai iman, meningkatkan imal dan amal, berbicara mengenai kisah anbiya, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w, para sahabat r.hum, risau mengenai akhirat dan kepentingan menjalankan tanggungjawab menyeru manusia kepada Allah.
Ini perlu dimulakan walaupun sedikit demi sedikit bermula dengan taklim rumah. Hingga keluar dari rumah kita para alim, alimah hafiz hafizah dan manusia yang taat kepada Allah dan menjadi daie Allah. Mereka adalah orang Allah, yang dalam pemerliharaan Allah, tiada siapa boleh mengganggu mereka, walaupun bergerak seluruh dunia tetap dalam pemeliharaan Allah.
Wanita menjadi pendorong dan pemberi semangat kepada suami dan anak-anak lelaki untuk aktif dalam usaha agama. Bagaimana cerita seorang sahabat yang tempang lagi tua, apabila ditafakut oleh Nabi s.a.w, Nabi telah membenarkannya untuk tidak keluar berjihad lalu dia balik ke rumah. Tetapi apabila sampai di rumah isterinya berasa malu kerana suaminya tidak keluar di jalan Allah lalu memberi kata-kata semangat hingga suaminya malu kerana tidak keluar di jalan Allah.
Akhirnya Nabi s.a.w membenarnya keluar di jalan Allah lalu sahabat itu syahid di jalan Allah. Apabila jenazahnya hendak dibawa balik ke rumah, unta sahabat itu tidak mahu bergerak ke arah rumahnya, apabila ditanya rupa-rupanya dia telah berdoa supaya jenazahnya tidak lagi dipulangkan ke rumah. Begini lah peranan sahabiah 24 jam sentiasa fikir bagaimana agama boleh maju dalam kehidupan manusia dan semua sahabat mendapat dorongan daripada sahabiah. Apabila Abu Bakar r.a telah mewakafkan seluruh hartanya di jalan Allah maka tiada satu benda pun yang tinggal di rumahnya. Maka saudara maranya datang bertanya kepada anak perempuan Abu Bakar r.a apa yang telah
ditinggalkan, maka anak perempuannya dengan tegas dan yakin mempertahankan tindakan ayahnya dalam satu kisah yang meruntunkan jiwa.
Khadijah r.a asalnya wanita kaya, tetapi semuanya telah dibelanjakan hingga tiada apa lagi yang tinggal. Manusia yang pertama memeluk Islam adalah wanita iaitu khadijah r.a dan manusia yang pertama syahid juga adalah wanita iaitu Sumaiyah r.a pada zaman Nabi s.a.w.
Begitu banyak pengorbanan mereka yang tidak boleh diceritakan lagi di sini, tetapi pokoknya di sini adalah betapa pentingnya peranan wanita dalam mengembangkan agama sememangnya tidak boleh dinafikan lagi.
Wanita di zaman sahabiah begitu berani hingga mengalahkan lelaki zaman ini, mereka seolah-oleh lelaki. Hari ini lelaki Islam menjadi lemah kerana mereka berperangai seperti wanita di seluruh dunia. Sebagai contoh, lelaki sepatutnya bersolat di masjid secara berjemaah, tetapi lelaki zaman ini rata-rata lebih gemar bersolat di rumah bersendirian. Padahal bersolat di rumah bersendirian adalah amalan wanita.
Sebab itu umat Islam menjadi lemah di seluruh dunia kerana telah berperangai seperti wanita dalam banyak hal dan bukan setakat dalam solat sahaja.
Lelaki perlu menjadi benar-benar lelaki baru Islam menjadi kuat, menjadi lelaki adalah mengamalkan agama seperti mana di tunjukkan baginda Rasulullah s.a.w.
DAN apabila wanita bangun turut serta membantu agama, maka mereka menjadi seolah-olah lelaki dari segi keberanian.
Seperti contoh, kisah bagaimana Umar r.a semasa belum memeluk Islam beliau dilantik sebagai pahlawan yang hendak membunuh Nabi s.a.w. Dalam perjalanan beliau diberitahu bahawa saudaranya telah memeluk Islam lalu, dia pergi ke rumah saudaranya yang ketika itu sedang dalam sesi taklim iaitu membaca al-Quran.
Dalam kisah ini terdapat perbualan panjang yang kita boleh rujuk sendiri tetapi apa yang hendak dinyatakan di sini ialah Umar telah menampar saudara perempuannya hingga berdarah kepala. Tetapi apa yang dijawab oleh saudara perempuannya itu ialah jika kerana agama ini dia dipukul maka dia redha dan tidak akan berganjak.
Saudara perempuannya begitu berani menjawab dengan tegas hingga tersentak Umar lalu beliau bertanya apakah yang dibaca tadi dan dia mahu melihatnya, dan selepas dia berwuduk lalu membaca surah Toha, maka hidayah telah sampai kepada Umar r.a yang kemudiannya memeluk Islam di hadapan Nabi s.a.w. Di sini perlu dilihat betapa wanita telah menjadi seperti seorang lelaki yang berani.
Peranan wanita cukup luas dan hari ini, jika kita terlibat dalam usaha dakwah maka perlu dilibatkan sama usaha masturat untuk wanita. Dengan itu baru la umpama burung terbang dengan 2 sayap, jika tidak hanya dengan satu sayap yang tidak ke mana-mana. Dengan itu potensi wanita digilap dan memberi sumbangan besar kepada agama.
Jika mereka terlibat dalam usaha masturat maka mereka biasanya lebih komited dan berdisiplin berbanding lelaki. Apabila azan berkumandang, mereka dalam keadaan berwuduk berada di atas sejadah. Banyak doa-doa dihafal, al-Quran dan taklim dibaca setiap hari dan zikir, tahajud, dijaga dengan istiqamah begitu juga amalan lain.
Kesabaran, kesetiaan dan bersusah payah untuk agama sungguh menakjubkan. Percakapan iman yang lemah lembut tetapi memberi kesan dan zihin kata-kata membakar semangat yang memberi motivasi kepada lelaki. Lelaki perlu membantu tidak menyusahkan isteri kerana Nabi s.a.w sendiri membantu Aisyah r.a melakukan kerja-kerja rumah bahkan Nabi sendiri menjahit pakaiannya sendiri. Hari ini kita lelaki apa salahnya kita cuci pinggan, masak, basuh baju sekali sekala, kemas rumah dan kalau boleh buat sesuatu sendiri tak perlu menyusahkan orang rumah misalnya mengosok baju dan sebagainya jika mampu. Isteri-isteri kita sebenarnya bantu kita uruskan hal ehwal rumah bukan kita jadikan dia seperti orang gaji. Sebaliknya kita lah yang perlu membantu mereka. Halaman rumah Nabi s.a.w amat terkenal kerana kebersihannya kerana Nabi s.a.w sendiri yang membersihkannya dan Nabi s.a.w bergurau dengan Aisyah semasa membantu kerja-kerja rumah.
Ganjaran dan kelebihan yang tersedia untuk wanita solehah terlalu banyak hingga mereka boleh pilih mana-mana sahaja pintu syurga jika dia meninggal dunia dalam keadaan taat perintah Allah, dan suaminya redha kepadanya. Seorang wanita solehah lebih baik daripada 1,000 orang wali.
Bahkan mereka akan memasuki syurga 500 tahun terlebih awal daripada suaminya, dan mereka menjadi ketua kepada bidadari syurga. Suami dan isteri akan dipertemukan di syurga yang kekal abadi. Sebab itu, di dunia ini, tanda suami mengasihi isterinya ialah dengan memberi agama, amal agama dan usaha agama.
Wallahualam.

Why she won't wear hijab?

A conversation for Muslim sisters:

"I'm so tired."

"Tired of what?"

"Of all these people judging me."

"Who judged you?"

"Like that woman, every time I sit with her, she tells me to wear hijab."

"Oh, hijab and music! The mother of all topics!"

"Yeah! I listen to music without hijab…haha!"

"Maybe she was just giving you advice."

"I don't need her advice. I know my religion. Can`t she mind her own business?"

"Maybe you misunderstood. She was just being nice."

"Keeping out of my business, that would be nice..."

"But it's her duty to encourage you do to good."

"Trust me. That was no encouragement. And what do you mean `good` ?"

"Well, wearing hijab, that would be a good thing to do."

"Says who?"

"It's in the Qur'an, isn't it?"

"Yes. She did quote me something."

"She said Surah Nur, and other places of the Qur'an."

"Yes, but it's not a big sin anyway. Helping people and praying is more important."

"True. But big things start with small things."

"That's a good point, but what you wear is not important. What's important is to have a good healthy heart."

"What you wear is not important?"

"That's what I said."

"Then why do you spend an hour every morning fixing up?"

"What do you mean?"

"You spend money on cosmetics, not to mention all the time you spend on fixing your hair and low-carb dieting."

"So?"

"So, your appearance IS important."

"No. I said wearing hijab is not an important thing in religion."

"If it's not an important thing in religion, why is it mentioned in the Holy Qur'an?"

"You know I can't follow all that's in Qur'an."

"You mean God tells you something to do, you disobey and then it's OK?"

"Yes. God is forgiving."

"God is forgiving to those who repent and do not repeat their mistakes."

"Says who?"

"Says the same book that tells you to cover."

"But I don't like hijab, it limits my freedom."

"But the lotions, lipsticks, mascara and other cosmetics set you free?!

What`s your definition of freedom anyway?"

"Freedom is in doing whatever you like to do."

"No. Freedom is in doing the right thing, not in doing whatever we wish to do."

"Look! I've seen so many people who don't wear hijab and are nice people, and so many who wearhijab and are bad people."

"So what? There are people who are nice to you but are alcoholic. Should we all be alcoholics? You made a stupid point."

"I don't want to be an extremist or a fanatic. I'm OK the way I am without hijab."

"Then you are a secular fanatic. An extremist in disobeying God."

"You don't get it, if I wear hijab, who would marry me?!"

"So all these people with hijab never get married?!"

"Okay! What if I get married and my husband doesn't like it? And wants me to remove it?"

"What if your husband wants you to go out with him on a bank robbery?!"

"That's irrelevant, bank robbery is a crime."

"Disobeying your Creator is not a crime?"

"But then who would hire me?"

"A company that respects people for who they are."

"Not after 9-11"

"Yes. After 9-11. Don't you know about Hanan who just got into med school?

And the other one, what was her name, the girl who always wore a white hijab…ummm…"

"Yasmeen?"

"Yes. Yasmeen. She just finished her MBA and is now interning for GE."

"Why do you reduce religion to a piece of cloth anyway?"

"Why do you reduce womanhood to high heals and lipstick colors?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"In fact, I did. Hijab is not just a piece of cloth. It is obeying God in a difficult environment. It is courage, faith in action, and true womanhood.

But your short sleeves, tight pants…"

"That's called `fashion`, you live in a cave or something? First of all, hijab was founded by men who wanted to control women."

"Really? I did not know men could control women by hijab."

"Yes. That's what it is."

"What about the women who fight their husbands to wear hijab? And women in France who are forced to remove their hijab by men? What do you say about that?"

"Well, that's different."

"What difference? The woman who asked you to wear hijab…she was a woman, right?"

"Right, but…"

"But fashions that are designed and promoted by male-dominated corporations, set
you free? Men have no control on exposing women and using them as a commodity?! Give me a break!"

"Wait, let me finish, I was saying…"

"Saying what? You think that men control women by hijab?"

"Yes."

"Specifically how?"

"By telling women how and what to wear, dummy!"

"Doesn't TV, magazines and movies tell you what to wear, and how to be `attractive'?"

"Of course, it's fashion."

"Isn't that control? Pressuring you to wear what they want you to wear?"

[Silence]

"Not just controlling you, but also controlling the market."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you are told to look skinny and anorexic like that woman on the cover
of the magazine, by men who design those magazines and sell those products."

"I don't get it. What does hijab have to do with products."

"It has everything to do with that. Don't you see? Hijab is a threat to consumerism,
women who spend billions of dollars to look skinny and live by standards of fashion designed by men…and then here is Islam, saying trash all that nonsense and focus on your soul, not on your looks, and do not worry what men think of your looks."

"Like I don't have to buy hijab? Isn't hijab a product?"

"Yes, it is. It is a product that sets you free from male-dominated consumerism."

"Stop lecturing me! I WILL NOT WEAR HIJAB!

It is awkward, outdated, and totally not suitable for this society ... Moreover, I am only 20 and too young to wear hijab!"

"Fine. Say that to your Lord, when you face Him on Judgment Day."

"Fine."

"Fine."

[Silence]

"Shut up and I don't want to
hear more about hijab niqab schmijab Punjab!"

[Silence]

She stared at the mirror, tired of arguing with herself all this time.

Successful enough, she managed to shut the voices in her head, with her own opinions triumphant
in victory on the matter, and a final modern decision accepted by the society - but rejected by the Faith:

"Yes!" - to curls on the hair - "No!" - to hijab!

"And he(/she) is indeed a failure who corrupts it [the soul]!"
[Holy Quran 91:10]

"Nay! You prefer the life of this world; While the hereafter is better and more lasting."
[Holy Quran: 87:16-17]

"You are the best community (Ummah) raised up for (the benefit of) humanity; enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong and believing in Allah."[Holy Quran: 3:110]
