As a non-Muslim, I've always wanted to ask, why is there a prohibition against "drawing" the Prophet Muhammad? As Americans, we live in a country where freedom of speech and expression is practiced and celebrated. I can understand if MUSLIMS are prohibited from drawing the Prophet, or risk a fatwah and being killed -- but ALL people are prohibited? This is silly. It makes no sense. In the U.S., we can draw, paint or burn whatever we want, and not be killed for it. What say you?
@Tuxster3 As Muslims we do not make drawings of any humans...not just the Prophet. It is our belief that Allah will ask anyone who makes images to bring them to life on the day of judgement. Even the Bible states that thou shalt make no graven images. The same is true in Islam. It is not what ="man's law" says we can or cannot do...it is what Allah (GOD) says we can or cannot do.
@hijabedforAllah This is YOUR God and YOUR religious beliefs - not mine. When an artist paints a portrait, that painting is NOT a "graven image". To believe otherwise is to be just plain stupid. Do you REALLY believe that the portraits of the 17th century Great Dutch Masters are "graven images"? As the old saying goes, stupid is as stupid does.
I've always been under the impression that Hijab may or may not have strong religious significance for a Muslim woman, depending on the culture, family, or the individual, some of my friends choose to wear and it's their choice, others feel more pressure from their parents, the important thing is I value the power of the individual to make that choice, if they wear it or not, they're true to their convictions =) God bless
Mashallah! You guys are so diverse in terms of ethnicity... And yall were all born in to the religion? What are the girls ethnicities if ya dont mind.
I must admit to being very ignorant when it comes to Islamic practices and Islam in general but I'm learning, slowly but surely. These videos are a big help, thank you.
@Lonestardot It's just used to have a description of god, it says in the Qur'an that god is not a man or woman. Also french is a language that describes this as he/she, but things aren't women and men...
Why are some Muslim women allowed to show some of their hair? I noticed Pakistani women do this. Most of their head is covered but some hair is exposed...
Fatima! :) you should do another
"Ask a Muslimah documentary film" or even like
"A day in a Muslimah's life documentary film"
were as you get a bunch of ( Young/Teens ) Muslimah's & do a short film about there life as being a Muslimah '
-lol just an idea :)

@Red2Black444. well proper hijab is every thing covered besides the face and hands. If there is a little hair showing, that's not proper. ;)

There you go. We'll be stopping by with a beaker full of battery acid to check up on you later.
We would gang rape you to teach you a lesson, but your father doesn't seem to be around.

It's culture their following, not religion. They should learn about their religion and why they do what they do: Not because their parents did it.
Even if you find your having to go against your parents for Islam, you should- thats what the Followers of the parents did.
