The Quran spells out specifically the Hijab in two great verses: 24:31 and 33:59. Some comments, observations and a little demonstration...

Highly recommended video, below, please watch:

  • Also, in the hadith in which the Prophet tells his daughter that a women should cover everything but her face and hands he simply points to her face and hands. When a person points to your face, how do you know he is not pointing to your entire head?

  • @fopower Thanks for this thoughtful comment also. What you seem to be saying is that Asma didnt not understand what was being said to her and then she conveyed it with this misunderstanding. This is problematic as this makes explainer/clarifier of the Quran (Muhammad - saw) unable to portray the meaning of the Quran and all the people of Asmas' time unable to understand the "true" meaning of whatever the Messenger said to them?

    See: 16:44, 16:64, 5:92, 4:59, 59:7, 4:65, 3:31, 4:80 etc etc etc.

  • @fopower

    I believe that Muhammad (pbuh) was clear in his explanation of the Quran and he was understood by the people of his time (especially the great women).

    To imply that 'Asma maybe didnt know what her Father meant so I dont know what he meant' is not to say anything at all.

    "He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah; but if any turn away, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds)." Quran 4: 80.

    May God guide us all always closer to His Truth. Ameen.

  • as a muslim sister I respect your opinion on this. However I do not appreciate that this is the only opinion that islamic scholars and imams have decided to listen to and convey.

    The fact the women already were wearing the "khimars" on their heads indicates that this was a cultural practice- the passage in the Quran simply tells them to cover their breasts- the importance of covering their heads is not discussed.

  • @fopower Thank you for your comment Sister.

    You say that the Quran "simply tells them [women] to cover their breasts".

    This is inaccurate. The Quran says "walyadribna" the khimar to cover the chest. "walyadribna " means to draw, this of course can not be interpreted as you have, as first the khimar must be removed from the head.

    Also, that the khimar IS a head-covering means that when the Quran is using the word "khimar" then head-covering is actually being discussed.

  • Haha forgot to mention a Muslim brother in hijab is sorta amusing

  • ;-P

  • As salamu aleykum; barakaLLah feek...I don't think I could stay so cool and friendly about it (I've tried reasoning with her too) This kind of misguidance has to be fought cause it's all together dangerous as they (quranites: wich of course she denied to be) try and distort so many aspects of the deen. Keep it up for the sake of those who might fall into that trap.

  • Peace

    Whether Khimr = headscarf or veil is not the point Quran says use this garment to cover CHEST (& not HEAD.)

    Consider statement ;Use your toothbrush to clean your shoes. I am not asking you to brush your teeth but to clean your shoes despite using a "toothbrush".

    Allah will judge us on what we dispute. Let us all sincerely seek and ask to be shown the TRUTH. Allah knows best

  • I've really come to appreciate the methodological and educated way you present Islam. I'm a hijab-wearer personally and many Muslims I know do say that it is not mandatory. I'll forward your video to them.
