The Hijab, Uncovered

THe Hijab, Uncovered

One playful morning without much hesitancy
She let fly, unwrapped, unveiled, clothed modesty
What harm it be, to let the world see, how beautifully
The sun makes her hair gleam?
But so her sign came to be;
The sky opened up to cries, thunderous screams.
Let pour to rains and grey shadows unseen,
Casting their disapproval.
She realised the sin of her deed
As if she’d given God a plural
Or a sign she could take from this.
Hijaban empress delicate, let the gentleman miss-
His exposed wills, chains on your wrists
‘Tis only to Allah you submit.
So she guarded her beauty in thankfulness
For what Allah can give He can surely take
Like the beauty from the face
Of the female running through red-lights of disgrace.
You are not of those, your beauty takes to prose
As the purest glow, of noor – yes a light!
What other kind of splendour does He recognise?
There is no other one in sight.

The ‘Hijab’ today is thought to be the head-covering worn by Muslim women. From its actual definition it means ‘to curtain, to veil, to shelter’, and so to observe hijab one must behave accordingly, as well as dressing in the appropriate manner. In doing so, this lends to the wider characteristics a believing woman should uphold such as modesty, dignity and self-honour.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE ISLAMIC HIJAB

Covering ALL the body; On the authority of the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “When the verse was revealed that they should cast their outer garments over their bodies’, the women of the Ansar (Literally: the helpers.  The inhabitants of Medina, who helped those who migrated from Makkah to Medina, offering them shelter and food) came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing outer garments.”

Women & Perfume

(Compiled & translated by Moosaa ibn John Richardson) The Order for Perfumed Women to Return to Their Homes & Bathe & the Ruling on Their Prayer Offered Outside Their Homes “The prayer of a woman who wears perfume to go to the Masjid is not accepted until she returns & takes a bath, like the bath of janaabah (after sexual intercourse, i.e. a full bath).”
