Salam to all of you… sorry for not posting for quite long time… I’m too busy with so many assignments and examinations as well as presentation... And to release my tension doing all that things for continuously two weeks, I have read a magazine... (sorry, I can’t tell the name of the magazine) and it is about a celebrity with his wife who gave birth last month.. (For your information, the wife is free hair, not wearing hijab/tudung).
In the story, it mentions that the couple hopes that their baby boy will become a good man in the future. According to the celebrity, he and his wife always recite Quranic verses especially Surah Yaasin in Friday night, and put the baby just besides them so that the baby can also listen to what his parents recite…
From that story… I start to think…
To recite Quranic verses which is also including Surah Yaasin, a woman should cover her aurah properly whereby she should wear hijab to cover her hair and the head. Similarly, when a woman wants to perform prayer, she should well-covered herself before facing the God in the prayer. There is no situation whereby it is allowed for women to perform prayer without covering her aurah properly.
Then, I’m now wondering…
If a woman knows that she should not expose any part of her self while performing prayer because she is facing the God at that time, then what makes her feels not guilty for not wearing hijab outside in the public area? If facing the God, Who is the Creator, she has to cover herself properly, then why it is not being applied also to the life while facing and being around with so many people including those of opposite sex?
Is it the matter of hidayah? Those free hair people always say, when exclamation (hidayah) comes, they will wear hijab at that time. But do they know the date of their death? Exactly no! Then why they just easily say so? How if they die tomorrow or at the night at that day? Hidayah is totally out of our control. It is the God’s matter. Only the God can give hidayah to whoever He wants. And we should always remind ourselves that hidayah is something which people have to ask for, not just waiting without any effort to seek for it.
So, what are the other reasons for Muslim women for not wearing hijab outside while at the same time, they still reciting the Qur’an as well as performing prayers? Is it because they themselves don’t want to wear the hijab? Or is it they are forced to do so? If they are forced to do so, why don’t they fight for it? Isn’t the God’s commands should be given priority? Think about it!
Some people argue that it is not about how they dress up, but the most important thing is behavior. What is inside their heart will only known by the God. We always hear people say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Do you agree with the statement? I personally don’t agree with it. For me, it is normal for us to judge something based on what we can see with our naked eyes. The truth is, rather than saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, the proper way to say it, is by saying, “Don’t judge a book ONLY by its cover”.
WALLAHU ‘ALAM…
