Do you were hijaab?

Demure · Post by **Demure** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 6:26 pm

I had a conversation with good Somali friends of mine (none of which wear hijaab) about covering the hair. And what I found interesting was the wildest one of the bunch said she will make her daughters wear it at the earliest age as possible, when I asked her why? she said it's best to teach them young, then I asked her if you believe so why don't you cover your hair now? and she said she is not ready yet!! and she had the audacity to blame her mother for not enforcing it with her.

Is there such a thing I'm not ready to wear it now I will do it at a later date? You either wear it or you don't! After a lot of arguments she still saw nothing amiss with her conflicting beliefs. Anyway what I wanted to ask is; would you enforce it with your young daughters to wear it as early as around 10 yrs of age or possibly even younger? or not really....

demure,

why not just wash the hair?? the only reason somali women wear that thing and cover their hair is because they are lazy and won't comb thier nabby head.

whats the point of covering hair?? when i can see the eys and lush lips ? surley no somali guy has a hair fetish like Arabs..

demure do you wear that shit??? and bare ur face, eyes and lips??

I am a Muslim women, why not wear a Hijab?

Demure , melodramatic woman. Do I detect a sense of anti-Islamic behaviour from you ? I am not happy young lady. Ten is old, nine year old girl have their period these days. I plan to make my daughters wear their hijab at the age of five , cute pink hijab with go mareen skin colour lool.

I have never been forced to wear the hijab. I dont believe in forcing, I believe in educating my daughters on why they should wear the hijab rather than demand they wear it. Half of the youth today dont know what Islam is all about, you are lucky if you find one that can tell you why we need to wear the hijab or how the hijab came about.

The issue I have with the Somali community as a whole is why stress on hijab so much? I have never seen parents fuss about prayer?s Prayer is important. The first thing examined in the hereafter is your prayer. Allah will ask did you as a muslim establish your prayers, if your prayers workout then everything will work out for you. Prayering is the light down the tunnel.

Personally I would be worried about my child not praying than if they are not wearin the hijab. The prayer will strength their weakness increase their iman. Then with the will of Allah your daughter will wear the hijab. Children need to be taugh to learn the meaning of the quraan to know why are they doing what they are doing. So many parents are so negative, haram this haram that, they will never explain why this or that is haram. Alot of them lack parent skills. And thats where many are disadvantaged.

That freind of your needs a blow to her face. She is old enough she should know what is expected of her.

X.playa typical unpious isaaq way to go.

Yeah but what value does the prayer have if you are going to take of your hijaab after the prayer??

Xplaya we dont cater to old filthy men. Hence why we cover up. We tend to hide from old preteders like yourself. Allah is all mighty is wise. I am more than glad to wear the niqab in the presence of you.

High class-Prayers is part of what distinguishes you from a non-muslim. The hijab is part of modesty. The two are laws laided down by allah. I think we should stress on the issue of prayer rather than hijab. Regardless of what you do if you perfect your prayers then your prayers will be accepted. Remember everytime you pray all your minor sins from one salaad to the next is erased. Imagine if you didnt pray and you wore the hijab what use would that be? Praying is the rope that links you to your rabi (Lord). Loose that then you are in grave danger. Some ulimaas agree not to pray Salaad janasa on the individual that didnt pray. Thats a serious issue to think about. Hijad in that regard is a lesser issue.

Highclass, are you saying hijaab is more valuable than Salaad?

Cadeey, Somehow I don't think you wear hijaab? am I wrong? which will then prompt me to categarize you in the same bucket as my crazy friend...

I agree with educating your children as to forcing them but I won't make them wear it, they have to want to do it on their own.

Xplaya, No I don't wear hijaab nor do I like dirac.

I understand where she is coming from, parents do play a key role in the hijab wearing. if parents dont enforce thier children not to wear it, they dont feel its as important.

as for me, yes i will enforce my girls to wear it at a very young age. in this case, not only will she learn to wear it, but she would feel weird witout wearing one, since she got use to wearing it. i would start making her wear it at age 3, and age 7 i will force her to wear it, and make her do every else she has to do as a Muslim gir/woman.

lol Demure so quick to jump to a hasty conclusion. I dont wear the hijab , but I will make my daughters wear it a tender young age. I dont wear it because I choose not to wear it. When my daughters grow up then by all means they have the choose to remove it. The hijab for us is a culture it is never about religion. Back in the dark ages a young lady never wore hijab unless she was married. Hijab was a symbol of martial status. This would explain why Xplaya has a fetish for uncovered women.

I wouldnt ever ENFORCE it on any daughter of mine. I think salaat and many other things come first. If my daughter wants to wear one, then beelo, lakiin why force them and make them believe its as/more important as/than prayer? Girls who are forced, without being made to understand what the hijaab is...are the ones who will hate it the most...and as children...may equate that with the diin. I would rather my kids loved the diin first, then thought about the hijaab when they want to/'feel ready'.

Demure....

ItÂ’s never helpful 2 compel people 2 do something out of their will. I know a lot of girls who been brought up in a courteous and extremely religious house environment, but yet again none of them wears scarf, although their parents ask them 2 wear it constantly.

ItÂ’s apparent that Muslim ladies should wear scarf. ItÂ’s not a matter of choice like some ppl claims, but an Islamic obligation. IÂ’ll recommend my daughters 2 wear it, and clarify why is important 2 wear it, and what our religion teaches us (but never twist their arm, unless they totally rebuff the idea. Then, I should step in as a mother and persuasively convince them otherwise). Furthermore, request them 2 examine 2 situations. 1) The stalking theyÂ’ll stumble upon if they refuse 2 wear the scarf, 2) How most of the Muslims will address/greet them, and the respect theyÂ’ll earn from the rest, if they wear the Hijaab. Therefore, the scarf is not just a piece of cloth u put on ur head, but also a method of protection (from others desires and harassments...........
