[quote]Nida,

Thank you. I respect that you respect other people's views. You have never accused me or hurled accusations, I think Rakhtal started it. However one should be careful and not think that their belief is final and correct. We are all human, and there is always room for error. I will never be certain of whatever my interpretation is, if that is correct or not. This approach keeps me on guard and trying to correct myself if I am mistaken. However if I were to think like you that I am certain, then I will be a fundamentalist.

If I thought that the 'proof' by Marwan was satisfactory, then we would not be having this discussion.

If Allah (SWT) wants to order something, He clearly orders it. There is no confusion about His orders. Pork is haram, Riba is haram, etc. Covering the head is not specifically ordered, and you can interpret it any way you like. It is not shariah, and I will debate any one who tries to change the laws of Allah, unless I am otherwise convinced.

I have already given you example of Hazrat Sakina (daughter of Imam Hussain). She did not consider the head cover a requirement. She openly confronted the male elites who used the head cover as a tool in their society. Most women who were prostitutes and entertainers of the time, they did not do the head cover. All the rest of the women did it. This had become the norm. To break this culture, she openly rejected the head cover. If this was a requirement of Shariah, then she would not have done it. This is found in Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk or Tarikh al-Tabari, book by Al-Tabari, a famous Muslim historian and Quran Tafsir writer. You can do your research on Tabari.

Once again I thank you for respective other's views.[/quote]
