[quote]Assalamoalikum sholars are just great minds who think an reason , a sign that thay are intellectually alive . But the greatest mind and thought is yet of our creator Allah subhanahu wa taalah .He blesses people with understanding of His deen ,that is surely His greatest gift to us . without which we would have been lost souls , lost and destroyed and forgotten souls. Most respectfully brother mujahid , what I understand is that basic things for human beings to follow are the same in all times ,that is why Quraan is for all humanity and all times as we all agree. Firstly on the issue of hijab I disagree with ghamidis stance . I being a woman , from not observing the hijab and then to observing it with understanding alhamdulilah know what protection it has provided me with .i being a doctor have had to work in remote areas of lyari hospital in pakistan and then even in posh hospitals like the Aga khan hospital , and men; be it doctors or patients ;apart from some who lower their gaze : irrespective of their education and intellectual level , have a habit of staring at women , if not so observing them closely .this forum has people who talk of listening to your inner voice , and my inner voice tells me that covering my self protects only me .and women who cover their hair and even their faces show that they are conscious about preserving their chastity .yes I know chaste women who continue to be chaste whether or not they cover, but I have observed them to be easy targets of harassment and molestation even when one is working in the noble profession of medicine. He encourages women to cover their heads as part of a strong muslim tradition but since Quran does'nt make it mandatory for muslim women to cover their heads so does'nt he.Would you make any directive mandatory which Quran has'nt Quraan uses the word khimaar, draw your khimaar over your bosoms , khimaar was a piece of cloth used to cover the hair and thrown back by the ladies of that times , and Quraan tells us to put it over the bosoms . now as you observe the abrahamic religions , all three from the same source , the christian nuns and the practising jew women cover thier hair . it seems to me that it point to what our creator wants us to do may Allah guide me and forgive me if anything i have written is incorrect salaam[/quote]
