#nohijabday

AUTHOR: Anon, ExMuslim

The greatest religion on earth liberated women some 1440 years ago.

I am sorry. How can anyone say that with a straight face? Seriously though, how many times has that phrase or the like been tossed around. “Islam gave women rights before anyone else did.” or as is stated in the title “Islam liberated women .”

First let me correct that statement:

“Islam allowed the liberation of FREE women.”

Most women were regarded as nothing more than property that was exchanged between men and baby girls were often buried alive in the desert by their fathers. So when a new religion popped up saying hey guys maybe women aren’t property, of course that was liberating.

Well here is the kicker, it was only Free women that were declared not property, slave women were still regarded on the same level of pots and pans.

The hijab was used as a means to distinguish between slaves and free women.  Before any Muslims lovingly tells me Islam treats everyone as equal and that I’ve made this up, here is a little Hadeeth from Anas ibn Malik who is regarded as being trustworthy and one of the major narrators of Hadeeth.

He reported that : ‘Umar once saw a slave-girl that belonged to us (to Anas) wearing a scarf, so Umar hit her and told her: ‘Don’t assume the manners of free woman.’

Whilst still on the topic of slave women, did you know that they were actually made to walk around bare breasted?

Go Women’s Rights?

Another proclamation by Muslims is that wearing the hijab is liberating because it means that they will not be sexualized by men. I am sorry to break it to those people but there are such things as a hijabi fetish. Lovely Mia made a career out of it.

Women in Islam say that they  choose to wear the hijab, but I can tell you right now that most of them don’t even know why they are wearing it.

Oh they know that Allah tells them to because that’s what their parents told them which is what the imams told them, but can they name the ayats and surahs? Do they know the hadeeth? No.

For your reference it is AlNur Ayat 31:

وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَىٰ عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ ۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِنَّ ۚ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

“And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed. “

Now if the hijab was really a choice why do many Muslim women commonly refer to non covering women as a candy that doesn’t have a wrapper on it, and then state who wants to eat a unwrapped candy.

These same women also refuse to acknowledge that there are women who have been forced to wear the hijab, they say things like “Oh but that isn’t the real Islam”.

Does that mean in the “real” Islam women don’t need to wear the hijab? But if that’s the case, why do some Muslim women degrade other women who do not cover?

But what would happen to these women, who so religiously (Ha PUN!) defend the hijab, removed them? Most say that they wouldn’t but I am curious. Is it the fear of Allah stopping them or fear of their father’s fists?

Also have you ever wondered why older Muslim women don’t need to cover? I mean if the hijab is a religious and liberating thing, don’t you think that women would be wearing it till the day they die. Why are they given this option?

I’ll tell you.

Muslim women who wish to wear the hijab should be permitted to do so.

Women (Muslim or not) who wish to *not* wear the hijab should be permitted *not* to do so.

Hijab should be neither mandated nor proscribed. Hijab should be permitted for those who wish to wear it and optional for those who wish not to wear it.

Question: You're an American non-Muslim man, Jimmy. Why do you care so much about #NoHijabDay?

Stupid hijabi apologetics.

https://quranx.com/24.31

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

https://quranx.com/33.59

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Bukhari/USC-MSA/Volume-6/Book-60/Hadith-318/

Narrated Aisha:

Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So `Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, "O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out. Sauda returned while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I went out to answer the call of nature and `Umar said to me so-and-so." Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), "You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs."

Things that are in the quran are not merely helpful suggestions. They’re (purportedly) the eternal, perfect Word of Allah, and thus divine commandments.

Hijab is, by definition, for no woman anywhere, a choice as it has already been declared from above to be mandatory. The only “choice” is to be good and obey Allah, or be wicked and disobey Allah.
