NO “ladies’HIJAB” found in the Quran. The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but not for ladies. Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found) In Quran 33.59 - “ … JILBAB over themselves…” in Quran 24.31 - “… Khimar over the Jayb..” The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31 - Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING, it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc. There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran, transliteration of Quran 24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals : khumur, juyoob] Quran 24.31 (see the part of the verse they say has hijab ) // *..put forth the Khimars OVER THE JAYBs…*// KHIMAR = COVERING and JAYB just means OPENING - like an opening in a dress, deep-neck, like shirt pocket - is a jayb To verify from the Quran check this example in //Quran 28.32 (part) “…. yadaka fee jayb’ika …”. // “… put your hand in your Jayb..” (clearly a pocket or opening in the dress) (or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is. Look at where the importance is in the verse: “COVERING over the Jayb” - but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB - by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - gradually shifting the importance of COVERING the Jayb - giving importance away from the Jayb seems like distraction from the main emphasis. - AND also these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings - please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from? We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran - in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran - see where the word is used again. QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings). They should know when the same root word is used for intoxicants even then it’s used for “COVER” - - any intoxicant or alcohol COVERS the ability INSIDE THE MIND - - Please NOTE : khumur /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head. How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands? They’re Spreading culture and calling it religion - They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion OTHER religious groups were ALREADY wearing it in the desert. IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran AND they should not add words in translations. JILBAB: Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED” So the condition is to be recognised : how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully? - So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran. Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed. Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY. “… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna… “ -- //Quran 33.59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBAB over themselves . In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED and not be HARASSED. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful// -- Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also. - Some of them will not VERIFY what is in the Quran - word by word. And you may get to see how they will jump to start calling IGNORANT and names to the person showing them the research.

@SS Sister, also go watch hijab videos from Sheikha Haifaa Younis and Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan .

[@sam_mirza]

The Quran describes people according to their behavior not appearance. It doesn't matter if you have a beard, if you wear a thobe, if you have an Arabic name, or any of the dozens of superficial expressions of faith that Sect/Firqa Muslims generally place a higher value on. The Quran talks about behaviors. // *"The servants of the most merciful are they who walk on the earth with humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace."* - Quran 25:63 *"And they who do not bear witness to lies, and when they pass by vanity, they pass by it with dignity. And those who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not act as if they were deaf and blind."* - Quran 25:72-73 // So if you aren't behaving as the Quran describes; your beard, your thobe, or whatever else you have incorporated into your identity will not help you. Unless the words of the Quran describe your behavior you have a major problem. On the other hand, if the Quran is describing your behavior and says God loves it then you don't need anything else, you are already there, you just have to keep it up. You don't have to grow a beard, change your name, wear clothes foreign to your culture or anything like that. If you still want to that's fine but if your behavior is on point that's all that matters. Behavior is the goal of life, that is what the Quran says. All of us are supposed to incorporate that behavior into our identities or die trying, that is the goal of this life. It's hard but anyone can do it with enough of dedication and discipline. Are you working on making your appearance your Muslim identity as if you were putting on makeup?. Work on what the Quran says is important - behavior. Mold your identity to correspond to behaviors God likes AND then you are a servant of God no matter your name or your appearance. If you fail to do that nothing will help you.

Thank you for this video. This is the most comprehensive and concise video (or any form of content for that matter) I've seen on hijab, and unlike most other content on this topic you have been nothing but kind, respectful and compassionate throughout. And honestly, this is the first video that made me consider the hijab, unlike other content which just comes across as condescending and frankly just feels like men bossing women around. I hope to be a scholar one day who's as well-spoken and understanding as you.

[@hazelthunderjumpsdimension6324]

Focusing on only Quran: If Muslims stressed covering the breasts with their khimar more than every strand of hair with their khimar maybe things would be different. I don’t think anything can negate the styles of khimar, other than it needing to be drawn over the breasts. Meaning if someone wore a khimar that did show parts of their hair, parts of their ear, parts of their neck, covering the breasts doesn’t mean those other things now must be covered. As we already know, most khimars are not being drawn over the breasts. And if Allah (swt) commanded that particularly to be done with the khimar, then why isn’t why stressed in the community at all? It’s rarely stressed in the community what so ever. So idk, I’ll continue think about it.

[@aysha.s2566]

I know right, many muslim women don't wear the hijab over their chests. even if they wear an abaya, the hijab is very small and covers only their head and neck. The chest should be covered with the hijab as well. We Indians and Pakistanis wear a hijab more decently at home. we just put it over the head and bring it over the chest and put the remaining part on a shoulder, simply on the shoulders and chest, without covering the head. This is the way we stay at home, outside we wear burqa and hijab with proper coverage and most women wear niqab as well. I don't know how women can go showing their chest outside of their homes, and some wear so tight wedding gowns with hijab like thats too much. Astagfirullah. I as a woman feel that its very wrong and that's not a proper hijab. May Allah guide us all.

I genuinely did not believe that covering the hair was a requirement from ALLAH, and whenever I wore the hijab my intention was only to be modest according to the standards of the people around me (if they believe having my hair out is provocative, then I should cover my hair to not offend them, but really it's not a requirement outside of that). I have always been very suspicious of this rule because of how many times I've seen "Islam" (aka the interpretations of hadiths) be weaponized against women in an abhorrent way. Hearing this explanation from you makes a huge difference. Maybe it's wrong that I don't trust men for rulings about women, if so may God forgive me for it, but it's the truth in my heart. God bless you for posting this explanation online and presenting points in this way. I will reflect and pray, hoping God guides me and gives me peace and clarity about what the right decision is.

Starting with the office analogy, we have to see that it is not what the boss said that makes taking off the shirt seem wrong but the already established rules for dress in a formal environment that we assume in our mind must already be there in the office. Now, strip this analogy from the office and place it somewhere else, where there are no previous rules. Say, the beach. A man is wearing a shirt and he ties the lower part such that his belly button is exposed. His father comes to him and tells him that men must cover their navel, so unfold your shirt. Now, instead of unfolding his shirt he takes it off and wraps it around his belly button. Did he fulfill what he was asked to do? Why would they remove their headcovers to cover their chests when they could keep their headcovers on and cover their chest too? In that society, it was probably considered beneath a free woman to not cover her hair. Also, what people, whoever they may be, do does not make anything mandatory. The only one who could have made something mandatory just by saying it was the Prophet of God and he didn’t say head-covering is necessary. By the way, if we start believing that believing what the companions believed is mandatory, we would run into a fix because they did not agree with one another on every matter, this being one of the matters they disagreed on amongst each other. In the end, I would like to clarify that I may be wrong. This is just the point of view that, I feel, has the strongest evidence and you can discuss this further, of course.

[@toobad9295]

didn’t they cover their hair because of the heat and weather as well? men covered their heads/hair too

[@salsabilalm6644]

I do agree with you, most sheikh don’t take in consideration the environment and the context of the ayat. In souret elahzab, at the end of the aya, Allah say, “so none can recognize them and hurt them”. The context of the aya is a man “harassed” a hora that means a Muslim woman and said as an excuse that he thought she was an ima, the imas were the women that « belong »to the Muslim men after a war between Muslims and kofar. But now there are no ima, so there is no goal the wear a jilbab, we do not need to make a difference. But there are discussions about in which way recognizing her, because the goal was to make the difference between hora and ima, it means Allah don’t care about the ima, but ima is also a human being so Allah for sure don’t mean that. So sheikh in general agreed it’s to make the difference between a girl who is chaste and the ones that are not. But what chaste means? It’s really a controversial question, hard to agree on, but I would say a chaste women in our days living Europe is a woman who doesn’t wear hot shorts, mostly naked tops. The goal is not making fetna.

[@Ali-mb8mk]

What you have said is honestly complete…… (I won’t say it) like.. if dictionaries are all false and have been corrupted to force certain agenda, how do you even know that Khimar means covering?? lol khimar could literally Mean anything, it could mean a bird or a door or to reveal or etc. again if you were to deny dictionaries then honestly ur just denying the entire language. And btw all dictionaries came almost atleast 100 years after the prophet’s PBUH death… like are we just supposed to throw them all now?? Honestly you people need to stop following ur desires cause ur coming with extremely delirious conclusions. Khimar is a head covering (could mean head + face covering as well) as stated by all dictionaries just face it. The verse didn’t order women to cover their bossoms only. It ordered them to draw the KHIIMAR and cover the bossoms with it. This ensure head, neck and chest coverage (it like saying cover your waist with your t-shirt, this indicates that the waist and chest shoulders and upper arms need to be covered as I didn’t order you to just cover ur waist. I ordered you to specifically cover your waist in a specific manner for obvious reasons) so if the Prophet pbuh ordered men to cover their waist with t shirts then we would’ve concluded that a man’s waist chest and shoulder and upper arm would be awra. However, the prophet pbuh didn’t order us to do so, hence why the shoulder chest and upper arm are not awra for a man. Period. Don’t commit apostasy by disbelieving in a well known command of Allah just like how Iblees did when he disbelieved in Allah command to prostrate. This life isn’t worth it. May Allah guide us to what he loves.

[@rigatoni4646]

I also have to say that when you are still figuring out if you should wear the hijab, it doesn't liberate you from thinking about people's perception, at least not for me. People make comments, and even when they are positive, they are a sour reminder that people are and have been judging me based on my appearance, and they make assumptions about my level of faith and closeness to Allah based on something literally and objectively surface-level. And I don't like that, and I don't want to end up doing it too. It also reveals that people have expectations for my personal choices, and I resent that to some extent the pressure does affect me. It feels like it taints the intention and purpose of the action. I want to be able to peacefully say that I am confident that it is a direct command of Allah, and not one of these religious topics that have been distorted by men in order to gain unearned power and control over women. The video gave some helpful points but nothing that seems to justify this obsession with covering women up, and shunning those who don't. Part of me feels icky about wearing the hijab, as if I would be condoning things that I don't condone, or submitting to societal pressure and passing it as submission to Allah. I would love to hear helpful insights and advice from sisters who might have had similar concerns, insha Allah...

[@JRtitanicful]

Yes! Hijab is one of those topics that so many Muslim societies obsess over to the point where it makes me question whether it’s truly from god or man-made. Like Muslims commonly drink nowadays and go clubbing and fornicate and even don’t pray! And many of these things are done publicly and are well-known issues! But for some crazy reason, these things aren’t talked about but the hijab is. Hijab is one of the topics many Muslims obsess over the most. It is this behavior that truly makes me question hijab (not modesty which for sure was mandated but the head cover and the specifics of hijab). With the way Muslims speak and behave surrounding this topic, it really seems like it was invented as a way to control women, and now I’m at a crossroads where I want to remove the hijab because the last thing I ever want is to be controlled/subjugated in the name of religion.

[@sarahal1703]

Is there a possibility to help make subtitles in other languages?

[@Atif-Dost]

Salam Sister Maryam, I have listened to your youtube lecture on Hijab. It is very informative and I have few questions that I would like you to clarify, if possible. 1- Is long hair considered beautiful and sexually provocative? 2- If that is the case, then what is the ruling for men for having long hair? Is it mandatory for men to cover their heads or not? Because even in the Arab culture, it is optional for men to cover their heads. 3- The best example of long hair is no other than our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. he displayed his hair openly thats why we know he had long hair and he is the best of example for men and women to follow. 4- You have studied Islam in an Arabic country, therefore, Arab bias reflects in your teachings, please clarify how you keep Arab culture separate from Islamic studies? Now to the content and context of Ayah 24:31: You quoted a very small portion from the middle of an Ayah. Just above that portion there is an exemption given and then again underneath that portion, the exemption is reinforced again with much more detail. From top it says that believing women should lower their gaze, just like the men. Then it says, to guard the private parts, again just like the men. Now the important and exclusive part pertaining to women is that “they do not display their beauty except what normally appears”. What do you consider “what normally appears mean? How do I know what normally appears mean? For that I consulted Ayah 5:6 “O believers! When you stand up for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, wipe your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles…” and the ayah continues. The point to note is these are the body parts “normally appears” for men and women both. And that is why Allah and His messenger s.a.w. asked us to wash the exposed parts, this includes the head supposed to be exposed for both men and women. Then comes the portion you quoted that “and they must strike with a cover on their bosoms/boobs”. It simply means to either wear a bra to push them down or a garment on top of the shirt that push them down. Do not use bras that exaggerate the shape of the breasts for strangers to see. Then God repeats again that “they do not display their beauty except to their husbands or fathers or husband’s fathers or their sons or their huband’s sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons or their women or whom she rightfully possess or those men who follow her without the desire or any children on whom women’s nudity hasn’t exposed yet”. These are persons before whom she can take off her bosoms’ outer covering (in case of bra she doesn’t need to take off). Just to clarify, she is still wearing complete clothes i.e. shirt and pants or whatever clothing it may be acceptable in your society. You also advised people to accept the information from qualified people only and I agree with that. However, if you possess the role of a qualified teacher then you must answer the questions people have. Because I am not “officially” qualified with Masters or PhD degree in Islamic studies. Although thats another topic that does Allah accepts these degrees as authentic or not. The last point I have is Allah ordered me this: Surah 4, Ayah 59: “O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and final resolution.” As you’re an authority, I am presenting my questions to you for a resolution. It is your duty to answer my questions. And if you decide to ignore and refuse to answer the questions then I have no other choice but to return to Allah and His messenger in His book - the Quran as stated in the Ayah. The reason for this is because I have quoted Quranic Ayaat in their entirety and I am sure Allah wants me to return to His Ayaat in case of any disputes in our times, in the absence of the messenger s.a.w.. Prophet s.a.w. Afterall recited these ayaat and left them to firmly hold on to for our guidance. I really hope to receive an answer from you. Thank you and may God bless us with guidance. Please see at the bottom the rest of the ayah 24:31 Salam Alaykum! “…Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.” (24:31)

😊Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head by Asma Bint Shameem Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It’s a way of life. Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don’t realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head. Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…..the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life. Allaah says: “And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you believers, in order that you are successful.” (Surat-un-Nur: 31). Here are some of the more common issues in light of this verse about the Hijaab. Well, my head is covered. What more do you want? If you look carefully at the ayah, it clearly states that the head covers (khumur) should be drawn over the neck slits (juyoob). Khumur is the plural of the Arabic word “khimar” which means a headcover. Juyoob is the plural of the Arabic word “jaiyb”, which refers to the neck slit (of the dress). Yet, some sisters just cover their head with something, and think they are fulfilling the rights of Hijaab, although part of their hair or body is showing, or their whole neck and chest area are exposed. Actually, that was the way of the women of Jahilliyah. Al-Qurtubi said: “Women in those days used to cover their heads with the khimar, throwing its ends upon their backs. This left the neck and the upper part of the chest bare, along with the ears. Then Allah commanded them to cover those parts with the khimar.” So secure the scarf well around your face, covering your neck/chest area, and keep those half sleeves and capri pants for your Mahrams Sorry.…tight jeans and short shirt just don’t cut it You can’t wear tight jeans and a short shirt with a piece of cloth on your head and think this is Hijaab. Nor can you wear anything else that is tight, describing the shape of the body in any way, even if it is long. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it.” (Muslim) If it is see-through, its NOT Hijaab You CANNOT use chiffon or other see through material to cover your hair and body. Everything should be covered and the color of the skin underneath should not be visible. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a thick garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife. The Prophet then said to Osamah “ask her to use a “gholalah” under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones.” (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) (The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body). The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention The dress should not be such that it attracts men’s attention to the woman’s beauty. Allaah clearly states “not to display their beauty (zeenah).” Yet, Subhaan Allaah, some Hijaabi sisters are dressed in such a way that they attract more attention to themselves than they would if they didn’t wear Hijaab!! How could such zeenah be concealed if the dress is designed in a way that it attracts men’s eyes to the woman? It beats the purpose of Hijaab. Allaah tells us: “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32] What about make-up and perfume??? Wearing make up is also part of the zeenah that Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright red lipstick or dark eyeliner such that people confuse between you and a raccoon….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab. And keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.” (al-Nasaa’i, Tirmidhi: hasan by Albaani) Tinkling Jewelry and Jingling bracelets ‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse…“not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments.” No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right, even if he is ‘the Shaikh’. Allaah says:”. . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.” [al-Ahzaab:32] So talk to them when there is a specific need, and in a manner that is not necessarily rude, yet it is polite but firm. Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. Why? Because a single ‘look’ can say more than a thousand words. So, even if you are properly covered, keep those eyes down, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’. ‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. There are too many stories of illegal relationships, fornications, broken homes, extra-marital affairs and runaway brides to even mention. That is why in Islam anything that leads to haraam is also haraam. Allaah says: “Do not (even) come close to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its way is evil.” (Surah Israa:32) Be careful, even in the way you walk Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and hayaa and you will be respected. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…..” (Muslim). Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. Its part of Hijaab It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” (at-Tabaraani saheeh by al-Albaani). And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding. Stay away from the men’s areas I see many sisters entering the Masjid from the men’s entrance, or standing idle in the hallways or where there is a chance of unnecessary mixing with the brothers. What for? Don’t we have a separate entrance for ourselves? Why do you think Allaah ordained the Hijaab in the first place? To avoid fitnah, by reducing temptation and separating the genders. “The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said to the women on his way out of the mosque when he saw men and women mixing together on their way home: ‘Give way (i.e., walk to the sides) as it is not appropriate for you to walk in the middle the road.’ Thereafter, women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would get caught on it.” (Abu Dawood) Hijaab is also to conceal your sister Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.” (Muslim) May Allah guide us and bless us with the TRUE understanding of His Deen. Ameen. 👍

jilbab is a gown that has been stretched to cover certain part of body and obviously gown /dress is put on shoulder. so jilbab is a strecthed cloth from shoulder to toe..and in this verse specifically said the purpose of jilbab is to be known.. how can you been known if cover all. the key of moderation usage of hijab/jilbab that is to be universally accepted (majority) is to wear modestly (specifically covering bosom and lowering the dress to knee) like our ancestor did in 1800-1900.

Sure you could loosen your shirt to cover the exposed part, but you could also decide to put on a waist high pant or skirt to cover the exposed part or you could even wear a camisole under the shirt to cover the exposed part because you understand that what your boss cares about is that your stomach is covered. And you can cover your stomach without undoing the knot. And from what i understand the khimar in classical arabic is a piece of cloth that covers something, just like alcohol is called khamr because it covers the mind. So it could translate to “use a piece of cloth to cover your bosom”. And if you say it meant head covering specifically, then i hope you know that different cultures have different types of head coverings. And some head coverings can not be used to cover the head as well as the bosom. I know cause i come from one such culture. So we use a different piece of cloth to cover our bosom. And i believe we can all agree on the fact that the quran was not revealed for only Arabians but for the Alameen.

NO ladies’HIJAB found in the Quran. The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but not for ladies. Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found) In Quran 33.59 - “ … JILBAB over themselves…” in Quran 24.31 - “… Khimar over the Jayb..” The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31 - Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING, it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc. There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran, transliteration of Q24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals : khumur, juyoob] Quran 24.31 (see the part of the verse they say has hijab ) // *..put forth the Khimars OVER THE JAYBs…*// KHIMAR = COVERING Jayb just means OPENING, - like an opening in a dress, deep-neck, like shirt pocket - is a jayb (or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is. Look at where the importance is in the verse: “COVERING over the Jayb” - but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB - by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - AND also these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings - please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from? We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran - in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran - see where the word is used again. QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings). They should know when the same root word is used for intoxicants even then it’s used for COVER - any intoxicant or alcohol COVERS the ability INSIDE the mind - Please NOTE : khumur /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head. - *they took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion* How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands? IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran AND they should not add words in translations. JILBAB: Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED” So the condition is to be recognised : how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully? - So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran. Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed. Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY. “… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna… “ -- //Quran 33.59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBAB over themselves . In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED and not be HARASSED. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful// -- Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also. - Some of them will not VERIFY what is in the Quran - word by word. And you may get to see how they will jump to start calling IGNORANT and names to the person showing them the research.

[@Plant.therapy33]

I have the same train of thought and I’ve watched so many videos by now they’re all repeating the same verses that are certainly not clear. Even back then the khimar didn’t cover every strand of hair, so where did this ideology come from to enforce every strand of hair being covered? My problem is that hair is not mentioned even once in any of these verses, why wouldn’t Allah swt be specific and tell us to use the khimar properly, cover every strand of hair, and then cover the bosoms, etc. why leave so much up for interpretation? Furthermore there is no punishment for showing hair or head, more evidence that the focus is on covering the body parts and not head or hair. Ultimately it’s unreasonable to think that Allah swt would simply IMPLY that we should cover our head and hair by using the word khimar rather than explicitly stating to cover hair, head and bosom! Quran is timeless and for everybody at all times so why would this word be used in a certain historical context and as an implication rather than direct order? And to use the word khimar which has so many meanings and can easily be interpreted in many ways it’s just not adding up for me

Sister there is nothing in the Quran that state’s women must cover their hair. Zip, nil, zero, nothing. It states cover your bosom with an item of clothing that was often but not only used as a head scarf. Some scholars indicate by defacto this must mean that the head is already covered. This however is not true. It is not an obligation. The item of clothing they refer to was pre Islamic. The two versus you mention say nothing about covering your hair. These versus you use are often used time and time again my Muslim KZbin influencers and each and everyone of them are just repeating what the other said. The word hijab itself does not even translate to head scarf. Then you must ask yourself how did this turn into the niqab burqa etc. There is nil logic to it. I will be happy to further educate you if you are ready. May Allah grant you ease.

[@gozdea5548]

With her T-shirt analogy, I guess in that office the men hanging around T-shirtless half naked :) She emphasized that both men and women were wearing khimar/hijab but women wear it inappropriately. So order came to cover the chest like the t-shirt analogy cover the belly. If so, why men are not wearing khimar/hijab today?? They "have to" wear hijab too if Quran "assumes" EVERYBODY is wearing the hijab. She mentioned in couple of videos that wearing hijab is hard but she is doing this for Allah. So they cannot endure the possibility of hijab being an option.

I wish you would talk about concubinage and slavery, because when I became Muslim, I felt that the Quranic rules about them was for that time and place until it could be phased out , as the Prophet attempted to do. But people are lobbying for concubinage and slavery to come back. This is shocking to me and begs the question "Is every rule in Qur'an for every time and place" and I say "No." But this issue is preventing me from fully commiting to Islam. Can you also talk about the ayah that says elderly women don't have to wear hijab, but then says, " but don't go near it." This doesn't make sense to me. I stopped wearing it about 10 years ago. I'm 77 and unattractive anyway. I'd also like to say that women being concerned about their beauty is necessary if she wants to keep her husband, even if they are both old, she needs to keep herself up. Even if he doesn't go for other women, he will become dissatisfied with her. Even though my husband is 90, some of his family (his kids) say to him that I'm old and ugly. He loves me, but it does affect him. They try to make him feel he made a mistake (I'm a revert) and is missing something. Just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace. Also, I do have a problem with male scholars whom you say were taught by a woman, because just because Aisha was "there" means she was a witness, not necessarily a scholar. I'm not convinced she was a scholar. When I think of a scholar I think of someone who can prove their case. I'm sorry if I am being so obstreperous. Very good video.

Alot of labour explotation... I don't know all the rulings on slavery and concubines. Far from it...one thing is for sure. Islamic practice of slavery is something totally different than western slavery...of there is a war the captives are sometimes killed, sometimes made slaves or randsommed or lrt go freely... Modern societies have prisons which is derrimental to mental health and very ineffective... if a person is made slave. They have to live with a family with no handcuffs or locked behind doors... they receive trust and have to make themselve usefull. They become part of a family. They get to see the mercy of islam at first hand...slaves are supposed to be fed and clothed rhe same as to yout own standard... and a slave can work to get his freedom. And its a good deed to free a slave.... Concerning the concubines. Yes i have some questions about this too... but If this is halal than I submit to the will of God. There is wisdom in this

Tawheed comes first and foremost. Hijab is an i.d. Many with weak Iman need your help. For me, niqab is the solution. After wearing a hijab for six years in Egypt, I chose niqab when I began to memorize Quran and was so impressed by my teachers. I researched all the fiqh and agree with shaykh Albani that it is not in general a fard. It is for BELIEVERS. Then I considered the personal feminine pronoun هن and how often it occurs in Quran, and couldn't accept that it was ok to discount it from the words عليهن. Proof of this is that you may try to remove the face and hands from any verse wherein the word هن occurs as the female self...you will certainly fail. The hadeeth from AlAzhar excepting the face and hands is weak in that the narrator was not alive at the time he was accepted as a narrator. When I am in America I do not wear niqab as I am actively involved in dawa both in the masjid and in all public places. Niqab is a barrier in general, as it prevents the person's identity. Yet although I am 75, I still wear it in Egypt as my i.d. So many tell me it is not necessary as I may take the dispensation for older women. I reply that I am aware of that verse, yet I prefer to keep my niqab forever in an environment where it is known, understood and respected. Also, niqab is so helpful for cutting vanities connected to make up and fashion. I was always too focused on looking beautiful, checking my appearance in every mirror. When I first put on the niqab, face covering, I felt such joy and peace I knew this was meant for me. Niqab is not for everyone, but it is definitely a level up in acheiving peace of mind and focus in religion. Jazaak Allah khayr sister for all your many ongoing efforts in helping the women of our ummah.

The Hijab and the Abaya is supposed to lower the men’s gaze. And protect women from sexual objectification.

[@Hanpokupan]

There is hijab and headscarf,specifically covering the head /hair in the quran: The interpretation that the verse in the Ahzab Surah is historical and that the reason for its revelation in general (the reason for the revelation of the verse) was to separate the free people from the slaves is also PROBLEMATIC in many respects. The words or events spoken about the reason for the revelation of the verses have never been interpreted as meaning that the verses exist only because of this event and that the validity of the verse will be abolished when these events are not valid. In fact, this casts a shadow over the universality of the Quran. In other words, the reason for revelation is a tool in interpreting the verse. It reinforces the meaning of the verse and makes the provision easier to understand. It is not possible to determine or limit the provision and meaning of the verse. That is, phenomena or events do not direct or influence, nor is revelation in a position to be influenced or subject to them." The reasons for revelation are not a determining or compelling reason, but consist of events in accordance with the plan of revelation and the descent of revelation being simultaneous with each other. The reason for revelation is not a historical condition. It cannot be said that the revelation of the Quran depends on its existence or that it is impossible without it. The Quran was revealed by divine will. External factors (such as the reasons for revelation) are not the real reason for its revelation. Moreover, some of the narrations about the reasons for revelation do not even mention any situation regarding concubines. However, there are problematic points in the narrations that claim it is due to concubines. Firstly, it creates the perception that Islam permits the harassment of concubines! From Surah An-Nur, verse 33, we know that the Quran forbids forcing chaste concubines into prostitution. All people, even concubines, are equal in terms of serving Allah beautifully in Islam. Furthermore, there is no narration during the Prophet's lifetime that distinguishes between free women and concubines regarding veiling. In fact, there are hadiths and narrations indicating that concubines wore headscarves both during and outside of prayer.

[@Hanpokupan]

Scholars from Andalusia such as Ibn Hazm and Abu Hayyan did not accept this distinction between free women and concubines regarding veiling. Abu Hayyan: 'The apparent meaning of the phrase 'believing women' in the verse includes both free women and concubines. The risk of temptation is greater for concubines because they are outside more often than free women. To exclude concubines from the scope of the phrase 'believing women' would require a very clear evidence. Since there is no such evidence, they must also veil. This is more suitable so that they are recognized and not harmed. The purpose of the verse is that they are recognized as chaste because of their veiling, and therefore no one can touch them Ibn Hazm:As for refuting the claim of distinguishing free women from female slaves, that is because the religion of Allah is the same (for all), and the nature of females (in attracting men) is the same in free women and female slaves… and thus, that interpretation is undoubtedly false… this is a blatant lie of a liar, for it means the Almighty Allah would allow the sinful people to molest female slaves and this (claim) is an everlasting catastrophe. Not even two Muslim scholars have ever disagreed that adultery is forbidden to both free and slave women and the punishment of an adulterer to either is the same. For this and other reasons, this interpretation should not be accepted after having the clear words of Allah’s Messenger (P). Therefore, the words of no one should be accepted unless it is (correctly) quoted from Allah’s Messenger.” (al-Muhallah, vol. 2 pp. 248-249).

[@Hanpokupan]

Is there head covering (hijab) in the Quran? If so, is it religious or cultural? Let's examine it together. Before verse 31 of Surah An-Nur, in verse [24:30], men are commanded to lower their gaze and guard their modesty, just as women are commanded 1) 'not to display their adornment except that which is apparent,' and 2) 'to draw their headcovers over their bosoms.' These two Quranic commands form the basis for the legal obligation (farz) of modest dress. In discussions about the rulings on women's dress, jurists generally regard the first command-the prohibition of displaying adornments-as the central directive, while the second command-to draw the headcover over the bosoms-serves more to provide detail. However, many people today skip the first command and treat the second as the primary directive, leading to a misinterpretation. In the first part of the command, Allah instructs the Prophet (PBUH) to tell the believing women to cover their adornments; this word is often loosely translated as adornment or beauty. To correctly understand the meaning of this command, we refer to the science of Quranic exegesis (tafsir). The early interpretations of the Prophet's (PBUH) Companions regarding the Quran are crucial for our understanding. These interpretations not only provide the reasons and chronology behind the revelation of a verse but also explain the meanings and implications of the original Arabic words used in a verse. It is also important to note that the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) had the deepest knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, as they witnessed the revelation and its application and learned directly from the Prophet (PBUH). For example, Ibn Abbas, a prominent figure in Quranic exegesis and the Prophet's (PBUH) cousin, explained that this command means covering everything except the hands and face. Additionally, it is narrated from Aisha (RA) that the expression 'except what is apparent' refers to the hands and face. Therefore, the phrase 'except what is apparent' is understood as an exception to the rule of complete covering, meaning that a woman can expose parts of her body necessary for her daily activities, such as her face and hands. In the second part, believing women are commanded to draw their khumur (headcovers) over their bosoms, further clarifying what should be covered. When we analyze this verse, we arrive at two fundamental conclusions. First, women are required to cover their entire bodies except for their faces and hands. Exceptions to this rule, according to the majority, are based on the hadiths of the Prophet and the practices of the Companions, which establish that the face and hands can remain uncovered. Second, following the command to cover, the verse provides further clarification on what covering entails. Specifically, it is stated that the practice of covering the hair should be continued and extended to also cover the chest

[@Hanpokupan]

Some argue that the command 'to draw their headcovers over their bosoms' does not specify that the hair must be covered. They claim that wearing a headcover is a cultural practice. Therefore, in a society or culture where women do not cover their hair, merely covering the chest would be sufficient to fulfill this verse’s obligation. Short answer: Even a woman who does not wear a headcover would understand from the phrase 'وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰى جُيُوبِهِنَّ' that she needs to wear a headcover and cover her neckline. This phrase commands them to cover their bosoms with their headcovers ('خُمُرِهِنَّ'), which means using the headcover to cover the neckline and chest. Thus, this phrase clearly establishes the necessity of wearing the headcover and using it to cover the chest. (Anyone who knows Arabic would confirm this, and even artificial intelligence would give the same answer.) Additional to the short answer: If wearing a headcover was not specifically required and it was only mentioned because headcovers were commonly used at that time, the phrase should have been 'اختمر جُيُوبِهِنّ.' The verb 'اختمر' (ikhtamara) means to cover the head with a headcover. However, by using the phrase 'اختمر جُيُوبِهِنَّ,' with the word 'جُيُوبِهِنَّ' (bosoms), the emphasis is placed on covering the bosoms. This expression means women should use their headcovers to cover and extend over their bosoms. Therefore, the verb 'ikhtamara' here does not directly imply only the act of covering the head but rather encompasses the broader use of the headcover to cover the bosoms as well. However The Quranic verse 'وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلٰى جُيُوبِهِنَّ' instructs women to use their headcovers to cover and extend over their bosoms. The word 'خُمُرِهِنَّ' (headcovers) commands women to cover their heads, while 'جُيُوبِهِنَّ' (bosoms) ensures that this covering also includes the chest. This way, women are commanded to cover both their heads and their chests." Those who characterize the hijab as a non-binding cultural practice, moreover, bear the burden of proving their claim. That is because divine commands are presumed to be legal and binding in nature. Otherwise, one could assert that being dutiful to one’s parents or honoring one’s guests are simply cultural practices. Few will contest, however, that treating our parents with respect is a religious obligation. Similarly, the texts relating to the hijab come from the same sources (i.e., the Qur’an and Sunnah) and use the same binding language. As such, they should be treated as equally binding legal commandments unless one can point to evidence that shows otherwise. In the absence of such evidence (and it is indeed absent), the presumption remains that these texts are legally binding. (Some of the texts here from Yaqeen institue website)

This originally relates to women relieving themselves as a companion of the Prophet observed one of the prophets wives relieving herself. Lowering your gaze also originally relates to the same thing.

[@Hanpokupan]

@@Yahman1969 It’s invalid point. I already answered it in my first comment:”The words or events spoken about the reason for the revelation of the verses have never been interpreted as meaning that the verses exist only because of this event and that the validity of the verse will be abolished when these events are not valid(present). In fact, this casts a shadow over the universality of the Quran.” And also this is for the Surah Ahzab verse 59. But there is also another verse which is Noor 31.That commends wearing khimar and proper hijab.

Top, may Allah bless you

"Bi" does not mean "part of". You are distorting the Quran. It means "with" "cover your bossome WITH your khimars". To specify that cleavage is not part of this exception: "except what normally appears". And "what normally appears" defined in 5:6 and head is clearly mentioned, this verse is also basis of islamic wudu, in other words; cleaning the parts exposed to outside before salat. In this sense your T-shirt analogy is not valid, Quran does not say anything about part of smt. it says cover your clevage with khimar -a rectangular piece of cloth - unlike hat or T-shirt- which can literally be used for anything.

If you wear a shall on your shoulder, and if somebody asks to cover your chest with it, does that mean to keep the shall on the shoulder? To make anything mandatory, there should be explicit words from Allah or prophet

[@Lolee56]

Except with things like Kira-at and various slight variations of writing in the Quran makes me doubt the whole entire thing. You claim that letter L is so significant and analyzing each letter and word but those have been changed

If she is bothered or assaulted in hijab then the sin is not on her, so she is still protected.

What about covering the face?

[@KimAly]

When it comes to jilbab, my biggest question is not about head and chest… it even makes sense to me to cover to below the knee, but arms, lower legs and neck isn’t clear. The clothing at the time didn’t cover that much.

Spreading culture and calling it religion? Sect /Firqa preachers took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion. The Other religious groups were already wearing it in the desert. The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but NOT for Ladies in Quran 24.31. The word is KHIMAR. Khimar just means COVERING (They’ve added head, hair, face to the word “covering”) Quran 24.31 (part) //… put forth the KHIMARs over the JAYBs …// Meaning: Put forth the COVER over the Jayb. Please notice it just gives importance to: “Cover the Jayb” Jayb means OPENING (Like an opening in a shirt for creating a pocket - some translate it as Bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is) They will then point out Quran 33.59 So READ that verse also and notice closely what it says: “…JILBAB over themselves…” JILBAB - means outer clothing (wearing of decent clothes over the underwears as OUTER CLOTHING) (Please NOTICE:- No head, hair, face cover even in this verse) Please READ THE QURAN and VERIFY -- Reference below-- transliteration of Q24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals : khumur, juyoob] //Quran 33.59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBAB over themselves . In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED and not be HARASSED. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful// -- Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also.
