History of the Niqab IV: From Egalitarian to Imperial Islam

The most important transformation in the history of the Arabs and Islamic civilisation as a whole, is the transformation of Arabs from an oppressed people into conquerers and imperialists. This resulted in the transformation from early egalitarian Islam to late imperial Islam. The Abbasids copied the entire culture of the Sassanids empire, including its slavery, harems, segregation, eunuchs, and niqab of aristocratic women.

Thank you Taimur for a detailed historical background.

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. quran.com/24/31

[@Taimur_Laal]

draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments If you notice, Quran is not talking about covering the face but covering private parts.

[@Saqlainiqbal56]

What a beautiful analysis based on dialect based anthropology of Islam. As you concluded Iqbal rightly & perfectly said about that. باقی نہ رہی تیری وہ آئینہ ضمیری ۔ اے کشتہ سلطانی و ملائی و پیری ۔ Means one Muslims becomes rulers they prefered to be a Sultan & made their people slaves, once they become reformist they preferred to become peers and made followers instead of reformation and once Muslims becomes scholars they preferred to becomes orthodox mullahas instead of scholar's.

The Prophet has told us to do niqab. The Quran uses the word khizab to cover the face. Islam doesn't ask to cover hands but covering face is recommended and hair is compulsory. We can see the women from the house of the prophet.

Pls sir also throw light that acording to what you said, only elite class women had the tradition to wear hijab, and gulam women was not allowed to do hijab to differentiate between good and bad women....then after post islamic era, hijab or parda was made compulsory for women....that means that it was made compulsory for gulam women or bad women as well, not only the elite class....so that all women be looked as equal , whether she belongs to elite class or gulam class....is that right interpretation....

How can you say that women who observe the practice of niqab are sideline from the main stream. Niqab is not a barrier in any progress a women desire to make. Its society backward customs and mindset that stops them.

[@Taimur_Laal]

Niqab was the dress that accorded with segregation of the sexes. The culture of the time was that free Muslim women (not slaves) were secluded from public life. This had the impact of restricting their domain to the home. And this meant that they were unable to pursue professions such as becoming doctors, teachers, lawyers, judges, scientists and so on. Today, Muslim societies have accepted that women can enter these professions, as long as they continue to wear some form of hijab.

[@najeehairfan]

Jazakallah for answering. I have finally listened to your whole niqb series and I also being in the same profession as you are. I loved the way you tell the history , with all emotions and expressions visible in your style of speech.

Hijab or covering the body is mostly related to the class and social status of women. Londees/ Tawaifs never used to keep Hijab. South Asian women never used to wear clothes same for the African ( Kaafir ) women. Hijab is a Mesopotamian / Greek culture because they consider tall women with beautiful hairs/ eyes because they think having children with a tall / beautiful lady will provide them with good quality children.

A very interesting series. Thoroughly enjoyed and learned. Thank you for your effort. Interesting and tragic that Islam allowed the Muslims to have relations with slave girls in order to protect them (strictly prohibited turning a free person into a slave unless captured in war). They had rights (unlike traditional slave girls) and the practice ensured that there wont be an unchecked exploitation and sexual transgression in society. And the later caliphs used the very religion to create an atmosphere of widespread exploitation of women owing to unchecked lustful transgressions of the ruling class of men.!! Current interoperation of PARDA is totally influenced by the socio-political and cultural norms of those eras. Not Allah's book. Sigh! Lectures like yours will hopefully enlighten women to wake up and sincerely try to decipher what Allah has commanded, and stop taking the word of Ullama; who never stopped to question whether what they are preaching is the true Islamic jurisprudence or a hodge podge of twisted rulings suited to please the rulers of the past. BTW, women are still enslaved today in the Muslim world.....be it that its mostly mental slavery. But slavery it is!
