HIJAB (Islamic dress for women is oppresive?
Watch this its very informative and the back sound is very beautiful……
thanks you for taking time to watch this.
I am sorry as my first answer added we don’t have to cover the faces, women just do that on there own…..
noitall: Most non Muslim women dress modestly, there are only a few who don’t…. the point of this is to show that Hijab is no there to oppress women, but it’s women’s will to wear it if they desire…….
chisaine…: If truth be told then no one can make the Afghani women wear Hijab if they did not want to…..
“Hijab” should not seem strange at all to Christians. The New Testament teaches that Christian “women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel not with…costly attire.” (I Timothy 2:9) It also instructs them to cover their hair. “Any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head. It is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair, but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, then let her wear a veil.” (I Corinthians 11:5-6) There was a tradition of veiling among Jewish women, as well.
When people talk of liberating Muslim women from the hijab, what they fail to realise is that practicing Muslim women usually are chosing themselves to wear it to obey Allah and reclaim control over their own bodies. The Holy Quran instructs, “Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies…” (33:59) The hijab frees women from the confines of non-Islamic society where her “worth” is primarily determined by her physical appearance. (Why else is it that women in the USA spend billions of dollars each year on hair and beauty aids?) You could say that wearing the hijab is our own women version of feminism, our women way of affirming that they are far more than a pretty face or shapely figure. It is our women protection from the influences which abuse and degrade women. How they look is not the business of every man on the street, but is rather between our women and their husbands.
