No they have all the freedom except few countries they are not allowed to drive the car too. but most of the countries they can be casual like male with perfect dress as like male

In Islam they guide people how to be as perfect. It is not necessary to be a muslim, you can take which is good and safe to us and be as human.

Sorry ladies its not to hurt any person here or their religious belief. When I see some of the girls who cover their head for namesake and expose their rest of their body though covered with dress (example very tight outfit, wear sticky jeans and a short top etc etc) I really feel bad about the way their spoil their own religion's dignity. One of my neighborhood lady used to follow the fast days. But I used to wonder why she never covered her head at all even when going out. Out of my curiosity I asked her and she replied...I'm became a westerner after getting married and I don't feel comfortable"..I was shocked.

Dear ILites,

Let us share our views about "Women in Islam" in this thread.
I can share some points which I remember, from Dr.Zakir Naik's speech.

NON-MUSLIMS are also welcome to post their opinions.

You can share anything you feel, understood, saw, experienced, heard and read.

:thumbsup

Dear Sister,

Whatever you have pin pointed is exactly correct. I too feel the same, as you. Allah only can guide them in correct path. I wish this thread will address these kind of serious concerns.

Let me repeat this:

1. It should be loose fit(should not reveal your figure)
2. It should not be very attractive, because the purpose of wearing a burkha is to hide our beauty.
3. You must cover your head and hair properly, which is mandatory.
4. If you have not covered your face, please avoid over makeup :-D

Walaikkum Assalaam WRB Sister,
Alhamdhulillah that u like to wear burkha. it is not compulsory to cover ur face. but it is accessory.
which means, you will get additional benefit for covering your face. Few Ulemmas are of the opinion that the covering of face is necessary, moreover there are certain clause regarding burkha for example:
1. It should be loose fit(should not reveal your figure)
2. It should not be very attractive, because the purpose of wearing a burkha is to hide our beauty.
3. You must cover your head and hair properly, which is mandatory.
4. If you have not covered your face, please avoid over makeup :-D

The Qur'an instructs both Muslim men and women to dress in a modest way:

"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest" (surah 24:30)

The clearest verse on the requirement of the hijab is surah 24:30–31, asking women to draw their khimār over their bosoms.

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their khimār over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husband, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. (Quran 24:31)

In the following verse, the wives of the Prophet women are asked to draw their jilbab over them (when they go out), as a measure to distinguish themselves from others, so that they are not harassed. Surah 33:59 reads: Those who harass believing men and believing women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a grievous sin. O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, your daughters, and the wives of true believers that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): That is most convenient, that they may be distinguished and not be harassed. (Quran 33:58–59)

These are very few important points according to me, yet I hope it would have satisfied your quest.

Assalamu Alaikkum Indus Ladies Sisters,

I think we have nothing more to discuss about Burkha, let us move to the next topic in 'Women in Islam'..

What do you think about 'Birth Control'? Is it Halal or Haram? Please share your views and Insha Allah, let us learn about it.
