Violations of Hijab

Many women today say that the wearing of veil is difficult and unimportant. 

In the Holy Prophet’s (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) era the modesty and observance of hijaab amongst the Sahaabiyaat was at it’s peak despite the lesser need for it than today. Communities and nations progressed and were sucessful due to such social conduct. 

The evils of shamelessness, of low morals and over liberated people are the main cause of destruction of any member or nation; as humans we all bear testimony to this, be it that our testimonies are voiced or unvoiced. Only in this belated age of modernity do people have a divergent view on modesty. Today, hijaab may pose difficulties for Muslim women due to the environment surrounding them. If we actively create an environment of hijaab i.e. if our mothers, sisters, and friends who we daily visit become observers of hijaab then the situation would become one of the norm, eliminating feelings of awkwardness and difficulty. 

In the sixties when our elders first came to Britain it was impossible to keep a beard or wear a topi, rouges would mock such persons. But today Alhamdulillah we see many muslim youngsters in the middle of the town dressed in jubbas and turbans without the slightest hesitation or fear.

The Thawaab and divine pleasure for reviving hijaab can be deduced from the following hadith. 

The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "He who adheres to my Sunnah at a time when my Ummah has become corrupt will obtain the Thawaab of a hundred martyrs."
