The Essence of Wearing Hijab

The Essence of Wearing Hijab

Seconds into the second, minute to minute, hour to hour, day after day, month to month to year long, do not feel our age how many now? Said Imam Al Gozali: "What is the closest to us" who are closest to us is death. Where are you going later on, it is definitely heading into the grave and finally heaven or hell eternal place for us.

Here I am reminded that my family and my friends in particular and for the general reader (the weather) to know what "essence USE THE VEIL", following the author to convey a true story that happened in Madiun (Indonesia) .(The article I quoted from H. Mohammed Sukarman . Tlp. 021-4604785. (home), 021-718 9104 (office) Email: sukarman@petrosea.com) which tells of a brother in which his sister died in their teens. For those of you who are not wearing the hijab, read the article below to completed.

"Essence USE VEIL"

This story I got from my friend who works at one of the foreign companies, in East Kalimantan: Here I quoted true story of a teenage girl who stepped on or cool today (ABG) that were previously not known his behavior, but once aware of his mistake, and already understand " WISDOM OF USE VEIL "God called him.
This true story from my friend at work.
The true story is hopefully useful for those who read it, especially the Eve, also for those who have a wife, who had a daughter, sister, sister, older sister, who still have a mother, who had a niece ........

My friends tell:
This is a story about my brother Nur Annisa, the new girl growing up but pretty hard-hearted and tomboyish. At the time my sister age 17, the development of behavior enought worrying my mother, many friends and her boyfriend who came home my mother was uncomfortable as a teacher of the Newspaper.

To anticipate that my mother told my sister wearing hijab, but always refused to quarrel arose among them a small argument. Never one time my brother said in a loud voice rada: "Mom let's see, my next door neighbor children wear the hijab but his behavior is no different with us, instead Ani's friends who wear hijab in schools was brought naughty boys, often take a walk, still more Ani good, although this Ani had never done anything like that ", when it is like that my mother just stroked his chest, sometimes at the end of the night I saw my mother cry, softly heard his prayer:" O Allah, introduced Annie to the law you, O God. "

On one day near my house, there are new neighbors who recently moved. One family which has six small children who are still small. Her husband named Abu Khoiri, (Effendy Khoiri) (who knows his real name) I know her time at the mosque.

After a while they moved arise rumors about the wife of Abu Khoiri who never leave the house, until nicknamed the blind, deaf and dumb. It is also sounded by the little sister, and she asked to me: "Sis, it's a new move that his wife was blind, deaf and dumb?" .. Hi, I casually replied "if you want to know please come directly to his house."

Look, that girl really did come home a new neighbor. Upon returning from my neighbor's house, I saw a drastic change in her face, her usual sunny never gloomy or lethargic become pale .... God knows what happened.?

But I thought no lapse of two days later he asked my mother to be made .. a long veil, again .. a long skirt, long sleeves ... I own so confused .... I'm more confused mix of gratitude to Allah SWT because I saw a miraculous change yah .. I say miraculously because he changed completely .. not many guys who come home or friends to just talk to a lady friend who is not known ... I saw him a lot of reflection, many read read Islamic magazine that normally she likes to buy a magazine or a young rich girl Femina magazine instead of a Islamic magazine, and I saw his worship was beyond me ... do not miss tahajudnya, read the Quran, prayer ... and that his circumcision was more amazing .... when my friends came to him lower his gaze ... Praise be to you, O God SWT cried my heart ..

Not how long I can call work in Borneo, working in a foreign company (PMA). Two months I worked there I can ill news that my brother until my mother called me to come home (my house in Madison). On the plane I kept constantly pray to Allah SWT for My brother was given the healing, but I just tried, when I got home, front door has a lot of people, can not help it I ran inside the house, I saw my mom crying, I immediately went and hug my mom, while my mother says the same stagnant choked me: "Dhi, your sister could say two sentences Shahadah at the end of his life" .. Can not help it this tear ...

After completion of burial and other events, for fun I entered the room and I saw my brother on his desk .. Diary diary which he always wrote, Diary where he spent his time before going to bed when I saw my brother was still alive when the deceased, then I opened the piece by piece ... until fixed on a single page that reveals the mysteries and questions that always arise in my heart .. changes that occur when a new brother home from Abu Khoiri ... there I saw the question and answer between my sister and wife of my neighbor, it looks like this:


Frequently asked questions (I saw that many former dilembaran tear drops)

Annie: I was humming (the woman's face was bright and shining like an angel), mother, mother's face is very young and beautiful.

Neighbor's wife: Thank God, the real beauty comes from the heart.

Annie: But my mother already had six children, but still look beautiful.

Neighbor's wife: Subhanallah, real beauty belongs to Allah and if Allah willed, who can resist.

Annie: Mom, I've always been told to wear hijab by my mother, but I always refused because I thought no problem I do not wear the hijab as long as I do not kind of variety and I saw many women wearing the hijab but exceed our behavior that is not wearing the hijab, so I do not never want to wear the hijab, according to the mother what?

Neighbor's wife: Annie O, Allah SWT makes all this a woman's body jewelry from head to toe, everything from our bodies that are seen by non mahrom we shall all be accountable before God Almighty Everlasting later, the veil is the veil for women.

Annie: But I saw many women who wear hijab are not good behavior, not frivolous.

My neighbor's wife: Hijab is just fabric, but the essence or meaning of the veil itself that we must understand.

Annie: What is the essence of hijab?

My neighbor's wife: The nature of the hijab headscarf is physically and spiritually. Hijab your eyes from looking at the man who is not Mahrom you. Hijab your tongue from ghibah (gossip) and useless vanities, try always dhikr to Allah SWT. Hijab your ears from hearing cases that invite harm both to yourself and society. Hijab kiss kiss your nose from all the bad smell. Hijab hands you from doing that is not obscene. Hijab foot stepping toward you from the immoral.

Hijab mind of thinking that invites you to trick the devil you desire. Hijab liver you from something other than Allah, if ye can so that you wear headscarves will illuminate your heart, that's the nature of the hijab.

Annie: Mom I am so clear now from the meaning of the hijab, hopefully I can wear the hijab, but how can I carry it all.

Neighbor's wife: Anisa when you wear the hijab that the gifts and blessings that come from Allah the Almighty Giver of Grace, the Most Merciful, if you appreciate the grace that you will be given the power to execute deeds veil until it reaches the desired perfection of Allah SWT.

Anisa, remember one day when all mankind will be resurrected from the grave. When the horn is blown a second time, when the spirit of the human spirit as Anai Anai scattered and gathered in a field that has no boundaries, the land of hot metal, there is no grass and plants.

When the seven brought near the sun over our heads but a state of darkness. When the Prophet fears. When the mother does not care about her child, the child does not heed his mother, his relatives did not know each other again, sometimes with one another can be the enemy, one good is more valuable than everything that exists is the wild.

When people lined with rows of long and each is only concerned with the fate of himself, and at that moment there is sweating out of fear that extraordinary to drown himself, and visual form of the human form vary depending on the deeds, have a look when his life but the blind when raised, some shaped like animals, some were shaped like a devil, all of them crying, crying because that day the wrath of Allah SWT, Allah SWT has never been angry before and after that day, until thousands of years humans hushed meadow mahsyar Allah that red-hot until Scales Mizan was held that day Yaumul Hisab.

Annie, if we do not try to do charity on the day, either by what we say when we are later in the trial by the Almighty, the Most Great, the Most Powerful, the Most Great, Allah SWT. In Yaumul Hisab later! On the Day of Judgement later!

Until I read diarynya here because I've seen, stopped and many tear drops that fall from her eyes welling up, Subhanallah, I turned and saw the next sheet of paper, then I saw the fine print at the bottom: blind, deaf and mute, a woman who never saw a man other than married individuals, women who never want to hear the case which may invite the wrath of Allah SWT, the woman who never spoke backbiting, ghosib and everything in vain invite sin and can not stand these tears fell wetting diary.

That's what I can read from the diary, may Allah SWT accept My brother at his side, Amin, Subhanallah.

Gentlemen, Ladies, My brother, my sisters and my children are glorified by Allah SWT. Especially women.

I hope this true story could be iktibar, a lesson for us, for the daughters of us all. May the hearts sink in which to read it and may Allah Almighty always give instructions, give grace, guidance for those who read and live it.

May Allah SWT continue to give our faith the strength to run (meet) all His commands and stay away from all what is forbidden him, and got a high degree of piety, good-till in the next world, get help and Syafa'at on day yaumul reckoning and get high heaven, amen. Wallaahu a'lam shawab bish, billaahi taufik wal guidance. Wassalaamu'alaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakatuh.

If you want to do good works, please copy and give it to others to read, in order to increase their faith and taqwa, God willing.

Let's Wear Hijab

Let's Wear Hijab

On this today, Alhamdulillah we have seen many of the veiled Muslim women. May this be evidence of consciousness of the Muslim Allah Ta'ala will command as mentioned in his word in the letter of An Nur: 31:
"Say to the believing women, let them hold their views, maintaining their genitals and do not reveal their adornment except what appears normal. Let them wrap their Khimar to their chests, and do not reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers ... ... "

Word of Allah Ta'ala in surat Al-Ahzab verse 59:

"O Prophet, say to the wife-wives, and wives of the believers, let them reach veils all over their bodies. That is for them much easier for people known and not molested. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. "
It has been quite bright for us for an obligation for a Muslim to cover all the jewelry. It should not be one bit of jewelry was revealed in front of people ajnabi, which is not mahramnya, except the usual visible without them deliberately.

In a letter An Nur Allah Ta'ala explains about things (ie jewelry) that must be hidden and may be revealed by the women in front of strange men, in another verse Allah ordered the women to leave the house when they closed the clothing and khimarnya with the hijab, because with it they will be more and more terhomat terutup. (Al Ahzab: 59)

When the above verse down, the women anshar even when out of the house as if it's above their heads there are crows because clothing (black veil) that they wear. (Hadith narrated by Abu Dawud II: 182)
Then what kind of dress should be a Muslim? Enough with only a scarf? Then as if the veil is appropriate guidance shari'ah?

Hijab is a cloth worn women to cover herself on the clothes she was wearing. This definition is the most correct opinion (explanation headscarf by Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, Fathu Al-Bari Book I: 336). In another hadith mentioned,

"The Messenger sholAllohu 'alaihi yours respectfully ordered us out to pray' Idul fitr and 'Idul adha, whether they are girls who are adults, the women who are menstruating and women who are secluded. As for the women who are menstruating they did not join the prayer, but they witnessed the kindness and proselytizing Muslims. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, one of us there are who do not have a hijab. 'He said,' Let her sister lent her headscarf '. "

From this hadith can be seen that the hijab is required to be used when a woman came out of the house. So a woman should not leave the house if you do not wear hijab. And whose name is clothing that covers the veil from head to foot. A Muslim is not permitted visits by men who are not mahrom, except when she wore Khimar, in addition to the veil, until terutup meeting of head and neck. Khimar, which referred to here is headgear, Shaykh Albani has examined the opinions of scholars on the definition of the Salaf and Khalaf Khimar, he recorded more than twenty-name scholars, that they are the priests and Hafiz. Among them is Abul Walid al-Baji (d. 474 AH) which provides additional information about this Khimar, may Allah replied to him with kindness, with his words: "Nothing is visible from it, except the circle of his face."

But exactly at this time, the usage as well as between Khimar and the hijab is often neglected by most women when they leave the house. The fact that there is they just wear the hijab, or just use Khimar only; even, sometimes does not meet both criteria. Moreover, we still find, the women wear the veil but still open parts of the body that is forbidden by Allah to them putting out, like hair, the front of the head and neck. They wear the hijab they call hijab jilbab gaul or beautiful, which is attached to headgear that many holiday decorations to attract attention, with most fashionable designs are now saying.

And Allah Ta'ala has explained the wisdom behind the veil of this extended command with the word:
"It is easier for them to be recognized and not molested." (Surat al-Ahzab: 59)

Namely, that when a woman wearing a headscarf, it is understandable that she is a woman who is clean, keep yourself and behave well. So wicked do not dare tease him with the words that are less polite. Unlike the case when he got out by opening his private parts. Of course in such circumstances he would be the target and the target of the wicked, as we see everywhere. So it is hard to distinguish between a Muslim woman with infidel women.

Thus, it is mandatory for all women, whether it be independent, as well as the slave to wrap hijab over her when they go out. So, O my sister, wear the hijab as a form of keta'atanmu to Allah and His Messenger. Truly, Allah Ta'ala will command memuliakanmu, prevent yourself from damage, keep you from sin, to protect you from sliding to the humiliation. Allohu'alam.

Excerpted from the book of translations, mar'ah Jilbab Muslimah (Muslim Women's Hijab), Author: Muhammad Nashiruddin Al Albani, Publisher; Al Maktabah Al Islamiyah.
Additional Muslimah.or.id-of-
Definition of Hijab
In language, the dictionary al Mu'jam al Wasith 1 / 128, stated that the veil has several meanings, namely:
Qomish (a kind of cloak).
Cloth that covers the entire body.
Khimar (veil).
Apparel boss like milhafah (blanket).
Such blanket (read: scarf) who used a woman to cover her body.
As for the term, the following words of the scholars' about this.

Rahimahulloh Ibn Hazm said, "Hijab according to Arabic language mentioned by the Prophet shallAllohu 'alaihi wa sallam is the clothing that covers the entire body, not just some." While Ibn Kathir said, "The hijab is a kind of shawl worn over the current Khimar same functions such as Izar (fabric cover). "(Shaykh Al Bani in the Muslim headscarf).

Sheikh bin Baz (from Fataawa Mausu'ah Program Lajnah wal Imamain) said, "Hijab is a cloth placed over his head and body on the fabric (depth). Thus, the veil is a fabric that women used to cover the head, face and entire body. While the cloth to cover the head is called Khimar. So the women covered with veils, head, face and all entities on the fabric (depth). "(Bin Baz, 289). He also said, "The hijab is a rida '(shawl) is worn over Khimar (headscarf) as an abaya (women's clothing from Saudi Arabia)." (Bin Baz, 214). In another place he says, "hijab is a cloth which is placed a woman on the head and body to cover the face and body, as additional clothing for ordinary clothes (worn at home)." (Bin Baz, 746). He also said, "The hijab is all the fabric used to cover the body of a woman. This cloth is used after using dar'un (a kind of cloak) and Khimar (head scarf) with the aim to cover both places jewelry original (read: private parts) or synthetic (eg, necklaces, earrings, etc.). "(Bin Baz , 313).

In a previous article, there is the question what the difference between the hijab headscarf. Shaykh Al Bani rahimahulloh said, "Every veil is the veil, but not all the hijab headscarf, as they seem." So that is sometimes intended to be the meaning of the word hijab headscarf. The other meaning of the hijab is something that covers or obstructs himself, either in the form walls, sketches or other. This is what is referred to in the word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in Surat al-Ahzab verse 53,

"O ye who believe, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you have been given permission ... and if you ask for something for kepda they (the wives of the Prophet), then ask from behind the veil ..."
Insha Allah, let us invite family, relatives, friends, and all Muslim women to wear hijab.

Wearing Hijab in America

Wearing Hijab in America

A month ago, my wife just got a work permit, working permit. After that, he immediately sent a resume to a few busy places, such as Starbuck's coffee shop, shop franchise that has a global network.

When the interview a few days ago, my wife asked the shop manager was: is there a problem if she wore the hijab? Party managers said: no problem. We were happy to receive workers from various cultural backgrounds, he said.

Our neighbor's apartment, a black preacher, has just completed a Master of Divinity (M. Div) and will come out soon left the apartment. Resident Representative or the head of the apartment where I live bernisiatif held a farewell party. The event took place last night: we, apartment residents, gathered on a wide lawn in front of my apartment, to do barbecue-grilled or roasted meat.

When chatting, uttered an interesting comment about the wife of a female neighbor's apartment. He was a white man who came from the east coast, California.

The woman said that she was happy with my wife the slice, because the open, always get along, and never felt "isolated".

For three years he lived in America in the state of Massachusetts, our family, especially my wife, she had never experienced something unpleasant, say a kind of "harassment". My wife has a number of close friends, including a woman "Caucasian" which comes from the tradition of Quaker background (Christian sect known for its tolerant attitude), a Jewish woman who came from Israel, a Catholic woman who came from Venezuela and married to a man Lebanese origin, and a woman from Japan (which is now "going home" to his country).

They love to hang out with the wife. They realize that a moslem should not eat pork. On each occasion meals where my wife was invited, they always want to make sure that the food served did not contain pork.

One day, I received a call from my friend's wife that "Caucasian" is, ask about the number of holidays in Islam. When it happened to be ahead of Idul Adha. He asked, what is the meaning of the holiday. I explained modest. He then asked, what should say to a moslem while celebrating the feast of Eid al-Adha. He wanted to send a greeting card congratulating my family with respect to day-to-day Islamic feast.

My own confusion she answered questions. Because, so far there was no special words that other people should say to the moslems during Eid al-Adha. I said to him, "Just say, Happy Holiday of Sacrifice". A few days later, we received a greeting card from Caucasian women, the "Happy Holiday of Sacrifice". I was really touched.

To my knowledge, no serious problem with the practice of hijab in America. Sure there are some incidents in some places, especially after the events of 9 / 11. But in general, in my assessment, there is no persecution or "discrimination" of women who are veiled in America. At least that's what my wife experienced by far.

Some time ago, my wife was watching a baseball game at the stadium owned by the Red Sox, the pride of Boston's baseball team, in the Fenway area. He's probably the only woman veiled in a sea of spectators at the time. That's the first chance my wife was watching a baseball game. During the match, even my wife was busy "jeprat-snap". My wife's actions attract the attention of an audience, "It was the first time they watch it?"

Wife, with smiling sheepishly, said, "Yes."

Many Indonesian friend who has a wife covered in this Boston area. As far as I know, no bad experiences they have experienced living in the city of Boston. My impression of American society in the state of Massachusetts is quite tolerant (tolerant even once) to the diversity of religious expression.

At Harvard University where I learned today there is even a new policy that was "amazing" for me, namely the provision of special hours for moslem women who want to wear jimnastik building. Typically, the student who is moslem, especially the slice, less felt "comfortable" for the sports with men. In order to appreciate the "faith of moslems", the campus adopted a policy to provide a special time for moslem women who want to do "exercise." Are Islamic university may do something like this?

moslems in America have almost full freedom to carry out their religious teachings. moslems of all sects and streams can be developed and practiced freely in the country "secular" are often condemned by some moslems that.

During this time, some Islamic circles have a mistaken view that the secular system is hostile to religion. This view clearly erroneous, especially in the American context. Trying to uphold the principles of the secular system in which the state does not interfere with religious beliefs and practices of its inhabitants. All people are given freedom to carry out original conviction did not interfere with other people.

Under this system of moslems in America have full freedom to preach and practice their faith freely.

Now I have been wearing hijab

Now I have been wearing hijab

I was born with the name of Ranita Linkan Kartini, grew up in Surabaya (Indonesia) and then to work in Jakarta (Indonesia). In 1994, I married a Muslim after my first pre-Islamic heritage. When converting to Islam, my family strongly opposed. I strongly disagree mother I embraced Islam. Because my mother a devout Protestant Christian and our family home is a haven priests who are in the learning task. Moreover, later my mother who has four children, two boys and two girls, his daughters embraced Islam.

Although I've become a Muslim, I still love going to church to worship. After two years running, I feel giddy. I do not know where to go the direction of my life. Go to church or mosque, Christianity or Islam. When I deal with family problems or other serious problems, I want to complain to who? Ask for advice to the family, obviously impossible because they would blame me who chose to convert to Islam. Finally I surrender everything to God.

I beg pardon of God. Alhamdulillah, Allah gives guidance. I am aware Islamic run of conscience. I've left the old religion and creed has vowed two sentences but have not run it. Therefore, I began studying Islam. I began to pray, learn to read the Qur'an, fasting, and ask the experts. I also think, kids want my students to where? Is their religion at random? I do not want them halfway. If Islam is true Islam yes. So I think it's better in the same religion.

From good intentions, I believe God heard and give way. My husband and I repented, and began to worship. Even the former husband of less faithful in worship, now diligently and learn more in depth than mine. I used to have many dreams and desires that are worldly. But now, I feel like a helpless little human beings before God. So actually we can live our lives without a burden. Without the grandiose desire. Even if we are given a trial by God, there must be a purpose behind it.

In an opportunity to study religion, I met a Ustadz. Maybe God gave instructions to send it to me. He opened the letter al-Nisa, one of the verse says Muslim women should cover aurat. That was the beginning my heart was moved to wear the hijab. After Umrah, I try to wear the hijab as everyday wear.

I got an understanding of the veil of time worshiping Umrah in 1996. At that time I asked the sister in law while in the Masjid Nabawi. Why we women must be veiled? If not covered, but worship is good, what's still going to hell? Then my sister-in-law replied with the parable gives it a uniform hijab. When brought to account, with the same level of worship, we women are veiled will get a better place than that is not covered. Now it's up we want to choose which one. If we want to face the people we respect, we must also be neat. To men only we could be so, let alone want to face God.

I can accept that logic. Hijab is our solemn sense of God. God has set this in the Qur'an. And these rules must be made for the good of mankind, especially women. With the hijab, Allah wants us to raise the dignity of women. Since returning from pilgrimage, I intend to try for 40 days. Remove the 40 days, I even feel uncomfortable to remove the veil when out of the house. Alhamdulillah, up to now I still veiled. The husband was very supportive of my scarf.

The desire to make the way I dress covered in change. Can no longer be much less stringent showing genitalia. I am ashamed that remember a time when I am happy to wear short skirts. During the process of wearing hijab for the first time, I face many temptations, especially pressure from family Mami. They thought I was weird because a lot of Muslims women do not wear hijab. Also from friends association before veiled. They say I wear hijab most only briefly, will also be released again.

I remember in 1996 not many who wear the hijab, so when I viewed it as alien by family and friends. To me, all it is a challenge. In my heart even fervor to fight the challenge. Period only just been surrendered. With the hijab, I am so motivated to improve my character. Alhamdulillah, I underwent during the learning process, supporting the husband's family. Now I'm in a big family environment that the average female veiled. In fact, now Mrs. SAA families who were originally hostile to me, now you can receive.

With veiled, morality must also be changed. Shame it feels when you're dressed like this, our morals are bad. Muslim clothing also keeps us from the passions and temptations. This allows us in life and worship. Try not we dress that shows genitalia. It would be seduced by men. Yes if a strong faith. If it is not strong, households could fall apart, then arise adultery. Who is wrong? In this case women. Not a male. Because women who showed his private parts. Indeed, the eye was the gift of God and serves to see, but in our religion, men are required to maintain vision.

I teach children who do not dress open. They see me everyday veiled, Alhamdulillah they understand. So most of my kids do not want to wear clothes that are not sleeved. When there is ever a recitation, he was told by a scholar from Iran who said that the age of nine girls should wear headscarves. My son says he already knows. He will wear the headscarf for another year because now she's only eight years old. I never taught it. Awareness is growing of the child's own heart. Hence the importance of family, early children had to be prepared. Since then, the picture and their understanding of religion began to take shape.

I live Islam through the learning process. Starting from good intentions, God heard my prayer and given road. At first my husband and repent, then began to worship. Even my husband who used to be less in beribadahnya, now even more diligent and learn from me. During the learning process, I was so much to know. So I can compare which ones need and which ones are good. In fact, my husband had not worked because it followed an understanding that emphasizes the importance of worship to be leaving the worldly interests. But now no longer. Now my husband held a recitation 3 times a week at home. This study is open to anyone. Often there is jama'ah who can not afford and his home away, because he benighted our capacity to stay at home.

I'm sure God must have a purpose. Behind all this, there must be a silver lining. Try to imagine so many people, three times a week once a week plus husband recitation recitation mothers. Eat and drink, all guaranteed. Where the cost for all this. Especially in difficult times like now. But Alhamdulillah, there are just way. God who gave us adequacy. I feel that given the excess by God to be able to help others.

I realize the good fortune that God has given a deposit that we actually borrowed from God to be used in the way of Allah. What we can actually have the rights of others in it that must be removed. I am grateful to still dicukupkan fortune by God. When compared with the first, the husband's income more precisely. But fortune gained I now know everything kosher, the right person is in it too is eliminated. We do not take the rights of others. With so many people who should be helped, actually, I feel deprived. I was sad because he could not help more people. But God the Most Set determine how much ability I now help others through the dititipkanNya fortune.

What I learned from the learning process as long as this is an act which is based on good intentions, God willing, will be made easy path by God. With sincerity in doing something, God will not let us suffer. If it is God lowering trials, it is because God wants to show us the silver lining. Also to remind us not to show off in front of fellow human beings, because there are many other people in need.

Experience during my studies of Islam, it turns out science is extremely broad. Many of us do not know and it makes us feel small. It turned out that the knowledge I can be very small. By knowing the limitations, we will not become arrogant. Thought he knew everything. We must keep learning. In the study we were not be absorbed in the doctrines or particular streams. Islam is one, our sisters and brothers. Right now we are still easily be broken because of different opinions. Let us learn again. Learning for the advancement of Islam, including Islamic economics to be the same with people of other faiths.

The Bosnian women admitted more find peace with veiled and more appreciated by others when wearing jilbab.Berbeda with European countries neighboring Bosnia, in Bosnia itself, is not a law that forbade it. Jilbab regarded as privacy clothes everyone is free to use it. This encourages the growing number of users headscarves in Bosnia and elsewhere that Muslim clothier also increasingly centers are mushrooming in spending.

Actually I also Want to Wear Hijab

Sister that not he was kept a lot of excuses: "God has not given me
guidance. Actually I also wish he was kept, but about what if until
now God has not given me guidance?, Pray me to immediately get
guidance! "

Sister who argue like this has been mired in a real mistake.
We would like to ask: "How do you know that God has not give
guidance? "

If the answer is, "I know", then one of two possibilities:

First, he knows the unseen which is in the book that hidden
(Lauhul Mahfuz). He must know also that he was among those
the damned and going to hell.

Second, there are other beings who were preaching to him about her fate, that
he did not include women who receive guidance. Could be that informs
the angels or even human.

if the answer was not possible there, how do you know God
not give guidance? This is one problem.

Another problem is, God has explained in His book, that guidance was
There are two kinds. Each is a guidance and guidance dilaIah Taufiq.
Hidayah Dilalah
This is a guidance or instructions on the truth. In this guidance, there
intervention and human effort, in addition to the guidance of Allah and the guidance
His Apostle. God has shown the path of truth in human mukallnf,
He also has shown the way evil that deviate from the guidelines
The Apostle and his book. The apostles had been explained this way to his nation.
So did the preacher. They are all explained in this way to humans. So
all took part in this guidance.

Taufiq Hidayah
This guidance only belongs to Allah alone, no partner for Him (in the provision of
Taufiq this guidance). He is a confirmation of truth in the hearts, preservation of
deviation, help to keep climbing and steadfast in the path of truth,
driving on the love of faith. Drivers on hatred towards kufr,
wickedness and disobedience.

Taufiq Hidayah given to those who fulfill God's call and
follow the instructions.
Type this guidance comes after dilalah guidance. From the start, with no
choose love, God showed the truth to all mankind. God
said, means:

"And as for the Tsamua then they have guided us, but they
more like the blind (error) than the instructions that .... "(Fushshilat: 17)

And for that, God created the potential in everyone mukaIlaf to
choose between the path of righteousness or evil path. If he chose the road
truth by his own volition then Taufiq guidance will come to him.
Allah says:

It means: "And those who ask for guidance, God (will) increase
instructions on them and gave them a (reply) ketakwaannya ".
(Muhammad: 17)

If he chooses according to his own evil, then God will
add error to him and distanced him from God's guidance and Taufiq.
Allah says:

It means: "Say: 'Whoever is in error, then let
Merciful prolong the tempo for him .... "(Maryam: 75)

It means: ... And when they turn away (from truth), God turned
their hearts. " (Ash Shaf: 5)

Taufiq Hidayah Penumpamaan
Ash Shaykh Sya'rawi the analogy is very striking about the guidance
Taufiq this, and it is the laws. He likens the
someone who asks an address. The man went to the police traffic
to ask for the address. Other police advised: "You can walk
straight along this street until the crossroad you turn right,
then there is the hall, you turn left, where you get the highway,
across the highway will be visible building with a large pamphlet,
That's the address you are looking for. "

The person is faced with two choices, believe in the police manual or
denied. If you believe in the police, he will immediately move to follow
instructions it receives. If the run continues in accordance with police instructions,
he will move closer to a place and address that he wanted.

If he does not trust the police suggestion that even are cursed as
liar, so he walked to the opposite direction, the more distant
he walked, the far too kesesatannya. That is the parable of the instructions and
error.

This is an appropriate metaphor for closer understanding sunnatullah
this. Who would choose truth, God will help and confirming the diagnosis. And
who choose evil, God would be misleading it and let it
together with the accompanying demons.

Find Causes Hidayah, Undoubtedly you It The
That the laws which apply to all creatures. Allah says:
... And occasionally you will not get a replacement for the sunnah of Allah, and
It was not (too) will see the deviation for the sunnah of Allah. "
(Faathir: 43)

As for the laws of fate change, will only happen if the human
start by changing first himself, others seek
the causes of the changes meant. Allah says:

It means: "Verily Allah does not change the state of a people so that they
change the existing situation on themselves. "(Ar Ra'd: 11)

So people who want guidance, and wants other people
pray for him to get it, he has struggled with
causes that can deliver these to get guidance.

In this case, there is a good example of self-Maryam. One day, he
desperate need of food, when it fact, he was in very weak condition,
as common in women who want to give birth. Then God
ordered him to do a business that men once the most powerful
would not be able to do so. Mary asked to wiggle the base
palm trees, although the base of the palm trees are very sturdy and difficult
shake-shake. Allah says:

It means: "And shake the base of the palm trees at you .... (Maryam: 25)
Maryam may not be able to shake the base of the palm trees, while he was in
a very weak condition. It was only meant as an attempt to find cause
by putting his hand on the palm trees.

Thus fulfilling the law of causality and the laws in terms of
changes. So the result is:
It means: "The tree will abort the palm fruit that ripen to you."
(Maryam: 25)
These are the laws of change. No way believers continually
was in the mosque, even though at the Grand Mosque with just sitting and
worship God, Seraya rizki expect from God.

Surely God will not grant it without her own search for the causes
rizki them. The sky can not rain all of a sudden lowering of gold and
silver.

Therefore, O ukhti, try to find the causes of guidance, undoubtedly
you get it by Allah's guidance. Among the businesses it is
pray in order to get guidance, to choose friends who Shalihah, always reading,
study and ponder the Book of Allah, following the dhikr and assemblies
religious lectures, listening to tapes of religious teaching, reading books about
faith and so forth.

However, before doing all that you should first
leave the things that could distances from the road guidance. As Friends
that is not good, read the magazines that do not educate, witnessed
TV TV we generate illicit deeds, travel
without a mahram, a relationship with the youth (courtship), and
other things that are contrary to the way of guidance.

E. Doubtful FIFTH: FEAR not sell marriage

Some akhawat that did not quibble with the hijab is not afraid of marriage behavior
Doubtful whispered by Satan in the soul that is not part akhawat he was kept
This base is the feeling that young people will not want to decide
married unless she has seen the body, hair, skin, beauty and
The girl's jewelry. If he was he was kept, or wearing veils, of course nobody
can be seen from him, so that the youth are reluctant to make decisions
to marry her.

Ironically, these beliefs are, not only the akhawat monopoly, but
also the trust of parents, in the end they prohibit
children of her daughter wearing the hijab. Doubtful this can not be received via two
fundamental reasons.

Assessment of Basic Theory Side
Although beauty is one of the most fundamental cause of marriage,
but he was not the only reason he married her. Messenger of Allaah
'Alaihi wasallam said:

"She was married for four things. That is because the wealth, lineage,
beauty and her religion. Get a woman who cling to religion,
(If not) necessarily hands smeared with dust.

Indeed the case. Men not only look at the elements
beauty per se, but there are other things that blend with the beauty that
or apart from it, which is used as consideration in choosing a wife. But
many girls and parents who think beauty is
everything. Or at least make the beauty as an element
Most importantly, while other things can be ruled out. Clearly, the way the mind
such is contrary to human instinct.

Assessment of the Empirical Side
It could be the attitude of the girls who used to show genitals, which are intended
to captivate a man, become a boomerang for him. How much action
it only made the young men reluctant to marry her. For the young men could have
it is assumed, if the woman dared to violate one command
God, the hijab, it is possible he would dare to violate
other commands. Because the devil has many tricks.

Although sometimes the fact that there are not always consistent with this opinion,
but that was the state of the majority of our youth today. Youth
who edited her hijab girl, her name will be fragrant, although he
itself does not include people who are assessed obey the command
religion.

F. Doubtful SIXTH: HE STILL HAS NOT ADULT

This doubtful many circulating among parents and some who akhawat
not her hijab. Actually, these kids already have the intention to use
hijab, but then postponed because of this doubtful. Therefore, this excuse more
deserve the name of lust than doubtful.

Most of them said: "Do not get banned enjoy life. He
yet still immature. He was still pleased with the beautiful clothes, primp
with a variety of make-up and still likes to show her beauty. All
This makes it more happy and enjoy life. "

Why do we prohibit and impede happiness just when their age
still relatively very young?
If we already missed the train, why we make it too
missed the train with in such a hurry?

In their opinion, pupillage take up to children aged two
twenty years. Therefore, while there are girls who are coming month at the age of 13
years, she still considered a child.

Advice for The Guardian
Indeed the saints, either father or mother who prevents his daughter's children
her hijab, ostensibly because it is still immature, they have a responsibility
great responsibility before God on the Day of Judgement.

When a girl get menstruating, he must at once also had the hijab,
according to the shari'ah. If the guardian she forbade her hijab, then she gets
great sin, and God's will, ask about it on the day of Judgement. God
said:

It means: "And resist them (in place of rest) because they
will be asked ". (Ash-Shaaffaat: 24)
That is if he sent his daughter wearing the hijab since early.
Prophet ShalIallahu 'alaihi wasallam said:
"Each of you is the leader and each of you will be asked about
they lead .... "

A father was the first leader in the household. On the day of Judgement he
will be asked about each person who was under his leadership.

Every father should ask himself: "How many
youth who are tempted by his daughter's child? How far his daughter cause
deviation of the youth? "

The expression of Love for Children Puteri
God as a witness, how we are deeply worried about you will get
punishment of God. We were so desperate to save you from any danger that would
happen, both in the world and the hereafter. It is the duty of a Muslim
to another Muslim brother.

Among the dangers that would befall ukhti not known to be the hijab, both in the world
and in the hereafter, is as mentioned the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam
in his saying:

"There will be at the end of my people, the men who rode like a saddle
the men, they fell in front of the doors of the mosque, the women they
dress (but) naked, on top of their heads (there is something) like
the graceful camel hump. Laknatlah them!, In fact they are
women cursed.

O ukhti who had no hijab! Do you know the meaning of anathema? Anathema means
kept away from the grace of Allah Ta'ala.
In the hadeeth, the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasalam ordered each
Muslims, for the kind of woman cursed as already mentioned. Namely they
dressed in their bodies, but not to close his private parts,
so as if they were naked. In another hadith the Prophet sallallaahu
alaihi wasalam said:

"Two groups, including residents of Hell, I (myself) had never seen
them, namely the people who carry whips, such as cows, with
they whip the men, and women who are dressed (but) bare,
wiggle and waddle, their heads (something) like
hump camel swaying. They certainly will not enter Heaven, even
do not get the smell. And actually smell that heavenly smell from a distance
travel so and so ". (HR.Muslim)

In the hadith are the properties in detail about the class of women
this, namely:
Wearing some clothes, but he resembles a naked person, because
most of his body open and it is easy to arouse male lust,
such as thighs, arms, hair, chest and others. Also see-through clothes
view or a very tight, thus forming the contours of her body, then he
like naked, though dressed.

The road lenggak-sway and sway, so that arouse lust.

Her head looks taller, because he makes art decorations of feathers or
synthetic hair, because of the high, he is like a camel hump.

Hadith also clarifies the nature of women who do not attend classes
heaven, even the mere smell the fragrance was not, but the grace of God
includes all the heavens and the earth. Not to mention the Prophet Shallallalhu 'upon him
Wasallam who commanded the Muslims to curse them. "Laknatlah them,
indeed they were cursed woman. "

We do not want, but good for you our concerns to
yourself, encourage our hope from the deepest depths of our hearts, to
you away from everything that is unpopular. May God fill the hearts
you with a light that never goes out, then you win
fight against demons, jinn and humans. Next you determined
liberate self-entrapment and release of prisoners of passions, to the natural
freedom, glory, honor, peace and sanctity of nature.

Do You Ensure You're Still The length?
O ukhti that did not hijab! You do not want to he was kept under the pretext still
immature, if you can guarantee a long old while longer?
Do you know, or someone preaching to you about when you
going to die?

If not, then perhaps death would pick you up after a year, month,
week, day, hour or a second later. All of that department may, during
we do not know when our death will come.

O ukhti, death is not just knock on the door of the sick, nor
the elderly, but also the people in good health, people
adult, youth and even until the baby is still sucking at her mother's lap.

Being a new Moslem, a New Trend Among Women Learned English

Being a new Moslem, a New Trend Among Women Learned English

News-in-law Tony Blair who announced the conversion of a Muslim faith last weekend opened a lot of stories of new Muslims in the UK. Daily Mail lowering topics unusual in their front yard: about new trends confidence in the UK. The findings they mention, there is a trend among educated women in the UK - most are career women - who choose Islam as their new faith.

Tony Blair-in-law, Lauren Booth, 43, said he was now wearing the hijab head covering every time they leave home. He also confessed to pray five times a day and visit a local mosque whenever he can.

Lauren works as a journalist and television anchor. He decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom. "This is a Tuesday night, and I sat down and felt this spiritual morphine injection, only the absolute happiness and joy," her said.

Before going to Iran, he claimed to have been interested in Islam and has spent much time working as a journalist in Palestine. "I am always impressed with the strength and comfort was in the midst of Muslims," he said.

According to Kevin Brice from Swansea University, who specializes in studying the conversion of conviction, said the wave of educated women are turning Britain into the Muslim faith is part of the interesting trends.

"They're looking for the essence of spirituality, meaning higher, and tend to think deeply before deciding. But in this context, I call fsebagai phenomenon of "converts of convenience". They will think religion is a fun tool their Muslim husbands and families, but will not always attend the mosque, praying, and fasting, "he said.

True? Kristiane Backer, women 43 years and former MTV VJ who became an icon of Western liberals who long for life when his young teens, shook his head. "Permissive society which I have dreamed as a young man was very superficial, not giving any inner peace," he said.

The turning point for Kristiane came when he met former Pakistani cricketer and a Muslim, Imran Khan in 1992. She took him to Pakistan. In a country lover, she immediately touched by spirtualitas and warmth of the people of Islam in the country.

"Even then my love affair with Imran Khan aground, I learned the spirit of Islam did not participate aground. I started to study Islam and eventually became converts, "he said.

According to him, Islam is a religion oriented. "In the West, we emphasize for superficial reasons, like what clothes to wear. In Islam, everyone is moving to a higher purpose. Everything is done to please God. That is a different value system, "he added.

For a large number of women, their first contact with Islam comes from dating Muslim boyfriend. Lynne Ali, 31, from Dagenham in Essex, admit it. In the past, his life is just a party. "I'll go out and get drunk with friends, wearing tight clothes and ogling anyone dating a man who wanted me," he said.

On the sidelines of his job as a nightclub DJ for London's board, he made time to church. But when he met his girlfriend, Zahid, at university, something dramatic happens. "He started talking to me about Islam, and it is as though everything in my life fitted into place. I think, under it all, I'm definitely looking for something, and I do not feel it was filled with rah-huraku lifestyle with alcohol and promiscuity. "

At the age of 19 years, Lynne decided to become converts. "From that day anyway, I decided to wear hijab," she said. "This is the 12th year my hair was always covered in public. At home, I would dress normal Western clothes in front of my husband, but not to leave the house. "

YouGov survey recently concluded that more than half of British people believe Islam is the negative effect of encouraging extremism, oppression of women and inequality. But statistics prove Islamic conversion shows a significant development. Islam is, after all, the fastest growing religion in the world. "Evidence shows that the ratio of western women converting to man can be as high 2:1," says British sociologist, Kevin Brice.

In addition, he said, usually women converts want to show the signs of their new religion - particularly the headscarf - although Muslim girl who was raised in the Islamic tradition would instead opt not veiled. "Perhaps as a result of this action, which tends to attract attention, which often melaporkandiskriminasi Muslim mualaflah against them than those who became Muslim from birth," he added.

It was recognized Backer. "In Germany, there is Islamophobia. I lost my job when I repent. There is a campaign against me by innuendo about all Muslims support terrorists - in essence I am slandered. Now, I am a presenter on NBC Europe, "he said.

It was diamini Lyne. "I call myself a European Muslims, who differ with those who become Muslims since birth. As a European Muslim, I question everything - I do not accept blindly. And in the end it must be admitted, Islam is a religion the most logical logically, "he said.

"Many women converts in the UK are also converting their religion because they are attracted to the warmth of the relationship between fellow Muslims. "Some are interested to feel again the values that have been eroded in the West," said Haifaa Jawad, senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham, who has studied the phenomenon of religious conversion. "Many people, from all walks of life, mourning the loss of respect for the tradition of parents and women, for example. These are the values contained in the Quran, which Muslims have to live with it, "Brice added.

Values such as these also interesting Camilla Leyland, 32, a yoga teacher who lives in Cornwall, on Islam. He was a single mother to child, Inaya, two years. He claimed to be Muslim in the mid 20s to 'reason intellectuals and feminists'.

"I know people will be surprised to hear the words 'feminism' and 'Islam' in the same breath, but in reality, the teachings of the Koran to give equality to women, and when religion was born, the teachings go against the grain misogynistic society," he added.

During this time, the wrong view of Islam, he said. "Islam is accused of oppressing women, but that I feel when an adult, I actually feel more oppressed by a Western society."

Growing up in Southampton - his father is the director of Southampton Institute of Education and his mother a
economists - the first time Camilla tangent to Islam at school. He knows Islam while in college and later took a masters degree in Middle Eastern Studies. While living and working in Syria, he found spiritual enlightenment.

Reflecting on what he read in the Koran, he realized that Islam was looking for this. "People will be difficult to believe that a highly educated woman from middle class will choose to become Muslims," he said, imitating his father's comment at the time. But he steadily became Muslim.

Now, he who claimed never to leave the prayer five times but not yet covered it declared itself to have "liberated". "I am very grateful to find a way out for myself. I am no longer a slave to a corrupt society. "
