Forbidden To Wear Hijab In The Office

Forbidden To Wear Hijab In The Office

It may be a lesson I ever took from a friend. Ban hijab in office made him decide to stop working, even though other employees also know that he is an employee who is competent enough to work together in the office. "Ironic" ... .!!!!!, Apparently there are still racists office prohibiting female employees to wear hijab. Though the veil is an obligation as well as the right of every Muslim. This is what makes me more sad to hear it.

Call it office A, fitting the initial work is absolutely no indication or any agreement for any employee to any religion. For me this is the right of every individual to choose his path. My friend, let's call it "Nina" (a pseudonym) came up with that morning to collect his intention to wear the hijab. I know he wants the veil is not a joke. By saying "Bissmillah" he finally wore a cloth hood on his head. trerkejut friends in the office looked at him with astonished faces, although there are some who support it. The afternoon might be one of the most difficult choice for him. Suddenly he called his boss to face his room, without any thought, because he knew every day he was often dealing with his boss to work problems.

"Please sit down", said The boss with half-rising tone, Nina Spontaneous heart pounding, probably a bad sign for him. "Nina, why are you wearing a hijab?" Asked the boss with a serious look. Nina seeks to answer the question casually boss "I want to wear it, because I've been called sir," Nina said modestly. "Nin sorry, here you have to remove the veil, if you can wear it after work anymore, so the rules", said the boss with a cigarette butt being smoked. "Regulation Sir ,,,,? I never signed the regulation, and labor agreements from the beginning there was no prior agreement, "said Nina astonishment. "But I am strictly prohibits the hijab here, you may wear it outside of working hours, but not in this office", answered the boss slightly elevated. "Now it's up to you, want to come rules or signatures please resign letter". Without thinking he finally chose the letter resigned later that day he finally officially resigned at company A is.

Like lightning in the afternoon, perforated my friend Nina has worked for 2 years only a matter of wearing jlbab resign. painful it's just a matter like this make it right as a citizen of Indonesia taken away. Regulation is not there makes it even more to wonder. Must be before he accepted to work there used to be binding rules, but the fact there are no regulations prohibiting it first.

So sad and tragic to hear it, but I'm sure God would replace it with something better. But one side telukis in my memory that I understand not the state religion Indonesia, Indonesia's state law, but freedom of religion in the country itself is also difficult. I as a woman and as are other women there who suppressed their rights just because of faith and freedom in so melancholy veiled in wondering "How Can ? '. then what should be done to the government and the state for such problems, followed up or ignored?. Because for me this is not a regulatory problem that occurs offhand with a variety of alibi rule that no formal office, but how do we assess this problem before god.

Treatment of intimidation and arbitrary as it o be allowed, and the problem of the imposition of the veil of half-center like Nina's case above is also not a solution it only adds to the lack of Muslim faith who do not hold principle. Fortunately she could prove that the pull out of the office is the right choice than he sold his self-esteem of a faith. Hopefully we can take a lesson and continue to fight the authoritarian office makes no sense rules such as these.

Hijab And Their Religious Significance

Hijab And Their Religious Significance

The importance of hijab in Islam is very important to understand for the Muslims and non Muslims. This word can be literally translated from Arabic into said veil or cover. Since Arabic is the language, in which all the revelations about the Islamic religion communicated to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), therefore it is used quite often throughout the Qur'an as a substitute for courtesy and good clothes to be worn by all Muslims. Arabic is not the primary language of Muslims, however, all trying to learn the language in order to be able to read and understand the Qur'an. However, it has been translated into other languages ​​including English and Urdu to make it easy for people to understand the important message conveyed in it.

According to various interpretations of the holy Quran, it is generally understood that the term refers to the headscarf or hijab head covering worn by Muslim women. With time though, there appear various religious groups, which although following the basic tenets of Islam, but have certain differences between them based on how they interpret the teachings of the Holy Quran. Because of this sectarianism, the topic of the hijab has received a lot of analysis of variance.

Group of countries which means that most fundamentalist veil that covers her entire body from head to toe in a black loose fitting clothing that hides even the hands, feet and face except the eyes. Contrary to that, the most liberal Muslims consider it just needs to wear proper clothing and do not let the body do not need. The most common and perhaps most moderate Muslims but did not agree with either of these versions. According to them, is very important to cover the head with a scarf, called a hijab, but there is no limit on the black robes are often only fitted loosely referred to as the abaya by them over the clothes worn are not promiscuous in any way.

The debate goes on and on among all Muslims of the world's opinion is different, but all are set in following what they believe is the true meaning of the hijab. What all failed to understand the religious significance of the veil, that is to preach the honor and maintain its integrity. The question should not be whether to cover the hands and feet are correct or the right to wear pants. Questions should be discussed what we learned from wearing clothing that does not expose the body for all to see. It not only teaches respect for self, but also to respect others and the values ​​and beliefs.

Hijab Uncovered & Explained

Hijab Uncovered & Explained

Hijab has been greatly argued, and has become one of the most debated issues in the west and around the world. It has for a number of reasons such as the veil becomes a symbol of oppression in Muslim societies that tend to be very patriarchal, preventing women from having any role in society and used as political symbols. These are just some of the reasons among many that have earned extremely negative view of the veil in the media. As a repercussion wear the hijab has been banned in some countries such as Turkey, France and Tunisia.

Despite the negative perceptions and stereotypes surrounding the hijab in the west and the other world there has been a huge wave of Muslim women who wear hijab. There has been a significant increase in non-Muslim women convert to Islam and wearing the hijab who has studied Islam with objectivity despite the negative hype surrounding the hijab. Many Muslim woman and convert to Islam has come to love the veil and feel very proud to adhere to the concept of hijab. The women were asked about the attitude that men have toward them after they started wearing the hijab and the response is that it has a positive impact and men treat them better with respect and dignity.

What is the hijab? To try to answer this question I will still be very brief and be as concise as possible. Headscarf as a piece of fabric comes from the Arabic word for "covering / hiding". The common use of the veil is to "head covering" which hides all but the face of women according to the verses of the holy Al-Quran 24:31. Rather than being a symbol of oppression that freed women from the sexual objectification of the status of respect and honor in society. In the advent of Islam women were ordered to observe veil but have not given the right to ownership, entrepreneurship and allowed to take positions on political institutions.

The condition specified by the headscarf is that it should be used in simple colors that are not considered as tabarruj namely blinding and display of beauty. This can differ from place to place, region to region and culture to culture such as in Saudi Arabia is considered a brightly colored scarf featuring the beauty, but in some countries in Africa and parts of Asia hijab is considered part of the cultural norm to wear bright colors. This has paved the way for Muslim women to experiment with veils in different colors and designs in this respect the rules and regulations set by Islam.

This has led to creative style of veil is being designed by specialist designers who not only see the bright colors plain veil but introduces hijab design a variety of different occasions with casual wear, smart and special. Some outlets have introduced a variety of seasonal veil themselves for spring, summer and winter to coordinate the right style, color and design according to mood. Hijab has shown more than just a piece of cloth boring and repressive prevent women from taking part in society.

In fact, the hijab frees women from sexual exploitation and to respect themselves dignified position. With it, maintaining an appropriate form of Islamic rule established and able to adjust to the soft with the appropriate norms of different areas.

The Command In Hijab

The Command In Hijab

We never get an explanation from one of our teachers who stated that if someone was indeed faithful and righteous to Allah and His Messenger, it is sufficient for him one argument only (either from the Qur'an and Sahih Assunnah) to hasten the practice of the contents of the argument.

Rahimakumulloh Muslim friend, wearing a hijab for Muslim women is obligatory based on arguments from the Qur'an or in Assunnah. Therefore, if a Muslim was indeed faithful and righteous to Allah and His Messenger, then he is obliged to implement the hijab.

Rahimakumulloh Muslim friend, hijab is concerned with the physical state of the body. So there is no term "critical heart had a hijab, hijab and then his body". It has clear command of the Qur'an and Assunnah this veil, which is related to the body, not your heart. Because the heart has its own settings, and any entity (physically looks outside) has its own settings, it can not be confused.

To better provide an explanation of the friend of all Muslims, the following is the interpretation of verses of the Qur'an by Imam Ibn Kathir regarding hijab command.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa says in sura Al-Ahzaab (33) verse 59,


Wearing Hijab command

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa says to His Messenger commanded to tell the women of all believers, as well as particular instructions to wives and his children because of their glory, to stick or scarf to wrap around their bodies.

The goal is that they are easy to recognize from the women ignorant and slave-slave women. Veil itself is a kind of a long shawl coat hoods placed. The interpretation of the hijab as was stated by Ibn Mas'ud, 'Ubaydah, al-Hasan al-Basri, S'aid bin Jubair, Ibrahim an-Nakha'i,' Atha 'al-Khurasani and many other scholars. Headscarf at the present time is the same as izar (cloth). Al-Jauhari said, "The hijab is a cloth that covers the entire body".

'Ali bin Abi Talhah said from Ibn' Abbas radhiyallohu'anhumaa, he said, "Allah commanded the believing women, when they get out of their homes for a purpose, they should cover their faces from above their heads with a headscarf. Until the looks of them was a seed eyes only ". (Tabari, XX/324)

Muhammad bin Sirin said, "I asked 'Ubaydah as-Salmani about the word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa," Let them extend their scarf around your body.', Then 'Ubaidah directly covering the face and head and his left eye just appeared. " (Tabari, XX/325)

Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa, "That is so they are easier to be recognized, therefore they are not disturbed," that is, if they put her hijab throughout the body, surely they will be easily recognized that it is the women believers are independent . They are not a slave nor a prostitute, and they will not be disturbed.

Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alaa, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful ", for all the sins and mistakes they did in the days of ignorance, because they do it all without the knowledge of religion.

Why Jilbab - Hijab ?

WHY JILBAB ?

Any Muslim women must realize that there is no necessity for her hijab, only partly there are still reluctant or embarrassed to wear it for reasons not yet ready because of his heart and his religion has not been good, prayer is still rare that improper veiling. "Veiling another time when it's really good. Or, from the veiled but still love to live freely, still likes to sin, it's better not to wear the hijab first."

Actually there is little understanding that needs to be clarified. Basically, the veil was not waiting to see if the attitude he should be well ahead of time what has not, or to pray he's complete or not, or whether he had gone on the pilgrimage yet. Hijab, not at all relate to it all. Hijab is the identity of every Muslim woman, so when he baligh automatically, enter the age of religious responsibility (taklif) must wear the hijab.

Although she is still naughty though. Certainly not right now because someone refuses veiled excuse earlier. It is certainly hard to get it started, but we also can not just blame why Muslim women are not veiled, because the environmental elements that make the most Muslim women are less precise understanding of the hijab. Again, that needs to be clarified, if you see a veiled Muslim woman and still misbehaving then we say: "it is veiled, but still so his attitude, there is no function him with her scarf." This is the utterance of a false assumption, because once again, the veil there is no connection with it all. Though of veiling itself is helping to maintain and quietly become a strong shield for every Muslim, and slowly turn it so the better.

So how about now that has not been covered? Well .. driven at least in the liver intention to intend to wear the hijab, because hijab is a Muslim identity, to distinguish with the other, it is a necessity without seeing all of readiness before .. As prayer is a must for every Muslim. A fairness it if a community wants to look different from other communities?

May God keep us always, and shows us the true way of life, amen.

Three Muslim women were surprised when he heard a loud shout of a white woman with blond hair. It does not sound clear, because a woman's voice was crashing the subway passing by.

According Gehad, the veil is part of her identity. For him, the veil is like a pair of shoes. "When wearing the hijab, I do not stop to play football and volleyball. I interact with people, and not stuck in a cubicle," he said.

Ambren Syed, another Muslim, had hesitated to say whether wearing a hijab or not. But for Syed family, which is an immigrant from Banglore, wearing a headscarf is a tradition. "I'm scared," recalls 24 year old girl. "I'm afraid of the reaction of people around. Can I live with a veil, can I love him."

Ambren disappointed with the excessive attention of the veil. Because, for him, the attention it is another form of racism. "I decided to wear the hijab as a form of resistance and freedom of expression. I want to be identified as a Muslim," he said.

Over time, Ambren felt I knew the benefits of wearing a headscarf. One day, when he was 14 years old, he survived the abuse of a man unknown. "They're even scared to me," he said.

Another benefit, said Syed, she felt beautiful. "I never thought made me look beautiful veil. It's fun," he explained.

But experience is not only experienced Ambren fun. He was ostracized her friends in college. But that's past. Now, he is so respected, although there are still people who scoff.

"He's very famous in Egypt, beautiful and had everything.'s Husband, children and starred in many films. He does not feel guilty. That's what made me think about the situation that happened to me," he recalls.

Another inspiration came from his mother Sahare, Sanaa, who started wearing the hijab at the age of 40 years. "This reminds me that I do not live in a Muslim country. I must keep my faith and represent Islam," said Moroccan-born girl.

Sahare said the headscarf is a matter of his relationship with God. "I feel closer to Him. When wearing it, it made me realize that He is everywhere and knows everything," said McMaster University student who was good at taekwondo.

The girl who speaks fluent French believe that women are respected because of his religion. "Women like diamonds. You can see them in a glass box, but not everyone can touch it," said Sahare.

Sophia Siddiqi another story. He began wearing a headscarf when she was 25 years. "I was born and raised in a culture and system of the school where I teach now," he said. "But I am a Muslim and Canadians."

The year 2006 is a flashback to Sophia, when she, her husband and in-laws' umrah to Mecca. "For three weeks there, our lives ranged between prayer and worship. Makkah is a beautiful place, and most peaceful in the world," he recalls.

For Muslim sisters who have not been realized, which runs without a clue, there are a series of pearls for you, the words of the Prophet:

"Let not one of you became a non-opinionated, who said: I'm with the people, if they are good, I'm good, when they do evil, I will do evil. However, establish yourself, if they are good, then you do good, and if they are bad, then stay away from crime ".

For you who always said: When I wear the hijab in the land of infidels, people will see and watching me, but when I took off my hijab, I like them, no one notices me.

O my sister is smart and clever: the real crimes against the current, consistent, commitment, and consistent in the truths of the country especially unbelievers is the faith that is called by God, should not one make ijtihad determine when the existing legal texts of the Qur'an and Hadith.

Political science expert and former special blogger fashion hijab, Imaan Ali, wearing a headscarf is not a question assessing the conservative or not. But how can a woman promoting the values ​​of decency and self carriage.

Middle East expert Mohammad Alhawry argue that the veil is a way that enables individuals, mainly women, to participate actively in society and maintain the separation of public and private space. "You see now on social networks like Facebook and other places as there is no separation," his said. That situation raises a problem with self, friends, and coworkers because of disobedience to the separation of private and public life.

For thousands of years, the veil has been dikreasikan in the form of tailored clothing with the latest trends without breaking the rules set Qur'an. Ali's example, he used the hijab since the age of 20 years. In a relatively young age, she considered a fashion enthusiast. With extensive knowledge about fashion, Ali did not want to miss the trend without having to abandon his faith to wear the hijab. "You can modify a variety of trends over the veil and make what you wear. Use your imagination, "her said. Ali said the style of hijab vary widely in all Muslim countries.

Generally, women in the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait) likes to wear a long black dress and completely closed. While women in Egypt and the Levant (including parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territories) are more colorful hijab and expose their faces. "You easily guess the country of origin based on the hijab," Ali's said,

Alhawary see Turkey is a country with considerable influence on the trend of the veil. He considered the secularization of Turkey resulted in maintaining the country's women's headscarves with creativity. "During the first seven years I wore the hijab. There is such lack of connect between clothes with my hijab, "said President of the Association of Islamic Students Eman Abdelhadi. Abdelhadi been wearing hijab since she was nine years old. She is observer of colorful silk scarf. "I tend to wear the colors are more solid," her said. Thanks to his creation that, Abdelhadi a concern. But he was not bothered by it. "There's a different feeling and seemed to be supervised," her said.

Not Yet Received

Both Ali and Alhawary had a bad experience. While in Norway, Ali had difficulty finding jobs at home because he was wearing a hijab. Alhawary opinion is important to separate the religious basis of the veil from its cultural context and religious practices. "It is necessary to understand the western countries," his said.

Despite the veil has the potential to be misinterpreted, and Abdelhadi Ali proud to wear the hijab with the terms and belief in the positive. "I really consider myself a Muslim feminist in the street, because I believe in the power of women," Ali's said..
