Are Hijabs a Story of Oppression?

By David Spenser


The debate about extremism as well as oppression towards Islam against lady is a never ending one it seems. The media seems to keep on focusing during the rights of Muslim girl being violated by mandating outfits articles that keep the body covered while in the majority of Muslim countries. Islamic outfits items such as hijabs as well as abayas that cover the body from head to toe are under constant scrutiny by feminine activists as well as women's rights spokespersons. Regardless for the fact that most Muslim lady choose to wear these hijabs or jilbab, the discussions never cease.

The point that the Western world as well as advocates of pro choice seem in order to have forgotten is that less than 100 years ago, female living in to European and American countries as well used in order to wear clothing that fully covered them from the throat in order to the feet. It was considered vulgar and inappropriate for woman to expose their bodies to any member of the opposite sex. The long trailing robes as well as gowns made up the whole contents of the women wardrobe. Into addition to these gowns, it was mandatory to wear fitted pants below the gown, in order to prevent even the slightest bit of exposure during movement.

That's why the Muslim girl are told that the hijabs they wear are made compulsory by the male dominating Muslim society as a way in order to oppress them? Why was it alright for the western female in order to wear clothes that were acceptable in order to the males of their society, however , a Muslim girl cannot cover herself in order to please Allah? The girl do have a choice as well as they choose in order to wear jilbabs and jilbabs in some cases. They select these clothing simply because they are the proper way of dressing prescribed by Islam.

There's no way that an attire might either oppress or set free any man or female in the world. The apparel worn only symbolizes the choice for the person and how they opt in order to portray themselves in order to the world. A Muslimah feels confident and liberated wearing the girl jilbabs and jilbabs, as they signify the woman's faith as well as belief in to Allah and his Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H). These very hijabs are mentioned during the Quran as the way for a lady to apparel as well as every Muslim women who chooses in order to put on them feels proud as well as honoured to be a component of the faith.

These hijabs are definitely not a sign of repression as well as have to not be considered as such either by the Western world. As a matter of fact, they represent the respect, esteem and value imparted in order to us by the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H).
