THE MEANING AND AWARENESS OF HIJAB

-

The Hijab, which is the Arabicword of the
veil is much emphasized is Islam and is
considered a part of it as Islam lays much
stress on thecovering of a Muslim
women in every age and step. In many
societies Hijab is considered as a cultural part and something that is not a part of
the Islamic religion however this is not
the case. Anything that is deemed as
cultural tends to have its roots from
common practices and customs that have
been living through for a long time now. Rather the covering of the women which
resided in the past and carried on as a
cultural aspect was known as the
“Jahiliyah” which covered the women
rendering her as a lower being as
compared to man. Islam gave the concept of Hijab or a veil
to make the women an equal part of the
society rather earning her more respect
and dignity in the society. Our Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) declared clearly that
it is incumbent upon every single Muslim to search for awareness no matter how
far you have to go searching for it. Islam
respects all women as equalsin a society
and the reason for recommending Hijab
to them is only to provide them more
self respect and an added bodily protection fromthe evils and wrongs of
the society which are also a part of every
civilization.
Women in Islam have many rights which
were given to them 1400 years ago
which are not well known even by many Muslims today. Womenin Islam is give in
some instances much more respect and
honor than anything else and women
are not just mere individuals to serve
men or look after their homes or babies
rather they are acknowledged as anindividual being that has much self
respect

While looking at it more closely, you will notice that it is less assuming, has darker interiors, lower ceilings that make it look like much more quintessential of Ottoman mosques. The men’s section of the mosque is relatively very small, but also has a small number of imposing chandeliers and calligraphy paintings on the top. But, women’s section, being smaller in size to that of men’s, but is still admirably adorned. Further, you may find similarity in its structural designing to that of Ottoman structures...

SALAAT (PRAYER) In the sight of Allah Ta'ala, salaat has a very great distinction. No other act of ibaadah is dearer to Allah than salaat . Allah Ta'ala has made five times salaat compulsory on His servants. There is a great reward in offering salaat and a great sin in omitting it. It is mentioned in a Hadith that the one who performs his wudu properly and offers his salaat with full concentration; then on the day of resurrection Allah Ta'ala will forgive all his minor sins and grant him paradise. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said: " Salaat is a pillar of Deen - the one who has offered his salaat in a proper manner has upheld Deen , and the one who has demolished this pillar (i.e. did not offer his salaat ), has in fact destroyed the Deen ." Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has also said: "The first thing to be reckoned on the day of resurrection will be salaat . The hands, feet, and face of those who used to ...
