The Veil
They say, "Oh, poor girl, you're so beautiful you know
It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so."
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly,
"This beauty that I have is just one simple part of me.
This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.
These long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.
Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn't you agree?"
This hijab,
This mark of piety,
Is an act of faith, a symbol,
For all the world to see.
A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.
They tell her, "Girl, don't you know this is the West and you are free?
You don't need to be oppressed, ashamed of your femininity."
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly,
"See the bill-boards and the magazines that line the check-out isles,
with their phony painted faces and their air-brushed smiles?
Well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns they are really not for me.
You call it freedom, I call it anarchy."

voitko kertoa, jos jaksat, niin mitä siinä videossa tapahtuu? Koneeni ei suostu avaamaan sitä ollenkaan.
Siinä on vaan tuo nasheed laulettuna.. voit googlettaa sen niin löydät pelkän laulun ilman videota inshaAllaah.
Nainen kirjoittaa sitä mitä SIKA islam mies käskee !
Tämä minua aina ihmetyttää. Luullaan tietävänsä kaikki toisten elämästä. Tiedätkö edes olenko naimisissa? Ja koska olen islamiin palannut niin isäni eikä veljeni eivät pahemmin ole kiinnostuneita tällaisista asioista.
Joten - kuka se mies on? (olettaen että et edes tunne minua) Ota huomioon että Suomessa on paljon naisia jotka palaavat Islamiin tuntematta edes niitä muslimimiehiä. Minä olen yksi niistä.
Onko teille tullut koskaan mieleen, että se on vain pala kangasta päänne ympärillä?
JA OLLA YRITTÄMÄTTÄ KIELTÄÄ SITÄ, siis olla yrittämättä syrjiä muslimi-naisia ja olla yrittämättä suostutella/pakottaa heitä olemaan käyttämättä sitä, jos he kerran haluavat käyttää sitä?
Pakottamalla ei varmasti tule kuin vastakkainen reaktio ja huivi pysyy entistä tiukemmin ja peittävämmin, sellainen on ihmisen psykologia niin tärkeissä asioissa kuten uskonnossa.
