  • Oct-Dec 2017
    A Waqifaat-e-Nau said that in the UK they are thinking of restricting purdah (Hijab). My question is what can we Nasirat do about this? Huzur-e-Anwaraba said that if it is needed to show your face in public places for identity purposes then there is nothing harmful in it while your hair and chin are still covered, which is the minimum form of purdah (covering). Huzuraba said, but they are also thinking of banning Hijab or also of deporting those mothers back to their countries who have been living in UK on spouse visas since two years and do not understand the English language. At this, an eight year old girl (Ahmadi) had written to the Prime Minister saying that although my mother has a Master’s Degree in English, her accent is such that I make fun of her, so because of this, will you take my mother away from me and deport her? It was a very emotional letter and was published in the Independent and other well circulated Newspapers too. Huzur-e-Anweraba said that similarly you should write letters too. You should write that we are Muslim girls and if we chose to cover our heads or wear hijab or cover ourselves then why does it bother you? Huzuraba said that you too should write letters and a make point across that no one is forcing us to do purdah. The Religion also says that there should be sanctity and modesty in every woman. In the Holy Qur’an, where God Almighty has Commanded women to cover themselves, men have been commanded not to look at women with wide open eyes and to lower their gaze (to do purdah of their eyes).
