DON'T Watch This Or Read My C0MMENT As Well - Hijab Is Not Found In The Quran - Noman Ali Khan 

🔥Must Read More: 100% Evidence For Hijab & Niqab From Qur'an & Hadith: 🔥HIJAB: 1.1 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to expose their adornment except that which appears from it and to wrap their headcovers over their chests and not to expose their adornment except to their husbands…” (Surah al-Nūr 31) 1.2 Sayyidah `Āishah said that Sayyidah Asmā’ bint Abū Bakr (May Allah be pleased with them) came to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace) while wearing thin clothing. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace) disliked it and said, “O Asmā’, when a woman reaches puberty, it is not appropriate that any part (of her body) be seen other than this and this.” He indicated towards his face and hands. (Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4104) 1.3 A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to offer myself to you." He looked towards her and fixed his gaze on her. Then he lowered his head. When the woman saw that he did not make any decision, she sat down. Then, a man from his Companions stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you are not interested in her, then marry her to me." (al-Bukhārī 5126) 1.4 Sayyiduna Jābir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) said, “I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace) on `Īd. He prayed the üalāh before the khuøbah without adhān and iqāmah. He then stood up leaning on Bilal, and he enjoined [upon the people] the fear of Allah, exhorted [them] towards His obedience, advised [them] and admonished them. He then walked until he came to the women and advised them and admonished them. He then asked them to give in charity because they will make up a greater portion of fuel for Jahannam. A woman with darkened cheeks stood up and said, ‘Why, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said, ‘For you complain often and are ungrateful of your spouse.’ Then, they began to donate their jewelry such as their earrings and rings by throwing them onto Bilal’s cloth. (Muslim 2046) 1.5 Once the Prophet (Allah bless and give him peace) was riding an animal with Sayyiduna Faðl bin `Abbās sitting behind him. Sayyiduna `Alī bin Abū ùālib narrated, “A young girl (jāriyah shābbah) from Khath`am tribe asked [the Prophet] for a verdict. She said, ‘My father is an elderly man upon whom hajj has become obligatory. Will he be rewarded if I perform hajj for him?’ He said, ‘[Yes,] perform hajj for your father.’” `Alī said, "He, then, turned Faðl’s face away (as he was looking at her). So `Abbās (May Allah be pleased with them all) said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you turn your cousin’s face away?’ He said, ‘I saw a young man and a young woman, and they were not safe from Shayøān.’’ (Sunan al-Tirmidhī 885) 1.6 The Prophet (Allah bless and give him peace) said, “A woman in iúrām should not wear niqab or gloves.” (al-Bukhārī 1838) 🔥NIQAB: 2.1 O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves part of their jalābīb (outer garments). (Surah al-Aúzāb 59) 2.2 Sayyidah `Āishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said, “A woman would lower her jilbāb over her head onto her face.” (Fatú al-Bārī 3:406) 2.3 “The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace) would order the young girls, the older women, those of úijāb 10 and the menstruating women to attend the two `Īds... One of them said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! What if she does not have a jilbāb?’ He said: ‘Then, let her sister lend her a jilbāb.’” (Sunan al-Tirmidhī 539) 2.4 Sayyidah `Āishah (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated, “While I was sitting, I fell asleep. ýafwān bin al-Mu`aøøal al-Sulamī al-Dhakwānī, who had lagged the army, came to where I was. He saw the body of a person who was asleep. He recognized me when he saw me as he had seen me before [the mandating of] úijāb. I awoke when he recited, ‘Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji`ūn’ after recognizing me. I then covered my face with my jilbāb.” (al-Bukhārī 3910, Muslim 2770) 2.5 Sayyidah `Āishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said, “While we were in iúrāmwith the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless and give him peace), riders would pass by us. Whenever they rode alongside one of us women, she would lower her jilbāb from her head over her face. Whenever they had passed on, we would uncover our faces.” (Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1833) 2.6 And when you ask [the Prophet’s wives] for something, ask them from behind a úijāb. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. (Surah al-Aúzāb 53) 2.7 A woman called Umm Khallād came to the Prophet (Allah bless and give him peace) wearing a niqab. She was searching for her son, who had been killed (during abattle). Some of the Companions of the Prophet (Allah bless and give him peace) said to her, “You have come here asking for your son while veiling your face?” She said, “If I am afflicted with the loss of my son, I will not also suffer the loss of my modesty.” (Sunan Abī Dāwūd 2488) 2.7a Hishām bin `Urwah said, “Ibn Isúāq took hadith from my wife, Fāøimāh bint alMundhir. By Allah, he never saw her.” Imam al-Dhahabõ said, “Hishām is truthful in his oath. [Ibn Isúāq] never saw her. Nor has any man ever alleged that he saw her. Rather, it has only been said that she narrated to him. We (too) have taken hadith from many women and we have never seen them. In the same way, many of the Tabi`ñn14 narrated from Sayyidah `ôishah (May Allah be pleased with her) without ever having seen her face!” (Siyar A`lām al-Nubalā’ 7:37) 2.8 And those old women, who have no hope for marriage, there is no blame on them for putting aside their thiyāb while not displaying their beauty. Still, that they refrain (from this) is better for them. (Surah al-Nūr 6 2.9 `Āüim al-Aúwal said, “We came to ûafüah bint Sirīn while she had her jilbāb in such a way that it covered her face. We said to her, ‘May Allah have mercy on you. Allah ta’āla says, ‘And those old women, who have no hope for marriage, there is no blame on them for putting aside their thiyāb while not displaying their beauty.’ Then she said to us, ‘What comes after that (in the ayah)?’ We then recited, ‘Still, that they refrain (from this) is better for them.’ So she said, ‘That refers to the jilbāb.’” (alBayhaqī 7:93) 2.10 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to expose their adornment except that which appears from it and to wrap their headcovers over their chests and not to expose their adornment except to their husbands…” (Surah al-Nūr 31) So which one is obligated? Check out this short PFD to see how people from the past (the best generations) understood the evidence. Women who wear the niqab or hijab for the sake of Allah without taking pride in their beauty and displaying it, which is hypocrisy, will undoubtedly get a reward from their Lord (In Sha Allah). Those who have a disease in their hearts would reject the truth, which is a primary cause of arrogance, and Allah, without a doubt, does not GUIDE the arrogant person. So always be sincere with Allah about your feelings and intentions, ask for forgiveness if you've ever felt hypocrisy or arrogance in your heart, and always embrace the truth-even if it goes against who you are-and adjust your ways towards the right act. bukhari2013.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/niqab-8-2.pdf 🔥Don't Leave Without Reading This: The mission of this channel is to give you a warning to stay connected to the content that motivates you towards the only Deen (a set of beliefs and actions) acceptable in the sight of Allah, which is Islam.

I have been saying this for years actually. The importance in this verse is covering the breasts. That is overlooked. In those days head coverings were common and practical but many women had exposed breasts.

This is so powerful and well explained. As a newly revert, I often try to explain the purpose/reason if ask with clarity for who ask but with little understanding from the receiver. This explains it so well, where I am now able to explain in more detail. Thanks for sharing.

I’m not Muslim but thank you for the translation! I’m interested in all Religions in the World Peace and God Bless You!

That's why it's so important to understand the Qur'an as it was understood by the companions of prophet (pbuh). This was a great explaination by our brother, jazakallahu khair.

Bitter truth! When something looks burdensome in Deen people try to find excuses to avoid that and exactly the same could be said for the “Hijab” issue. Women who have no problem wearing one will never be found making it an issue in the first place.

One thing is written in quran "Allah has given the smallest examples to explain everything, some people get the good track while some people don't appreciate those and got mislead"

Some people just want to read their own meanings and understandings into the verses because it suits there agenda. This issue has already been dealt with and discussed by all the major scholars in the past and their is consensus on this issue. It is mujma 'alayh(agreed upon).

This shows how complex the Al-Quran in using Arabic language in its play of words and meaning, so much that it became the basis for the standard Arabic language grammar.

Holy Quran 17.7-- "If you do GOOD, you do GOOD for YOURSELVES; and if you do EVIL, [you do it] to YOURSELVES."

Assalamualaikum everyone who listen to this channel. May Allah guide us all to the right path and the right way. Thanks for sharing this info.

Just dress decently, not provocatively. It's not that hard, folks. Goes for both men and women. Plus, I don't think men get turned on by hair anyway but we've made it such a HUGE deal.

Nouman Ali khan is one of the beautiful souls of our time. How easy he explain this.

This is what we really need to tell and explain all the people in India right now...many have their own meaning of pardah

A very simple and beautiful explanation only one who knows Arabic can explain Thanks for the enlightenment jaza kalAllah

Even if we assume that "Khimar" was used in Arabia to cover the head and hair, this verse does not say that the khimar should be covering the head & hair. It says pull the khimar to cover the breasts (emphasis is on covering the breast, not head/hair). So if a woman has her khimar laying loosely on her shoulders with the hair fully exposed, as long as the khimar is covering her breasts, the demand of this Aya is fulfilled.

Holy Quran 2.269---He gives WISDOM to whom He wills, and whoever has been given WISDOM has certainly been given Much GOOD. And none will remember except those of understanding.

I am a Christian and I love Allah and Isa. Isa is visiting Muslims in dreams and in visions around the world!

If someone were to ask me: "Who are you to tell me..?"when it comes to matters of Islam I would reply "I'm not telling you. ALLAH is telling you. I'm just giving you the reminder."

When you drink khamar, it does not "cover" your physical outer head. It "covers" your judgement ("mind"). Remember that making judgement not only involves your head but also your heart. So to relate khimar with our outer head is quite "faulty". Just my 2 cents. Salam.

there's a simple rule, If you can't pray while wearing something, then it shouldn't be worn in the first place

Nouman Ali Khan is very knowledgeable! Mashallah 🙏

Jazakallah Khairun for the talk about the kimaar n I am absolutely Grateful to Almighty Allah for blessing me to be Alhumduhlillah n take care of myself after I have been in a Comma n Stroke n I didn't know anything. It had touched me drastically when I sat to Read from the Quran myself with my son sitting with me n seeing if I could read the Quran correctly without assistance n Shukrr Alhumduhlillah I really read it very slowly n from then I felt Blessed to be able to read from the Quran myself n I started using the scarf to cover my head to Please Almighty Allah always Ameen 🤲🤲🤲

Masha’Allah! THANK YOU so much for the great explanation.

It is like being told to wear a seatbelt. It does not instruct you to be seated. That is understood, the word itself contains the word seat for sitting. But people could still argue that it means one could wear it while standing in an airplane or a car. What is culturally understood cannot be translated by word alone.

Wow, im muslim and i just know the meaning of it. It is really well explained and no judgmention at all.

Khimar means covers, and the Qur'an is telling woman where to put them, over their chests. We then have 'scholars' say that it is a head covering, that the hair has to be covered, then the face, then one and then two eyes! If we stick to what Allah intended in His Book, then men and women must lower their gaze, be modest in their behaviour, and women should additionally cover up that area which can lead to immodesty, the chest. Hijab as a head/hair cover is therefore not an Islamic requirement and making it so is adding to the complete and fully detailed Word, Teachings of Allah which is bida, innovation. If you say there is no problem with women who do not want to wear an hijab then then this is a clear statement that the Qur'an has not mandated it; it makes compulsory many things for believers but not hijab, so do not innovate and do not make up head covers are to be kept on head and thrown over chests, this makes no sense. Hadith mentions the hijab and that is why some are reluctant or unable to get rid of it!

I love the way he explained the word Khemarr 🖤🖤

This is A MAJOR POINT. I remember a discussion that I heard about this in Ottawa, CANADA, now a good many years ago among Muslim women. The Indian women were "adamant" in saying WE DON'T DO THAT. :D That brought A SMILE to my face. (Ha! Ha!) Ken, Toronto, CANADA

He’s right. But Quran emphasizes on women covering their chest, not on women should never let people see their hair or their faces. As he said, at the time all Arabic people, men as women wear head scarf and there are practical and cultural reasons for that, so the point of the surah is not head coverings but body covering. I saw some Muslim ice skater wearing a hijab but wearing mini skirt showing their underwear, this is pure nonsense. I see no problem in women wearing hijab or whatever scarf on the head, but the problem is to make it a sharia law. These clothes are mid eastern traditional clothes and are perceive as it, so if every women of other country who wants to become Muslim have to wear it, it is perceive as a change of nationality by their compatriots because she’ll be wearing the traditional clothe of another country, it may prevent many women to even consider to convert because most don’t want to be perceived as turning back to their nation and their family. I know some countries where Islam is seen as a nationality not a religion. The goal of Islam is not to make all nations Arab, but to make all nations believer of Allah. If you can make all women on Earth believers of Allah without wearing hijab, or only 10% with hijab, what would you choose? To make Hijab obligatory is counterproductive for the spread of Islam. (But if you live a country where it’s the tradition or the law to wear a scarf , you should wear it to not disturb people.)

This is the reason why it is best to understand the original text, not just the translation. As a convert it was a relief to have translation for a every day read, but certain things are lost in translation which can cause a major impact on how the readers view muslims.

I get that the original khimar was over the head, and then they were told to let it hang on the front to cover the chest. Which is understandable since a woman's chest is very sexualized in nature. What I don't get is the overall rule that no hair should be shown at all. Because in the original khimar was just a veil over the head and many people used this, even the jews and in europe, it was worn over the head but it wasn't necesarry for it to cover ALL the hair. It was over the head but if some hair was shown is was ok. It was simply how women dressed at the time, and then Muhammad said "make sure to cover the chest" which is totally understandable from a modesty point of view. But the fixation on "no hair should be shown at all" I don't get, or covering the face/eyes, it seems extremist and even an exaggeration of the Quran.

This is the most beautiful , detailed and accurate explanation i have come across regarding covering of the head. May Allah reward him subhanAllah

The hijab or head covering actually started off as a Jewish head covering, later also adopted by Christianity and as people converted to Islam it was adopted by Muslims > so a hijab or head covering is not a requirement for Muslims but has been propagated as such by mullahs > women are free to wear the hijab or not as they wish but is NOT a requirement under Islam!🇵🇰

I never thought there are people out there who confused the meaning of Khimar & thought covering isn't necessary.. As a native speaker who found it obvious.. it opened my eyes and made me realize that Arabic is even more complicated than I was thinking and there are many people who don't receive it as easily as I do, that made me thankful yet feel sorry and responsible for helping others and explain to them.. may Allah help you all I know it's even more difficult for you because of the language or the country you live in! Allah will reward you (بإذن الله) 💛.

This Video can be used as an argument in the Karnataka Court proceedings where some are saying Hijab as a word is not present in Quran and 'Khimar' is mentioned which means just a covering or shawl so to speak. Its so important to learn the matters of religion from experts rather than just reading translations and interpreting it in our own way.

Beer is also not mentioned in Koran but it is Haram. Covering is mentioned and that is enough for me!

most of the people in the comment don't actually watched the video. the speaker already explained that the word Khimar already mean head covering. most Christians don't really follow the bible which include 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 which talk about head covering. if you believe in the Abrahamic religion I'm sure you know the message is always the same, so don't allow them to misguide Muslims.

"قل هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون" بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمْ

Holy Quran 4.36-Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to Parents do GOOD, and to RELATIVES, ORPHANS, the NEEDY, the Near Neighbor, the NEIGHBOR Farther away, the COMPANION at your Side, the TRAVELER, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.

pre-islam women and men of the area used to wear a head cover probably because of environmental factors such as sun and dust. however, women would also bare their chests or part of it. the ayah mentioned suggests they drape the khimar forward to cover their chest area. so if a woman asks if she should wear a khimar, it seems logical that according to this ayah, the answer should be: no, as long as you wear something that covers your chest.

Very interesting points! i see this in a LOT of religious texts worldwide. People translate to English so 1. lost in translation 2. lost in culture 3. lost in time. And as a result they can't know the real meaning.

Salaamunn Alaekum, Dear Noman Ali Khan brother... JazakALLAH ul Azeem BarakALLAHu Feeka brother... I am very pleased to hear every word you said... MaShaALLAH A great explanation.... AlHamduLILLAH AlHamduLILLAH AlHamduLILLAH.... Nice efforts put together... May ALLAH grant you The Ease in this world and the World hereafter... Aameen

I do not agree with your extension of meaning of the Ayah. The direct meaning of the verse is to cover the chest. That is the private sexual part of a woman. You are extending meaning to cover the head. Head was covered by Muslims and nonMuslims at that time. Extending the meaning of Quran beyond what is specifically stated is dangerous. So if Quran says cover your chest with the cloth used for head covering and that means head covering is included, then it also includes the type of head covering using the specific style and cloth and on and on. Head at that time was covered by men and women. The purpose was to escape the sun and sand. The purpose was not to maintain modesty. The head covering was due to the culture and the result if the environment.

Assalamu alaikum, I appreciate this very much as a non-Arabic speaker. I have heard the argument that the head doesn't need to be covered which never made sense to me and just sounded to me that people were just looking for a reason to not cover the head due to disliking it. I'm glad I now know the correct word and explanation of the verse. Insha Allah this video reaches our Ummah so we can have the correct information.

"Covering" have psychological meaning to" Cover the Attraction". To not become an attraction or to attract. Because for example if you are writing and your hair will distract you will be an attraction or distraction for your mind. About Hijab - when you are at an old age you can not use the hijab. Why? Because the attraction is dead 😄. In the Day of Judgement you will be no clothes! In the end of times they are covered but uncovered! Its the time of Pure Soul ! InshaAllah! Very Beautiful lecture! JazakaAllah hajr!

It's misleading to translate "khimar" as head-covering. Khimar refers to an outer garment that obscures the woman's shape. The word khamr in the Qur'an also refers to an intoxicant, ie. a substance that obscures the mind, NOT the head. Stop pushing your borrowed meanings from Arabic traditions or hadith stories falsely attributed to the Prophet.

Im still on my hijab journey ❤️

Beautifully explained... May Allah bless you, Sir...

Alhamdulillah I thank Allah subhan wa tala for giving us islam as a religion, his book the Quran, sunnah and actions of prophets written in hadith, sheiks who are like stars written in hadith, quran is written in brief, not everything is compiled in one book, to get more detailed information the prophets were sent and alhamdulillah through wahi they conveyed the message to people.

The issue here is that people are trying to interpret the Qur'an which was sent to the prophet in the 7th century. Language is fluid the meaning of words change over the ages. So one cannot definitively say this is what this word meant. If we look at Islam we have 5 pillars of belief. Shahadah Prayer Ramadan Charity Hajj But all these scholars seem to spend most of their time debating about how women should cover their hair. Cover thy bosom is what I have read in English translations as I'm not a native Arabic speaker. The Muslim Ummah is under attack in every sphere of our lives, why are not real social issues addressed such as grooming gangs, Muslim men who have illegitimate children with non Muslim women, alcohol abuse in the community etc, etc. Is it because the vast majority of the perpetrators in these crimes are men that they are not discussed? All the above mentioned acts are haram in Islam. But people just want to talk about how women should cover their hair as if this was the most important part about being a Muslim.

But who is this guy. He never read the passage he just gave his interpretation.

It's really fascinating how we're arguing about this from ages, like are we smarter than people back, just let's say, in the last century?! The problem is these days there's so much temptation around us, so it becomes really hard for girls to wear veils and hijabs, on a world where the image of beauty in women is so standardized and manipulated..., so we're like looking everywhere, for something so evident, that didn't use to be a subject of argument.. Let us all be clear and honest, if you're not willing to wear the hijab, you just have to make your mind, don't start searching in the Quran or elsewhere, we're in the 21th century, everything is so clear for those with pure hearts and intentions. Oh, Allah, from you we seek hidaya, amen!

Just so we are clear, ‘hijab’ was mentioned in the Quran. I don’t know where y’all be getting your ‘facts’ from. Two forms of the word was used in the Quran 8 times; hijab 7 times, and mahjubun once. And as Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan said above, it means screen, a fence and the likes. It was mandated for the prophet’s wives as seen in Q33 V53, so that the companions could not even see their figure, they’d have to speak to them with a curtain, or some sort of barrier between them and the wives of the prophet pbuh. The ones that apply to the muslim women is the jalabeeb as seen in Q33 V59, and jalabeeb is a dress; and Khumur as seen in Q24 V31 which is the head covering that mustn’t be see through, and was mandated to be ‘brought down’ over the cleavage area, and beyond. Another word that was used to refer to veil in the Quran is the Thiyab as seen in Q24 V58 and 60, which is one’s ‘house cloth’, and basically how one ought to dress in the house. Where the confusion lies is that a lot of people, scholars included, fail to make these distinctions, they just interpret them as the head veil even though they might not be referring to them. And the use of the ‘hijab’ to refer to the ‘khumur’ is how some critics have come to think that the ‘Niqab’ is expected to apply when a woman gets married - (‘Niqab’ is not the right word either). The Hijab was expected to apply to the wives of the prophet pbuh, just as the injunction not to marry the wives of the prophet after him applies to only the wives of the prophet pbuh as seen in the same V53 of Q33 that mandates the hijab on them. Anyway, I’m working on an exegesis on the veil in the Quran, when I’m done writing it, I will InshaAllah post it as a reply to this comment, for a deeper dive into these words, and their Classical Arabic nuances that translators gloss over for ease of communication. All that written, ease yourself into it, let your faith guide you, not pressure; you can get over pressure, but faith will always keep you grounded. Salam.

Khimar was worn by men and women and Christian women even covered their heads. It was a sign of being respectful in front of people or in public. It was not meant to be exclusive just for Muslim women. Even nuns covered their heads. Jewish women covered their heads. This is not something that was considered a sin if a women chose not to wear it. It is thousands of years later and people are still debating this

Been saying this!!! Fellow muslims put too much emphasis on the headscarf alone. The Holy Qur’an doesn’t specifically encourage covering the hair - just the adornments (like the breasts, vagina, ect.) The whole ‘cover your hair!’ thing is relatively new

Alx for me to be a Muslim girl I believe that I have to wear hijab that covers from head to knees alx and If I don't wear hijab but khimar it feels like am naked . Alhamdullilah. Proud to be Muslim hijabi

I have a question about head coverings. I am listening to the Qur’an on CD in my car whenever i an driving. I cant remember which Sarah its in, but I believe its between the 20th and 30th surahs. It mentions if a woman is single and beyond child baring years, she does not need to cover her head, but its better if she does. Did I under that correctly, or did I miss something? I am not trying to find away out of wearing hijab. I actually feel naked without it.

The word hijab may not be in Quran but Allah says for women whenever you go out cover yourself and entire body with a sheet or cloth

I literally watched a video of someone using same word to disprove of hijab on RU-vid and searching fir correct answers. Thanks brother for explanation. Allah may be pleased with u and with me on the day of of judgment and this life.

I don't like the fact that women have to cover their entire body now because men have sinful thoughts.. like it is the woman's fault. This man does a beautiful job explaining the Hijab. I have been watching the Magnificent Century and the women wear veils. Women should be modest but there are so many that don't want to be and that should be okay too. I heard the English version of the Quran is watered down.... (I was thinking about getting one to learn more) that the English says to chastise women and in the other one beat the woman. I have no respect for men that beats a woman at all. anyways........ thank you for this video I liked it a lot

I recently encounter a post, saying Sura Nur has ayah that says women should wear borkah (something that covers the whole body from head to toe) and hijab. So I tried to study from different translation and explanation. And I understood the ayah is about hijab/khimar, about covering head and have cloth over chest. And of course a modest attire that doesn't show off the shape of the body (so the dress could be anything, not specifically a borkah). Is my understanding right?

Subhanallah ❣ Jazak Allahu Khayran barak ala feeq for this explanation. I cannot Express to you how grateful I am for the knowledge you've acquired thru your love for Allah to be able to explain to us in such a beautiful way the beauty of covering

Please tell some ayat for inner peace.

“It literally means COVER” 3:28 A cover is just any cover, still that doubt remains that it could mean any COVER - a shawl, neck scarf, etc… And explanations using Khammar/alcohol: “It messes with your mind” 3:33 It actually covers the ability I’m still trying to understand your point - why do you have to say HEAD when it literally means COVER and it is actually affecting your mind and ability.?

Understand that conversational arabic has a multitude of dialects and a word can have multiple meanings, depending in which context it is used. If you are Arab or have been around enough Arabs, from different countries across the Middle East, you would know that. Khimar in classical definition is a covering (not necessarily for the head) and it is 'advised' in the Quran to cover ones bosom, something majority of women do irrespective of religion, for obvious reasons. It doesn't say that it is 'fardh' (ie compulsory) nor does it say that it is 'haram' not to do so (that is if you interpret as a head covering). Differentiate between verses that are CLEARLY stating what is halal and harm, and those that are advisory in nature. Too many scholars try to propagate advisory verses as absolute haram if not followed. This is wrong and has lead to so many problems in society. That being said, cover your head if you want, interpret the verse as you want.. but please do not preach your interpretation as the word of God and allow Him to judge, as forcing or demonising women for not accepting and living by your interpretation is a far greater sin than what you perceive they are committing by not wearing a 'hijab' or 'khimar' as you see it. Let people live according to their God given Free Will. Worry about your own sins and how you might fare when you stand alone before God on the Day of Judgement and possibly be held accountable for your judgement of others. On that day, your comparative analysis will not help you.

Read verse#33 from surah Al-Ahzab, it talks about covering your head, arm, chest and everything that is needed. So basically those who argue about Quran not mentioning how to dress and what to cover should read this verse. Also many muslim woman wear head covering but only half or portion of the head, some also wear hijab with earrings and not covering their chest. All those minor details are covered in this verse. Hope this helps!!

You have great intellect. Anyone disagreeing is just going too far with terminology.

So that is the proof of obligation for covering the chest. Or better: The goal of wearing khimar seems to be that the chest is covered not the head (,,To cover your chest"). Nowadays covering the chest is easy without wearing headscarf. Back then it might have been harder. Where is the proof that wearing khimar is an obligation to cover the head itself? Hope someone can help.

Most fashion designers are men that explains why women dress the way they dress. The hijab and modesty is thr most beautiful gift given to women.

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. ..so it's clear women should do veil..

Men really go far to find controlling reasons to suppress women. Men should cover their head, chest and lower down there. Don't concern yourself with women dressing. I see men walking around in shorts and tshirts oh not to forget tight jeans. This nouman wears western attire and lectures on women's dressing.

Khimaar is mentioned and instead of just covering head ladies should cover their body shape all over.

I’m really one of those confused people, so i wonder… if arabs had already been wearing khimar for decades, then why would the aya mean that allah demanded muslims to wear it when they were already wearing it? Doesn’t that mean that the aya was demanding them to cover their fronts like an adjustment to how they used khimar instead of interpreting the aya as a demand to cover their heads which were already covered?

I think the way this was explained was very articulate and well thought out. I see from a linguistic POV what the gentleman means. Old Arabic/most older languages tend to be very high context languages. One word has 10 meanings thus context is important. (In contrast to something like German which is a very low context language meaning there is one word with only one or two meanings.) The disconnect that is still stopping me from accepting this gentleman’s analysis as absolute truth is the historical evidence that the modesty practiced today by many Muslim women did not come from Islam itself, but rather was inspired by the veils Catholic and orthodox women wear when they enter the church, the Nun’s Habit, as well as the Jewish practice of covering once a woman is married. These religious practices became more fashion than religious after a bit. If that could be put into context of the linguistic analysis I heard today, would love to hear this gentleman’s insight. As I think he should be a lawyer hahaha

If we study Quran just like we 'study' science or maths or computers, I am sure a lot of , A LOT of misconceptions will be gone!

Nooman is the one of the greatest scholar of Arabic out side Arabs who make us uderstand how outsiders feel the in-depth meaning of complex Arabic.. ma sha Allah

It seems to me upon re-watching this video is that a head covering is more of an Arab thing (tradition) than a religious thing. The men used to wear it too those days even before Islam came which they don’t do anymore in the western countries. Why are women expected to wear it then especially if it attracts attention which really kills the purpose of this rule?

I have great respect for Nouman Ali Khan, he is an exceptional scholar of Islam. However, I do not agree with this methodology in this instance in response to this woman's idea. Firstly. The Arabic language is so deep with meaning and the langue shows that for itself. Yes Khimar, is layered with meanings, which shows the cultural impact of the word Khimar, even the respective scholar describes these different contexts(e.g the horse/men/etc). This just shows how one word can mean so many things. Making something compulsory based on one meaning of the one word; not the full text, is not substantial enough to interpret it as a direct order from Allah. If we apply this methodology to every word in the Arabic language we will be making rules up left right and Centre. Clearly, the revelation came down to correcting some parts of their cultural dress. I am assuming women used to expose their chest and maybe their cleavage, based on the verse. if we look at the climate in Arabia (the hot dessert), women might have been exposing their chests as a result. When the weather is hot everyone has a natural inclination to wear thin, loose clothes to be more comfortable in the heat. So just try to imagine what the pre-Islamic Arabian fashion must have been like. When it is hot, we are not going to wear polar neck jumpers because that would be stupid, right? So understanding what Arabian people were already wearing based on the climate is crucial to the subject of this Ayah. In the Ayah with the Khimar, 'the adornments' is something that adds attractiveness, a reference to make-up, beautifying oneself, or adornment to an extent that can become a cause of attraction. Hair is not something that adds attractiveness as it is inherently there... The verse is telling women to not display their adornments/beauty... except adornments/beauty that are naturally apparent, e.g. beautiful face, eyes, hair etc. Then it tells women to cover their breasts/chests. It mentions this after the verse about what normally appears to signify that breasts do not fall into the category of what normally appears. Although the verse tells women to draw their head-coverings over their breasts, that doesn’t mean that women must cover their heads or hair. Nowhere does this verse mention the word "hair". If Allah really wanted women to cover their hair, He could have simply said "and let them draw their head-covering over their hair/bosoms/chests, but He didn't. When a man sees a woman's breasts, actually science now tells us a part of his brain activates the arousal part of his brain. Since when does a man get aroused over hair? Any man or scientist will tell you... they don't. It must have been very common for women to expose their chests in the hot desert as it was for them to cover their heads. And so it was a common cultural practice and practical one. And so Allah - (All-Knowing)has a simple, effective solution that would not trouble the women in the heat. In the Ayah, Allah gracefully gives them a simple solution, take what you already have on your heads(Khimar), and cover your chest with it. simple. It is not about women covering their hair. If a woman decided to cover up her chest by other means based on different cultural styles. would this be a problem? No of course not. And so if a Khimar was not part of a cultural custom, would this also be a problem?? Khimar has no religious significance, if it did, we would be calling the so-called "hijaab" or "burqa"... Khimar. We would be using this as the original word in the Qur'an if it was a clear cut order. Throughout time we would have adopted this word, instead of "burqa" "hijaab" etc. We would have a strict code for labelling this headscarf based on the Qur'an. Why is there no such wording? Because it was never instructed in the first place. The verse also makes exceptions for that which "normally/necessary" appears, which are the face/hair/hands/ankles/feet etc. It is likely women and men would wear the khimar loosely (it was the dessert) and their hair must have shown even with it on because it was loosely worn, or women would tie it around their ponytails ect(there were many styles). So some parts of the hair might have been shown through these styles, in the front or back. Allah does not direct women to keep the Khimars on nor does He emphasize on those who possibly did not wear one(if they didn't).. Allah knows. Throughout the Quran, compulsory rulings are very clear. Why has not mentioned anything about it? The only answer is, Allah has not placed any commandments on this or else our All Mighty Allah would have stated it as He does with all other Laws! May Allah guide us all in seeking knowledge. Peace and blessing SURAH AN-NUR AYAT 31 (24:31 QURAN) "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women."

It’s important to understand that we look at the sahabi n early scholars how they understand what the prophet Muhammad sws said about a topic

No where mentioned cover your head..it's open to interpretation...so no strict command so means no rule ..there should have been strict command that cover your hair...

In bible and Torah it is explicitly mentioned that women must cover their "hair". Quran doesn't have such verse. Hair or head is never mentioned. You said in the quran they should take their khimar and throw it in front of them. It does not says "keep the khimar" or "use that headcover ", that's "your" interpretation, your addition. It gives a description of how to use a piece of cultural garment, as you mentioned which is used by Arabic men also!! Only for them do not need to cover their chest but women does. The organ that is explicitly mentioned is chest/breast. Maybe you should focus on that. Maybe you are one of the people who would like that to mean something that doesn't actually mean!! Moreover the ablution before each prayer is focusing on the parts that are exposed to outside. Hands, face, feet (think about sandalet, we are in arabia so no boots ;) ), neck and head (hair). Those rules are not different from men to women, so the parts that are exposed to outside suppose to be same. If you cover your hair be my guest but I believe god knows how to say "cover your hair".

This guy, Yasir Qadi and people like him who learnt Islam through Wikipedia are leading common folks astray. I don't think these people understand Arabic so they don't know what is in the Quran. Next they are going to say being gay is ok. If you want to know. This is what Allah said to Muslim women: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Well, men and women both wore such head covers in Arab deserts. It makes sense to cover your head unless you want sand in your hair and also to avoid heat stroke. It’s not needed in today’s times in places other than deserts. I guess time for Ijtihad is now. That’s why Islam has allowed it, to keep Islam relevant for all times and not let it be obsolete.

Ayat 59 ..surah Ahzab..recite karen tarjumey ke saath.. Jilbab kis tarha head par se laitae Hain chest takk..tu chehra beech Mae Aya ke NAHIN

Ultimately the Quran asks for everyone to read and interpret it for themselves. It explicitly says this, so if someone wants to interpret it as cover your head they can and if someone wants to interpret it as just the body then they can.

HIJAB IS NOT A PRESCRIBED REQUIREMENT IN ISLAM...... BUT MODESTY IS

: وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ [النور:31]

To interpret any things from Quran see how prophet and his companion understand this. Don't take the meaning yourself.

I wrote a whole response to this video that seems to have disappeared from the comment page?? Please let me know what I should do at this point?

Some people don't know What God is or does. God never discriminates. God's every Word is always logical. Do men also have to cover their heads? If yes, then what is the reason for it?

Very well explained, thanks.

They were already using khemar but the point of the ayyah seems to be covering the chest not hair.

Jazakallah for explaining the kimaar. May Allah always bless u n ur family. You are truly so blessed with knowledge of our Deen, alhamdulillah.

I am from Bangladesh. In our childhood days our mothers always covered their heads with their sarees never wore Burka. This covering of heads with Saree was also done by Hindu ladies.None of the Muslims n Hindus ladies left house without covering heads. Likewise in the West in past as we have seen in different movies n read in books the ladies always appeared in long dress n covered their heads. I believe that was universal dress code for ladies regardless of geographical boundary n religion. By the way Hijab was non existent in any Muslim countries before Khominis revolution in Iran means 1980.I have seen Muslim women of Iran, Egypt ,Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco , Turkey wearing western dress as well as Bikinis. Many of these ladies used to drink alcohol . I find it very confusing that those who were 1/2 naked few decades back now wearing Hijab? In this regard our Saree is much better more Islamic . Bangladeshi women always covered their legs n never exposed them. we never switched to dress to expose .

😊Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head by Asma Bint Shameem Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It’s a way of life. Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don’t realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head. Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…..the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life. Allaah says: “And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you believers, in order that you are successful.” (Surat-un-Nur: 31). Here are some of the more common issues in light of this verse about the Hijaab. Well, my head is covered. What more do you want? If you look carefully at the ayah, it clearly states that the head covers (khumur) should be drawn over the neck slits (juyoob). Khumur is the plural of the Arabic word “khimar” which means a headcover. Juyoob is the plural of the Arabic word “jaiyb”, which refers to the neck slit (of the dress). Yet, some sisters just cover their head with something, and think they are fulfilling the rights of Hijaab, although part of their hair or body is showing, or their whole neck and chest area are exposed. Actually, that was the way of the women of Jahilliyah. Al-Qurtubi said: “Women in those days used to cover their heads with the khimar, throwing its ends upon their backs. This left the neck and the upper part of the chest bare, along with the ears. Then Allah commanded them to cover those parts with the khimar.” So secure the scarf well around your face, covering your neck/chest area, and keep those half sleeves and capri pants for your Mahrams Sorry.…tight jeans and short shirt just don’t cut it You can’t wear tight jeans and a short shirt with a piece of cloth on your head and think this is Hijaab. Nor can you wear anything else that is tight, describing the shape of the body in any way, even if it is long. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it.” (Muslim) If it is see-through, its NOT Hijaab You CANNOT use chiffon or other see through material to cover your hair and body. Everything should be covered and the color of the skin underneath should not be visible. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a thick garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife. The Prophet then said to Osamah “ask her to use a “gholalah” under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones.” (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) (The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body). The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention The dress should not be such that it attracts men’s attention to the woman’s beauty. Allaah clearly states “not to display their beauty (zeenah).” Yet, Subhaan Allaah, some Hijaabi sisters are dressed in such a way that they attract more attention to themselves than they would if they didn’t wear Hijaab!! How could such zeenah be concealed if the dress is designed in a way that it attracts men’s eyes to the woman? It beats the purpose of Hijaab. Allaah tells us: “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32] What about make-up and perfume??? Wearing make up is also part of the zeenah that Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright red lipstick or dark eyeliner such that people confuse between you and a raccoon….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab. And keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.” (al-Nasaa’i, Tirmidhi: hasan by Albaani) Tinkling Jewelry and Jingling bracelets ‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse…“not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments.” No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right, even if he is ‘the Shaikh’. Allaah says:”. . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.” [al-Ahzaab:32] So talk to them when there is a specific need, and in a manner that is not necessarily rude, yet it is polite but firm. Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. Why? Because a single ‘look’ can say more than a thousand words. So, even if you are properly covered, keep those eyes down, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’. ‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. There are too many stories of illegal relationships, fornications, broken homes, extra-marital affairs and runaway brides to even mention. That is why in Islam anything that leads to haraam is also haraam. Allaah says: “Do not (even) come close to fornication, for it is an indecency, and its way is evil.” (Surah Israa:32) Be careful, even in the way you walk Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and hayaa and you will be respected. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…..” (Muslim). Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. Its part of Hijaab It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” (at-Tabaraani saheeh by al-Albaani). And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding. Stay away from the men’s areas I see many sisters entering the Masjid from the men’s entrance, or standing idle in the hallways or where there is a chance of unnecessary mixing with the brothers. What for? Don’t we have a separate entrance for ourselves? Why do you think Allaah ordained the Hijaab in the first place? To avoid fitnah, by reducing temptation and separating the genders. “The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said to the women on his way out of the mosque when he saw men and women mixing together on their way home: ‘Give way (i.e., walk to the sides) as it is not appropriate for you to walk in the middle the road.’ Thereafter, women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would get caught on it.” (Abu Dawood) Hijaab is also to conceal your sister Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.” (Muslim) May Allah guide us and bless us with the TRUE understanding of His Deen. Ameen. 👍

The 'GOLDEN RULE', the dictionary of the Noble Quran are the Hadidth Mubarak, period. Being an arab with a PhD in Arabic can never translate the interpretation and meanings of the Quranic Verses . Thought learning Arabic is mandatory to be a humble student of Islam.
