Islamic Ruling on Covering Face (Hijab) Dr Zakir Naik Mufti Menk Nouman Ali Khan Aasim al Hakeem 

Agreed. Niqab is not compulsory.

@Lilac Henry do you not see the e?

@Lilac Henry people like you who enjoy to have a moral high ground about every single aspect of life aren't the type to actually educate someone about religious rules or values. You are talking about women wearing tight dresses, not a single person in this comment section was talking about wearing tight dresses. We were only talking about niqab. And did you not watch the whole video, where even scholars are giving different opinions about niqab, then why are you so agitated over my comment? Also , you say Islam is not so easy, you are quite wrong in this case. Because Allah himself said in Quran that he intends to make life easy for humans, so if you think your opinion is what everyone should care about, you came to the wrong place. Your anger and agitation will not be entertained here so if you want to be angry and agitated pointlessly, go somewhere else . And before that, learn some mannerisms because your way to approach for communication is condescending, Islam detests this kind of attitude too. Also write proper English, or write in your own mother tongue so that RU-vid can translate it. Whatever you wrote is incomprehensible.

​@Lilac Henry you act as if you know a lot but really, you are just ranting. Covering the hair is compulsory,covering the face is sunnah. As simple as that

Don't have to completely ditch the Niqab for verification or identification. There are exceptions where there is need, but it's still best to wear the Niqab.

Masha’Allah, may the hijab be a beautiful step to get closer to Allah ❤

Mashaallah Mashaallah

What does it mean...do u cover ur face or not

@@FirdousAsad-jc6kc no… I watched the Zakir Naik’s argument over niqab and found it absolutely sensible. So I don’t wear niqab. I only wear jilbab without the niqab.

@@BESTOFTHEW0RLD Almost all scholars agree on this matter that women should cover face too(unless they have serious problem then they can use Khimar only, like in Sweden it isnt allowed to cover face). So when you look at it, it really makes more sense in the ayah mentioned in Surah Ahzab means. It clealry states to cover yourself in a way that you will not be recognized. So by you will not be recognized ALLAH literally means that Muslim women should cover themselves completely, FACE as well, no beating around the bush. No one can deny this and if anyone does deny it or mistranslate it or try to find a loophole around it then May ALLAH give him\her hidayah aameen sum aameen. MayALLAH guide us and keep us on the right path aameen sum aameem

But the sahih bukhari vol 7, hadith 5652 which he mentioned is actually a special case

People really take what they want and understand what they want bc this suits u or them , we don't know Quran like a pro so it s easy to manipulate. Covering head chest and wearing respectable clothing for women and men , Norman khan is very good too. Allahu wahlem. 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. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.

Norman dress in western attire and tells women how to dress

@@ZarinaSBibi Those Western clothes are no longer specially made for the kafir, so Muslims (Men) can wear those kinds of clothing. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3512; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2691. So just because the West invented planes and cars does that mean we should not use them? Of course not. Those technologies are no longer limited or held praise in Western culture. So wearing this kind of suit is permissible to my knowledge. The Hijab (PROPER HIJAB NOT A SCARF AROUND YOUR HEAD) is a requirement ordained by Allah for all Muslim women. He is not telling how women should dress, actually quite the opposite. The Lord of all Worlds is telling how women should dress. So obey Allah. Lest you will be amongst the sinners.

No , wearing niquab is not part of Islam , it’s a cultural thing

may Allah reward u for ur efforts 🤲

Mashaa Allah.. so happy to hear this.. May Allah give you istiqamah..

@@Cousinbiddy1 which culture?

@@whatsnineplusten Arab culture

Yes and sadly no. Many women in niqab are hiding. I have met very corrupt women in niqab. Especially in the US.

Whatever but MEn are not at all following lowering gaze thing. They are always drooling over nude women online

Which ones? those living in war countries? married ones ?what sacrifices? Ur Deen is a way of life not a sacrifice, Nikab hijab jilbeb unfortunately this doesn't stop some women from temptations and fornications when u start praying it s putting u to test , a women who wears it and women who doesn't wear anything are not above one another stop making things bc this way of thinking is going ridiculous. There's so many stories in islam but still people needs to point others. Lot of women wears it bc they are married

There are no fruits for man made inventions, only hijab was ordered, not niqab

I personally think "the fruits of niqab" is being over stated by a niqaabi. Self sacrifice when you dont need to is similar to the situation described in the Quran about Christian monasticism when Allah (swt) said in 57:27 "... and monasticism which they innovated. We did not prescribe it for them (they did so) seeking the approval of Allah... ". Niqaabis are similar Allah (swt) did not prescribe it for women yet they are innovating it to please Allah(swt). As there is no justification for wearing a niqaab in quran and sunnah niqaabis try it dress it up with words like sacrifice, discipline, focus etc. My advice strive hard in those things Allah (swt) has prescribed and don't make it hard for yourself by sacrificing and striving in those things Allah (swt) did not prescribe.

@@servant_serv-ant4163 it is not about forcing muslim women to wear hijab ...the verse is about forcing on non muslims....with force you can't make others believe Islam or any concept ...

@Servant_Serv-Ant "There is no compulsion in religion" - stupid ignorant people say this and they don't know its context. "There is no compulsion in religion" - this is referring to joining Islam. entering the religion as a non Muslim. There are lots of compulsory acts in Islam. like the salah. if you don't pray you will be labelled as a kafir and be thrown into hell

@Servant_Serv-Ant forcing children to pray is part of Islam. the prophet told us to instruct our children to pray when they are 7 years of age and beat them when they are 10.

well with all the respects sister you're right we all have to do our individual parts of duties but i've to add a lil thing here incase you don't know....Allah also gave us the responsibility to maintain our women (mother,sister,wife) properly otherwise we'll be accountable for that too so you can't just say it's only matter of yours with due respect! and i'm repeating again it's not controlling it's responsibility ... Assalamu Alaikum stay blessed InshaAllah

@@noface6903 Allah will only hold you accountable if you never have issues with certain women in your family disobeying Allah and his rasul, rather you may encourage it even. But if you have warned her of the consequences of akhirah and the judgement of Allah and discourage her deeds, that is enough. you have done your responsibility there. but if you force her when Allah has given her the freedom to decide what she wants after all the knowledge about the consequences her choices may bring her, then you will only displease Allah. afterall, it is upto the women to decide what she wants for herself and you are nobody to impose religion on her. believe me, if you try imposing, it will do you bad in akhirah and will only cause the women to lose faith in Allah and discourage her to continue being a part of a religion which men try to force on them. dont project your opinions on the actual fatwa. bc it IS a matter of the woman solely to decide for herself and you are encouraged to only urge her to come back to the right path, not force her to the right path bc you believe otherwise you wont be granted a place in Jannah

@@noface6903okay I get that it's just these days the tone at which they address the issue is actually pushing our sisters away u know on top of that they don't do their part but yes ur right of course advising them well us is good if done properly

Fr. Whats this bullshit about having to hide your face now? Women are supposed to cover the head, shoulders to wrists, neck to ankles and a part of their hijab be covering their chest. Nabi Sallallahu allayhi wa sallam never said cover your face. These modern scholars will have us women living in holes and caves to prevent men looking at us in no time. Idiots.

​@@inshaalhareem2906you are not given the blessing of having those eyes to look at and stare at women,not to mention how uncomfortable you make the women folks feel. you are also told to lower your gaze just like women are told to cover themselves.

What is this? Whether or not men can control their desires or not is irrelevant. Each has its own responsibility. Men should lower their gaze, regardless of the women wearing the corect hijab or not. Women should wear the correct hijab regardless of men lowering their gaze or not. Don't use pathetic excuses

@@forlonforrester6039 what excuse? I said men are responsible for their own actions. You don't like that?

@hopeali the way you potray men that have attacked etc etc. I could say the same thing about women who commit bad things as well. Dont generalise and dont make it seem that men generally are the reason for women to have to cover up. And i never disagree with each gender having their own responsibility. It's that we do it not bcs particular men or women do bad things, we do it for the sake of Allah. Don't make bad men the reason we do our responsibility to Allah. Don't generalize

the covering is not just for the protection from men rather it is for women to control their urge of getting all attention and appreciation from opposite gender as in the Quran .Allah told women to lower their gazed and to not display their beauty as the challenge for women and men is different.

actually it was made clear aand agreed upon that both parties are responsible and will be accountable in front of Allah on the day of judgment. the male for not lowering their gaze and controlling their urge and the female for trying to attract the attention of men by any of the many ways that they can utilize to do so. no matter how settle, sneaky or indirect it is. A verse in the quran mentioned that women should not slam their feet on the ground so that what they wore under becomes known. And the prophet Peace be upon him said in saheeh hadith that a women that put on a perfume on front of men is a Zaniah. So yeah both parties are accountable. and while nothing will 100% guarantee your safety except the protection of Allah after we follow his instructions. not doing so will increase the risk. side note: I am not talking about the matter of covering the face that's a matter of great dispute between much more knowledgeable Muslim scholars. I am more concerned about the accountability statement you made.

SubanAllah, so true, i live also in a nonmuslim country, i know a lot modern hijabis they get hate, but Alhamdullilah, I dont, everything went more beautiful in my life since I started wearing Niqab, i love it sooo mucht, I don`t want to be a day without anymore, Allah is the best protector, Allahu Akbar, la illaha illa Allah

When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”

Yes that's exactly what I was thinking! If you want to be modest then as a Muslim women one should try to portray they characteristics and traits of both prophet muhabbed peace be upon him and his woves according to the given situation. Since the covering of face is something which couldn't be portrayed in prophet's sunnah (PBUH), on should follow the sunnah of his wives. Also if you look at the traditional way of closing during the prophet's (pbuh) time, we come across a black abaya with a khimar on top that was thrown forward, covering everything from head to chest. So that's historical evidence as well.

In shaa Allah**

Jo

Sorry in error

How u gonna explain that to the kafirs?

prevention in Islam is better, if a woman can refrain from showing off her beauty for the sake of Allah, then it can prevent the man from looking at her beauty and prevent any sexual thought coming into the head of a man. because it is hard to guard against the evil thought and the waswas of shaitan when seeing a beautiful woman for a man, there are many pretty religious man in history who fall for the fitna of woman, even the Prophet PBUH said that “I have not left a trial after me more harmful to men than women.” so its best for women to cover her face as it is also a source of beauty.

​@@winterain7087sadly not all women will cover themselves and wear niqab and burqa. You go to a non Muslim country and there's a whole different picture. What do you do then? Let your evil thoughts or shaytan get to you? Better to prevent yourself doing a sin which is looking at the women folks and not expect others to make it easier for you because not everyone will do it for you.

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The riders used to pass us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in ihram. When they drew close to us, one of us would let down her jilbaab from her head over her face, and when they had passed us we would uncover it again. Narrated by Ahmad, 23501; Abu Dawood, 1833; classed as hasan by al-Albaani.

Totally agree.

Absolutely agree and I feel your rage but this is not subject here ! This video is here to answer women question about veiling, even in the safest neighborhood and around respectful men

Dear sister pls look up the punishment for rape in Islam. To give you peace of mind let me tell you this. The verse of lowering the faze for men came first and then came the verse of women covering up. No one is exempted.

@@Dobbyisfree000 yeah man totally true it is Both vice and versa should be taken into consideration and not just on particular gender. My opinion

This is why I think Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.

brother don't open the door for the shaitan to whisper in your head. One can question many things, for example...in a hadith Rasulallah ﷺ said purification is half of the religion, then on the other hand we are asked to purify ourselves by dirt if water is not available. You see this is our logic and our deen doesn't work according to people's logic as logic is subjective. The hadith is- Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (sahih muslim 223)

Really? So in Mecca they are not obliged to cover their faces?

Because its allowed by Allah to do it at Hajj but not in normal life.

Its obligatory in hajj also.. Only one has to protect cloth touching ur face. It can be done with cap.. I started covering my face in hajj.. Because i got to know its compulsory in hajj also. Hajj is not farz n hijab is farz. So anything without farz(hijab) Cant be performed good (hajj)

so for the lowering of gaze and staying away from any innocent act that could them to zina should be avoided in sha Allah.. May Allah open our hearts for the knowledge of deen ameen

Maybe because that’s what you wanted to hear.

Well if you really love Allah(swt) you will follow him, do halal and avoid haram, that is very clear, you know already the purpose of hijab but we keep on searching for answers which will be agreed as accdg. to our wants

I don't agree with Zakir naik...Women are instructed to hide their beauty...and face is the first yardstick to measure beauty...simple and straight no Going otherway...in Haj Women identity is important to spot her in a crowd of thousands...how do u expect a man to spot her mahram with viel on her face...Allah's religion is scientific and rational...hope by now Zakir Saab must have reviewed his analysis...pardah uska hota hay jis say identity face say Pata Lagti hay...Absolute and clear

A man has his own hijab as well. It’s not only because of their gaze.hijab means modesty in general . It’s the way we carry ourselves and the way we live and dress. It redefines beauty on its own, making others focus on your character and your inner beauty ,rather than your outer beauty. People take us more seriously and show us more respect,when being modest.it’s like a protection from Allah. It keeps you from men with bad intentions and from other things like zina,etc… Although it is an obligation, Allah gave us a mind of our own so that it is still your choice not to wear it. But remember that disobedience will be punished by Allah one day if you choose not to make tawbah before returning to him.

no. in many parts of the quran where allah orders us something to do that we MUST follow, he addresses us with "tell the believing women" or "tell the believing people" or "people of faith will.." if you read the full surah you can tell starting from 33:50 that allah tells exclusive gifts only for the prophet and not for the rest of the believers. he's telling a story at this point, no orders, no demanding, nothing of what you thought it is. also, the word unveiled is not clear enough whether it means taking off the hijab or having your face uncovered.

Just start simple just wear a normal long coat you hair will be coverd and it's easy. At least that way u trying

I wear a long coat that has a hat on it still dose the same thing as nikab u hair is coverd you face is coverd from the sides and it's easy to take hat and put on again without feeling uncomfortable at least that way you trying🤗💜

@bleh boop my point is, if niqab or hijab was mandatory to women then there would be no different for muslim women whether she was a slave woman or free woman. but actually, we hear different story that slave women should not wear the same clothes with free women.

All Muslim women at the time of Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ والہ وسلم wore a hijab and a niqib . They covered themselves with a jilbab ( which is basically a really big shawl) . They were covered from head to toe . They slave women did not wore the hijab because they were not muslim . This hukam was implemented to differentiate the Free Muslim women from the slaves. Muslim women were not slaves .

@@khudaija3916 do you know how illogical of your comment is? Well,.. according to Quran 24:31, it is clear from the ayah that they (the women) who already wear niqab or hijab or headcover or veils to cover their chest or bosoms. So the ayah is not talking about someone who doesn't wear hijab then they were told to wear hijab. Secondly, regarding the a slave muslim woman who wore niqab, are you joking? they were slave, right? and did they have money or belonging or property to buy clothes to cover their whole body? Furthermore, if they were slave, they can be sold to or bought from their masters. Then, how people would bought them if they cover their body? obviously, they should not cover their whole body in order to see their physical body (before people would like to buy slave).

@@gondala actually in Islam slaves were treated a lot better that's why, and the owner of course respected the slave and all, also marrying your slave was highly recommended so someone could provide for her and keep piece in her life.

@@gondala well ya thats what i said Muslim women could not be slaves. Do you know how illogical YOUR answer is. Women became slaves when they were captured as a result of wars . At the time of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ والہ وسلم there were wars against non muslims . So HOW exactly could muslim women be slaves!!!!! And even when non muslim slaves became muslim , the sahabas were so happy at their conversion that they would free them . ....

But it’s always mostly man harassing us so

I also thought about this.

True. Women do get attracted towards men. So the ayah revealed first and foremost states " Command the believing women to lower their gaze..... " And then mentions the hijab. Moreover, even if the woman is attracted, she cannot harass the man, but only seduce him ( that too when the man allows her to do so) .

No, women don’t need to cover up more, the men just need to stop acting as if they are above Allah’s law and do better at lowering their gaze. Both genders are commanded to lower their gaze and cover their private parts.

we don't rape men for it tho and the god fearing women lower their gaze we don't ask men to cover their muscles now do we??

May Allah guide you.

I think many of these injuctions and attitudes are cultural not religious. God sees into our hearts and that is what counts after all.

Yes you are right👍

Here is a hadith I found there is a hadith in al bukhari "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "When the verse 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bossoms' was revealed, the ladies cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their heads and faces with those pieces of cloth" (Sahih Al-Bukhari 4759)

When Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies.” [al-Ahzab 33:59], he covered his face, leaving only one eye showing. This indicates that what was meant by the verse was covering the face. This was the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) of this verse, as narrated from him by ‘Ubaydah al-Salmani when he asked him about it. Evidence for niqab from the Sunnah In the Sunnah, there are many ahadith, such as: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman in ihram is forbidden to veil her face (wear Niqab) or to wear the burqa’.” This indicates that when women were not in ihram, women used to cover their faces. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in ihram, and when men passed by us, we would lower the Khimar on our heads over our faces, and when they moved on we would lift it again.”

Scholars talk about everything in religion regarding all genders ages and societies

@@YussefAbdelhady Lets be honest Islamic scholars never stress more Men's accountability in sexual assault and moral bankruptcy as much as they do on women.They talk so much on women being fitna that it just feel hatred and misogny.If a women dresses non provocative then she should cover her head ,well after covering head,cover face then after covering face put cover on eyes like Afghani burqa in Taliban regime,seems like they just wanted women to disappear.

@namra The thing is not everything is materialistic and "oppresive" by your standards. Everything in the religion is decreed by allah not the scholars. If a scholar says something without evidence from the quran or sunnah then their words are nothing. Women cover because the creator of the universe told them to do so, thats it. Any interpretations or reasoning for the wisdom behind it is human ijtihad. Thats it Men on the other hand have so much decreed upon them by allah exclusively, including jihad, spending money on the family, lowering their gaze and not looking at women (even if theyre covered) and much more. Islam isnt abt controlling women or controlling men its not the christian church. Islam is about adhering tk the word of allah swt. If you dont believe rhay the quran is the word of allah then we talk abt that with evidences and logic. But if you do believe it then you have to adhere to it. And allah knows best

@@YussefAbdelhady there is no doubt about your articulation, brother. However, I believe scholars have to preach to avoid men doing wrongs too. Because the majority of speeches specify women instead of men. It is understandable in such a destructive time of the world and manipulation of non-muslims. Lovering gaze is described in Quran and narration from Prophet (peace be upon him and his prodigy). In addition, I do believe that the reason of spreading prostitution is due to men instead of women, because, men demand it as a customer of women who offers her body. Therefore, without discrimination both male and female must obey and follow the rule if they are believer. May ALLAH Guide and Retains us in his Rope!

@Agil Aliyev Where did you get the statistics to say the "majority" only talk about women I on the other hand see more scholars talking abt men lowering their gaze and asking allah for iffa and much more. The media just spotlights the parts where they talk about womens part, and glorify it so that is seems to people that they only talk about women Wallahy talk about women wouldnt even be more that 15% of their speech We have a lot more going on than what is being displayed brother.

yeahh! so true. Thtas whats confusing me more

I'm thinking Allah made this an issue of dispute for people because it is something that may not be broadly dispensable because every person is different and stages is beauty as well as levels are different. For instance, old women are excluded from having to wear a covering at all as long as they are not extravagant in their clothing. Why is this? Because due to age their beauty is lessened. Similarly it could be the case that the question of niqab vs hijab is one based in practicality and logical reasoning of the individual. If the woman knows she has beauty that attracts a lot of attention then perhaps a niqab is best suited. If the attention is less in others then maybe hijab is suitable. We are not all given the same levels of beauty as people, these are our individual trials so it makes sense that the choice of the matter is left with the individual and their level of piety. As opposed to a fixed absolute ruling. Allah knows best.

By your logic you are proving why it should be covered. Allah told the women to cover them selves and not to display their beauty to non mahram men.

So can we also say that the 5 prayer are also not mandatory? See the thing is with religion there is no half measure either you take it as a whole or you don't take it at all. You can't pick and choose and mediate what you want to do and not do. Someone can be a really good person and still not pray that doesn't mean he is not going againts the will of this creator. Same thing with the hijab no one is telling women that if they don't wear it they are bad person but wearing it is for their Lord not for men or society, Allah is definitely going to hold you accountable for not wearing it, at that moment you can't tell him that you thought that the principal is that you are were a good person because the definition of a good person in Islam is, the one you do what this lord said.

Islam promotes Justice not equality. Equality can be unfair sometimes. Justice gives everyone their due share without being unfair.

In my opinion: Allah has made man the leader of the house. All the men are providers for their own home through hardwork. Men go out and work hard to fullfil their responsibilities. Also that time was hard for survival as well. Women only went out when they had an urgency other than that they were at their homes providing a good environment for their husband and children. When only men were out and women at their home and there were no mix gatherings so the ruling for men to cover their face was not needed. There was no social media so direct contact of both genders were minimun. Also if you notice women naturally don’t make eye contact to men as they are shy in nature plus with their veil on they wouldn’t be able to see much as well. Unlike women men can get attracted easily it’s in their nature plus they are confident in nature so they make direct eye contact. In an environment which is mostly run by men, having no or minimum contact with women and by the nature of us humans the ruling was not needed for men to cover.

If you remove the tafseer from the translation, and directly translate the Quran word to word, u won’t understand it. If u want to follow the Quran only and leave the sunnah, then u need to know the Arabic language and follow word to word, even then it wont make sense

@UCr8rU1DL1AtNMlUfwgQ6TnQ the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Soon there will be a time when a man will be reclining on his couch, narrating a hadeeth from me, and he will say, Between us and you is the Book of Allaah: what it says is halaal, we take as halaal, and what it says is haraam, we take as haraam. O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him))” And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)” [al-Hashr 59:7]. And let those who oppose the Messenger's (Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah- legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant) should befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them” [an-Noor 24:63]. Following only the Quran is a 21st country belief, no scholars of the past did this, it would be impossible to understand and carry the religion forward without the sunnah. All the Quran verses u have listed is from translation which includes interpretation to make the translation.

@@u.n258 Surah Baqarah, Ayah 2, Quran is a guidance to those who fear Allah. Not for Ulma or anyone else to explain it, anyone can understand it, who fear Allah. It’s a complete book. In tafseer not only included human beings thoughts and perception but also mostly explained by Bible, Allah said Quran is a complete book and explained all scriptures ỉn detailed. Surah Younus, Ayah 37. Who fear Allah need no other scriptures or people’s opinions to explain it.

It's still unclear, it's said that something that's not clear it's better to avoid it, the khimar thing that Dr Zakir naik is talking Abt is cleared by Nouman Ali, even tho Dr Zakir naik is very educated MashAllah, Nouman Ali has mastered in Arabic of Quran and its grammar. and those hadees that Dr Zakir mentioned, those can be from before when the ayats weren't revealed to the Prophet pbuh, keep in mind that the day that ayah was revealed was his wedding day when his wife was sitting between the guests who wouldn't leave the house of the prophet pbuh and he felt uncomfortable but yet ashamed to ask the guests to leave and that's when the ayah was revealed ,that means women before that didn't cover what are the chances that the hadees of Dr Zakir mentioned was before the ayah????in the Aya it says to tell Muslim women to throw a veil over their bodies, ppl don't keep in mind that face is a part of ur body ppl deny covering faces ,either way we should try our best to be better ❤

@@itezwutitez.body is body, but face usually isn't included in the English language when referring to the body. If face covering required, Allah would have said the word face. Just like He forbid swine, alcoholic beverages etc.

@@janemueller653 this is all still very unclear so therefore it's better to avoid it, you said it's "usually not included" so why take a slim chance of it actually being included?plus it's over the body(from above) the chances are very high that the face is included,Allah forbid many things that are not mentioned by name , like drugs, cigars.. or alot of other things!!! We know these things are haram cause it's haram to damage our bodies, just like that perfume is haram Cause it attracts,(similar situation with ur face as it's the main beauty in a woman) so we just need to connect things to know whether it's haram or not! Just see why other things are made haram and if the thing we are confused about can have the same reason to be prohibited Even tho music is haram , Islam doesn't say anything about Acappella however it's still better to avoid it since it has similar effects of a music Plus we are talking about today's grammar, god knows what it actually means. And Quranic grammar is different from not only English but also modern Arabic grammar I am just telling my point of view, it's your choice to either agree or disagree and I'll respect it♥️

​@@itezwutitez.I agree but i have to add. I learned recently from my local ustaz, he discussed the different rulings of women's aurah in the 4 mazhab. The conclusion is that there are 2 correct opinions. 1) face covering is an obligation as it was also mandated to the prophet's wives 2) face covering is not an obligation but becomes mandatory in times of fitna. Both opinions are said to be correct and we can follow whichever we feel comfortable among these. In the discussion i also learnt about how in 3 mazhab feet are aurah except in mazhab hanafi feet are not aurah because it is a body part which is usually exposed. I feel as said by mufti menk, the hijab covering is to avoid harm. So maybe Hanafi scholars viewed into the local places which follow hanafi, maybe feet isnt sexy therefore not considered as fitna. Therefore the opinion of feet is not aurah is also correct. I think i will need to find more information on why hanafi give out this opinion. May allah bless us all and lead us to the right way.

@@adylaar6708 I have also learnt that face covering becomes mandatory at the time of fitna (which we are clearly going through), my teacher told me that you should cover your face whenever you are going to those places that's requires you to be safe as much as possible like a place where you will have to interact with many men but you can take of ur face covering if ur amongst family members where you don't need much protection even if they are non mehram while also keeping hijab and modest clothing since ur father and brother are there to protect you, however then I have also heard that once you start covering face it's better to not go back to showing ur face to non mehram again even tho my teacher said you can wear it on and off, I just still try to avoid not covering

But never in a single hadith does the Prophet (saw) order or even explicitly recommend the niqab. There are even multiple hadith where women appear before him with uncovered faces and he never orders them to cover. I can provide those hadith in a second comment if you wish.

​@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611 can you please? Thanks

@@sadeemfawad5660 Salaam Wa-Alaikum, my brother. I tried responding to you yesterday, but RU-vid didn't save my comment. When I am free later today, I will send you a second comment with all the sources I tried to send you yesterday, inshallah.

​@@meanderingmangomanthe1stof611brother Please Post Those Hadith with Reference

@@Owa_si_raj They still didn't post? I'll try a third time, then. If you don't see a new comment my me tomorrow, assume I have tried again and it still didn't work.

Of course we could never catch up. But they're an example to us and we should strive to be as similar as possible. There's no such thing as excess good deeds.

Honey, just protect your face from UV radiation from the sun, radicals in the air and the damage of long-term makeup use. Niqab is like a physical sunscreen. Also, if you do skincare, please protect your facial skin outside the house. Thinking like this has really helped me into wearing a niqab. And I love it so much now.

@@millie4801 it's very important to set our intention to wear it for the sake of Allah. Protection of the face is only a bonus Elhamdulillah

Man can look at women while proposing her.

You are allowed to see your potential wife’s face. Also, while you should be attracted to your spouse that shouldn’t be the entire basis of the relationship. You must get to know the person first and look past their appearance if they are a good pious person.

@@theArun3435 Well then, that proves that niqab is not mandatory: قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ (30) وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِنَّ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (31) “[Prophet], tell believing men to lower their glances and guard their private parts: that is purer for them. God is well aware of everything they do. And tell believing women that they should lower their glances, guard their private parts, and not display their charms beyond what [it is acceptable] to reveal; they should let their headscarves fall to cover their necklines and not reveal their charms except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their womenfolk, their slaves, such men as attend them who have no sexual desire, or children who are not yet aware of women’s nakedness; they should not stamp their feet so as to draw attention to any hidden charms. Believers, all of you, turn to God so that you may prosper.” Allah swt, clarifies that what must be hiding should not be reveal to any person who is not in the list. So, you can only show your beaty once you are married. According to this rule you cannot show your hair to your future husband, but you can show him your face. This itself proves that the face it's not part of the "adornments" and it's a form of increasing our modesty. Allah swt did not did this religion hard upon us, on the contrary He Himself states that he has perfectionated our deen. Islam is a middle point. Allah knows best.

@@hagarmaatougui4658 the wives of the prophet covered their face. there are so many hadith on this. at the same time there is a hadith about a man getting married but he hasn't seen his wife's face. the prophet asked him if he had seen it. this means it was on every woman to cover her face otherwise he wouldn't of bothered asking since he knew who he was marrying. he instructed him to go and look at her.

@@hagarmaatougui4658 your argument is flawed and instead of looking up to the best women of all time you decide to follow you own desires
