Veil is Women's Freedom

Life is very simple but it is we who have complicated it with all the corruption in the minds and with the diseases of jealousy, hatred, pride, arrogance in our hearts. Same is the case with the issue of veil. Is this matter not as simple as choosing to wear a suit and cover your legs instead of exposing them by wearing a mini skirt? If a women wishes to cover her body and face from the X-ray eyes of other men, what wrong is she doing? She is not bringing loss to anyone. We all have the fundamental right to protection and she is making use of the same.

A veil is a protection for any women who desire to be modest, well mannered and saved from evil eyes. It is not just a piece of cloth which covers her body from head to toe but a clear message to the men around that this is the boundary which they cannot trespass. Signaling that she is not interested in any vain talk and opposes any immoral proceedings. Any verbal communication with men is short, firm and to the point, as she should not become the source of any temptations arising in the hearts of men.
When communicating with children, a woman can of course lift her veil so that she can teach them properly as in this situation her facial expressions may be important depending on the subject.

A veil is not a confinement but a freedom for women. When covered in an abaya, women can move freely without worrying about others looking at her curves, as there is nothing to see except the loose long black dress. Women can be very modest, properly covered and well mannered even without wearing an abaya, but what is the remedy for the temptations arising in the hearts of many men when they see a beautiful figure in charming colors and a glowing face. Does she not become the source for a big problem, which has started in a small way with no fault on her side? Islam is a religion with deeper wisdom than what we can perceive. By asking the women to cover herself, Islam eliminates the source of the problem and rewards her with blessings for killing her natural desire to showcase her beauty.

I am sure no decent man would ever tolerate another man staring at his beautiful wife. God did not create the feeling of jealousy and possessiveness in his heart without reason.

A woman has great responsibility in this society, as she is the one who closely grooms the future of the world. Competing with men is not success for her. Her success lies in molding the future with her soft and firm hands, a task which man is not privileged to accomplish. What respect can she command if she throws away her own Nobel Prize and strives to steal away somebody else’s prize.

She is the one who has to teach the children to stay away from nudity and illegal sex as it corrupts minds & hearts of complete societies. To stay away from homosexuality as it is against human nature and even animals refrain from it. Is man worse than an animal? If she understands human behavior and works intelligently towards uprooting the evils right from the source then she will bring to the whole mankind the gift of peace and happiness, which all the riches of the world put together, also cannot buy.
Only a fool can say that a veil is a danger for the society of Britain? In fact this is the best way to curb the immoral activities in the society, which occur due to lack of a value system. Free mingling of the sexes creates a fertile ground for the growth of passionate desires, which ends up in rape, out of marriage sex, homosexuality and even murder.

I have failed to understand why the Britain’s open society will stop being so if the women folk expose less of their skin in public. Is openness linked in any manner to the exposure of the fair skin for the feast of the men’s eyes or openness has a better meaning. I am sure that for Europeans the word ‘openness’ does not mean kissing another’s wife. Is openness not the free flow of constructive, beneficial and intelligent ideas across people and societies? It is highly stupid to think that the veil closes the doors of progress and prosperity for the people. It will in fact lead to a better utilization of resources, which are today going down the drain in the name of satisfying man’s sexual hunger.
