The Hijaab is Beautiful

 
 

 

THE HIJAB is BEAUTIFUL...
Al-Hamdulilah, it is well known that the Muslim woman is a creature
of Hayaa (modesty). Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves for our Muslim
women to be shielded by their Hijab. It is their outer protection from
the decadence of this life. Allahï؟½s Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam has said:

"Verily! Allah is Hayaa (modest, bashful) & Sitteer
(i.e. the One Who Shields - from disobedient acts). He loves Hayaa
(i.e. He loves for one to practice modesty and bashfulness) and Siter
(shielding; covering)." [Collected by Abu Dawud; An-Nissaï؟½ee; Al-Baihaqee; Ahmad; & in Saheeh An-Nissaï؟½ee]

Therefore, we see that the Hijab of the Muslim woman has a quality
that comprises Hayaa (modesty). Hayaa is what proceeds from Iman
(belief). That is why when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands the women
to observe Hijab, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says:

"And tell the believing women..." [Surah An-Nur 24:31]
"...And the women of the believers..." [Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59]

Furthermore, Allahï؟½s Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"Al-Hayaa (modesty & bashfulness) is from Iman (belief) and Iman is in Al-Jannah (the Paradise)." [At-Tirmidhi - Saheeh]

My dear sisters in Islam, know that these women who beautify themselves
for the world to see possess no Hayaa; thus, they are void of any Iman.
Instead of looking to the latest fashion models for guidance, you, my
dear sisters, must look to the wives of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam.
