As we move further away from the time and age
of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam, and we approach
ever closer to the Day of Judgement, the Muslims are growing
more and more weaker in their beliefs and practices. One of
which is purdah.
Purdah in Islam is necessary upon every woman
who is close to the age of puberty or has reached it.
Many complain that the Hijaab enjoined upon
the Muslim women is far too restrictive and rigid and is in
order to keep them inferior to men. Ignorance and misunderstanding
can only be the cause of such beliefs. Besides Islam which other
religions or nations have given homes full protection from exploitation
from strangers? While at the same time guides women upon importance
of purity and morality as well as upholding her status and dignity.
A woman is likened to a sweet creature everything
about her is an attraction for spectators. Islam protects her
by enjoining her to wear Hijaab so that covering herself does
not attract the swamps of flies and dirty creatures attracted
to uncovered sweets as in the cone of today’s woman who
falls prey to this.
