11) The Hijab . . .



The decision to keep the veil on is getting harder for some girls in Egypt...

Many veiled girls don't wanna wear the hijab and their parents oblige them to wear it not because this is the (Islamic headscarf) but because they thought that unveiled girls will never get married...!
While many other girls are in the opposite situation - They wanna wear the hijab but they have not enough courage to take the decision to wear it coz their families thought veiled girls will never get married...!

Question: What is the relation between wearing the hijab and getting married...?!

Lamma te3rafy 2olely!

this is how i think it goes. The families the unveiled girls belong to, have guys in their society circle interested always in girls looking stunning. Full make up, in tights, perfume and most importantly with their hair done and looking great. So when all this beauty is covered, families think girls stop being attractive anymore. and vice versa goes to the other part of the society.

The hard question ba2a. Why do girls who wore "hejab" with their own free will, and maybe fought their parents for doing this as obeying Allah, after a little while you find them taking it off, and the lame reason you get from them "asl makontesh mestrya7a"... WHO on earth forced you?! you took the decision by your own free will. "Yady el kheba fe3lan"

ahlan ahlan Ze2red, happy to see you around :)

3andek 7a2, very strange fe3lan. hmmm.. were they bored masalan? maybe! was it their husbands' will? maybe bardo! their parents' pressure? maybe! their friends' opinions? possibly! or maybe la7zet da3f!!... Maybe all of that and more ... I am bad at guessing. I had to ask them but actually never thought to start such argument with anyone; may that's bcoz I am one of those people who believe that our religion is without reproach... if they choose to go astray here or there then they do it at their own peril... Elmohem, we should not try and fault our religion to find excuse for our own behaviors.

I'm with you on all of that. and i never started the argument too. One of my best friends did take it off, after years of persuading her parents to wear it. when she did and she gave me "the mesh merta7a" reason, i just hung up the phone and couldn't talk to her again. I somehow stop respecting those girls again. True we all do mistakes we are human, and there is space for redemption and Allah's mercy and generosity is above anything. and i'm not a perfect person at all. and i should not bail out like that because some day i might be the reason to walk with them again towards the right path, but...

i'm out of words, sorry the whole subject just makes me angry. maybe part of it because i lost my best friend because of it :(
