The Freedom In Modesty* Written by Naadira Chhipa

 *The Freedom In Modesty*

Written by Naadira Chhipa


There is a new trend of Muslim social media influencers and celebrities who are removing their hijaab and celebrating freedom in that. Their caption often states 'do not judge'. This is extremely sad and very disturbing. These sisters have thousands if not millions of women who emulate, purchase brands they endorse, look to them for inspiration, shower them with attention as well as 'follow' their daily updates. What is the point of removing your hijaab if you are promoting modesty? Why influence the world into believing there is freedom in removing our hijaab? 


There are millions of sisters who have fought and are fighting for the right to wear their hijaab in countries in which it is not allowed by law. There are millions of sisters who are struggling to adorn the hijaab and are looking for that extra motivation to do so. There are billions of sisters who find happiness, peace and contentment in wearing their hijaab as they know that is it for the pleasure of Allah not for the pleasure of this world and its people.


Yes we hear this ' do not judge' all the time but it is our right as sisters of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad(Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) to guide, advise and encourage others towards the goodness of this world and the hereafter. 


So much of hate, negativity, vulgarity, jealousy, nudity, arrogance, pride, gossip, slander and ridicule  being spewed all over social media.


To the influencers who promote the hijaab, wear the hijaab and then remove the hijaab: your intentions are known only by you and Allah. Remember you are influencing many sisters who are already in hijaab as well as those who are considering wearing the hijaab into believing that there is light, freedom and happiness in showcasing your hair, body and beauty to the world. Allah has ordered us to cover our hair, it is not an option but a command to conceal our body and hair. This command is not just to those influencers but for all Muslimahs, yet people who now have SOCIAL Media influence are promoting the freedom and happiness in showcasing their body and hair. 


Their pictures are even applauded and encouraged by their 'fans'. Their expression of freedom is praised as this is the sad state of the Ummah our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) cried for. 


'Do not judge'. Yes we are not the haraam police or high judges of this world but removing your hijaab is not freedom but rather submission to materialism, ego, pride, immodesty, attention craving and the whispers of shaytaan.


This is what the enemies of Islam applauded thousands of years ago and this is what they applaud and encourage today: freedom to not practice Islam and freedom to showcase disobedience to ALLAH.


Remember modesty is a branch of Imaan my dear sisters. Remember you are answerable for yourself as well as all those hearts, minds and souls you influence. May Allah guide us all with understanding and mercy. Ameen-Naadira Chhipa


The beauty of modesty is priceless.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
