they said its Aurah Awareness Campaign

Assalamualaikum!
hola people!

today in gonna talk bout a campaign that has just recently

launched here in my campus

what they did was,

well, they emphasize the dress code according to islam

macam muslimah

everything was perfect

except one thing

shawl is strictly prohibited

Islam never prohibit its followers from fashioning

all you have to do is just cover them

its entirely up to you

whether you wanna just wrap a blanket,

or tudung, or even shawl

its just that when you wear, wear it neatly because we as muslims

we project the image of Islam

i have also once read it in the net

a malay quote which says

"pakai tudung tak wajib tapi tutup aurat itu wajib"

i strongly agree with this quote

the second this bout this campaign that i dont really like is

that, the way they deliver the message

if we wanna advise people there are some certain ways

 let say this conversation between a&b

a: sister, tudung awak ni, kecik sangat, x malu ke bila jumpe brothers nanti?

b: diam *marah yang amat*

well, when you look at the conversation above, i wouldnt blame a from being angry, but of course

its not justifying what she did

 but the way a talked would make the students to retaliate more

they would be tempted to do it more

why cant people advise the softer way?

Islam is something that is very nice

very soft

why do these people act this way?

why cant they approach by saying what is the necessity in covering aurah?

by saying the value of a women's aurah in islam

all these thing have wonderful reasoning

explanation in these itself can make people listen and InsyaAllah they might change as well

here is the verse from the Holy Quran

from surah Al-Azhab verse 59

 O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

as i was looking for the translation

i found this on the web

i hope it does contributes some 

this is the explanation on why Allah sent down the verse above

 Syeikh Dr Yusof Al-Qaradawi menerangkan “Sebahagian perempuan Jahiliah apabila keluar rumah, mereka suka menampakkan sebahagian kecantikannya, misalnya dada, leher dan rambut, sehingga mereka ini diganggu oleh laki-laki fasik (jahat) dan yang suka berzina, kemudian turunlah ayat di atas yang memerintahkan kepada orang-orang perempuan Islam untuk melabuhkan jilbabnya itu sehingga semua bahagian-bahagian tubuhnya yang boleh membawa fitnah itu tidak kelihatan. Dengan demikian secara zahirnya pula mereka itu akan dikenali sebagai wanita yang terpelihara (‘afifah) serta tidak mudah diganggu oleh orang-orang yang suka kejahatan atau orang-orang munafik.
Jadi jelasnya, bahawa ayat tersebut memberikan ‘illah (alasan) utama perintah ini adalah kerana bimbang wanita muslimah diganggu oleh orang-orang fasik dan menjadi perhatian orang-orang yang suka berzina. Bukanlah ketakutan yang timbul dari perempuan itu sendiri atau kerana tidak percaya kepada mereka, sebagaimana anggapan sesetengah orang, tetapi ia adalah kerana sebahagian wanita yang suka menampakkan perhiasannya, berjalan dengan penuh lenggang lengguk dan bicaranya dibuat-buat manja, sering menarik perhatian nafsu lelaki dan menjadikannya sasaran orang-orang yang suka berzina.
(Petikan dari kitab Al-Halal wal Haram fil Islam dengan sedikit pindaan)

well, renung-renungkanlah

and YES please do remind me as well

if i happen to be forgetting my dress code

sesungguhnya manusia sering perlu diingat-ingatkan.
