I fear it sends the wrong message. Painting the whole town red....
Its as good as saying all whites are not believers. From each region we can arrive at a set of stereotypical shortcomings.
There are some parts of world where every few square kilometers there is a change. There is a change from house to next house. If we have seen one part, it does not mean we can speak about the other part. If we have been there for one season, it does not mean we can accurately tell how the other season is. And people from these regions carry their home wherever they go. If one visits any immigrant house in Europe/America, its evident...
To connect easily think Europe. Think of number of languages in europe. Think of all the differences they had and they still have, the resentment some regions there show to outside culture.. . And now add more variety and more people, lot of religions, a lot of tolerance, that's sub continent...
Step down, it needs a lifetime to arrive at conclusion that reflect reality there...
Cant still fathom? just do this, observe the contributors in TTI forum...
Yet still clueless?
Then stop being reporter who paints the whole country/region red, after visiting a town or two. Just report where you saw it, because the onus to protect and prevent negative image, falls on reporter/narrator... Thats a tough job, embrace carefully
Peace.
I agree with you completely brother! i was just replying to the previous post... it was a reply and so i just assumed that its understud that i aint generalising...! just shared my experience of talking to the non hijabi sisters abt hijab. I am extremely sorry from the core of my heart if i offended anyone! who am I to actually stereotype anyone?!!
:salam2:
SubhanAllah u hit the nail on the head right there this line which seems to extremely annoy me these days
"Purity should be within the heart!"
in my relatives if i tell the elders u know your kid shud do hijab or do this, their immediate response is purity should be in the heart and then a long list of people who do hijab or niqab and are involve in wrong things ..... idk why they care so much about other act focus on yours
that goes the other way round too. then even we aint supposed to tell them anything either! the point is before correcting anyone we need to correct ourselves and make ourselves good examples for making them understand...
It's a very valid arguement. Hijab is for Allah and for yourself. Not for people to see.
If someone accuses a non-hijabi for not practising Islam, why cant she accuse hijabis the same (if its true)?
You just summed it all up right here. If you can tell a person who says "A long list of people who do hijab or niqab and are involve in wrong things" to focus on themselves, why can they not tell you (not YOU but you know what i mean) the same thing???
In case anyone runs to conclusion, I am 100% for hijab and I wear hijab. This arguement has been on TTI many times.
It is NOT A REFLECTION of her character and it most definitely is not set in stone.
A brother should take a step further to look at her deen inside - yes - inside bfore just not marrying because she doesnt do hijab.
Marry her and MAKE her do hijab.
This is my personal opinion-- If you have faith on the inside ( a strong one I am talking about) it'll be visible on the outside. why do you and other sisters wear hijab? not for the people of course but coz you have faith! I don't deny the fact that 'all hijabis aint pious' . The point I want to make is that if you appear pious on the outside it's not necessary that you are one, but if you are pious on the inside it is going to be reflected in your daily life, in your every action! Rest Allh knows best!
Again its my thinking... May Allah correct me wherever/whenever i go wrong...
jazakallah khairn!
