women's dress code question?
-
well, that is why i go to different sites as you can see that i am blind lol, well, did you translate that by your self? well in every other translation i see no head over there, even the one in my own language (bengali). And why then this website(free-minds.org) is saying that head covering is not mandatory?
well, I understand your view, but plz take no offense but I am taking what you are saying as a point of view because in the other translations I've seen no where it says head. Well thank you I appreciate it a lot . Now, some one else reply plz, I need to know more people's perspective.al-afran reply here first

salam luthador. what you are saying is most women in your country dont obey the quran, and you wish to advise others this is the right way?
allah is the knower.
hey hey there, take it easy now. I thought this was supposed to be a free minded muslims forum, but you seem to be over bearingly conservative. Well, I really do not know whose translation your using, is it done by your self? Well I am using the translations of dr.rashad khalifa. In his one, I already showed the word head is not found and other interpreters(in this website and quran-islam.org) are apparently saying that the words khamir (or something like that, sorry i forgot as i am dull) is mistranslated to covering head when it should have been bosom. well what they are showing is more logical and i've compared it one in my own language and it matches. Well anyway now I want to know what other people of this forum says, i understand what you are saying and thank you. D. and plz I really do not want to start a debate with you the reason why I objected was because of those websites and in the translated version i use, i did not find head as mentioned in those sites. So if you debate, plz prove the people of those websites(including this one) first. thank you.

peace LS, Al araf is the only recently frequent member i know of on this forum who takes this position regarding the head scarf issue. trawling the forum sections or using the search function is a good way to find all the threads which discuss the matter. (wakas should be proud of me )

Well could you please show me the links to thosw? If you do I'd really appreciate it.
Al Afran, again I thank you a lot for sharing, but it is only your perspective, please do not start critizing me, remember you are not Allah, you may not assert (i got this line from a book called will of allah, lol its cool). Now I need to know other people's perpective as well so thank you al afran i appreciate.

salam samia. allah does not name a person who is to say this to believing women. therefore i believe to raise this as an issue is outside the quran.
allah is the best of those who teach.
Salaam Al Araf
How is it an issue outside the qur'aan?
Do you have any other example from the qur'aan where God issues a command just in this way, through "say", a third party? Is this even the language of the many commands and prohibitions in this chapter? -

al-afran plz see my above posts and once again thank you. -
ls,
Let me explain it simply, the verse says "draw your khimaar over your chest". The word khimaar in Classical Arabic dictionaries can mean "headcover" as well as any "cover". So, it is possible to interpret it as "headcover" but that is not the only option.I recommend the search fucntion.

salam luthador. i respect the humble reply from samia and yourself. i am reproducing one of the standard translations here to save time.
7431 and we have set none but angels as guardians of the fire; and we have fixed their number only as a trial for unbelievers, in order that the people of the book may arrive at certainty, and the believers may increase in faith, and that no doubts may be left for the people of the book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say, what symbol does allah intend by this, thus does allah leave to stray whom he pleases, and guide whom he pleases; and none can know the forces of your lord, except him, and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
allah is the one who warns.

okay,... so what you are saying is that I am a disbeliever? for one simple thing as hijab you think that? no problem i respect your opinion, but i am not. And i never said anything like what you highlighted, i am only having doubts because i do not understand properly as i am dull(i have said it several times). after seeing quran-islam.org and and this website about what it says about head scarf it is clear that it is not mandatory(by the way we are not using your translation, we are using dr.rashad khalifa's) now plz i wish not to debate you, but I am sticking to what it says in this website, because the translation used here is very authentic compared to any others. and clearly the word head is not even used and i compared that with a translation of quran in my language(bengali) and it matches. Allah's signs are quite clear. So now do not start critisizing me i beg u for ur pardon, but this is my point of view and you are not Allah. my point of view is different from that of conservatives like your self, sorry. And most people around here also seem to be agreeing that head covering is not mandatory. Thank you for sharing your point of view once agan. I really appreciate D

Why do you think he means that? Remember he does not know Arabic, just like you, and maybe he does not exactly know what this verse says, because the word (symbol , ramz) does not exist in it. Moreover, the verse in question (2431)does not contain a parable ( mathal).

well he is acting as him he is an scholar who knows everything, and thank god/Allah i got a pm from dc2, he told me just how al-araf is, so arguing with him is really not worth my time. And Al-araf plz take no offense, forgive me but you are too intelligent for me so plz do not reply in my posts, sorry, i beg u for ur pardon, plz do not reply in my posts as you are too intelligent for spending your time and replying in my whinning which is very stupid. so i am putting you in my ignore list, and again al-araf i really appreciate how you tried to helped i really do, but you are a conservative, and i am liberal so sorry, u are also very smart compared to me so do not reply in my posts. now other people plz reply giving your point of views, only ur point of views and do not behave like hukm, acting as if u r allah.

But in the Quran khimar and related words have no suggestion of 'head' but more of a cover. The proposed meaning of draw you headcovers over your bosoms makes no sense anyway (do the people who claim this claim that women can show their midrift?). The Sunni and Shia people then patronize God and then claim, out of their own prejudices, that God really meant to tell the women to cover practically everything to 'protect them' from being viewed upon as sexual objects (and it is in the countries where this code is in place where women are viewed most sexually).
This topic is, in my opinion, one that is spoken/written about too much and is in reality a classic exposition of such people's general ignorance and their opposition to the Quran.
