    Yup, in the desert you would need to have your head covered (men & women alike) - due to the hot, hot sun. That's why it has been common for so long in the desert areas for people to be covering their heads.
    But somewhere where it's hot and very humid, a headscarf and long clothing would make you super sweaty & uncomfortable.

    In a humid place, it'd be too hot to perspire. But even I can assume that the fires of hell are more so than the humidity issue of wherever you may wish to perspire.

      It is formidable to see somebody fight so hard in order to uphold his right to the privilege of being an obssessed ... and to have everybody else behave as if his obssessions were facts. Once duly impressed by that weird sight, is it really worth it to carry on chatting the same script over and over?

        I knew what word you were referring to but obviously you didn't know what I was referring to. "Zina" in case you don't know means a thing of beauty not zina in the sense of fornicator/adulterer

        see

        Zay-Ya-Nun = To adorn, deck. Adorn, grace, honor . Embellished, dressed, or trimmed it . Adorned , ornamented, decorated, decked, bedecked, garnished, embellished, beautified, or graced him/it. Of language it is said "It was embellished, dressed up, or trimmed". Of action it is said "It was embellished, dressed up"; i.e. commended to a person by another man. A grace, a beauty, a comely quality, a physical/intellectual adornment, an honour or a credit, and anything that is the pride or glory of a person or a thing. A thing that does not disgrace or render unseemly a wise man in any of his states or conditions, either in the present world or in that which is to come. It are of three kinds Mental Such as knowledge/science and good tenants. Bodily Strength, tallness of stature, beauty of aspect. Extrinsic Wealth, rank or station, dignity.

        "As for believers harmed, are we males not harmed when we cannot even recall information when you women stupefy us with your pheromones?"

        pheromones aren't limited to females.

        Why ask, you've already assumed more than enough.

        there is something called rhetorical questioning. This time i'm not asking, i'm telling you to have some respect.

        "You might need to work on the psychology of how your brain works." - Psychology is a failing subject, perhaps you meant neurology?
        ATM the only thing failing very far is you.

        "lots of people can recall situations with better responses that?s because they have time to respond and reflect, not instantly react. ?being on the spot? is not always an easy case. Stop blaming women's appearance for your own incompetencies." - Are you being wicked upon me (Quarn 496) do I need to verify that one? My incompetences? You really hate men, don't you? But what of quran 971? Who cares if men are weak? Then I would say, who cares if women get treated without such rights if I were you.

        No i wasn?t being inquisitive nor asking you nothing, i was merely making a statement. so no i wasn?t being wicked I was just telling you as it is, in my understanding from what you reveal out here on the forum. You think women are not weak? You think MEN are only weak? (Serious question). and no i don?t hate men, why should i hate them? BTW i didn?t say that I didn?t or did care, so why assert claims?

        You say women could lose memories from being around men? Let's at least see this no? But surely the quran makes it clear in 2431 that they should lower their gaze, as well as not showing any of their beauty. Why? Ever seen men turn in the direction of pretty women?

        Yes women could lose memory in the presence of men. Never seen a girl turn in the direction of a handsome guy? Beep her horn while driving or giggle or even stalk? To answer your question and my own i have seen in both sexes.

        "BTW FAR what about bald women? Does non hijab make it ok and yes such women do exist." - quran 2431 and 3358-59 doesn't talk about hair, just beauty, and not being bothered.

        You have the audacity to argue with me and other sisters about women and their beauty and their HAIR and tell us hair is nudity let me quote
        Refer to your replies 35 and 37 and now you want to argue issues other than hair?

        Reread your posts

        Quran 285, 37, 1590-1594

        As for women wanting to become nude and go against quran 2430... and becoming cheap for quran 2433.... let them please see the scientific evidences provided by some Italian scientists that go against their beliefs but agree with the quran.

        http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9x5wY6hbX8

        Am I being to harsh?

        Maybe I need to find a forum where real muslimahs are at, because I have a question to ask them... and I don't know if the females here are suitable for that.

        Ah and you need to find ?real muslimahs? because women are uncovering their hair?! This argument is about hair and your assertion of it being a ?zina? (zina in terms of beauty!) this is what i am focusing on based on this


        Quote from nsws1988 on January 24, 2010, 053718 AM

        Uncovering your hair is not nudity. Good riddance!

        Actually it is... where pheromones are released... that is. The hair is significant source of this... of course if you were bald...
        I haven't found one yet, I'll just have to make sure that the muslimahs in my town speak up.

        Please quran 971

        So let?s settle one point at a time, shall we? focusing on Hair.

          Peace FAR

          I have not made any character judgment on you in any of my posts. But you have told me once that I only support women, and not men. And then that i don't desire to help men and women in men's bodies.

          Am I saying that women can wear what they want, but men have to wear a "sheet" so they don't tempt a women. Have you said yet that men have to wear a sheet just like women do. So when will you start supporting women?

          There is no reason for a man or a woman to wear a sheet. There is no reason for us to dictate and lecture others on how to dress. It is their choice. If you have an issue with it, you find the solution within yourself.

          While people may be naturally inclined to judge, it does not make passing judgment acceptable. People are inclined to do a lot of unacceptable things. We were put on this Earth to be the best we can be, not to do things of inclination.

          And I suggest that you read up on pheromones, and the little evidence there is of their effects in human beings. And secondly, a piece of clothing whatever that may be will not prevent any pheromones, therefore it seems you are now advocating for segregation.

          Therefore, I am now saying I am done talking to you. I have made my position on this issue very clear, and I have nothing more to say.

            Peace all,

            Head covering is mentioned in Bible only, not in Quran. Please quote any verse you think it describes it.

            Peace

            Peace,

            Yet, no one quoted any verse that commands to cover the hair. These discussions can last 4ever if no one just speaks about FACTS.

            WHERE IS IT MENTIONNED IN THE READING. Please quote any verse.

            Peace

              FAR You can judge the females here all you like and you can use any study you wish but what you cannot bring is the most crucial thing. You can NOT find ANYWHERE in the book of Allah (swt) 'COVER YOUR THE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD'.

              So PLEASE stop ranting.

              If MEN go deaf when they see a woman then HOW ABOUT perhaps THEY follow the Quran when it says LOWER YOUR GAZE!

              I couldn't be bothered to read all that judgemental tripe you posted.

              This debate will be over and I will stand corrected the minute you show me where Allah commands women to cover the hair on their head. Until then, you can whip yourself into a frenzy.

                Peace everyone,

                Sorry for joining this thread so late. There is no point in me repeating the good points that have already been made - it's been well established that God did not tell us to cover our heads, male or female. I just want to add that if I never get a fair chance to see a woman's outward beauty, how will I select a bride?

                3352
                3352 Not lawful for you are women beyond this (above law), nor can you exchange them for other wives, although their beauty may please you.

                For the sake of transparency, I admit that the above expression (aajabak husnuhunn) may refer to being pleased not only by a woman's look, but by her beautiful mind and beautiful piety.

                I would just like to add that attributing falsehood to God is a serious offense. Coming up with our own definitions of piety is a form of attributing falsehood to God - who is the source and original definer of piety. If we say, "I feel closer to God with a head covering on," we may want to question why we feel that way. Did we get this way from inherited traditions, or is it a fact from the reading (quran) that head coverings are designed by God to make us feel closer to Him? In other words, we need to recognize the possibility that our works have been adorned in our eyes in any situation. If I feel closer to God by wearing the color green, I should examine my emotions and get to the root of this feeling. Is it from superstitions, or traditions? Is it some nonsense I learned from my parents?

                So, if you feel some difficulty in removing your head covering - other than in a society where it is dangerous to do so - you may want to search your heart and find out why.

                  peace David, all,

                  Many people do not realise the point you mentioned about 3352. I agree with you, and that is why I did not use it in this article for example
                  http//misconceptions-about-islam.com/dress-code-women-veil.htm

                  All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                    So let?s settle one point at a time, shall we? focusing on Hair.

                    Pheromones are limited to women... with men, they're limited in amount as compared to women.

                    "there is something called rhetorical questioning. This time i'm not asking, i'm telling you to have some respect."
                    I'd love to have some respect from you.

                    "ATM the only thing failing very far is you."
                    Do I have to pay for this respect?

                    "No i wasn?t being inquisitive nor asking you nothing, i was merely making a statement. so no i wasn?t being wicked I was just telling you as it is, in my understanding from what you reveal out here on the forum.

                    Well... quran 496 does refer to statements made, and you were wicked because you didn't provide sources and references, and that meant that I needed to do more leg work.
                    You want me to say women and men are equal or men are stronger than women? Was it not you or someone else here, who said I should control my desires. I don't see you loving your fellow man. You said that you cared for others... you didn't include men.

                    "Yes women could lose memory in the presence of men. Never seen a girl turn in the direction of a handsome guy? Beep her horn while driving or giggle or even stalk? To answer your question and my own i have seen in both sexes."

                    I only saw a woman close her eyes after I was told she was staring at me. I've never experienced such a thing unless I assumed that it was because I looked like a terrorist.
                    But unless you have proof of women losing memory in regards to information about relationships when men talk about such things, I'm not going to accept your statement.

                    "You have the audacity to argue with me and other sisters about women and their beauty and their HAIR and tell us hair is nudity let me quote
                    Refer to your replies 35 and 37 and now you want to argue issues other than hair?" - Hair is nudity. Must have been a type or grammar issue.

                    "Ah and you need to find ?real muslimahs? because women are uncovering their hair?! This argument is about hair and your assertion of it being a ?zina? (zina in terms of beauty!) this is what i am focusing on based on this" - but what I'm focusing about is the type of woman that I would prefer to be married to.

                    "So let?s settle one point at a time, shall we? focusing on Hair. " - you want to cut the hair and focus on that?

                      Eh? But I thought the women here were saying "down with hijab levels"... you want me to support what is actually being called for or this hypothetical thing you've just made up?

                      "There is no reason for us to dictate and lecture others on how to dress"

                      Quran 2430 orders you to do so... no wait, quran 2431 orders me to dictate to you on how to dress only after you've told me about quran 2430.

                      "therefore it seems you are now advocating for segregation" ... and you made the first move " I am now saying I am done talking to you". No I expect peace here on earth... not women making life miserable.

                          FAR... the Qur'an tells BOTH men and women to lower their gaze. You only quote 2430 and you left out 2431 that ordains the women to lower their gaze too. Here, so you don't miss it again

                          Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty that will make for greater purity for them and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty...

                          Yes, the Qur'an acknowledges that women can have desires too. So far, you have not provided any evidence in the Qur'an that tells women to cover every strand of their hair. The Qur'an tells the women to cover the breast and lengthen upon themselves their outer garment.

                          Notice in 2431, it is stated that

                          ..that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what appear thereof..

                          Then why did not God say in that verse that the women 'should not display their beauty and ornaments except their FACE and HAND'.

                          That is because God allows some provisions for women, to dress modestly according to the environment and the era they live in. So yeah, flirting with hair may arouse men's sexual desires. But as a woman, I can do more with my eyes and my lips to attract men sexually. Do not blame the women for men's weakness.

                          Slightly off-topic, if I look at a mango tree and I see the mangoes look so ripe and delicious, and the owner does not wrap each individual mango. Can I blame the owner when I feel tempted to steal the mangoes (because he does not cover each mango), or even, can I blame the mangoes for looking sooooooo ripe and delicious?!

                          Don't blame me. I'm a human, I'm weak to temptation. It's the owner's fault for not closely guarding his property (by covering everything he as as not to tempt everyone).

                          Peace

                            Pheromones are limited to women... with men, they're limited in amount as compared to women.

                            Why twist and turn, what i said was not wrong.

                            Well... quran 496 does refer to statements made, and you were wicked because you didn't provide sources and references, and that meant that I needed to do more leg work.
                            You want me to say women and men are equal or men are stronger than women? Was it not you or someone else here, who said I should control my desires. I don't see you loving your fellow man. You said that you cared for others... you didn't include men.

                            That?s being very bias brother. You should control your desires as should I, what?s the problem there? I?m not here to do your homework besides your evidence is disputable.

                            I only saw a woman close her eyes after I was told she was staring at me. I've never experienced such a thing unless I assumed that it was because I looked like a terrorist.
                            But unless you have proof of women losing memory in regards to information about relationships when men talk about such things, I'm not going to accept your statement.

                            Ok I?ve lost memory is that good enough? I?ve made a fool of myself in the presence of men is that good enough? Or am I an abnormal female who isn't supposed to experience any feelings/emotions to males? Because the way I am seeing things you seem to indicate women are asexual, totally strong minded and nothing could enter or fault them. as if to assert they have no weaknesses in the presence of men.

                            Sorry, though your experiences don?t complete reality. life doesnt just revolve around you. just because you have not SEEN women "lose memory", drool over you, flirt or do all sorts of wackiness.. even though you may think you?re ?pretty? doesn?t mean it doesn?t happen.

                            Hair is nudity. Must have been a type or grammar issue.

                            Is that so? So you agree showing hair is fine?

                            "Ah and you need to find ?real muslimahs? because women are uncovering their hair?! This argument is about hair and your assertion of it being a ?zina? (zina in terms of beauty!) this is what i am focusing on based on this" - but what I'm focusing about is the type of woman that I would prefer to be married to.

                            This isn?t a marriage potential thread of finding ?real muslimahs? we?re not fake muslimah?s. what makes us fake? (SERIOUS QUESTION) the fact that many don?t wear the headscarf? the fact that many want to take it off? The fact that women realise it?s a cultural reflection, and this goes against you?re desired wish of what you want in a women? Is that why we?re not real muslimahs because we don?t fit your preference of marriage?

                            "So let?s settle one point at a time, shall we? focusing on Hair. " - you want to cut the hair and focus on that?

                            Reread what I said ?so let?s settle one point at a time, shall we? Focusing on hair?. Is there some comprehension problem here? I?m not talking about cutting the hair I am talking about the display of hair in public.

                            Peace.

                              FAR... the Qur'an tells BOTH men and women to lower their gaze. You only quote 2430 and you left out 2431 that ordains the women to lower their gaze too. Here, so you don't miss it again

                              Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty that will make for greater purity for them and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty...

                              That is because God allows some provisions for women, to dress modestly according to the environment and the era they live in.

                              Peace

                              When the quran states quran 2430... that comes before quran 2431... we take one step at a time, especially when quran 2431 says "and tell the believingesses ....)

                              I never said hands and face are uncoverable... but for some women, their faces and hands are not anything appealing. But... when it comes to hair and body, and the head which perspires, and etc... these things are naturally beautiful for men amongst all women.

                              "to dress modestly according to the environment and the era they live in"

                              I do not accept that. We have to consider a most important effect of life. That is procreation. I'm not going to explain that as it would take to much time. If you can do more with your lips and eyes and hands, then you would have to cover them as they would be ornamental for you.

                              You want to blame the god for men's inherent qualities? Quran 314... There's an excellent reason for men to be like this. Women are man's first desire as along with many others... why because of quran 2860 ... probably better explained by this guy from 18 minutes http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmKZ7ezKMM

                              The mangos are married or slaves of another. And it's forbidden for mangos to marry another if they are already married. It would be adultery. But since you talked about mangos... mangos are fruit and property. They are owned and are property of that person, you need the permission of that farmer. But for women, you don't need their fathers permissions... but it was the duty of the parents to teach their children the legacy of islam. Quran 3130-133 http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1W4wv4K8rM Or the farmers duty to cover and protect his crops from pests... and farmers do that with chemicals and what not.

                              No you will be blamed for taking here on earth, rather than waiting for more in the hereafter. This life was just a taster to prepare you for that. But you wanted it now. That's when you get blamed for when you die and then ask for more... you'll be told you've had your fill.

                                FAR, after all your long posts and arguments, you still have NOT provided us with the most important and indisputable evidence to support your case Qur'anic verse(s). Show us that we are blind, show us the Qur'anic verse(s) that we have failed to see the Qur'anic verses that ordain the women to cover their head and hair. Please do so. If you can provide such verse(s), I will be the first one to put a headscarf on and I will be advising other female Believers to do so. Until you do so, you cannot say that headscarf for women is Islamic. You are welcome to have your views that women should put headscarf on, but you have absolutely NO right calling Muslimahs who don't wear the headscarf, "fake Muslimahs". Bear in mind 4911.

                                but for some women, their faces and hands are not anything appealing. But... when it comes to hair and body, and the head which perspires, and etc... these things are naturally beautiful for men amongst all women

                                Tell me honestly, which will you find more attractive, a woman with beautiful long hair with a mask on, or a beautiful woman with a headscarf on?

                                If you can do more with your lips and eyes and hands, then you would have to cover them as they would be ornamental for you.

                                Are you saying I have to put a burqa on? What I was trying to say, is that the most important thing is to act modestly, and not use our ornaments to purposely attract the opposite sex. I can still wear modest clothes, but not act modestly to attract me.

                                God knows what is concealed inside the hearts, and that is what's most important.

                                Peace.

                                  I do have the right to say whether you are not a muslim or what not, at least to myself that is.

                                  Quran 494

                                  I have not failed quran 4911, as "fake muslimahs" is not a nickname but a title in regards to the qualification of being muslim. Calling such women as something as such as "stupid whores", now that would be nicknaming them.

                                  I always find a hijabi more attractive for marriage than muslim women who have no care for men and who are more interested in blending into the secular background.

                                  Quran 2430-31, and 3358-59 comes to you again and again. But you have this opinion that you must conform to certain styles other than the best and most humble. The verse is clear as day, but you reject it and try to distort the words. One can assume that you are in no way interested in being a muslim, not obedient, not humble, not like muslims... but rather to be recognized as the secularists. I'll have to get some quranic verses for that next time.

                                  Covering yourself is modesty, your ornaments and beauty is already present upon your physiology. And I mentally feel more at ease around such women. Such women give me peace... other women don't. I cannot even think around such women. My mind goes numb. And it's only after I leave the presence of such quran 2431 less women, does my mental capacity return. And only then do I recall memories.

                                      It intrigues me how you use verses to support your wishes when clearly it goes against your purpose

                                      Quran 494, talks about not calling others ?non believers? who say peace to you and what have you done here exactly?

                                      What?s the qualification of being a ?muslim?? AH NO! I see you have used a masculine term to describe females how could you!

                                      ?Fake muslimah? is quite an offense, that?s like me calling you a fake muslim for not respecting the rights of muslim women. So yes in my opinion you actually cross the line with 4911

                                      ?fake muslimah?s? is a nickname an insult especially to people who identify themselves as muslimah?s. who are you to judge who is a true muslim or not? Outward appearance of hijab or rather headscarf does not make one a muslim or a non muslim nor a fake or real one..

                                      Your preference of attraction means nothing. Non hijab doesn?t mean blending into the secular background. BTW hijab attracts people and many women wear hijab to intentionally ?attract? those sorts of men. So it?s not necessarily about women caring more or less and to limit your assumption as such isn?t very wise.

                                        I do have the right to say whether you are not a muslim or what not, at least to myself that is.

                                        You did not say that to yourself. You told everyone who's reading this thread, that we are fake Muslimahs. Unless, you think that the whole world is all about you.

                                        I have not failed quran 4911, as "fake muslimahs" is not a nickname but a title in regards to the qualification of being muslim.

                                        It is a demeaning way of calling Muslimahs. It is offensive title to attach to women who have professed faith in Islam. Clearly the Qur'an tells all Believers to speak to everyone in polite manners. Even Moses was ordained to deliver warnings and speak to Fir'aun who is a disbeliever with gentle words. Even if I was a disbeliever, you should speak to me with words of peace, unless I declare wars on you which I haven't. Tell me, do you think calling us "fake Muslimahs" is a positive conduct? Do you think "fake Muslimahs" is a gentle word?

                                        And yes, have you read the verse 494 that Sarah quoted?

                                        I always find a hijabi more attractive for marriage than muslim women who have no care for men and who are more interested in blending into the secular background.

                                        Well it is totally fine if you find a hijabi more desirable to marry. But you can not say that non-hijabis are not interested in practicing Islamic teachings, hence fake Muslimahs. Do you know what is in our hearts? Do you know what we do everyday to make that assumption?

                                        And your perceived reality is not necessarily THE TRUTH. You may feel uneasy being around women who don't wear the hijab, but that's just you. Other men may not feel the same. You cannot make your opinion and experience, the Criterion.

                                        And yes, 2431 and 3359. Clearly tell me where it says the hair and the head, please?

                                        One can assume that you are in no way interested in being a muslim, not obedient, not humble, not like muslims...

                                        Really? How can you make assumption that I'm not interested in being a Muslim? Do you know me personally to see if I'm humble or not, if I'm obedient or not, if I'm committed to helping others or not? Are you just basing that with the fact that I'm not a hijabi?

                                        And not like Muslims. Interesting, what do you think is required to be 'qualified' as a Muslim? Both male and female.

                                        Peace.

                                          FAR, I did not reply to your post directed towards me because I did not understand what you meant. It now seems, you disagree with my view. If so, can you please direct me to a post of yours or any info which refutes it? Thanks.

                                          Please bear in mind logical fallacies when replying.

                                          What on earth are you even talking about...
