This is my letter, not only to Muslim as well as non-Muslim sisters, but to all my brothers and sisters in humanity. I do hope to gain some sympathy out of the sisters through this letter, for I know that Allah has created women with such an emotional quotient that houses sympathy in a special way. This doesn’t mean that men don’t have sympathy, but at this time, I would really like to reach out to my sisters.
The issue is straightforward and that of shamelessness, public nudity, and all the inapprorpriate visuals we are bombarded with today. Ofcourse my plea is also to all those companies and directors and all those people involved in such advertisements, dramas, movies and all the banners we see on the roads today. But I would like to specifically talk to those sisters who themselves come out of their houses. I’m hopeful that even most of the women will support me about those women who do not cover at all or barely cover themseles with clothes or even partially cover themselves. But my plea is to those sisters, especially the Muslim sisters who come out with ‘supposedly’ wearing the hijab (meaning any covering to cover their bodies). Many sisters cover themselves with a complete covering, supposedly thinking that they have succeeded in covering themselves. However, they make sure the covering itself is beautiful, nice-looking, attractive etc. Here is the thing: sister, you may be thinking that you must look ‘good enough’ in public, but really, where you must look good enough is within the confines of your household, especially in the eyes of your husband. Let me tell you sisters, men, both married but especially the unmarried young men, who are desperately trying to protect themselves from taking any wrong looks feel like they are on a battlefield when they come out of their house. Men are naturally programmed to be attracted to women. And through all senses: their sight, their voice, their smell (perfumes), their touch and all other feelings. They literally have to fight a battle against themselves to stop themselves from looking. Kindly, kindly, kindly, my sisters in hijab, please don’t let the hijab be attractive in any way. The purpose is to cover the beauty. Reserve that beauty for the right time and place. I understand that many of you may be unaware of what some brothers might be going through, but seriously, I just wanted to clearly let you know that we’re not in any easy situation.
Ofcourse all other things are a given but not the main theme of this letter: the brothers must keep their eyes away from looking. Brothers too must dress appropriately and sisters must also not look at inappropriate stuff. Likewise, brothers and sisters must strive to get married as early as possible, and parents as well as the society must help them get married as early as possible. Ofcourse all things go together, but here I just wanted to request the sisters, Muslims or non-Muslims, to take it easy on the men.
In the end I would like to say that this is not a personal attack on any one, but a mere message of awareness for both the men and the women. For this beautiful relationship of men and women, the most beautiful and the only way is the one devised by our creator and it is that of marriage. I just wanted to get a message across to sisters, especially those who were unaware of the ‘issue’. And yes, sisters without head coverings and face coverings, men find you more attractive when you expose your face and hair, so kindly cover them.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Our sisters are a gem
Only if they knew
