Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Is this all you scare about? Whether or not women cover their head? You’ve made an entire account to make multiple cases for the mandating of hijab and khimar. This is a manifestation of exactly what conservatives and traditionalists have reduced women down to, their body. Just like the pre Islamic medians, just like the liberal extremist, just like the pre Islamic meccans, etc; You don’t even recognize why tf you prioritize this so much.
I don’t care about what Europeans or Christians or hadithists do because I go by what’s in the Quran, and covering your hair isn’t in it thanks
“Some women in some places used to cover their hair, therefore hijab must be mandatory.”
🤡
If that is true, then wearing hijab is haram, since it would be "imitating the kuffar"?
Hijab was literally invented by men to control women and differentiate between free and slave women but he didn’t mention this part
Tired of this debate. There will never be a place truly for progressive muslims. These traditionalists will always be lerking there and trying to enforce there scholar's opinion and hadith views on others.
Who cares about European women. We are suppose to follow Allah's command in the Quran. The honest truth is you can't digest that it doesn't mention cover your head or hair. You play mental gymnastics to try and put words in the Quran which aren't there.
There was a discussion with u/Melwood786 about the origin of how Arab put on hijab 6 months ago, so I'll just copy paste his answer here:
"During Muhammad's lifetime, there was no uniform way that women dressed. Their dress varied from woman to woman and region to region. Women who lived in regions of Arabia influenced by the "higher" cultures of Rome and Persia sometimes imitated their fashion, which included wearing veils. Women who lived outside regions of Arabia not influenced by the cultures of Rome and Persian often went without wearing veils:
"The Encyclopedia of Islam holds that the tradition of veiling women came from roughly that area: This custom [the hijab, or veil], which appears to have been unknown to the early inhabitants of the Hijaz [Muhammad's region of Arabia], seems to have been introduced into Islam by the Umayyads, probably under the influence of Sassanid [Persian] civilization." (see The Gardens of Their Dreams: Desertification and Culture in World History, pg. 71)
"With the exception of Muhammad's wives, whose special status set them apart, strict veiling for women does not seem to have been the norm in the early Muslim community." (see Medieval Islamic Civilization: An Encyclopaedia, vol. 1, pg. 160)
We were originally talking about slavery which still exist in Arab until 1962, where the slave women doesn't wear hijab. source. So to sum it up, hijab is not a thing during Muhammad times, but started during Ummayyads. And they use hijab to make a distinction between the free women and the slave women.
Also this push of hijab being mandatory begin in 1970s. "The 1979 Islamic revolution introduced the idea of hijab law. On March 8 1979, thousands of Iranian women marched in the street, protesting the idea of imposing hijab with slogans such as “freedom of choice in clothes”. Wearing hijab became obligatory for all Iranian women from April 1983." source
Edit: I apparently made a lot of typos.
Your logical fallacy is (drum roll) post hoc ergo propter hoc! 🎉 You assume that just because one thing followed another, the first thing caused the second.
Also how could I forget that the opinions of every Muslim to ever roam on this planet was recorded and that every single one pre-20th century believed the hijab was obligatory! It’s not like men actively tried to push women out of scholarly spaces, no never! (Also, I’ll give you one Muslim of the 1800s who didn’t believe the hijab was mandatory: Muhammad Abduh).
This man isn't western. He's an Arab. Some Arabs have light coloured hair too. Having light coloured hair doesn't make you white nor Western. The clue should have been his name (Omar).
