Are Hijabs an Article of Oppression

By Agus Rahman


The debate concerning extremism and oppression in Islam against girl is a never ending one it seems. The media seems to keep on focusing on the rights of Muslim ladies being violated by mandating costume articles that keep the shape covered in the majority of Muslim nations. Islamic clothing stuff such as jilbabs and abayas that cover the shape from head to toe are underneath constant scrutiny by feminine activists and women's rights spokespersons. Regardless of the fact that most Muslim woman select to wear these hijabs and hijabs, the discussions never cease.

The point that the Europe and advocates of pro option seem to have forgotten is that less than 100 years ago, lady living in European and American countries too used to wear garment that fully covered them from the throat to the feet. It was considered vulgar and inappropriate for women to expose their bodies to any member of the opposite sex. The long trailing robes and gowns made up the whole contents of the females wardrobe. In addition to these gowns, it was mandatory to wear fitted pants below the gown, in order to prevent even the slightest bit of exposure during movement.

Accordingly why it that the Muslim girl are is told that the jilbabs they wear are produced compulsory by the male dominating Muslim society as a way to oppress them? Why was it alright for the western women to wear outfits that were acceptable to the males of their society, though a Muslim lady cannot cover herself in order to please Allah? The lady do have got a choice and they choose to wear hijabs and jilbabs in most cases. They choose these clothes because they are the proper way of dressing prescribed by Islam.

There's no way that an clothe can either oppress or established free any man or lady in the world. The apparel worn only symbolizes the option of the person and how they opt to portray themselves to the world., as they signify her faith and belief in Allah and his Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H). These very hijabs are mentioned in the Quran as the way for a girl to outfits and each Muslim lady who chooses to wear them feels proud and honoured to be a part of the faith.

These hijabs are definitely not a sign of repression and have to not be considered as such either by the Europe. As a subject of fact, they represent the respect, esteem and value imparted to us by the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H).
