THE NIQAAB IS NOT A LICENCE FOR IMMORALITY
A SISTER’S NASEEHAT
A Niqaabi Sister, commenting on the evils behind the Niqaab of women who are bereft of Fear for Allah Ta’ala says:
Assalamu AlaikumWa Rahmatullahi WaBarakaatuhu
Throughout the years, I’ve always heard about how “harsh” The Majlis is, “lambasting” people and “degrading” Ulama etc.
I never thought of it like that, having read The Majlis from childhood and being raised by a mother who read the Majlis from her childhood. I wondered why I couldn’t see the “harshness etc” and thought that perhaps I am desensitized to it. I was wrong. The older I am getting, the more love and compassion I see and feel in the writings of The Majlis.
As a woman who wears niqab, reading things like, “prostitute tendencies, etc” I can only confirm the truth behind it, I don’t feel any offense. It’s true. Women crave attention, and will do weird things to get it! They even imagine sometimes that people’s attention is focused on them. So they unfortunately will speak louder when males are around, or laugh unnecessarily, or entertain advances from men by pretending to shoo them away, or by having “intellectual” debates online with men, or rivalling men in wanting to be at the forefront of everything, etc, etc, also not sparing a thought if the man is married, or for his wife and how she would feel if she knew some random woman was trying to get her husband’s attention.
I say this from a Niqabi point of view and there are mostly Niqabi women in my circle. So is this not prostituting themselves? (Yes, most certainly it is so. Rasulullah – Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) explained that zina has different dimensions – The Majlis) I am only saying this because I see this in myself too.
It’s something we have to fight against so we don’t fall under the category of being Nets of Shaytaan. There’s no need for an uproar.
A lady who is considered very morally upright and well put together told me recently that she tried to catch the attention of a married man, just for the fun of it, but not meaning anything by it, because she thinks he is good looking, by joking with him and laughing at whatever he said. I gently tried to tell her how wrong that was in so many ways and she later came to speak to me about how I made her out to be a home-wrecker and everyone knows that is definitely not who she is. (Zina for ‘fun’? This is entirely new to us. If this woman who had exhibited her prostitutional tendencies in such a despicable manner had even a vestige of fear for Allah Ta’ala, never would she even hallucinate to perpetrate the immoral villainy which for her was a ‘joke’ for ‘fun’. But when this joke and fun will be compensated in day with the Fire of Jahannam, she will then understand the gravity of her satanism, but it will be too late and of no avail. – The Majlis)
A woman who speaks loudly and laughs to attract a man’s attention with full knowledge that he is married to someone else, certainly shows home-wrecking tendencies. But we are blind to our faults and maybe it’s because parents coddle their children too much, and now the truth as adults is something unbearable and “harsh”.
The advices of The Majlis to women make me realize that my own father is not so concerned about my Aakhirah as The Majlis is. I don’t say this in a disrespectful tone to my father, and fathers in general who would rather be quiet to “keep the peace” and let their children stray, but the fact of the matter is that care and concern of The Majlis for the Ummah are so so much above and beyond the “harshness and extreme vocabulary etc” when speaking nothing but the TRUTH and certainly nothing in comparison to Allah’s wrath and fire of Jahannam which The Majlis is warning about, if we don’t see the error of our ways and hasten to do something about it.
Jazakallahu Ahsanal Jazaa Fid Daarain ! May Allah always bless The Majlis with His Love and Mercy in both worlds and may our hearts always be ever receptive of pearls of wisdom scattered by The Majlis.

Comment
Alhamdulillah! Innumerable Muslims from all walks of life have come to understand and appreciate the Amr Bil Ma’roof Nahyi Anil Munkar style of The Majlis. Our style in fact is the style of the Qur’aan and Sunnah. The circumstances of this era of supreme Fitnah and Fasaad, fisq, fujoor and kufr constrain a methodology which ostensibly appear to be ‘harsh’ whilst in reality it is inspired by the Qur’aan, Sunnah and the benevolence for the Ummah.
In the absence of the methodology of The Majlis, the fate of Muslims, including the Ulama and Buzrugs, will be destruction and deracination as was the fate of the city which was obliterated by the Athaab of Allah Azza Wa Jal despite the presence of such a Buzrug/Aabid who had not disobeyed Allah Ta’ala in any way and at any time. But Allah Ta’ala commanded Jibraeel (Alayhis salaam) to destroy the entire city along with this holy Aabid.
In the light of the Qur’aan and Sunnah, Alhamdulillah, The Majlis is a Shield for the Muslim community. It is among the Barriers of Allah Ta’ala acting as a Shield to stave off the Athaab overhanging this absolutely corrupt, treacherous, immoral community. But this function of The Majlis is destined for termination.
Women of Islam should understand that the Niqab is not the be-all of Hijaab. The Niqaab is a Waajib requisite of the Qur’aanic concept of Hijaab. It is just one essential item of Hijaab. Due to gross ignorance and total moral (Akhlaaqi) bankruptcy, women regard the Niqaab as a licence for the perpetration of all acts which are in violation of Hijaab and the objective of Hijaab.
They should understand that Allah Ta’ala is aware of the surreptious movements of their eyes behind the Niqaab; that there are two Recording Angels at their sides; that Allah Ta’ala is aware of the innermost immoral fantasies of their minds for which their hearts lust. For all such obscene villainy they are accountable on that Day when everything they had hidden here will be publicly exhibited. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’aan Majeed:
“He is aware of the misuse of the eyes and that which the breasts conceal.”
