WHAT IS “PROPER” PURDAH?

Physical Purdah vs Internal Purdah

HOW WE DO IT?

THE HOLY QUR’AN SURAH AN-NUR

"Say to the believing women that they restrain their looks and guard their private parts, and that they display not their beauty or their embellishment except that which is apparent thereof, and that they draw their head coverings over their bosoms....." (24:32)

"Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do." (24:31)

O Prophet! tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers that they should draw close to them portions of their loose outer coverings. That is nearer that they may thus be distinguished and not molested. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful. [33:60]

THE HOLY QUR’AN SURAH AL-AHZAB

“We should let the world know that Purdah is for the honor of a lady although some have distorted its form. Purdah is to uphold a lady’s honor. It is in the nature of women to wish for respect and Islam champions the dignity of women. Purdah is not coercion; it marks the individuality of Muslim women and upholds their honor.  Ahmadi Muslim girls should not feel any concern in this matter. If they feel uncomfortable in light of the negative propaganda or choose to follow trends and abandon their Purdah then there can be no guarantee of their respect. Their respect is tied with the respect of faith.”

Friday Sermon, April 23, 2010

“Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out”

ones that look strong have weak moments. That is why we should ALWAYS pray to Allah that may HE gives us the strength to do purdah as HE pleases.
