The practice when Islam took over is not ancient ni?

Besides, Face cover was a fashion for women during pre-islamic era, it is commonly used in Persia, Egypt, India especially those snake belly dancers. wink

Wearing Niqab is an Islamic practice that is not compulsory.. No woman should be forced to wear it. But if she chooses to, nobody should make her remove it. simple

Plsss don't let us comment without proof. there is no culture in pre Islamic era dt says women should cover their faces. Hence it was coomnandment in the holy Quran by Allah DT all women believers shiuld cover their face. if u cannot do it don't condemn it becos condemibg it is a sin to Allah on its own. Hence covering of face is compulsory only on Muslim women believer(Muminat).

Q: What is the ruling upon a person mocking the one who wears correct legislated (Shar'ee) Ḥijāb and describing it as a 'moving tent' and labelling it with words of mockery other than that?

al-Lajnah ad-Dā'imah (The Permanent Committee For Islamic Research And Fatāwāof Saudi Arabia) replied: “Whoever makes fun of a believing woman or a believing man due to their clinging onto Sharī'ah (legislation) of Islām then he is a Kāfir (disbeliever), it is the same if he mocks a Muslim woman for her legislated covering or anything other than that (of Islāmic practices)...”

Like have said covering the face was a fashion for women during pre-Islamic era and commonly used in Egypt, Persia, India, Israel and their neighboring nations. Even covering the head was also a practice before Islam came.









These are pictures of Asian belly dancers, does belly dance started when Islam came? Belly dance is an ancient cultural art long before Islam came and this is how they cover their faces.

OK, Wearing of veil and covering the face is part of belly dance costume, it is/was a culture in different nations.

And I never mentioned there are no commandment for women to wear veil or cover their faces in Quran, I'm saying it was a practice before Islam came.

Read:

From pre-Islamic times until the 800s, professional dancers, musicians, and singers in the Middle East belonged to the slave caste. The majority of professional musicians, including singers, were female slaves, and they were often called “Qaina.” (Even in recent times, the majority of professional entertainers come from the lower classes, and both of these facts are part of the reason why there is still a stigma today against being a professional entertainer in the Middle East.)
Source

The Dance of the Seven Veils
Consider the myth of the Seven Veils of Ishtar. This legend began in 4,500 BC, out of fear that winter might never end. It’s a tale found, with variations, in a number of different cultures. The essential idea of a ” belly dancing” woman, however, remains intact in all.
A Babylonian goddess of love and sensuality, Ishtar represented all women. She was chaste, yet fertile. She was a life-giver and a great nurturer, yet she was known as the mother of darkness and destruction.
According to the story, Ishtar’s husband dies and descends into the land of darkness, (in some cases referred to as the ” womb of the Earth” ). Ishtar covers her body with seven veiled costumes, and sets off to retrieve her husband.
Appropriately dressed, she deceives her way into the underworld, through forty-nine gates. To gain admission at each seventh gate, she dances in a way that emphasizes her abdomen, rolling it in circles. Each time she does so, she gives up a jewel and a veil.
When she returns with her husband and her seven veils, the people celebrate and the crops flourish.


The Veil Prevails.
Throughout the history of the belly dance, veils have been worn to conceal the body, which symbolizes both sexuality and worldliness. In Muslim society, modern Arab women are still required to wear veils in obedience to Islam.

Source

Wearing of veil is not obligatory during pre-islamic era.

Dressing half nakêd is part of Africa culture in history, so don't fault those that dress half nakèd especially the traditionalist. There is no constitutional law stopping people from from dressing anyhow they like or do you see police arresting people dressing half nakèd? It is only in the northern Nigeria they flog them following Sharia law.

The Jewish book also command women to cover up before Quran came.

Quran is not a historical book, it doesn't give details about huaman history, it is just some stories of Jewish and Arab people.

And as for your last statement, there is no existence of Quran during Plato, Aristotle era, I don't know how you came to you conclusion. undecided

We are not in a authoritarian regimes or in Sharia law state.

How does it overrule historical event when it is only Muslims that believe in the book?

These commandments are only for Muslims that was revealed to someone in the middle east.

Anyone who has common sense will see that the Niqab used by those belly dancers is different from the niqab Islam enjoined.

The Muslim woman's niqab is a result of chastity, so it should be free from adornments unlike these face covers.

Secondly, the fact that it had been in existence before Islam doesn't proof that it's not part of Islam.
Hospitality and charity was a part of Arab culture before Islam came, that didn't make it a less important act of worship.

The laws of Islam can be divided into three categories:

# Ones in existence and Islam came to improve such as charity, goodness to family etc

# Ones in existence that Islam came to abolish such as singing, dancing and calling on other than Allah.

#Ones not in existence but Islam brought it new such as the science of hadith. Added to this category are those laws that Islam modified such as the modifications to the hajj pilgrimage, Solah and fasting etc.


Allah knows best.

Also, whoever is not sufficed by the Quran has no right to call himself a Muslim.

Allah says:

Surah Al-Ankaboot, Verse 51:
أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ أَنَّا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَرَحْمَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Is it not sufficient for them that We have sent down to you the Book (the Quran) which is recited to them? Verily, herein is mercy and a reminder (or an admonition) for a people who believe.
(English - Mohsin Khan)

via iQuran

Also, Islam is the religion that first existed on earth, it is the religion of our fathers; Adam, Ibrahim, Nuh, Musa, Eesa etc so it's possible that these face veils used by these belly dancers is a remnant of the laws of past prophets and a result of their distortion of the messages sent to them through their messengers.

Don't you see that many Muslim women of today have distorted the hijab brought to them by the Quran by reducing it to short scarves, parsh and caps etc.

As - salam alykum my elders in Islam


Please I need more explanation on this thread

Is there any punishment from Allah ,for those who doesn't cover their face after married

wa alykumussalam wa rahmatuLLaah wa barakaatuh.

Though I'm not an elder but I'll try to give adequate response. upon Allah alone I rely.

Firstly, niqab has nothing to do with being married or not, many of the people believe that it's the husband that veils his wife, this is very wrong and is baseless in the Deen. On the contrary, niqab has to do with maturity. Once a woman attains puberty she has to use the niqab if she is of the opinion that it's compulsory. Allah knows best.

Secondly, The scholars are divided in the issue of niqab, some say it's obligatory and the implication of this is that whoever doesn't use it is committing a sin and is liable to being punished in the grave or hell but such a person will never be in hell forever because no believer will be in hell forever.
This is the opinion of Sheikh Ibn Baaz and Sheikh Uthymeen and many other scholars.

The second opinion is that it's recommended. The implication of this is that whoever doesn't use it is depriving herself of great reward but will not be punished in any way just like the one who doesn't fast Mondays and Thursdays.
This is the opinion of Imam Albany and many of his students. This is the opinion I hold not because I think it's simple but because it's the one I see to be more supported by evidences from the Quran and sunnah.

Note: my wife uses niqab even before I married her. and Sheikh Albany's wives and daughters too use niqab.
So it's a matter of knowledge and evidence not whims, ignorance and dim-wittedness as some have displayed.

Allah knows best.

The practice of face cover and veil are not new or alien to the Arabs when Islam came, what's divine about it?

Also, Islam is the religion that first existed on earth, it is the religion of our fathers; Adam, Ibrahim, Nuh, Musa, Eesa etc so it's possible that these face veils used by these belly dancers is a remnant of the laws of past prophets and a result of their distortion of the messages sent to them through their messengers.

Sorry oga, Islam is not the first existing religion on earth, it is funny how I believed this fallacy in the past. Hinduism is the oldest religion next to Zoroastrianism, even Judaism is far far older than Islam. Non of these religion know anything about Islam.

Usage of veils and face cover started among pagan practice.

Let's say the reality true and fact and stop deceiving ourselves.
