OKOATA:Islamic teaching means torture. That method of teaching makes most muslims to be callous. |
Princesaha:Security agents are confused now. They have lost it. |
Muslims are shameless people. CAN leadership who signed agreement had foresight. |
thebosstrevor1:In the Qur'an, the term hijab refers to a partition or curtain in the literal or metaphorical sense. The verse where it is used literally is commonly understood to refer to the curtain separating visitors to Muhammad's house from his wives' lodgings. This had led some to argue that the mandate of the Qur'an to wear hijab applied to the wives of Muhammad, and not women generally. |
thebosstrevor1:Not Islamic dress but Arabic. Hijab predated islam. Your brain cannot comprehend complex information. |
LegendHero:Check meaning of uniform in your dictionary. I repeat no Islamic schools will allow non-Muslims without a form of head coverings not necessary hijab. |
LegendHero:Muslims will not allow any non-muslims to attend muslim schools without wearing head coverings. If you know of any school that allow non-muslims without head coverings, let us know. Hijab is one of many forms of head coverings. Hijab is arabic culture not Islamic. Allowing hijab negates the meaning of uniform. Uniform- the distinctive clothing worn by members of the same organization or body or by children attending certain schools. |
thebosstrevor1:You mean Jewish dressing not Christian dressing. In christianity, women should only cover their heads when praying. 2 cor 11:4-6. 4Every man who prays or prophesieswith his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. |
thebosstrevor1:The term “Hijab” is reiterated seven times in the Qur'an referring each time exactly to the same meaning. “Hijab” means curtain, separation, wall and, in other words, anything that hides, masks and protects something[i]. But the verse that has been most often used to prove the "obligation" of veiling for women and that mentions the term Hijab is the following: " O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal… And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a separation (Hijab)" Quran 33; 53. As indicated here, the Hijab concerns only the wives of the Prophet and meets a circumstantial requirement in order to respect the private life of the Prophet. Besides, it does not represent, in any way, a particular model of clothing. The essence of this requirement aimed, mainly, to educate Arabs of that time to respect the privacy of people and good manners. It is therefore quite clear that the term Hijab does not absolutely refer to the meaning given nowadays as the scarf that should cover the head. The Hijab has nothing to do with any Islamic female dress. It is rather a symbol of separation between public life and private life at the time of the Prophet. It aimed to make of the prophet's wives Mothers of the Believers. There is another verse that mentions a term that stands for the scarf. This verse says: "... And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not to expose their adornment (zinatahuna) except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers (Khumurihina) over their chests (Juyubihina) and not to expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons” Quran 24;31 The term Khumurihina (plural of Khimar) stated in this verse refers to the scarf that women used to wear in the Arabian Peninsula and in all the other civilizations at that time. The Qur'an invites the believing women to fold their scarves (Khimar) over their chests (Juyubihina) to cover the upper part of their busts when they are in public. In fact, the classical commentaries report that the Arab women of Mecca used to uncover their neck and upper chest. For this reason, the Qur’an invited the believing women to fold the sides of the Khimar over their busts. The majority of Muslim scholars and exegetes agreed that the believing women must cover their hair by putting on a Khimar and leave only their faces and hands uncovered in the presence of men who do not have a direct family relationship with them. Since there is a difference between Hijab and Khimar, we have the right to ask why do we keep using the term Hijab for what has been named in the Qur'an scarf or Khimar? This error is currently made unwillingly and mostly reproduced unconsciously, but it is worth mentioning that this semantic shift was not made innocently or casually throughout the history of the Islamic intellectual production. The semantic shifts are usually the result of incorrect translations and interpretations and socio-cultural factors, which aimed at one point in history to create "made-to-measure" concepts to serve the political interests. And this is what happened with Hijab when it was imposed on Muslim women by inserting it willingly in the register of Islamic body ethics. When we go back to the origin of the term Hijab, which means to "hide" or "separate", and notice the changing process that it has undergone to bear the name "scarf", we have the right to wonder if this concept was given this double meaning to religiously justify the isolation of Muslim women. The "Hijab" was imposed on Muslim women as a way of "separation" in order to show them their place in society, and exclude them, in the name of Islam, from the socio-political sphere. Thus, replacing the Khimar with Hijab means to confuse different and opposing semantic and conceptual fields in order to endorse, in the name of Islam, the exclusion of women from the sociopolitical space behind a curtain! Indeed, to substitute the Khimar with the Hijab is to confuse two different registers. While Khimar remains, according to the Qur’anic vision, a sign of women’s social visibility, Hijab undoubtedly symbolizes their relegation to the private space. In fact, the first Muslim women put on the Khimar as part of the Qur’anic message of liberation and a symbol of dignity. This global vision and the holistic approach of the spiritual message of the Qur'an are important and even essential to understand the deep meaning of these verses. It is not the Khimar -that existed before revelation- which is important, but rather its new meaning and the context in which it was revealed. The Khimar, according to its original meaning of women's liberation and as a symbol of their participation along with men in the socio-political space, was therefore gradually replaced by the other Qur'anic concept of Hijab to prevent women from participating in the social field. By considering Hijab as sacred and disregarding the Islamic vocabulary of Khimar, a new Islamic social code is invented to endorse the separation of men and women. By "veiling" women, they will lose all the rights acquired at the advent of Islam. And the "veil" or Hijab will remain the single powerful indicator of the deterioration of Muslim women’s legal status, since they will be secluded and excluded from the public space, in the name of this symbol... Finally, the confusion between Khimar and Hijab is politically delicate and serves, above all, the interests of different ideologies including radical Muslims, supporters of the official Islam of states and the modern Islamophobia which joyfully criticizes the "veil" or Hijab considered today as the banner of Islam... Unfortunately, the whole Qur'anic ethics seem today to be reduced to women’s dress and body, to the way they should be covered, the color, thickness and uniformity of the dress ... However, given that the Qur’an did not insist on a specific clothing or appearance for women, it would be very simplistic to analyze the few verses on the dress far from the guidance of the spiritual message about the global body ethics for both men and women. The Qur'an invites both men and women to behave with "decency" and "integrity", both physically and morally. The Qur'an does not legislate a strictly religious "uniform" as it is shown here, and the first spiritual message did not intend to stipulate rigid or "fixed" dress standards once and for all, but rather to "recommend" an "attitude" or an "ethic" regarding the body and soul. But it is really unfortunate that the first intention of the spiritual message of Islam is often neglected or completely ignored at the expense of a literal reading which keeps no more than "the obligation of wearing the Hijab” out of all the Qur'anic teachings about women! This contradicts the principles of the spiritual message and its spiritual ethics. The question of Khimar or scarf is not part of the pillars of Islam, but rather of moral values, behavior and relational ethics. The religious faith is meaningful only when it is practiced without pressure. Therefore, speaking about the obligation of Islam to wear a headscarf or Khimar is spiritually unacceptable because the Qur'an said: "No compulsion in religion." It is one of the main principles of Islam. Reducing the whole global Qur'anic body ethics to the so-called "veil" is to stand against the same message. And this is exactly what happened in the Islamic history by focusing on woman’s dress, and the obligation to "hide" and "conceal "her body. As a result, this spiritual symbol has become a sign of oppression in the Muslim world. Source: theconversation |
Macphenson:Stupid southerners aligned with the north to vote him out just as north and some southerners also voted obj instead of olu falae in 1999 presidential election. Amaechi, okorocha, and Tinubu championed revolution against GEJ. |
LegendHero:Can non-muslims attend Muslim schools without head coverings? Why is that issue of hijab is now coming up? New brand of islam? They would never allow that. |
SporaD8:He would not reply. He ran away. Islam is about power and politics. Islam is more of political institution than religion . Every Muslim practices jihad in various forms . War is a form. Hijab is a form. Helping only muslims is a form. Selling products or providing services to muslims at a cheaper rate is form. Creating and lying to non-muslims is a form. Marrying non-Muslim girls is a form. |

Vl3ly:Will school bearing islamic name allow a christian student in their school without headscaf? |
We can stop Hijab controversy in our schools by either abolishing hijab completely or cancel uniform entirely for pupils or students. Uniforms should be uniform. It prevents discrimination. Non-muslims cannot go to Muslim schools without covering their heads. Muslims should not go to Christian schools with hijabs. It will cause anarchy |
