Sister’s parties!!!

Now I have to talk a little bit about this because it is something widespread these days and has to be adressed.

Now Islam has allowed freedoms for the woman that have not been allowed for other women even up to today. Unfortunately, some sisters do not think that the freedoms that Allah gave them is enough therefore they indulge in what is called sister’s parties.

This is how it is done. A flier is put out for sisters to go by so and so’s house and then they have a big blowout. Or what my friend Jibreel from England used to call a ’shack out’. A party so to speak where there is Music, wining, grinding etc.  Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you that this is Haraam. In another post I will put the details inshallah in terms of evidences however for now I will just say something to get our sisters thinking.

The nature of the woman, especially the Muslim woman is to be Afeefah (meaning to be modest) and that is why she wears the Hijaab. This is because Hijaab (I should say proper Hijaab) is not only a piece of cloth that veils the bossoms of a woman but in addition it is a symbol of modesty and chastity for the Muslim woman and this should be reflected with her behaviour.

Now a simple question to you bloggers. When a woman shakes like a chac chac and wines and whatever else they do with music that orders one to do so is this corresponding to this modesty, purity and chastity which Allah has ordered or is it an action that contradicts what this dress symbolizes?

Again no focus on behaviour or what is on the inside. It is rather unfortunate that the foucs is to present a facade rather than what is real. This is why Allah said in Surah ‘Aaraf: “Oh children of Aadam we gave you clothing to cover your bodies and as a decoration, and the clothing of fear of Allah is better”. Yes, the clothing of Taqwa (fear of Allah) is better as it decorates the Muslim because he/she does what Allah commands, stays away from what he forbids and does not pass his bounds.
