- In our last video in this series, Dr. Shabir Ally defined the terms used in Quran 24:31. Now he explains its instructions. He says the verse does not offer a clear definition of what Muslim women should cover and leave exposed, which means God intended it to be vague. He explains that the earliest Muslims drew inferences from the verse based on how they already dressed and saw others dressing, and eventually their inferences became law. He cautions that what we have as Islamic law came to be codified in the 2nd and 3rd centuries of Islam, so we should not assume that Islamic law is reflective of how the earliest Muslims understood the verse. In this case, the verse in its plain meaning does not match up with the clothing uniform that classical Islamic law prescribes for women.

He's very logical & practical in all his explanations
The Dr is taking a slow & steady approach, my gut tells me this is going to be an amazing series. Can't wait to see how he explains verse 60 of Surah An Nur and the hadiths related to hijab in his upcoming videos.
Please brother can u explain the verse in this verse it is said that let them draw their garments to cover their bosoms and not to display their adornment except what must appear their off and do not strike your legs in order to draw attention to your hidden adornments " I mean what is this hidden adornment referring to??
I'm in a confusion plz explain brother
@@sherinham Sure. This is from Muhammad Asad's commentary of the verse:
❝so that those of their charms which they keep hidden may become known.” The phrase yadribna bi-arfulihinna is idiomatically similar to the phrase daraba bi-yadayhi fī mishyatihi, “he swung his arms in walking” (quoted in this context in Tāj al-‘Arūs). and alludes to a deliberately provocative gait.❞
NO ladies’HIJAB found in the Quran.
The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but not for ladies.
Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found)
In Quran 33.59 - “ … JILBAB over themselves…”
in Quran 24.31 - “… Khimar over the Jayb..”
The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31
- Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING,
it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc.
There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran,
transliteration of Q24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna”
[Plurals : khumur, juyoob]
Quran 24.31 (see the part of the verse they say has hijab )
// *..put forth the Khimars OVER THE JAYBs…*//
KHIMAR = COVERING
and
JAYB just means OPENING
- like an opening in a dress, deep-neck, like shirt pocket - is a jayb
To verify from the Quran
check this example in
//Quran 28.32 (part)
“…. yadaka fee jayb’ika …”. //
“… put your hand in your Jayb..” (clearly a pocket or opening in the dress)
(or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is.
Look at where the importance is in the verse:
“COVERING over the Jayb”
- but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB
- by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - gradually shifting the importance of COVERING the Jayb
- giving importance away from the Jayb seems like distraction from the main emphasis.
- AND also these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings
- please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from?
We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran
- in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran
- see where the word is used again.
QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings).
They should know when the same root word is used for intoxicants even then it’s used for “COVER”
- - any intoxicant or alcohol
COVERS the ability INSIDE THE MIND - -
Please NOTE : khumur /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head.
How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands?
They’re Spreading culture and calling it religion - They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion
OTHER religious groups were ALREADY wearing it in the desert.
IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran
AND they should not add words in translations.
JILBAB:
Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB
The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED”
So the condition is to be recognised :
how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully?
- So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran.
Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed.
Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY.

I think it is a test from Allah for all of us. He know the best and He is only one who judge also. Definitely If Allah would like to make it clear. It will be clear like many verses especially main clearly faiths that No one is worthy to worship but Allah, There is no God but Allah, The Most Merciful.

As a person with a jurist doctorate degree, it is SO refreshing to hear someone with the requisite skill on research and analysis to explain a Quranic verse. As a lawyer, I can say that the verse was most certainly left vague without clear guidelines of how it should be observed. I honestly believe it was left vague to expose devious women from those who are respectable to themselves. Women know what is attractive about their bodies and Allah left it up to us to be modest or choose otherwise. Hair can be considered an adornment for some women, but not all. Just like women can be physically attractive depending on the social construct of beauty of the particular era. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but we can all agree that private parts are for sure to be covered no matter what religion you practice. I also think not all societies have the same definition of beauty and so Allah left it vague so that His Word can be for all women, not just Arab women. But without a doubt, each woman knows what men find attractive about her. So the onerous is on her to protect herself by adhering to Allah’s guidance or to put herself in harm depending on her societal norms.
I would love to see a further analysis on all verses in the Quran that refer to clothing in all variations and not just as it relates to the evolved construct of “hijab.” I think we will have a better picture of how Allah intends clothing to be overall. When I reviewed them all in their totality, I realized why Allah’s verses can only be understood from the heart.
well said 👍👍👍
You said everything I feel very well 👏
Wow...when I first read the quran, the parts that were evident to me to be covered were those that African men would lewdly call me out on. I never thought (as discovered later) that even ankles, legs, neck, and hands included those. Yes, I believe it differs culture to culture and person to person. I mean, if I discover that my eyes have a particular sexual quality, I would hide them in spectacles, but they do not. Culture to culture, region to region, person to person, it differs. *****For instance, I have heard stories of how some men have a strange sexual fascination with Arabic women in niqabs with dark mascara.....women in those places should not be in the niqab/wear mascara for that reason.
You being a lawyer gives you the authority to make tafsir???
So , if understood anything then tell me :
Is Hijab mandatory or not?
very cool scholar!
So, from what we know, verse 24:31 was instruction based on what was the tradition at the time, yet intentionally vague for other traditions or future generations. This means that Islamic Law should be flexible on the meanings of the verses.
Thanks for another great video! I am glad that someone of your knowledge is speaking the words of the Quran. Islam originated in the Arabs but is found throughout the world. Women have many different roles in different parts of the world, such as farming etc. which would mean that the clothing would have to be practical and not necessarily the same as those women who lived in Arabia at the time and had slaves/servants to perform/help with their daily duties. For example, rural women in Pakistan, Africa, India etc. dress based on their climate and the type of work that needs to be performed in their daily lives. You couldn't wear a cloak while trying to plow a rice field etc. Allah, the all knowing, emphasized characteristics of modesty including the divergence of eyes and staying away from lewdness, and immodesty/immorality in the way you speak/dress and carry yourself in public and left the specifics of the clothing (besides what is mentioned in the Quran) open-ended.
Please can u explain the last part of the verse "do not strike your leg in order to draw attention to your hidden adornments" What is this hidden adornment referring to??
I'm confused please can u explain
Al hamduli'llah. You hit the nail on the head.
@@sherinham hidden adornments like anklets ie chains worn around the ankles. They make a tinkling sound. As an example you could search for traditional female dancers from India. You’ll see dancers wear anklets.
@@shadowguard3578
But when I read the verse completely to me it appears like refraining from any kind of sexual tension. The Arabic word used to describe beauty and adornment is 'Zeenatuhunna ' in quran . And when I looked into the explanations it says women's private parts ( buttocks) but that is so disturbing right . Comparing women's private part as adornment is sexualizing & objectifying women
According to your explanations adornments are ankles but why it should be forbidden?
"Do not draw attention to your hidden adornment or charms ( zeenatuhunnah)"
That's what the verse says
Please clarify I'm really confused

“… put forth the KHIMAR over the Jayb…”
See the importance of :
“COVER over the JAYB “
Did you notice how they SHIFTED the IMPORTANCE of Covering the Jayb? Away from the Jayb to the head and now most people think God wants a cover on the head.

No one knows
All are just guess work
Nothing vague here they just don’t like the fact that the Quran doesn’t endorse their views. Only 2 parts that necessarily need to be covered and that’s breast and privates. I dare anyone to get anything else from this verse.
Many people say this verse explicitly tells women to cover their heads. He says the verse is vague in regards to head covering, because it doesn’t have any clear cut order for women to cover their heads unlike what other people claim to be.
@@autumnleaf7953 it’s not vague then Is it. The command is either there or it’s not. To say it’s vague suggests that it could be understood as such putting the blame back on the Quran.
@@autumnleaf7953 The verse, read as is, in the Quran, is vague. In comparison, here is a verse in the bible on women's head cover. 1 Corinthians 11:6 states as follows, " For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head." I think that is pretty crystal clear compared to this vague verse in the Quran!
I agree with you. Verse doesn’t say to cover the head and the proof uncles of woman are not mentioned in the verses. Some people say ابائهم و اباء بعولتهن included the uncles but if this is true, then اباءبعولتهن means uncles of her husband.
Zernah simply means what was added by Allah to the creation of a human to make him female or male.
Honest question..so it basically means women can wear bikini? Since it covers both
What the Right hand possesses( upholding her part- as in upholding the Law of Allah ).
Isn't there paintings and drawings of what people back then used to wear?
Even if it is there, it has nothing to do with Islam, the culture is different from religious rules
I have a question. I wear loose pants and shirts and a coat over my clothes, i don't cover my head. Is this being modest? I mean i don't wear tight shirts and pants or tight dress. To cover my chet i use a jacket.
In his older videos from 2016 & 2017 he said that not covering the head isn't sinful, & you can be modest without hijab or covering your head.

Mandatory
@@Mymymt he’s saying it’s not
It's covering of chest is mandatory. Covering hair isn't a part of the "adorments" just body.
What about the word khimar then? This verse says to get your head covering and cover your breasts, does that mean that the head covering is mandatory because you need to use to cover your chest? Because otherwise wouldn't the quran say to just not wear clothes that expose your cleavage?
Good morning,
From what I understand of that verse, women in those days were already wearing veils and head coverings. However, this was not because of religion it was a tradition/culture.
Their veils never used to cover their breasts so that's why they were told to cover their breast.
I know people will have different opinions and beliefs on this but that's life.
I hope this helps. Also, I really like to study the history of that time as well and I believe people fail to actually study and end up recreating something that's not written or how it was meant to be. 🌟
@@SabeeraHausa I was thinking about that too, but then I thought, if the Quran is meant as a guide for all time for all people, wouldn't Allah be more specific then? He would know other people don't wear veils because not everyone lives in the desert. Therefore he could've just said to wear a dress that doesn't show cleavage, wouldn't need to mention the veil at all, but he did mention the veil in a book meant for people with vastly different cultures and customs. Idk I'm still undecided in this.
Covering hair isn't a part of the command. The command is to cover chest. And body so u don't appear naked infront of people. Before Islam women used to dress almost naked.

The Question
Question: I was told that Muslim women must cover their hair but I could not find where it says that anywhere in the Qur’an or Hadith. Is it okay if I just wear modest clothing but without covering my hair?
Summarized Answer
It is an obligation for Muslim women to cover their hair in public. This is very clearly mentioned in the Qur’an where it says: “Tell the believing women to…draw their headscarves over their chests…” [Qur’an 24:31]. The verse makes it clear that women are not only required to wear a headscarf, which primarily serves the purpose of covering the head, but to wear it in a specific way.
Background of the Issue
It is a mercy from Allah that He taught us what etiquette would be best for society. Within those teachings He has mandated a dress code for both men and women. However, with the increasing pressure of the modern fashion industry the Islamic dress code for women in particular is being questioned by many Muslims. I have observed many people arguing that it is not an obligation for a woman to cover her head [this is known today as wearing ḥijāb]. In fact, I myself used to argue the same position prior to embarking on a more detailed study of Islam.
One of the arguments commonly used for such a position is that the verse does not specifically say to cover the hair but rather speaks of only covering the chest. Another argument used is that the word ḥijāb, which is commonly used for headscarf nowadays, doesn’t mean headscarf in the Qur’an. A third argument is the assumption that the issue of women covering their hair is open to different interpretations and it is therefore a matter of valid scholarly disagreement whether it is an obligation or merely a recommendation.
None of the aforementioned arguments are strong. Covering the hair for a woman is a clear obligation in Islam and she will be sinful for abandoning the practice, unless there are extreme circumstances which warrant an exception to the general rule. It is very important for every Muslim to know the dress code that is required of them so they will be accurately practicing the teachings of Islam.
Detailed Answer
The Qur’anic verse obligating women to cover their hair is as follows: “Tell the believing women to…draw their headscarves over their chests…” [Qur’an 24:31] Different translations of the Qur’an have rendered the Arabic word khumur [singular: khimār] as ‘veils’ [Yusuf Ali], ‘scarves’ [Abdul Majid Daryabadi] and ‘shawls’ [Taqi Usmani]. Even though it is common to use the word ḥijāb nowadays to refer to the headscarf, the word used in the Qur’an was khimār. It is important to understand that the word used only has the meaning of a headscarf, and not any other article of clothing. It cannot refer to a scarf that is draped around the neck nor to a shawl that is used to cover other parts of the body.
The word khimār [meaning headscarf] is similar to the word ‘hat’. Both of them are used to cover the head. Therefore, if someone were to say, “make sure your hat covers your ears,” the covering of the head would automatically be implied in the sentence because that is what the function of a hat is. Were someone to argue that since the head was not explicitly mentioned, they could dangle a hat off each ear and this would fulfill what the speaker said, it would be dismissed as ridiculous. Likewise is the case of someone who assumes the verse is telling women to use a headscarf to only cover their chest area and not their head. This should serve as a sufficient answer to people who ask, “Where does Allah tell women to cover the hair in the Qur’an?”
One might ask why Allah used this manner of speaking. Why didn’t He just mention that women must cover their hair, in plain and clear wording, so that there would be no confusion among people today? In order to answer such a question, the historical context in which the Qur’an was revealed must be understood. Women in many parts of the world used to cover their hair. In Arabia, they used a headscarf which would cover their hair and then they would drape the ends of that scarf behind their shoulders.[1] The verse clarified to women that this is not sufficient for modesty because the neck and upper-chest areas are exposed, so they must drape their headscarves over their chest areas to make sure that part is covered as well. Since women were already covering their head there was no need to tell them to cover it again. The case is similar to a corporation that tells their employees the dress code at work requires everyone to ensure that their shirt is buttoned up to the top so that the upper-chest area is not exposed. It is common culture for people to already wear shirts to work so there is no need to explain to these employees that the shirt must cover their entire back, stomach and chest areas: that would be redundant and unnecessary.
Another angle to look at this issue from is to consider what the implications of the contrary argument would be. I have personally heard several people arguing that the ‘chest’ referred to in the verse is speaking about the breasts of a woman. The argument goes that Arab women used to not cover their breasts in public and the verse is ordering them to cover up. If this was the case, and if the verse required only covering the chest, as is claimed, then the rest of the verse would appear very problematic: “Tell the believing women to…draw their headscarves over their chests…except in front of their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons…” This reading would imply that a woman does not need to cover her chest [i.e. breasts] in front of all the male relatives mentioned. It is doubtful that people who make such an argument would be comfortable with such a conclusion.
The final point worth mentioning is that, as far as I know, no recognized Muslim scholar for at least a thousand years after the revelation of the Qur’an has ever made an argument to the contrary about women being required to cover their hair in public. Furthermore, no Arabic linguist, as far as I know, has ever argued that a khimār is anything but a head cover. This is significant because it would mean that people who do make such an argument, namely, that a headscarf is not a requirement, have discovered something which eluded Muslims for centuries. It has not been a matter of legitimate scholarly debate in the past and it is highly unlikely that something so significant, and public, would have been completely misunderstood for such a long time. It is more probable that people who do make such an argument are, intentionally or otherwise, using intellectual gymnastics to ‘reinterpret’ the Qur’an to mean something that it doesn’t.
Following the tenets of Islam is a choice. Choices should be grounded in accurate information. It is hoped that this explanation clarifies what the Qur’an really says on this issue.
It’s always better to verify with the Quran coz Quran is the clear guidance.
(Proving our point with history written centuries later would have to be kept aside when the Quran is clear)
NO “ladies’HIJAB” found in the Quran.
The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but not for ladies.
Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found)
In Quran 33.59 - “ … JILBAB over themselves…”
in Quran 24.31 - “… Khimar over the Jayb..”
The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31
- Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING,
it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc.
There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran,
transliteration of Q24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna”
[Plurals : khumur, juyoob]
Quran 24.31 (see the part of the verse they say has hijab )
// *..put forth the Khimars OVER THE JAYBs…*//
KHIMAR = COVERING
and
JAYB just means OPENING
- like an opening in a dress, deep-neck, like shirt pocket - is a jayb
To verify from the Quran
check this example in
//Quran 28.32 (part)
“…. yadaka fee jayb’ika …”. //
“… put your hand in your Jayb..” (clearly a pocket or opening in the dress)
(or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is.
Look at where the importance is in the verse:
“COVERING over the Jayb”
- but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB
- by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - gradually shifting the importance of COVERING the Jayb
- giving importance away from the Jayb seems like distraction from the main emphasis.
- AND also these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings
- please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from?
We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran
- in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran
- see where the word is used again.
QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings).
They should know when the same root word is used for intoxicants even then it’s used for “COVER”
- - any intoxicant or alcohol
COVERS the ability INSIDE THE MIND - -
Please NOTE : khumur /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head.
How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands?
They’re Spreading culture and calling it religion - They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion
OTHER religious groups were ALREADY wearing it in the desert.
IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran
AND they should not add words in translations.
JILBAB:
Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB
The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED”
So the condition is to be recognised :
how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully?
- So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran.
Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed.
Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY.
“… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna… “
--
//Quran 33.59
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBAB over themselves .
In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED
and not be HARASSED.
And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful//
--
Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also.
-
Some of them will not VERIFY what is in the Quran - word by word.
And you may get to see how they will jump to start calling IGNORANT and names to the person showing them the research.
@@sam_mirza but can you be sure about what the quran means by "khimar"? The comment you replied to even mentioned how people have tried to make it mean shawl or scarf, but it's clear that it exclusively means headscarf. Idk, I think it would be nice to see evidence of the word khimar being used for anything else besides headscarf during the prophet's time of the classical period.
God wanted vague words 😂😂😂😂😂
I am surprised the verse was even described as "vague" in this episode. The verse amounts to an itemized technical specification that clearly lists what is required, what is acceptable and what is prohibited.
The comment made about the interpretations of the schools of jurisprudence is quite astounding after this long explanation of what the verse says quite plainly in terms of the categories of people and what a woman can expose in front of them. The thing I didn't hear is what evidence or criteria supports the proclaimed "vagueness". I also don't understand why there is no addressing of the Serah and the Sunnah in the prophetic narrations. Is that an intended approach 🤔??
The series is not over yet. He will discuss more about this verse, the other verses, the hadiths & opinions of the classical scholars in his upcoming videos. Don't draw any conclusion right now
@@autumnleaf7953 thank you so much for this... ❤️
Some people will always watch just to find gaps in anything that this scholar says.
But then negativity never wins at the end of the day.
i think he described 'vague' the fact that you cant deduce from it how much you should cover your body. it doesnt clarify the discussion about niqab hijab ecc. But as a verse its very precise and clear
@@autumnleaf7953 we shall see, I am waiting for the evidence of this new and unprecedented interpretation.
@@nazmularafin6785
Quran (6:115) The Word of your Lord is perfect in truthfulness and justice; no one can change His words. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Once you review the language, the Serah and the Sunnah, scholars explanations as well as the historical conduct of Muslims until the early 20th century you will be sure that there is no basis for any new interpretation for this dress code.
Dr Shabbir what a terrible fitnah to say about the Quran.
The Quran says it is a crystal clear book al kitabul mubeen. You are saying the Quran can be vague.
The Quran says it is an enlightening book kitabul muneer. You are saying the Quran can be vague.
The Quran says it is a clear explanation for mankind 'haaza bayaanun lin naas". You say the Quran can be vague.
The Quran says 'today I have perfected your deen" or 'al yauma akmaltu deenukum'. But you are saying the Quran can be vague.
Dr Shabbir do you or do you not know that the word hijab appears 8 times in the Quran? If you wish to speak about hijab then please focus on these 8 verses in the Quran that mention hijab. Not once do the words hijab ever refer to the headcovering for women.
Out of those can you point a single verse that advocates the requirement of head/face cover.

@@QIsComingToYou-ew8yl
Narrated `Aisha:
The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqi` at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. `Umar used to say to the Prophet (ﷺ) "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam`a the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) went out at `Isha' time and she was a tall lady. `Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes). Bukhari 146.
Different strokes for different folks. The anti hijab fans (in the comments) unfortunetly don't care about hadiths or Quran they rather follow personalities the likes of shabir to fulfill there whims and desires rather follow the haqq. You xan bring all the evidence/proof from Quran and hadiths they rather go on youtube and take the views of guys called Javed Ghamdi, Khaled, shabir who say its not mandatory INNOVATORS . Its truly embarassing and ashame ppl don't fear Allah (swt) and sell there religion for a miserable price. 🤷♂️
The sunnah of the Prophet's wives is not mandatory to follow
@@mymuslimthoughts6903 Q33:59-62 Tafsir Kathir - Ibn Al Kathir
The Command of Hijab
Here Allah tells His Messenger to command the believing women -- especially his wives and daughters, because of their position of honor -- to draw their Jilbabs over their bodies, so that they will be distinct in their appearance from the women of the Jahiliyyah and from slave women. The Jilbab is a Rida', worn over the Khimar. This was the view of Ibn Mas`ud, `Ubaydah, Qatadah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, `Ata' Al-Khurasani and others. It is like the Izar used today. Al-Jawhari said: "The Jilbab is the outer wrapper. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said that Allah commanded the believing women, when they went out of their houses for some need, to cover their faces from above their heads with the Jilbab, leaving only one eye showing. Muhammad bin Sirin said, "I asked `Ubaydah As-Salmani about the Ayah:
يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَـبِيبِهِنَّ
(to draw their Jalabib over their bodies.) He covered his face and head, with just his left eye showing.''
@@mymuslimthoughts6903 Jalal - Al-Jalalayn
O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks closely over themselves (jalābīb is the plural of jilbāb, which is a wrap that covers a woman totally) - in other words, let them pull part of it [also] over their faces, leaving one eye [visible], when they need to leave [the house] for something. That makes it likelier that they will be known, to be free women, and not be molested, by being approached. In contrast, slavegirls did not use to cover their faces and so the disbelievers used to pester them. And God is Forgiving, of any occasion in the past when they may have neglected to cover themselves, Merciful, to them in His veiling them.
There are contradicting sahih ahadith that claim the reason why the verses of hijab came down. For example, Sahih al-Bukhari 4792 states the following, "[Narrated Anas bin Malik] I of all the people know best this verse of Al-Hijab. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Zainab bint Jahsh she was with him in the house and he prepared a meal and invited the people (to it). They sat down (after finishing their meal) and started chatting. So the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and then returned several times while they were still sitting and talking. So Allah revealed the Verse: 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses until leave is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation .....ask them from behind a screen.' (33.53) So the screen was set up and the people went away." There are at least two more contradicting ahadith that claim to explain the verse on hijab.
For every problem their is only one solution do marriage as early as possible.
so Islam completely accepted slavery.. how can your god be that cruel.. this doesn't sound like a god to me.. this god was created in the head of ancient Arabs..
Wow you are not satisfied with the guidance from the Quran…. 6:113-116. Go and read and see how the distortion has been brought in.

He says it's vague with reference to how previous scholars went into great lengths to tell women how they should dress based on the verse discussed .....when it's not even stated in the verse. Thanks for pointing these verses out. It strengthens the point that the entire strict orthodox Islamic dress is man-made.
@@minnyjay4332 Not so, the details he went into have to do with women dress inside their homes not outside. Besides he completely sidestepped the prophetic traditions and skimmed the surface when incomes to the criteria of the schools of jurisprudence all of which are in agreement on the minimum requirements to be complicated with the commandment.
A simple Google search would show you that scholars do not agree 100% on this. Some argue that it is not mandatory. At the end of the day, this verse does not say all the things that the schools of jurisprudence say it says. Again, man-made additions to Quran.
@@minnyjay4332 If you wish to discuss bring your references with quotes.
Your sin cut you of from god jesus come to die for your sin. Sin is in your soul only god know how to clean you . Not your way to feed the poor the poor can't clean sin stop try by your self try god only way jesus.

This is without commenting on the other source, his accusation of the Qur’an with ambiguity!!
@@minnyjay4332 A scholar in what exactly? The specialty of making the haram halal and the halal haram perhaps?
Sahih al-Bukhari 3606
Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman:
...
" I said, "Will there by any evil after that good?" He said, "Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Describe those people to us." He said, "They will belong to us and speak our language" I asked, "What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?" He said, "Adhere to the group of Muslims and their Chief." I asked, "If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?" He said, "Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state."
To give you a comparison, the bible says this about women's head cover in 1 Corinthians 11:6, "For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head." It's crystal clear. I think if Allah (swt) would have been just as clear in this verse, but men have their own interpretations.
@@minnyjay4332 So what do you suggest to us? Leave the Qur'an and Sunnah and instead follow the corrupted Bible?
Yes correct brother
Dr shabbir isn't a hadith rejector, he's a hadith relativist. He doesn't accept that are not actually authentic. Ironic how individuals like you lie because of your pathetic ignorance and biases
The Holy Quran said: O Prophet! Tell your wives, your daughters, the believing women to maintain their chastity and their hijab. Because it is true that others do not have the right to hurt These women, but we are also obliged to live in such a way that we do not get hurt. (قل لازواجک و بناتک و نساء المومنین یدنین علیهنّ من جلابیبهنّ). "Jilbab" is either a tent, or that big cover that he said to take this jilbab a little more and bigger; cover the head, cover the jaide (neck), cover the jaib(below the neck), so that they are not recognized, that is, no one can see them; This is the sign of their chastity and hijab,That's why mobs don't have the ability to follow up them ❤❤💖.

I used to be a great fan of Dr Shabir but I think he’s tilting too much towards liberalism, I don’t know who he is trying to impress but I’ll strongly advise that you fear Allah in your attempts to simplify Al Islam . IhtekiLLAH yah Sheikh.
Using fear & shame to justify the most extreme or radical interpretation of this verse is disingenuous. Further embedding the illusion of fear & shame every time someone applies critical thinking or reasoning to this verse is a true emotional manipulation tactic and it has to stop. Enough already. We see it for what it's for, clear evidence that all additions to the verse are man-made.
100%
If you have any proof please explain here
Or maybe he's using critical thinking
Good grief. Why would God be deliberately vague? That's just a cover-up of the mess of the ph𝜊ny Qur'an.
Because women shouldn't be overly policed about what they should wear. As long as they are modest and cover their chest, that is best for them in society, which is what the Quran says.
