as he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم began to publicly preach Islam, the same malicious unbelievers began to hurt, ridicule and swear at him. Not only that, they even attempted to take his life. Amazingly, despite these circumstances, the Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم remained steadfast, and always patient. Now Islamic sisters should be patient and think, ‘As long as I was fashionable and did not observe veil, no one ridiculed me; but as soon as I began to observe veil, people began to taunt me; I thank Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for granting me the opportunity to act upon the Sunnah of bearing cruelty.’

It is my Madani request to Islamic sisters, no matter how much pain you experience, do not be impatient. Do not utter even a single word unless Shari’ah permits. A Hadees-e-Qudsi states that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘O son of Aadam! If you are patient and seek reward at the first instance of sadness, then I will not get pleased for you with any reward other than Paradise.’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 2, pp. 266, Hadees 1597)

بِلا حساب ہو جنَّت میں داخلہ یا رَبّ

پڑوس خُلد میں سرور کا ہو عطا یا رَبّ

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

What is veil?

Dear Islamic brothers! Advising women about veil, Sayyiduna Imam Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Women should observe veil so properly that men could not see them in any way. (Fath-ul-Baari, Kitab-ut-Tafseer, vol. 9, pp. 390, Taht-al-Hadees 4750)

Women, from head to foot, should remain hidden from strange men. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 5, pp. 13) If anyone wants to protect anything from the eyes of non-Mahrams, he hides it. What does the ‘non-Mahram’ actually mean here? This can be understood by having a look at the following Hadees. The Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘فَاِذَا خَرَجَتۡ اِسۡتَشۡرَفَهَا الشَّيۡطَانُ’ i.e. when she comes out, Satan looks at her. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 2, pp. 392, Hadees 1176)
