In the commentary of this Hadees, Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states, ‘When an unmarried girl is about to get married, she is made to sit in one corner of the house. In Urdu, this tradition is called Mayun [مایوں]. During this time, the girl is extremely shy and observes extreme modesty. She even observes modesty and is shy from her own household. She does not talk to anyone openly. The modesty of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was even more than that. Modesty is a special gem of a person. Stronger the Iman [faith] is, higher the (level of) modesty will be.’

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, pp. 73)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The more we are distancing away from the era of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, more we are falling into the pits of illiteracy and immodesty. Along with other evils, the destruction of unveiling, immodesty, and unlawful gazing have brought our society to the brink of destruction and devastation.

مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه, circumstances have become so severe that those families who observe purdah (veil) are deemed to be old minded. Moreover, they are severely taunted by saying that they do not move along with the time; whereas, on the other hand, those who foment [promote] unveiling and obscenity are highly acclaimed. Those who observe veil are ridiculed [made fun of]. If a devotee of Rasool attends a function by adorning his head with the ‘Imamah [blessed turban] and his face with the Sunnah of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and refrains from unlawful gazing, then the poor guy is severely taunted. Somebody says, ‘take off this ‘Imamah!’ and someone says, ‘just leave it! We know how strictly you observe veil’.

Similarly, veil-observing Islamic sister is taunted in the following manner, ‘The world has gone so advanced and you are still so old fashioned! Religion is not that strict. There should only be the purdah (veil) of heart.’ مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه
