The Veil of Umm-e-Khallad رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا

Similarly, an incident took place of the Sahabiyyah, Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Khallad رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, whose son was martyred in one of the battles. She رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا came to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم while she was veiled, searching for her son. Upon this, someone said in astonishment: ‘You have come while veiling your face at such a time?’ She رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا said: ‘Surely, I have lost my son, but I have not lost my modesty.’ (Abi Dawood, vol. 3, p. 9, Hadees 2488)

Dear Islamic Brothers! You have heard how Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Khalladرَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا  maintained her veil in spite of the martyrdom of her son. Sadly, in our society, the veil is now considered as a burden, مَعَاذَ الـلّٰـه.

Today, our youth are becoming accustomed to immorality. For the sake of this impure purpose, they wander the streets, marketplaces, shopping centres, leisure centres, schools, colleges, and wherever unveiled women gather, taking many unlawful glances and accumulating provisions for the destruction of their world and Hereafter. Remember!  Looking at women with an unlawful glance is not the work of humans, but of Satan. Let us listen to 3 sayings of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in condemnation of unlawful glancing:

اَلْمَرْاَةُ عَوْرَةٌ فَاِذَا خَرَجَتْ اِسْتَشْرَفَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ   ۔1, meaning, ‘The woman is something to hide, so when she goes out, Satan looks at her closely.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 2, p. 392, Hadees 1176)

زِنَا الْعَيْنِ النَّظَرُ   ۔2, meaning, ‘The adultery of the eyes is looking.’ (Abu-Dawood, vol. 2, p. 358, Hadees 2152)

   ۔3 ‘The gaze is a poisonous arrow from the arrows of Satan, thus, the one who leaves it out of My fear, I will grant him such Iman whose
