Mother in Burqa — Daughter in Jeans,
T-Shirt
By Amna Gilani
Just go to
any market or roadside in any major city or town
of the country, and a common spectacle is a
women doing shopping or window shopping. Many of
these groups include a very sharp contrast. More
often than not, the older women who are mothers
or grand mothers remain clad in burqa or long
rida, and they are accompanied by daughters or
grand daughters clad in jeans or T-Shirt or
both, sometimes with dupatta and sometimes not.
This scene
depicts the confusion, double standards and the
changing social scenario in Pakistan. This newly
in vogue dress code in Pakistan hasn’t caught on
by the majority, but this trend is on the rise
and now almost all the garments shops and
boutiques are selling girls jeans and girls
tight shirts.
How older
women attired in conservative dress allow their
girls to be in ultra modern dress?
comment:
This a problem with the Muslims in every country
and within every race. What is the good in the
mother doing hijab if she is not going to teach
her daughter about it?! The parents will be
questioned about the ones (children) they are
guardians over and anyone who allows evil in his
family will be denied paradise!
It has been narrated on the
authority of Ibn 'Umar that the
Holy Prophet (May
be upon him) said: Beware.
every one of you is a shepherd
and every one is answerable with
regard to his flock. The Caliph
is a shepherd over the people
and shall be questioned about
his subjects (as to how he
conducted their affairs). A man
is a guardian over the members
of his family and shal be
questioned about them (as to how
he looked after their physical
and moral well-being). A woman
is a guardian over the household
of her husband and his children
and shall be questioned about
them (as to how she managed the
household and brought up the
children). A slave is a guardian
over the property of his master
and shall be questioned about it
(as to how he safeguarded his
trust). Beware, every one of you
is a guardian and every one of
you shall be questioned with
regard to his trust. Sahi
Muslim, Book 020, Number 4496
On the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn al Haarith
who said; the Messenger of Allaah - صلى الله
عليه و سلم - said: “Allah
created three things with His Hand; He created
Adam with His Hand, He wrote the Torah with His
Hand and He planted Firdaws with His Hand. He
then said; “By my Glory, neither a drunkard nor
a ‘Dayyooth’ will live in it”. The companions
asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we know the
drunkard, but who is the Dayyooth?’ He
responded: “One who consents to evil in his
family.” [1] Collected
by al Khira-ity in Masaawi al Akhlaaq: P.62,
#426
[1] It
also means one who does not have any protective
jealousy for his family and therefore allows
evil to take place.
