The Head of Al Azhar,Mohamed Sayed Tantawy, issued a plead that niqab is not allowed in schools any more. I think he has done the right thing. Even more this decision had been too late.
In Egypt, we see lots of women in streets covering their faces and walking among people like they are scaring them.P.S, most of them can barely be called pretty!!
I am astonished how people react. Even some of my friends whom I can call liberal Muslims.They talk about this plead as if he is preventing them from being religious.
Religion was never about wearing niqab, or even more, hijab. It is much more than that.
God is in the heart of good people. No matter what they wear, however, I do not recommend over exposing to avoid hurrasment in streets.
Being religious, as I believe, is about being good to others, heart kindness and having this magical faith of God, that enlighten our whole lives.
The famous late religious role model, Mohamed Abdo, said when he visited Europe, that he had seen muslims without Islam, and in the Arab countries he had found Islam but without muslims!
Following our religion, as any other Holy religion, means that we watch God in every behavior we do. it means not to hurt a child, not to hurt an animal, not to throw litter in streets, a man does not hurt a woman, no cheating, no betrayals.
It means to be a clean, nice, honest, lovable and hard worker person.
In our Islamic literature, a man had passed to heaven cause he fed a hungry dog. On the opposite of that man, a woman had passed to hell for holding a cat without a food or water.
That is God. God is mercy and beauty.
After all, every one has the right to choose his/her custom. But excuse me, community also has the right to be safe.
If a woman has to hide her face, ok, but please, stay at home. Don't walk around to frighten people or to commit crimes or even sins under this cover. It is not their right to give this bad impression of our religion and our civilization.
People, the world is moving. There is no time for this non sense arguments.
Keep going!
