Why Muslim Women Can't Be Modest While Wearing Makeup With Hijab

[11110000bbbb]

Makeup Is Haram (Not Lawful to Use) ---This Is Only My Opinion Based Off What I Know---

Women cannot wear Hijab and Makeup and still be considered Modest. Unlike the more popular response that it is okay. It is not.

Especially after marriage a woman should cover. There is no need to show to others if you are not trying to catch someones attention. Women should try to prevent men from looking at them.

(24:31) Al’Quran Surah An’Nur

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their head-covers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

A woman has a natural instinct to cover, but in today’s society it has been faded. Women are supposed to understand that we need to cover. If all women did cover we’d not have so many problems.

[Anonymous]

True! As for me, I'd rather cover myself up rather than letting myself bare even though there is no religion asking for it.

And yet, I still get catcalled...

[11110000bbbb]

Yea, Men are so used to women's body showing and they Cat-Call Women.
It is better to be covered so us Women know that They can't See and think things knowing how our bodies look.
Hair is a big part of it too.
And why Muslims shouldn't wear perfume is because men Will like to smell the scent.
Some men are really just creepy like this.
And it's not just Muslims but Our Religion says we can't wear perfume.

[Opinion Owner]

I know right? Women has so many restrictions, but it is for good. That's why women are considered special. Even our voices, we cannot just blatantly use it. That's why women are not encouraged to sing, because it is also part of the aurat. Islam way of life may not fit with today's world, but it still does. It's just that the world is trying to make us think that we're doing things wrong, pressuring us to 'try to fit in' today's world by doing restricted things and that's what happened to a lot of Muslim women today.

Hijab protects and benefits women and society

[dancing_in_nebulas]

How can men learn self control / discipline having their hand held all the time?

A man who can keep his composure in the midst of 100 women not covered, with makeup, is stronger spiritually than a man who can keep his composure ONLY BECAUSE all the women are covered up.

Overcoming temptation means having self control when temptation is present.

It is not a woman's job to cover herself because men have a weak spirit.

Men who can easily control themselves around a beautiful woman, have a much stronger spirit.

Jesus never told women to cover up, and his religion took over the whole world due to how strong the spirit of the men and women were.

And, what about us women?

We can lust after men too... why aren't they covered up?

[11110000bbbb]

They are covered but in a different way and, think about it.
You walking down the street in a busy place and u have ur hair out and speaking of men having control do you expect them to have control when half ur body in showing. Ur curves etc.. like how, how can you expect men to not look and think about something.

I am just trying to make a point here.

[dancing_in_nebulas]

Men are not mindless animals.

A woman clothed or unclothed makes no difference to a man with a strong spirit.

A man who fears losing control by seeing a womans lips, is a weak spirited man. People go to extremes due to fear.

Makes no sense. Why are they so afraid?

Women freely walk around in my country with stomachs out, tight clothes, breasts out etc - men are still able to maintain a holy life.

Depends on the man. Men with weak spirits lust after these women. Men with strong spirits could care less what a woman wears.

[11110000bbbb]

Okay second of All I dont cover for just men to not look, I cover because I am Muslim and My religion says to do.

[dancing_in_nebulas]

Well there must be a reason why your religion says to do it.

Why does it say to do that?

[11110000bbbb]

Just because we are like Diamonds as some say,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUcibKmAPaA

[hellionthesagereborn]

Well men are expected to wear certain clothing (with harsh consequences if they disobey), however from what I have heard, the reason why the covering up occurred was due to an issue of rapist. Apparently their where rapist outside of the village so when they would find a slave girl or poorer woman leave to go to the bathroom they would use that as an opportunity to rape her. However they would not do this to a free or rich woman because they would be hunted down and executed so it was stated that they should all wear the hijab for instance so that no one would be able to determine if they where rich or poor and would be to afraid to try and rape the women. However this was meant as a temporary measure that eventually resurfaced quite recently Their are videos for instance of the Egyptian president, in the 50s laughing at the idea of women covering themselves through a resentment of the west which resulted in an attempt at resurfacing "tradition". I imagine the make up thing is similar

[MsShahad]

Seriously? You somehow found it appropriate to share this extremely distinct opinion. in this very general/global community that has a minority of Muslims. If you were to share this "opinion" on a Muslim forum, they would most likely argue you wrong. I can decide whether you are too stupid, or if you are simply a person claiming to be Muslim to spark propaganda. On one of your previous polls you asked: "Christians, Do you follow the Torah?" so maybe you are just uneducated. However, to quote you again: "I believe in Catholicism but I can't go to any church cause of my parents. What do I do?". You also seem to think that Catholicism is a religion. So which is it? Are you Muslim or are you with the “Catholic Faith”? Maybe you’re both, maybe you’re just a stupid propaganda machine. Even your username seems to be mechanic. People like you are the reason why the image that the media plastered into people's minds about Islam would never go away.

[11110000bbbb]

Look, my username was completely random.
And you're the type of person who judges without knowing the full story.
First of All, :Christians, Do you follow the Torah?"
I asked this because i had recently spoke to someone who did.

"I believe in Catholicism but I can't go to any church cause of my parents"
I was going through a phase because someone Said some things and ,
I thought of my ex and it was a big problem because my ex was catholic and
He left out of no where.. I didn't know why i thought of him but I remember what he had told me. but a friend of mine said some disgusting things and I felt I couldn't be Muslim anymore.
I didn't know what to do. (Hope this makes sense cause I am not trying to get into detail)

And My username was completely random, I didn't think I was gonna use this website because I only came to ask one question because my last account was removed.
But I kept having questions and I saw that I could answer the questions here again but I already had this one.

[11110000bbbb]

I am Muslim not Catholic and this is not why that happens.
It's very complicated story but please understand that what you just said is extremely rude.
I said from the beginning "This Is Only My Opinion Based Off What I Know"

[MsShahad]

So you're saying that you're just stupid. Why would you even post something like this on this website? you have a very wrong, very sensitive opinion about something that you intend to show to an exclusive audience of Muslim women. Why would you post it on a website that is nearly devoid of Muslim women? Go post it on a Muslim vlog. At least there, people would be sympathetic towards your understanding and would explain to you in a mannerly way why it is wrong. What you did here is equivalent to going to a black neighborhood and shouting at the top of your voice "I hate blacks, someone come kill me".

[11110000bbbb]

This is a place where people can Share Opinions.
I have an opinion too.
Agree with it or Disagree it doesn't matter.
Stop trying to cause problems.
I have every right to be here.

[11110000bbbb]

Do you think the "Share myTake" button shouldn't exist?
Well it does exist and I can use it.
Just ignore what you disagree with.

[MsShahad]

I'm not calling you out on your opinion. You are very entitled to have it. I'm just saying there's a place for everything. By posting it here you are doing more harm than good towards.

[MsShahad]

As you can see, most of the comments are simply bashing Islam for being a close-minded religion while your actual point is being completely ignored.

[MsShahad]

If you share an opinion for people to read on an online forum then you are asking for that opinion to be disputed. If you're not ready to face the consequences of your own actions then stay in your safe little bubble and simply don't put your views up for debate from the start.

[11110000bbbb]

Excuse me? I never had any problem with what the comments where, but this is my post.
I will respond, I will not ignore.
And I share most things I post here on my blog.
This is one of those posts.

[11110000bbbb]

And This is not for any debate.
This is for me to state my opinion, not to debate but I am not against it.

I don't know what you mean by If you're not ready to face the consequences. Like what consequence?
And I never complained about the other posts. you are the one going around my profile looking to an old post. and Just judging the whole situation.
My opinion is not wrong it's just not what you agree with.
And i am not Stupid. I can post here and so can you until you start doing what you're doing now. You are just causing problems. It's a very immature thing to do.

[MsShahad]

So you're saying its immature to go around your "public" profile to look at your "public" posts to help further my opinion that just so happens to go against your "personal opinion", and somehow, you believe that this way I'm causing problems. yet still, you don't have a problem with the people that are bashing your supposed religion and calling it cancer and somehow I am the evil one because I looked through your profile. Let me make this clear to you, the think about the internet, is that whatever you put on it, stays on it. If you're too ashamed of what you said in the past and you don't want other people to see it, then make your profile private. Don't get angry at me for looking through the things that you are too lazy to hide. In fact, I think that the reason you hate me despite all the others is that while all the other people are criticizing a relision that you don't care about, I decided to critique you personally, and that scares you.

[11110000bbbb]

It doesn't scare me first of all. And I don't care if that question is public or not.
I can simply explain it and you can choose to either believe it or not.

You are causing problems because I will have questions and I will have answers to some questions that maybe you won't agree with.
This is MY (MyTake) and you can have yours too, if you had ever decided to make one.
You are judging someone (me).

If one person understands why I wrote this mytake it's good but unfortunately
some people have lack of respect.

I am obviously not gonna tell every reason for everything in my life that has happened.
But maybe you should ask before you just start judging over a past opinion or question.

[Crystalblues]

I have absolutely nothing against your beliefs if it's what you truly believe in. At my school there is a large Muslim population and most of the girls there do wear makeup. In fact, it seems that Muslim women and girls use makeup more. Why aren't Muslim men also put to these standards? I have always been curious about that.

[TripleAce]

The purpose of the hijab is to have men look at you less... then she goes and looks sexy with her fat lips all with lipstick and sexy eyes filled with eyeliner...

Lol

[Crystalblues]

@TripleAce I understand that but why don't the males since women do too. I mean according to what you're saying shouldn't both sides prevent unwanted attention?

[11110000bbbb]

Both should and I find that if they wear clothing and not show their bodies and also they don't style their hair but keep it in good shape. it is good.
Why Women cover their hair in this religion is because even I have seen women say that hair is one of the most attractive thing on a woman.

[TripleAce]

Hair is not the most attractive thing on a women lol
Because women with shaved heads and short hair are very attractive too

Girls be wearing hijabs then looking sexy everywhere else... right lol... I don’t think that’s why they wear it.. they wear it for other reasons so they aren’t looked down upon by the community

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce It's still one of the most attractive things.
And I'd still wear it anyway.

[TripleAce]

I wouldn't say most at all

I think guys probably find her lips, eyes, body more the most
Cause that means when i look at a hijab women i don't find her pretty? Shaaawww lol

She's even more pretty covered 😛
So nope lol

In fact as a guy talking to other guys. Men I've talked to. Especially arab men. They sexualize hijab women more

They always want to have sex with a hijab women

I don't think the cover works anymore dear lol that was in the past. Now its just to enforce make dominance on women

[TripleAce]

Male*

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce Covering because of men isn't the only reason.
It's because we do it for our religion.

[TripleAce]

But the religion says its for men...
also it's not mandatory...

so then why? in the past it makes sense... but today? no one is going to jump on you because you have nice hair

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce You obviously have not read the Quran.

[TripleAce]

I have... and friends that are muslim tell me all the time
its not mandator at all...

and its mainly to shield yourself from other men other than you husband...

but is that no true?
im not saying its not ok to wear it... I like it.. and find it cute
BUT what I am saying that it doesn't actually serve the right purpose... it makes us look at her more vs less...

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce That is you, not everyone.
And It is mandatory.

[TripleAce]

I don't think you actually know what muslim men talk about... I do cause us boys talk together...
yes its not everyone BUT a lot...

hijab is even gotten into porn... like sexy teachers etc... its a thing now... so wearing it in a country that isn't muslim just draws more attention to you (which is actually what you are trying to avoid)

and no... its not mandatory at all... everyone knows that

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce You don't Understand Islam but that is okay.

[Crystalblues]

I was under the impression it was not mandatory at all. I know in certain muslim majority countries it is, but not everywhere else. Some muslim women choose to not wear the hijab.

[TripleAce]

It’s not mandatory lol... she doesn’t really know or she’s pushing incorrect information to prove her views
What you said how in some countries they wear it more and others they don’t. That’s culture not Islam... the Quran is clear that its a choice... cause obviously. So many Muslim women don’t wear it and it’s totally fine

[11110000bbbb]

@TripleAce It's a choice but the Quran says we have to.
It's a choice lawfully but not a choice in Islam.

[TripleAce]

The Quran does not say anywhere to cover your hair
Not at all
Show me where it says that

[aa180]

I'm not Muslim but to me it's more anti-modest for a girl to wear the hijab with tights or tight jeans. They think that just because their skin is covered that they are being modest when in reality, tight clothes will expose the figure and *shape* of their body, and that's what draws out their sex appeal, precisely what the hijab is supposed to conceal.

If you take two women, one wearing the veil but with tight clothes, and another girl with her hair uncovered but with a loose dress on, then it's actually the second girl who is dressed more modestly. I don't know why many people don't seem to understand this.

[11110000bbbb]

I understand it and this post was specifically about makeup.
Tight clothes isn't modest.

[Anonymous]

What about men? If the religion calls for modesty, then why are male Muslims allowed to do things like bodybuilding competitions, where they wear nothing but a speedo? I respect your right to believe what you want, because if it makes you feel happy then that's wonderful, however that doesn't mean you should go after other Muslim women who perhaps just want to feel more confident. Because maybe there is some obscure thing in the Hadiths or Qu'ran that you don't follow, and they could put you down over that. As far as I'm concerned one should love their neighbour, and just treat others with respect unless they give you a real reason to.

[11110000bbbb]

No you are misunderstanding. Men have beards, and they dress modestly.
And Men should not join any of those bodybuilding competitions.
And I am Not Disrespecting Anyone Quote "This Is Only My Opinion Based Off What I Know"

[Opinion Owner]

Oh I know, I'm just playing Devil's advocate because I have seen a lot of bodybuilders coming straight from the middle east, and it seems to go completely against the teachings of the religion. I was raised Christian so I have little understanding of Islam and wanted to make sure there wasn't a major double standard

[JulieXO]

I don't see why I should be covering myself up. I'm not ashamed of my body, and I want to look good not only for men, but for women and myself as well. I enjoy the confidence makeup and fashion give me.

[11110000bbbb]

That is completely fine but I feel I am being fake if I wear makeup.
It's my opinion that I don't want my body showing in Public.

[englisc]

Yeah it reminds me of this:

dailypicdump.com/.../...-camouflage-pants-what.jpg

[11110000bbbb]

what exactly are you meaning?

[englisc]

It's a joke, but he's wearing camouflage trousers, which are meant to help you to not be seen - and a hi-vis top, which is meant to help people see you. It's a contradiction.

[Kandy-Kane]

Lmfao

[cupidkisses]

hahahaha that's funny

[CandyCaneZoe]

I respect your beliefs, but it saddens me that you all feel you need to cover up to hide you really are. Every person, man or woman, should feel beautiful.

[InTimoreDei]

Feeling beautiful isn't equal to showing off everything she has. A woman can still feel beautiful and be covered.

[TripleAce]

The purpose of the hijab is to have men look at you less... then she goes and looks sexy with her fat lips all with lipstick and sexy eyes filled with eyeliner...

Like bro lol..

[11110000bbbb]

I am not Hiding who I am.
I'm actually showing it by wearing no makeup.

[CandyCaneZoe]

I guess i can see that, but trying to forbid someone to do what they wish to themselves seems harsh. But to reach their own. You look lovely, by the way. :)

[CandyCaneZoe]

@InTimoreDei And issuing make up, or dressing how you want doesn't equal showing off everything she has. :)

[Edanurus]

I'll disagree with you when it comes to women covering up would solve any problems but i don't think that you'll be worthy of debate.

Never thought about wearing make up but the thing that did confuse me was hijab selfies, I mean how can you wear that thing whilst doing what could be considered the vainest part of modern society?

[11110000bbbb]

You don't think it would because you haven't been in that surrounding, but it would solve many problems.

[Edanurus]

I wouldn't assume things about people, i mean the city I grew up in has Eid lights as well as Christmas lights and my street was full of cars when I came home tonight because lots of people were going to the mosque at the top of my road which i was expecting to be fair.

That's why I knew it wouldn't be worth it, I understand the argument i just disagree. Anyway Ramadan Mubarak.

[cherryphi82]

I'm not Muslim, but I come from a religion that stresses modesty, too. I absolutely agree with you. I think it's hypocritical. I've even seen women who wore Hijab and wore tight pants and revealing or just non-covering tops. That is just a contradiction if you ask me. If you profess modesty, then show it. Don't make excuses and then make yourself look like a pussycat doll with a scarf on your head. Consistency goes a long way.

[cherryphi82]

And to add: It's not just the fact that they wear make-up at all, but the amount and extent to which they go to make themselves look very overtly "sexy". That to me is the biggest contradiction.

[cherryphi82]

It's disturbing all the anti-Muslim rants on this thread. Just from a simple question...

[MarketData]

One thing you can rely upon on GaG any time you use the M-word.

[Anonymous]

Makeup is actually not 7aram, there is a hadith that says “inna allah jamelon y7ob al jamal” allah is beautiful and he loves beauty, getting dressed up putting makeup and taking care of yourself are genrally things that islam asks for! Even for “shoffah” when a guy comes to propose it is said a woman should look pretty!

[DJZest]

Ah, Islam - the anti-women-religion.

Fortunately, there is a great apostasy happening right now, and great numbers of people, mostly women, are leaving for good. I'm happy for these people.

[11110000bbbb]

You may not understand that this religion isn't bad if people would follow it right.

[11110000bbbb]

Islam is good, And True Muslim Men Respect us Women.

[DJZest]

Islam is good, says... you? Perhaps you think of yourself of being in the position of God? Since God is the only perfect being, he is the only one who is going to be able to judge what is good, and what is bad.

And what is there to understand about "this religion"? Perhaps you might want to explain terror attacks and/or the stoning of homosexuals; hell, wanting to leave the religion can be punished by death.

And what about acid attacks?

[vishna]

I watch Dina Tokio on youtube, have you heard of her? If so, what do you think?

She's the reason I know Ramadan is going on now (and every year) and I learn about things like iftar from her.

[11110000bbbb]

Yes I will sometimes watch her videos. and I don't know.

[vishna]

what does this mean?
"those male attendants having no physical desire"

[11110000bbbb]

Some Men Will.
I don't think You've seen what some men say about Muslim Women who have tutorials for makeup etc...
And What's your point exactly?

[vishna]

So, in Islam, is being gay being "those male attendants having no physical desire"?

Yea, Dina is harassed all the time by people saying everything she does is haram. Her headscarf, make up, clothes, the way she talks etc. She's very open about this. Sid, her husband, deletes most of those comments though when people get super mean.

[genericname85]

putting on makeup is female mating behavior.

you are not supposed to display mating behavior. mating behavior makes men sexually be attracted to you and that not happening is the reason you wear a Hijab in the first place right?

[11110000bbbb]

I don't really get what you are asking.

[genericname85]

Ok. Tell me why do you wear the hijab?

[11110000bbbb]

Because of my Religion and Modesty.

[happyhippo]

Honestly why don't you let those people be. They follow the religion as they understand it, you can't expect a person to follow yor opinion. It's good you feel good wearing a hijab and no make-up, but others feel better differently. I think it's most important for us to be who we want to be.

[11110000bbbb]

I am sharing Islam and yes you are free to believe what you wish.
But I am only stating fact from what the Quran/Hadiths/and Sunnah Say.. And I am not forcing it on anyone.

[happyhippo]

No I mean - there are other Muslims out there, but every single one interprets the Quran and etc. differently. So i don't see how wearing make up would be not following the beliefs, as they're different for everyone.

[Mi2mi2a]

it is up to discussion wether make up is considered immodest.

and the proof you brought never talked about make up, just clothing and adornment wich is accesories like necklaces. so you need to bring a better verse for that.

[1truekhaleesi]

You can't save a man from slavery if he likes his chains. It's the same thing with religion. I don't wear makeup to draw attention to myself. I wear it to cover the acne I have from being stressed out.

[Anonymous]

Islam is toxic and dangerous, those who follow it need to wake up.

Can you imagine if an illiterate pedophile merchant told people today that they needed to do horrible things to each other, society would have them locked up.

[11110000bbbb]

Islam is not like that at all actually.

[Opinion Owner]

thereligionofpeace. com

Yeah, it's 100% like that.

[FrenchyRomain]

maybe it's time to update a 1600 year old fiction called a sacred text? or a 2000 year old depending on your favorite fiction : bible, torah or quran

[11110000bbbb]

Maybe I want to cover, like if you give me a choice and there was no God, I'd still cover.

[FrenchyRomain]

you want to cover because your parents told you to or you read it in a book... now imagine you have no knowledge of islam, you weren't raised in a muslim family and you have no idea what the word ALLAH stands for...
you CAN'T want to cover at all since it's strictly a religious thing. you are 14 you don't know what you want and why you want it.
if islam is so great tell me what is the punishment for apostasy?

[11110000bbbb]

A good life sometimes but then Jahannam (Hell)
We should not be like Isis and we should not hate those who leave Islam but to pray for them.
We should not kill.

[FrenchyRomain]

so you're saying that apostasy is a crime punishable by death?

[DJZest]

Islam is a religion of death. This is fact.

[FrenchyRomain]

@DJZest yeah don't worry christianity isn't any different or might i remind what God did 6 pages into the bible : he killed everyone on earth except for Noah and the fish

[lilaqua]

This kind of thing doesn't actually reduce any sort of sexual desire, it actually probably exacerbate it. There's a reason why people join nudist colonies

[D_Bone_Steak]

I gotta agree with this. Strip naked and hangout and after a couple of days, a great pair of tits is just another pair of tits... not something I'd worship, want to suck on, or really care about. Cloths actually provided a sort of makeup or beauty to some of the women, but once stripped... meh. Bullet holes in their ass cheeks, and so on... the flaws just become so apparent.

I do have to say a woman that works out (is fit) still stands out physically. For the most part though... who they are as a person becomes a thing. Some women I'd never consider as a preferable sexual partner became... more attractive in that sense.
