“Akhi, memang fitrah manusia, lelaki akan tertarik kepada perempuan, begitu juga perempuan akan tertarik kepada lelaki. Tapi dalam Islam, perasaan itu perlu dikawal dan ada batasnya. Pergaulan perlu dijaga. Allah firman dalam surah Al-Isra’, surah ke 17, dalam ayat yg ke 32:Dan janganlah kamu mendekati zina; sesungguhnya zina itu adalah suatu perbuatan yang keji dan suatu jalan yang buruk.”

ISTERI Rasulullah SAW, Saidatina Khadijah binti Khuwailid ialah wanita pertama beriman kepada Allah dan rasul-Nya. Beliau banyak membantu dan mengukuhkan tekad, Nabi Muhammad dalam melaksanakan risalah dakwah Islamiah. Beliau sentiasa berusaha meringankan kepedihan hati dan menghilangkan keletihan serta penderitaan suaminya dalam berdakwah.
Inilah keistimewaan dan keutamaan Khadijah dalam sejarah perjuangan Islam. Beliau adalah sumber kekuatan di belakang Rasulullah.
Rasulullah ketika menceritakan keperibadian Khadijah bersabda, maksudnya: “ Demi Allah, tidak ada ganti yang lebih baik daripada dia, yang beriman kepadaku saat semua orang ingkar, yang percaya kepadaku ketika semua mendustakan, yang mengorbankan semua hartanya saat semua berusaha mempertahankannya dan… daripadanyalah aku mendapatkan keturunan.”
Siti Khadijah berasal daripada keturunan terhormat serta terkenal sebagai wanita tegas dan cerdas.Beliau adalah wanita kaya dan terkenal serta mampu hidup mewah dengan hartanya sendiri. Namun semua itu dengan rela dikorbankannya untuk memudahkan tugas suaminya.Hal ini menunjukkan beliau adalah wanita yang mendorong kemajuan pahlawan umat manusia, melindungi pejuang terbesar dalam sejarah dengan mewujudkan kedamaian dalam kehidupan suaminya. Sikap inilah yang menjadi sumber kekuatan Rasulullah sepanjang kehidupan mereka.
Sepanjang hidupnya bersama Rasulullah, Siti Khadijah setia menyertai Baginda dalam setiap peristiwa suka dan duka. Setiap kali suaminya ke Gua Hira, beliau pasti menyiapkan semua bekalan dan keperluannya. Seandainya Rasulullah agak lama tidak pulang, beliau akan meninjau untuk memastikan keselamatan Baginda.
Sekiranya Baginda khusyuk bermunajat, beliau tinggal di rumah dengan sabar sehingga Rasulullah pulang.
Apabila suaminya mengadu kesusahan serta berada dalam keadaan gelisah, beliau cuba sedaya mungkin mententeram dan menghiburkannya sehingga suaminya benar-benar merasai ketenangan. Setiap ancaman dan penganiayaan dihadapi bersama. Malah dalam banyak kegiatan peribadatan Rasulullah, Siti Khadijah pasti bersama dan membantu Baginda seperti menyediakan air untuk mengambil wuduk.
Kecintaan Siti Khadijah bukanlah sekadar kecintaan kepada suami, sebaliknya jelas berlandaskan keyakinan kuat terhadap keesaan Allah.
Segala pengorbanan untuk suaminya adalah ikhlas untuk mencari keredaan Allah. Allah Maha Adil dalam memberi rahmatNya. Setiap amalan yang dilaksanakan dengan penuh keikhlasan pasti mendapat ganjaran yang berkekalan.
Firman Allah bermaksud: “Barang siapa yang mengerjakan amalan soleh, baik lelaki mahupun wanita dalam keadaan beriman, maka sesungguhnya akan Kami berikan kepadanya kehidupan yang baik dan sesungguhnya akan Kami berikan balasan kepada mereka dengan pahala yang lebih baik daripada apa yang sudah mereka kerjakan.” (Surah an-Nahl, ayat 97)
Janji Allah itu pasti benar. Kesan kesetiaan Siti Khadijah bukan sekadar menghasilkan kekuatan yang mendorong kegigihan dan perjuangan Rasulullah, malah membawa barakah besar kepada rumah tangga mereka.Anak yang lahir juga adalah soleh. Keturunan zuriat ahlulbait Rasulullah adalah insan yang sentiasa taat melaksanakan perintah Allah.Semua ini menghasilkan kekuatan yang membantu meningkatkan perjuangan Islam.

Beneath the Hijab-Veiled For Allah |

The clothes do not make the woman, but they can make an impact during a job interview. Self-expression is a typical explanation for low-riding jeans and funky shoes as much as it is for body piercings and hair color. Yet Islamic women who choose to make an unconventional statement with their attire typically encounter prejudice, unfair treatment, and even fear. This is common for Muslim women who wear hijab, a headscarf tied under their chin, and loose fitting clothing to cover everything but their face, hands, and feet. “My heart is not ready … for the burden of interacting with people in public places with hijab on,” says Paige Robbins, a Woodlawn resident and local music therapist. “I have to be ready for people looking at me like I’m a terrorist. They’ll look at me like they’re afraid of me. I might lose clients at work. I’ll have to stand up for my beliefs — vocally. Right now, people don’t know I’m Muslim.” Robbins converted to Islam earlier this year, but her perspective isn’t unique to converts. Iman Bedawi, from West Chester, was born to Egyptian parents and was educated in the American public school system. She attended Islamic religious classes on the weekends, where she learned that hijab was obligatory according to Islam, but there was never any imposition of the rules. Bedawi’s mother didn’t don the Islamic headscarf until Bedawi was 7 or 8 years old. “A lot of women don’t understand that, when they’re interviewing, their physical appearance has a lot of bearing and that is really demeaning,” Bedawi says. “It’s none of their business how I dress if I have the right qualifications (for a job).” Obedience, Not Terrorism In the Qur’an, God commands the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear; that they should “draw their veils over their bosoms” and not display their beauty to anyone other than immediate family members. God also commands in the verse that gives the meaning of “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad).” (Al-Ahzab 33:59) Because of these two verses, Muslim women believe modesty is a highly spiritual act that’s a direct command from God. The decision to follow this direction is a personal one, Bedawi explains. “It really has to do with the development of the person wearing it,” she says. “Hijab is symbolic of a woman’s devotion to God, of her deep desire to be close to him and prefer his pleasure over the judgment of everyone else.” “In high school, my parents never mentioned it in a pressuring way. Once my mother asked me if I would like to wear it, my full-hearted answer was ‘Yes,’ but I didn’t have an idea when. Before the beginning of my last year of high school, it was my decision completely to start wearing it.” Ingrid Ascencio, who grew up a Catholic in Mexico and converted to Islam six years ago, agrees that wearing hijab is simply “being obedient to Allah.” “It really comes down to that,” she says. “I didn’t grow up with that. It’s something that Allah wants me to do.” Concern of being feared is a big obstacle for many Islamic women. The decision to choose traditional Islamic feminine dress means dealing with the suspicion and scorn by those who don’t understand the religious and personal implications of a non-Western style. Ascencio, a mechanical engineer for GE, is not afraid. She wore hijab when she interviewed for her position three years ago and continues to do so with confidence and pride.
“The environment of the company is very professional,” she explains. “There is a lot of diversity. They want to include women and minorities, and I’m triple in one. My personality repels criticism. I come across very strong, especially at work. I don’t look down, I don’t speak softly, and I’m straight to the point. I think people can read that. If you have convictions, people don’t mess with you.” That confidence took some time to develop. “It took me two years to get the strength to put it on,” Ascensio says. “I don’t do things halfway. I didn’t want to put it on, and then take it off. First, my wardrobe had to slowly change. I stopped wearing shorts and only (wore) pants, then (from) no sleeves to some sleeves, then full sleeves, etc. Then I went a size bigger than my fitting size. Slowly but surely I changed it.” “Finally I took off for work one morning and I just put it on. I didn’t tell anyone. I just did it.” “An Obstacle to What?” The women agree that, although the primary reason they cover is spiritual, there is a secondary benefit to wearing the hijab. Robbins doesn’t cover her hair, but she maintains modest dress because she feels protected. She wants to be known for her personality, not for her appearance. “I dress more conservatively than the average American woman,” she says. “I feel more comfortable with my arms, chest, and legs covered. I also wear loose-fitting clothing. It gives me comfort to be able to interact with others a little more openly. We can interact with the opposite sex and not worry.” Bedawi says she’s often confronted by feminists who take issue with her choice. “Their argument is … that this scarf is an obstacle to us,” she says. “Sometimes I wonder: an obstacle to what? To my body being admired by whoever wants to admire it? An obstacle to getting boyfriends? … Yes, it is an obstacle to preventing the woman from being susceptible to the evils that the women of [the] Western society are prone to.” “This is a very biased view that hijab is an obstacle. They think it’s an obstacle to freedom. We don’t believe in unrestricted freedom. Freedom has to be within the will of God.” Moving beyond the personal decision to wear a specific kind of clothing, Bedawi says American culture has a dramatic impact on the lack of equality afforded to Islamic woman in this country. “Most Muslims the world over hold America as the hope, as a place where we can practice our religion wholly, because of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,” she says. “We’d like the greater community to understand us and what we’re all about, not to convert anyone but to help them respect our beliefs so we can practice.” “We’d like the freedom to practice without discrimination. American foreign policies are the main obstacle to that dream. The propaganda coming out from the current administration isn’t giving a clear picture to the greater American community as to what Muslims in the US and all over the world are really all about.” |

When the woman (Eve) saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband (Adam), who was with her, and he ate it…Then the man (Adam) and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He (Adam) answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And he (God) said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” The man said, “The woman (Eve) you put here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” To the woman he (God) said, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” To Adam he (God) said, “Because you listen to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.” Genesis 3:6-17 |
(God said):”O Adam! You and your wife dwell in the Garden, and enjoy (its good things) as you wish: but do not approach this tree, or you run into harm and transgression.” “Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them (Adam and Eve), bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he (Satan) said: “Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest you should become angels or such beings as live for ever.” “And he (Satan) swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.” “So by deceit he brought about their (Adam and Eve) fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. And their Lord called to them: “Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy to you?” “They said: “Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: if You do not forgive us and do not bestow upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be lost”

Whoever touches anything she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, he will be unclean till evening.”
Leviticus 15:19-23 |
Ali asked the Prophet Mohammed if when a man and a woman make love then their clothes stick to them from the sweat of their bodies, or if when a woman has her period her clothes stick to her body, are the clothes considered unclean?
