women and aurah

guys also have their aurah to cover and conceal but im just talking about gals here...

I came across this blog and are very touched with the articles(got 4 parts) and it makes me realize that i'm very bless to be born in Islam. Alhamdulillah. If otherwise, will i be able to search Islam, like she did or will i be another human being that just too focus on the world and living the world to the fullest and being naive on the real purpose of human on the earth and neglected totally on the subject of religion. Thinking of the possibility makes me shivers.

Then i continue my blog hopping and reach another blog whom the writer is a born muslim and the article make me feel ashame and remind myself of the time when i'm just as ignorant as she is. I didn't know my own religion before and i don't even read the quran's translation to understand the content and command of Allah s.w.t. Of course i read the arabic quran but i don't understand it coz i don't speak arabic. Only after reading the translation and recently watching usrah regarding tafsir Al quran from Dr. Fatimah Az-Zahra that i really feel my religion, i feel god and i see its truth.
Every now and then whenever i read anything about Islam, i feel different from before. I feel something rather than before i feel nothing. I guess then was the time when i was far from god. I'm glad to hear that one step or effort anyone make to get closer to Allah s.w.t., HE will take seven steps to get close to you. Subhanallah. I am glad that its not to late for me.

Back to the 2nd article i read, its about skinny jeans. Well skinny jeans really hung tight to your legs and it will definitely not hide anything from other people. Please we should not only cover our aurah but also keep it concealed by wearing something looser. If you can't cover your aurah the right way, please don't go to the very end of the wrong way, especially if you are wearing a hijab/tudung/headscarf. Be somewhere in a middle, do yourself a favour by maximising your step to Allah s.w.t. instead of doing worthless things like choosing skinny jeans over other looser jeans just for fashion sake, and denying doing things for Allah s.w.t. Remember that we live in this world for our akhirat the hereafter and not to enjoy our brain off in this world. Muslim should know that being close to Allah s.w.t. and heaven is sooooooooo much better than any joy and happiness in the world. Actually nothing in this world can be compared to Allah swt grace and heaven.

The common statement i heard from those who didn't feel like covering their aurah was because they are not ready and they didn't want to be insincere when covering their aurah. Astaghfirullah. How naive. It is not that they are not ready but they don't really know their religion, they don't feel Allah s.w.t. Logically speaking, how can you let yourself not concealing your aurah just due to insincerity yet willingly object to what Allah swt command us to do, in a way you are saying that I know better than Allah swt and commit sin. We often focus on what Allah swt command us to do yet rarely do we focus and appreciate on what Allah swt do for us and gives us. The cloth we wear, the money we have, the eyes, ears, a pair of working legs and hands, fingers, good family, husband, children, air to breath and many many many other things. The list will never end to count the things Allah swt gives and will later rewards us even more yet HE ask only a little from us.
