Salam Alaikum :   Of course pardah and muslim women

       'Al-Aqibatul Lilmuttaqin' (Akhira is for good doers );' Many people are
writing against pardah but had we ever thought on the meaning of this simple ve
rse.  Holy Quran teaches us to create our own society to pratice religion and i
n many places 'Amal Saleh', Amal Saleh, why it so ?  Had we ever thought on thi
s. Iqbal says

             Razm ho ya bazm ho pak dil of pak baz

         I am afraid that it might not be the case that I am having a lucrative
 job among men in USA and this is why I am denying the Quranic injunctions ?
 One could argue with any thing, and argument against argument and so on... but
had we ever thought purely 'me and my Allah, all alone, at night',  'Fala Tazzu
ku anfusikum (najam) 'Do not pose yourself pure' (this is applicable on me also
).  Aina ma kuntum howa maakum (wherever u are he is with u, if u are two He is
 three, if u r 4 He is the 5th ).  And Holy Quran says 'La Tabdila le kalimatil
lah' (younus), Walin tagida lr sunnatillahe tabdila' (There will not change in
the words of Allah ).  And further, it is said 'Balil Insana Ala Nafsihi basira
(Qiyama) 'A man knows about himself what he is doing and knows himself very wel
l'.

     Further Allah Subhana said that 'if I wanted everyone of the wrold be musl
im'... I am addressing to those whosoever declining the teachings of Quran and
saying that this verse is for me and that verse is for the family of Prophet Mo
hammed (S), and that verse for him and this verse for us and so on ....
To reject a verse of Holy Quran (God forbid) is very serious and it is a denial
 of Allah's word.  If we are in USA and or getting some money it does not mean
that we are at par and crossed the limits of Holy Quran.

      In one place Allah Subhana said in Holy Quran'here angels are very quick
in writing what we are doing'?  What will be our fate and fortune when the regi
ster will be brought on the day of the judgement ?  We refer many verses of Hol
y Quran and challenge the legitimacy of hadiths but what is about other verses
?  'Afatominoona be bazil kitabe wa takfiroona bibaz'  (You follow several vers
es of kitab and do not follow the other verses ).  In the state of prosperity,
and we are now challening Quran and its verses ?  Those who deny paradah for th
em I am writing one hadiths and I am asking to them to think and pounder over t
he validity and very touching pragmatic values of this hadiths in daily life.

     Prophet (S) said, looking with the eyesis zana of eye, walking towards
some one with bad intention is zana of the feet, thinking bad (with the intenti
on of zana) is zana of heart and mind, doing bad action with hands is zana of h
and and afterwards furooz either completes the zana or remain unsuccessful.  No
w the people will ask me the references (yes I have references for this).

     Why Quran says 'talk to the people in straight manner', why Quran says' do
 not put your step the earth with sound so that people may attract towards u'
 why Quran says 'give the things from the side of the door' why Quran says
'keep eyes down' Why Quran says 'cover your body and face' (Ahzab), Why Quran s
ays 'stay at home' 'why Quran says 'In Jannah male will get the hoor to whom no
one touched ever'  why Quran says 'hoors will be like saved eggs', why Quran sa
ys 'neither jinn nor men ever touched them' and many more .....

     Why Prophet Moahmmed says 'Diwar bhabhi ke liya moot hain' why he (s), "I
am not that type of prophet who shakes hand with women' why he (s) 'turned the
face of a man who was looking towards a woman' why he said 'while he was walkin
g with his wife at night to sahaba, see I am walking with my wife'  why Abu Hur
iray said that Prophet (s) said 'the women whose saints goes to male will not
smell the jannah' why 'women have been asked to remain at home even for prayer'
.....Is every thing is wrong, or u want more refrences .. 'Hatu Burhanakum' 'N
ow u bring the refrences where Quran says not to do 'pardah' or move freely and
 pass the life like a free bird and do whatever one wants ?  Since morning to e
vening we are watching the result of denial of paradah, why we are not honest o
r whether our heart is locked and we cannot see anything ?

       Argument, argument and argument, we forget that one day we will die and
we willbequestioned what we are doing here.  Iman, means surrender and a comple
tele and unconditional surrender, this is a migration from kufr to Islam.
We say a lot but remember 'Kalla iza balaghatat taraqia wa qila mun raq, wa zan
na inahul firaq, wal taffatil saqobissaq, Ela Ribbika yumaizilnilmasaq'
(Sura Qiyama) 'when the soul will come to the throat and that dying man will ru
b his shin with his shin, and then there will be no cure with medication, and r
elatives will ask to call some witch doctors for jhar phook, and that sick man
knows that he is departing from this world, medicine and every thing remain use
less, there will be no question this is the time to go to your Rub'.

        Those who deny the legitimacy of verses of Holy Quran 'Rha gai rasm aza
n rooh bilali na rahi'.  Continue.... salam. Jafry
