The Obligatory Conditions for an Islamic Hijab (Continued)

( THE HIJAB IS NOT FOR FAME!



The Messenger (PBUH) said:



"من لَبِسَ ثَوبَ شُهرةٍ في الدُّنيا ألبَسَهُ اللهُ ثوبَ مَذَلَّةٍ يَومَ القيامة، ثُمَّ ألهَبَ فيهِ ناراً"



"The one who wears a garment designed for a worldly fame,

Allah will make him wear a garment of humility on the Day of

Resurrection then he will be set ablaze."(9)



The garment of fame is any garment a person wears to make

him/her look famous. This applies whether the garment is

highly precious and shows admiration to the life of this world

or if it is chosen of a low quality to show lack of interest to

this worldly life. The person may put on clothes with distinct

colors so as to draw attention, act proudly and/or arrogantly.
