DISPLAY OF WOMAN'S CHARM_3

(10) TABAR'ROJ IS THE WAY OF JEWS



Jews have an important role in the destruction of nations

through the Fitna. (seduction/temptation) of women. The

spread of Tabar'roj is an effective weapon of their widespread

establishments. They have an extensive experience in this

field. One should look around only to see who runs Hollywood

and famous Houses of "Fashions" and "Magazines" as well as

the world of advertisement!. R-rated, X-rated movies and

clothes are widespread. In fact the Prophet ( PBUH) said:

"فاتَّقُوا الُدنيا، واتَّقوا النساء، فإنَّ أولَ فتنةِ بني إسرائيل كانت في النساء"



"Watch out for this worldly life (safeguard yourselves from

its temptations); avoid the allurement of women: verily, the

first trial for the people of Israel was caused by women.



Their Books also testify to this fact. In the Third Chapter of

Isaiah (16, 17):



"The Lord said: "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty

and walk with necks outstretched ogling and mincing as they

go, their anklets tinkling with every step. The Lord shall cover

the scalps of Zion's daughters with scabs, and the Lord shall

bare their heads." Furthermore, "On that day the Lord will do

away with the finery of the anklets, sunbursts, and crescents;

the pendants, bracelets, and veils; the headdresses, bangles,

cinctures, perfume boxes, and amulets; the signet rings, and

the rose rings; the court dresses, wraps, cloaks, and purses; the

mirrors,.." (Isaiah, 3, 18-23; The New American Bible).



Although the Prophet (PBUH) warned against mimicking the

Kuffar (non-believers) and their ways, especially the ways of

women. Many Muslims do not abide by this warning (11). This

is a testimony for the prophecy of the Prophet (PBUH) who said:



"لتَتَّبِعَنَّ سَنَنَ من كانَ قبلَكُم شبراً بِشبر وذراعاً بذراع، حتَّى لو دَخَلُوا جُحرَ ضَبٍ

لتَبعتُموهُم، قيل: اليهود والنصارى؟ قال: فمن؟"



"You would tread the same path as was trodden by those

before you inch by inch and step by step so that if they had

entered into the hole of a Dhab (a desert lizard), you would

follow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you

mean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those before

you"? he said: Who else (than those two religious groups).(12)



The similarity of those women who disobey Allah and his

Messenger to the Jews is very evident because their response

to Allah's commands was similar to that of the Jews:



} ‏ قالوا سَمِعنا وَعَصَينا ‏‏{ الآية [البقرة،93]



"We have heard and disobeyed"

(Qur'an 2: 93)



This is unlike the response of the believing women:



} ‏ وقالوا سَمِعنا وَأطَعنا ‏‏{ الآية [البقرة، 285]



"We hear and we obey." (Qur'an 2: 285)



They remember the saying of Allah:



} ‏ ‏وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى

وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ

وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا ‏‏{ [النساء، 115]



"And whoever contradicts and opposes

the Messenger (Muhammad-PBUH)

after the right path has been shown

clearly to him, and follows other than

the believers' way, We shall keep him

in the path he has chosen and burn

him in Hell; what an evil destination!"

(Qur'an 4: 115)



ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ__________

(11) It is sad to see many who dislike the Kuffar in certain ways imitate

them in their ways of living thinking that their materialistic progress

could not be achieved except in acting, dressing, eating, jogging,

sleeping ..like them. The true Muslim, however, remembers that any

progress must meet the purpose for our presence on earth: all action must

be narrated to the worship of Allah. The Kuffar have taken some of the

means which Allah had created and used it for worldly gains. We are

ordered to make the means adhere to the purpose of our creation: the

worship of Allah Alone and thus uses the means to defend Islam and

Muslims and secure the needs of life as well. Why should some of us

dress the way Allah ordered and some does not? Should we choose

Allah's way or the Kuffar way? All the success is measured by one

criterion: does it meet the pleasure of Allah or not?

others. The text here is as reported in Saheeh Muslim V. 4, hadeeth #

(11)TABAR'ROJ IS A FILTHY

JAHILYEEYAH (IGNORANCE)



Allah (THE ALMIGHTY) says:

} ‏ وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ

الْأُولَى‏‏{ [الأحزاب،33]



"And stay in your houses and do not

display yourselves like that of the times

of ignorance" (Qur'an 33:33)



The Prophet (PBUH) described the times of ignorance as

filthy and wicked and ordered us to reject it. Allah (THE ALMIGHTY)

described the Prophet (PBUH) as :



} ‏ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الخَبَائِثَ ‏‏{

الآية [الأعراف،157]



"He allows them as lawful At-Tayyibat

(all i.e. good and lawful as regards

things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods,

etc.), and prohibits them as unlawful

Al-Khaba'ith (all i.e. evil and unlawful

as regard things, deeds, beliefs,

persons, foods, etc.)" (Qur'an 7: 157)



The call to bring about the times of Jahilyeeyah is similar to

the call for Tabar'roj, both of which are wicked ways that the

Messenger (PBUH) made unlawful. He (PBUH) said:



"كُلٌّ شيءٍ من أمر الجاهلِيَّةِ موضُوعٌ تحتَ قَدَمَيَّ"



"Verily! every matter of Jahilyeeyah is under my feet!"(13)



Tabar'roj and all forms of Jahilyeeyah such as false pride and

haughtiness, ill thoughts about Allah, call for falsehood,

setting up rivals with Allah, ruling by other than the laws of

Islam, usury, etc., are all included.

(12)TABAR'ROJ IS AN ANIMAL ACT, RETARDATION

(DECADENCE) AND DECLINE



To reveal and expose are natural behaviors of animals.

Whenever man inclines towards such behaviors he starts his

decline to a level lower than the level of manhood which Allah

had bestowed upon him. Allah bestowed a natural inclination

(Fitrah) towards covering, preservation, and safeguarding

modesty. To consider the acts of display, exposition, and

uncovering as acts of beauty reflects a corruption to the Fitrah

and a degeneration in taste and a sign of decadence and

decline.



The progress of man's civility is linked to his/her covering of

the body. The Hijab cover is fitting to the instinct of Gheerah

which draws its strength from the soul. The so called

"liberation from the chains of covering" is an instinct that

draws its strength from lust which incites Tabar'roj and

mixing of the sexes. The one who is satisfied with this latter

instinct must sacrifice the first one in order to silence the

voice of the innate Gheerah in his heart in return for the

"enjoyment" of Tabar'roj and mixing. From this we

understand that the Tabar'roj is a sign of corruption of Fitrah,

lack of bashfulness, Gheerah, and insensitivity.
