The "Hijab" fits the natural feeling of Jealousy
(In Arabic is called,Gheerah) which is intrinsic in the straight man who does
not like people to look at his wife or daughters. Gheerah (or Positive Jealousy)
is a driving emotion that drives the straight man to safeguard women who are
related to him from strangers. The straight Muslim man has Gheerah for all Muslim
women. Many in the world had lost this great moral aspect. In response to lust
and desire men look (with desire) at other women while they do not mind that
other men do the same to their wives or daughters! In "free"
societies you see men sitting with strange women who are half-naked "enjoying"
the scene! They introduce their wives to other strange men. Mutual looks here
and there! Affairs develop and phone calls are exchanged. "Love affairs"
destroys many families and children suffer most. What kind of "love"
is this?
The mixing of sexes and absence of Hijab kills the Gheerah
in men. The eyes "eat up" other men and women! The inner "justification"
is: since I can look they can look. It's a " free choice"!! Few are
those who feel anything when they discover their wives have
"affairs". They become numb!! No dignity ! No honor! The bottom line
is that in many societies of this modern World the animalistic behaviors are
becoming very apparent.
Ali (May God Be Pleased With Him) said: "It was related
to me that you women used to crowd the Kuffar (disbelieving men) from the
non-Arabs in the markets; don't you have Gheerah? There is no good in the one who does not have Gheerah."
Islam considers Gheerah an integral part of faith .The
dignity of the wife or daughter or any other Muslim woman must be highly
respected and defended.
