Is wearing the Veil something the desciples of Jesus would support ?

Question

Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already...(MATT 005:028).

Jesus said that whoever looks upon a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her. How does society curb the sin of Adultery of the eye without crushing the sexual drive as if it was some evil desire (as per early Christianity) ?

Looking at ones wife with Lust is a good thing and it is a natural process for procreation. Islam does not consider this an evil from the heart. However, to look upon a woman whom one is not married to, is considered an evil action because that is the first step toward the sin of Adultery.

The bible describes Babylon, which was the most progressive, modern and highly educated city in the world during its time, as being a cursed city with women who displayed their hair and beauty like prostitutes.

The veil is obviously very unpopular with men since they cannot have their daily eye candy and it makes fornication and adultery more difficult.

Wearing the veil is all about obeying God and it is a divine solution to the root cause of social and family breakdown.

The Veil liberates women from the oppression of daily sin that other women are subjected to by MEN who want to see them uncovered.

Today, men have convinced women that their success depends on how little clothing they wear.

In Islam, women can leave the home for necessary purposes but the ultimate teacher and homemaker is the Mother and the job of raising the next generation is considered an honor.

Islamic men are commanded to lower their gaze in modesty when standing in front of women. Muslim men are also instructed to keep the beard, wear loose clothing and cover their heads.

Islam teaches that the pillar of society is the Mother, take her out of the home and society will crumble…. GUARANTEED !!

Men who do not see other younger and more beautiful women are even more attracted to their wives and this increases the social and family bonds.

Does the veil protect sexual freedom in the home but at the same time help society in combating the social ills that go along with public sexual promiscuity ?

Answer 1

jesus liberated women

He did not oppress women like Mohommed did

former muslim here

Answer 2

Jesus would support modesty. Western women have lost freedoms because the culture is all about who can look the most like a hooker, or a beauty contestant ready and willing to lie down with the first available man. The veil is liberating. Miriam (Mary mother of Jesus) wore a hijab. Decent men support it.

Answer 3

This comment is for Mr./Mrs. January above...why do you get to say who is covered up? Maybe women don't want others looking at their boyfriends and husbands...maybe you should have to cover up so we can only see your eyes. Then maybe men could quit being so competitive with each other. Respect comes from both ends-women and men-and if a man didn't look me in the eyes, I would suspect he was lying. Also, where is the respect for women in having multiple wives? Where is the respect when men do not allow women to work, to have brains, and to use what God gave them intellectually. To answer the above question, Jesus would not want women in bondage. If he did, he wouldn't have given us brains of equal caliber of men...

Answer 4

The veil is your sign of submission to MEN not to God. Your men need to learn to control themselves and not blame their lust on the women. You are being treated as less than human and do not even see it.

I don't know how you can stand being trapped in the house all day with a bunch of screaming children. And having to 'summit' to your husband so you can have more. No wonder so many women want to be suicide bombers.

Answer 5

I do believe so. Prophet Jesus was teaching word of God, so how his disciples would not support it? I see a lot of women here speaking about hijaab, cover as a form of opression. It is not so. Nuns have special dress code, so do monks and priests in christianity. In islam all of the people are supposed to dress modestly, as well as in christianity. Jewish women have to shave their heads and cover them as well as dress modestly. Orthodox Jews even do not allow women to wear trousers. Look at the amish sect (popular in USA) how do their women dress? They are though to be strict the followers of Bible.

The problem is people do not believe in God. If you do not believe, or you do not have knowledge about the Sacred Books (Bible, Qu'ran), your opinions (hijab a form of men's oppresion) are based only on your personal believes (or lack of knowlege). For those who say that islam told women to cover, pls refer to genuine Bible, where you will find verses how wife of Prophet Ibrahim, Sara was covering her face in front of a stranger. Covering head, hear is still practised in orthodox christianity (you will see mostly all women in orthodox churches wearing scarfs over their hair). In the late XIX century in Europe, and I do believe in the begining of XX in America - it was still unthinkable for a decent women to walk out of the house without head cover...

Answer 6

This is the problem. Many Women think that they should be able to go out in the street showing her breasts and belly and entire body and there is no problem with it. These women have no respect for themselves or for the men around them. God knows how men are and this is why it is instructed to cover ourselves modestly. Our bodies are for our Husbands and Wives. not for the entire nation to see.
Sadly, these women think all they are good for is sex and something nice to look at. I have never in my whole life seen one respectable, classy, intelligent woman that has felt the need to show off her body to get what she wants. This is a woman, a woman that is not provocative in her ways, a woman not interested in turning other men on that isn't their husband.
but, this is the American culture now. You're not cool unless you go to a strip club, you're not a pretty woman unless you show your body to everyone. I don't think that is Respect.
Respect is exactly as you described it. A Man lowering his gaze when he speaks to you. A man that knows that his wife is the foundation of a good home. A Man that DOESN'T want other men looking at their wife.
Women that are dressed in a provocative way are telling men "hey, look at me! Look at my body! You can look, but can't touch."....
I'd rather not have a bunch of nasty men walking around with dirty thoughts in his head about me. You as a woman have to respect yourself, if you don't respect yourself then don't expect any respect in return, especially from men.

First. I am a western converted Muslim and I live in the Middle East. I do dress extremely modestly, and generally only Go out with My Husband or My husbands family... While i am living here i expect the Muslim men that aren't my family or my Husbands family to not look at me and to respect themselves. A man shows his respect by not staring. My Husbands friends when speaking with me, very rarely do they do this, but when they do, they say "Hi", look me in the eyes and then put them to the ground.This is showing respect tfor Himself, for my Husband and for me. Also, when a woman is around they hide their ciggarettes out of Respect.
When I first became Muslim, I asked My Husbands Mother why in Islam it is OK for Men to marry other women, and she told me this : "First in The time of the Prophet and the Quran, most men already had more than 10 wives, so Allah declared to lessen that to no more than 4 and all must be treated exactly the same. The men were allowed to do this, because they were all fighting in Wars, there were many women and many widowed women with Children that had no Husband to take care of them. So the men would marry them and protect them and teach them the ways of Islam.For every 10 Men there were at least 30 women."
In todays society, it is only permissable if the First wife agrees. There are many cases of women that can't have babies so they allow their husband another wife, there are others that just don't feel like having sex all the time so they allow their husbands another wife...The women that do this are completely happy and satisfied with their husbands. i for one, would not allow my Husband to do this unless i couldn't have babies...I know my Husband longs for a child and if I couldn't give him that, i would HAVE to let him marry another IF he chose to...In Islam the man and Wife must be completely satisfied with one another, both needs must be fullfilled by the other...if someone doesn't want to fulfill their needs then ultimately the marriage will end anyway...
Woman have choices here, they can choose what they want and who they want to marry. It is written in the Quran the equality that men and women have...
I think , that both men and Women should respect themselves and their bodies....
Jesus, Prophet Muhammad and God want us to be respectful Human beigns that have faith in God and respect ourselves and others and are not selfish or self centered...
Why do you want Sexual attention from people when you could be getting Intelligent Respectable attention instead? The kind where they are thinking what are you going to say next, instead of, hmmm...If they move a little I can see even MORE of their body!!
