even i do not want to seem like a challenger but i agree with this brother/sister. the aspirations of our Ummah are so very high, very very high and they are definately more than winning gold medals. also hijab is not just the veil on the head but it is the hijab of the whole body. the veil worn on the head is known only as a ‘khimar’.
c’mon guys… we gotta do more. inshAllah.
my apologies for any offence i caused.
asalamalaikum.

However, those who were non-Muslims and then they embrace Islam whilst involved in these sorts of things then that is a positive thing for Islam.

Each has it’s place.

I am not going to get into explaining why, but every where i look Muslims are biting chunks out of each other, under the guise of forbidding the wrong and enjoining the right and also defending the bidah and rejecting the sunnah.

We should learn to leave people alone, not make any comments about them. Especially this, because like it or not, its ghibat.

If you do not know the sister then leave it alone.

O.k, she may well be doing wrong, but do you think that Allah would not place around her family and friends that are enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong?

Although i agree with many comments from both sides that has been made here. It is not the place, nor the time, if at all.

I am very sensative, as is anybody, and i feel the disunity between Muslims just in this post.

Had my faith been based on present day Muslims i would have apostated Islam. This is how much i hate ghibat, backbiting, fault picking. It is far to common.

May Allah forgive us all, and i would advice a moderator to delete this thread altoghether because it is a stain and a source of sin.

Congratulations to the sister for her achievement. I pray to Allah swt to continue guiding us all and make us stronger & better in our deen. Ameen.

We are here to share and to learn from one another and this morning I found myself thinking of one of the comment made in regards to “prohibition of the sister making sujood in public”. (I believe this was on one of the previous article where the sister was in sujood position)

Mine is more of a question about that comment.

Are there restrictions on places where sisters can make sujood?

For example when am outside the house away from masjid and its prayer time. I do try to find somewhere private (secluded) and perform my prayer but let us say there was completely no privacy. Can a sister stand up and pray in between the crowd?

Jzkheri

as fellow muslims, it is not our duty to pass such a critical judgment on her; it’s not like we are in contact with her and can tell her personally that we think her clothes may be too tight, whatever the case. but as a fellow hijab-wearing sister, seeing her on the race track sporting her “hijood” only makes me feel stronger with my hijab. it’s not always easy, but thinking that sister ruqaya can compete in the world olympics with her hair covered [and, essentially, the word MUSLIM plastered on her forehead], it makes the difficult hijaab days SO much easier!

alhamdulillah. and Allah knows best.
