My AuRat, My DiGnItY

Assalamualaikum and Hi =)

we meet again..hehehe

Do you ever think about aurat? Let us explain to you ^^V

What is Aurat?

What "aurat" means actually? We tried checking the dictionary to find what is "aurat" in english since "aurat" is an Arabic word. And we also tried checking the english Quran translator to find what is "aurat" called in english..So what we found is that "aurat" in Quran is called the "ornament" (24:31), "shame" (7:26) and so on in english.. Well, literally "aurat" comes from the word "aurah" in Arabic which means shame and humility(please tell us if us wrong). And basically it means certain part of the body that we need to cover from others to see..Where is Aurat?

So, if we are talking about the certain part in the body, where is that certain part? Well, aurat for man and woman is different, since man and woman are different.. For men, the part where they have to close is between the navel untill the lower part of their knee..For women, they have to close all part of their body except their face and their wrist..

When should we close our Aurat?

Well, Aurat should be closed once you hit puberty. Why? Because when we hit puberty, our sins and deeds will be counted by Allah. For men, their Aurat should be closed all the time except infront of their wife. For women, their Aurat is like the men's Aurat infront of their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands,their sons,the sons of their husbands, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, and so on (please read the Quran, 24:31)..So, infront of others who are not mentioned in the Quran, the women can only show their face and wrist..

Why should we close our Aurat?

People mostly women think that it is unnessary for them to close their Aurat. Here, we're not gonna to tell you that we have to close it because the Quran said so, but we're going to tell it based on the logic. Aurat is very closed to sexuality. For instance, when a man see the navel, the thigh, the breast, the buttock or the beautiful hair of a woman, the man will surely got excited and his lust will start to control him. And this is what Islam don't want because when the lust start to control a person, he will surely lost his mind..But hey, some women said that why must we closed our hair? Well, we never know what a person like to see. Sometimes a man can get excited by just seeing some blond hair. So, in Islam, we like to take prevention since prevention is better than cure..

What are the correct ways to close Aurat?

The clothes that we are wearing must no be too tight. And then for women, the hijab that you wear must at least closed the hair and the breast. To be more proper, wear a "jilbab" like mentioned in the Quran "O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.(33:59)"..wallahulalam
