Kya Hijab aur Parda Purani Rasm Hai ya Aaj Bhi Zaruri?
Intro (Muqaddima): Kia aap ne kabhi socha hai ke akhir hijab jaisi cheez par itna behas kyun hota hai? Aaj ke modern daur me bohat se log kehte hain ke “ye parday waghaira to purani baatein hain, ab inki zarurat nahi.” Kuch naujawan Muslim bhi uljhan me pad jaate hain jab un se ye sawaal hota hai. Ek taraf Islam ka taqaza ke aurat hijab ya parda kare, aur doosri taraf log poochte hain iska faida kya hai. Kya ye aurton ki azaadi cheen lene wali baat hai, ya unki hifazat aur izzat ka zariya? Is article me hum inhi aitraazaat ka logical aur ilmiy jawab denge. Hum dekhenge ke Islam me hijab ka asal maqsad kya hai, iska fanni (scientific) aur samaji pehlu kya hai, aur kya waqayi ye sirf deen ka hissa hone ki wajah se maana jata hai ya iske peeche koi samajh aur faida bhi chhupa hai. Aakhir me hum freedom (azadi) ke pehlu par bhi baat karenge – ke Islam kuch hudood kyun qaim karta hai, aur kya ye hudood insani huqooq ya azadi ke khilaaf hain ya unke hami (supportive) hain.
Yani, agar aap hijab ke maqsad, us par uthne wale sawaalon aur unke jawab me dilchaspi rakhte hain, to is tafseeli jaize ke liye tayyar ho jaaiye. Chaliye shuru karte hain aur dekhte hain ke kya hijab waqai “purani rasm” hai ya aaj bhi utna hi zaruri aur faydemand hai.

Hijab ka Dunyawi Faida Kya Hai?
Aitraaz: Kuch log kehte hain, “Agar hijab se society ko koi khas faida nahi milta, to isko لازمی kyun samjha jaye? Sirf is liye ke Quran me aaya hai? Agar dunyawi taur par benefit zero hai, to behtar hai aurat ko choice di jaye ke wo pehne ya na pehne.” Eik caller ne sawaal uthaya ke “Hijab se social benefit bataiye, warna phir ye kyun hona chahiye?”
Jawab: Sab se pehle to yeh samajhna zaruri hai ke ek Muslim ke nazdeek sab se bada faida Allah ki raza aur aakhireet ki kamiyabi hai. Agar Quran me koi hukum aagaya, to chahe hume uski hikmat samajh aaye ya na aaye, Allah ki baat maanna hi hamare liye faida hai – kyun? Kyunke us se akhirat me jannat milegi aur Allah khush hoga. Yeh wafadari aur ita’at ka jazba hi momin ki pehchan hai. Quran ne hume yaad dilaya: “Aur jo koi Allah aur uske Rasool ki itaat karega, Allah use aise baaghon (Jannat) me daakhil karega jinke neeche nehrein beh rahi hongi.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:13 ka mafhum). Yani hijab par amal karna pehle Allah ka hukm manna hai – aur is se badh kar faida kisi cheez ka nahi ho sakta.
Lekin khali akhirat hi nahi, duniya me bhi hijab ki kai hikmatein hain. Khud Quran ne jab parday ka hukum diya (for example Surah Al-Ahzab, ayah 59), to ye wajah bayan ki: “Taake mashhoor ho jayein aur takleef na pohonchai jaye.” Dusre lafzon me, Allah ne farmaya ke parday ki wajah se momin auratein pehchaani jaayengi ke wo nek-pakdaaman hain aur unhein sataaya nahi jayega.
Dekhiye, ye kitni badi hikmat hai: hijaab ek shield (dhaal) ki tarah kaam karta hai jo buri nazron aur buri niyyat rakhne walon ko door rakhne me madad deta hai. Ye baat aam zindagi me hum mehsoos bhi kar sakte hain. Aksar agar ek khatoon sadee kapron me, سر par dupatta ya scarf liye hue ho, to bazahir log usko izzat dene par majboor ho jate hain. Bus ya train me dekh lijiye, bohat dafa dosre musafir aisi khatoon ko dekheinge to khud apne aap ko tahzeeb me rakhne ki koshish karte hain. Kayi mardon ka zameer jaga rehta hai ke “ye hamari maa-behen jaisi hai, iski madad ya ehtaraam karna hai.”
Iske baraks agar koi aurat bohat zaahir-daar libaas (revealing clothes) me ho, to badqismati se kuch ghair-sharif mard usko easy target samajhne lagte hain (halaanke ye soch ghalat hai, aur kasoorwar mard hi hota hai na ke aurat ka libaas, jisko hum baad me clear karenge). Baat sirf itni hai ke hijab ek preventative measure (ehtiyaatan) hai jo society me behayai ko kum se kum rakhne ke liye design kiya gaya hai. Islam chahta hai ke عورت ka maqam itna buland aur paak rahe ke usko sirf uski khubsurati ki bina par na taula jaye. Hijab aur parda uski zaat ko ek “sexual object” ki tarah pesh hone se bachata hai aur uski shakhsiat ko namudar karta hai.
Yeh baat bhi samajhni hogi ke agar koi insaan kahe ke “akhir hijab ka faida nazar nahi aa raha, log to phir bhi bure kam kar rahe hain”, to ye logic durust nahi. Is tarah sochna ek logical fallacy hai. Agar kuch log traffic laws ke bawajood bhi hadsa kar baithein, to kya hum kehenge ke “phir traffic lights ka kya faida? Sab law hi khatam kar do.” Nahi, balke hum yeh kahenge ke agar law na hota to hadse aur zyada hotay. Isi tarah, Islam ne jo hijab ka nizam diya hai, wo society ko ek ahem direction deta hai. Kuch farz farmaane se 100% log us par amal karenge, ye zaruri nahi – magar phir bhi jo log maanne wale hain unke zariye ek positive environment paida hota hai.
Aur sabse bari baat: hijab ka faida sirf numbers ya percentages me naapna theek nahi. Yeh ek Religious Identity bhi hai. Aaj ki duniya me jahan Islam ko log galat fehmi se dekhte hain, ek muhajjaba (hijab lene wali) aurat chalti phirti dawat (invitation) bhi hai. Koi dekhta hai ke “Mashallah, ye Musalman khatoon apne deen par kaarband hai”, to shayad uske dil me khayal paida ho ke Islam ke baare me jane. Mufti Yasir ne is point ko debate me bhi uthaya ke gairo ko musalman aurat ka pehchan hona khud ek faida hai. Agar hijab hoga, tabhi to pehchan hogi na. Warna agar sab log ek jaisay dekhein, to kisay pata chalega kaun Muslim hai kaun nahi?
Khulasah ye ke: Hijab se faide hi faide hain – spiritual bhi aur samaji bhi. Haan, ye mumkin hai ke har faida hume foran apni ankh se nazar na aaye, lekin iman ye taqaza karta hai ke Allah aur uske Rasool ki baat ko ba-hikmat tasleem kiya jaye. Aaj science bhi dheere dheere batati ja rahi hai ke nazar aur jins ka bahot gehra taluq hai; beshak hijab pure buraiyon ko khatam nahi karta, lekin ye ek protective barrier zarur hai jo bohat si buraiyon ko kam kar deta hai. Aur phir, aakhireet ka inaam to hai hi sab se bara motivation.
“Masla Mardon ki Nigaah ka hai – Aurat per Parda kyun?”
Aitraaz: Liberal mindset rakhne walon ka ek aam point ye hota hai: “Agar mard aurton ko dekh kar behak jaate hain, to masla mardon ka hai. Unko apni niyat aur nazar saaf rakhni chahiye. Aurat par pabandi kyun dali jaye? Kya ye unfair nahi ke mardon ki ghalti ki saza aurat bhugte kapde zyada pehen kar?” Is reasoning ko aasan lafzon me yun keh sakte hain ke “Why not teach men not to stare, instead of making women cover?”.
Jawab: Ye baat theek hai ke mardon ko apni nazrein control karni chahiye – balke Islam ne to pehle din se ye taleem di hai. Quran majid me pehle mardon ko hi hukm hai: “Momin mardon se kaho ke apni nazrein jhukae rakhein aur apni sharmgaahon ki hifazat karein. Ye unke liye zyada paakiza hai.” (Surah An-Nur 24:30 ka mafhum). Iske baad agli hi ayat (24:31) me auraton ko bhi nazren jhukane aur apne zeenat (saj-dhaj) ko chhupane ka hukm diya gaya hai. To Islam ne dono jins ko guidance di: mard bhi ghalat na dekhein, aurat bhi apne aap ko aisi soorat me na pesh kare ke mardon ki fitrat behakne ka imkaan ho.
Yahan ek fitrati haqeeqat samajhna bahot zaruri hai. Mardon ki jismani banawat (biology) aur aurat ki fitrat me farq hota hai. Science ke mutabiq mardon ke andar testosterone hormone auraton ki nisbat bahot zyada miktar me hota hai – research ke mutabiq 7 se 8 guna tak zyada! Ye hormone mardon me jinsiyat (sex drive) ko badi hadd tak influence karta hai. Yani ek mard ko visual trigger bahot jaldi affect karta hai banisbat ek aurat ke. Aap aam zindagi me bhi dekhein: bohat se mard sirf dekh kar jazbati ho jaate hain, jabke aksar auratein itni asaani se sirf nazar se mutasir nahi hoti. Ye koi stereotype nahi balke medically aur psychological taur par note ki gayi baat hai.
Ab Islam ka maqsad hai pakeezgi ko qaim rakhna aur bure khayalaat ya aamal se insaan ko door rakhna. Is liye Islam ne prevention par zor diya hai. Mardon ko kaha “tum ghar se nikalte waqt aankhein neeche rakhne ki aadat banao” aur aurat ko kaha “tum bhi aise libaas pehno ke ghair mardon ko tumhari zeenat ya jism ke khususiyaat na nazar aayen.” Dono apni apni zameen par effort karenge to hi society safe hogi.
Aur jaisa ke hum ne pehle kaha, hijab ka matlab ye nahi ke mard par zimmedari nahi rahi. Zina (fornication/adultery) ki mumaaniyat, gair mehram se nazar bacha kar rakhna, hatta ke Hijab ki zimmedari mardon par bhi hai: Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ne farmaya ke “Aurton par parda farz hai to mardon par bhi unki nazar ka parda farz hai.” (Tirmizi, abreeviated). Yani accountability mardon ki bhi utni hi hai. Koi mard ye nahi kah sakta ke “maine to isliye ghur ke dekha ya cheda kyunke samne wali ne aisa pehna hua tha.” Nahi! Qanun ke nazdeek ye waja qabool nah hogi. Agar koi mard ched-chad karta hai to kasoorwar wahi hai aur usko saza milni chahiye. Hijab iska license nahi ke mard apne aap ko free samajhne lagein.
Phir aitraaz ye uthta hai ke “phir hijab ki zarurat kya hai jab mardon ko hi sekhna hai?” Dekhiye, zarurat is liye hai ke har aadmi to wali-ullah nahi hota na. Kuch log aise honge jo apni nazar nahi bachayenge. Islam ek perfect society ka aim karta hai lekin real-world human nature ko bhi madde nazar rakhta hai. Kuch ghairat farosh mard nafs ki baat me aa kar galat harkat kar hi baithte hain. To jis tarah hum bimari se bachne ke liye vaccination lete hain ke chances kam ho jaayein, waise hi hijab ek vaccine ki tarah hai jo social illness ke chances ko kaafi hadd tak kam kar deta hai.
Yahan pe ek aur nuktay par gaur karein: Hijab aur modest dressing ka asar humne aksar ye dekha ke mardon ke behavior par padta hai. Misal ke taur par, bohat se shareef mard bhi agar kahin kisi ko bohat immodest (be-parda ya behad revealing) libaas me dekhen, to na chahte hue bhi shayad ek lamha ke liye nazar phisal sakti hai, ya zehen me koi khayal aa sakta hai. Ye insan ki fitrat hai, shaitan bhi wasewasa daalta hai. Lekin agar wohi mard ek aurat ko burqa ya abaya me dekhe, sar se paon tak dhaki hui, to na sirf uski nazar zhuk jaati hai balki dil me ek ehtram bhi paida hota hai. Wo sochta hai ye deeni behen hai, ise protect karna hai. Hamare muashre me bhi dekhe to muhajjaba khawateen ko aam taur par “begum sahiba” ya “baji” keh kar pukara jata hai, jabke intahai modern libaas wali ko kabhi kabhi bazari awam aisi izzat se nahi nawazte (ye unki ghalti hai, lekin reality hai). To psychologically, hijab doosron ko bhi ek signal deta hai ke “mere saath ek tahzeeb ya ehtiyaat se pesh aana hoga.”
Aik or angle: Victim-blaming se bachne ke liye kuch log hadh se zyada victim-liberating ki taraf chale jaate hain. Matlab wo kehte hain ke “kapray chahe jitne chhotey pehno, mard ko haq nahi dekhne ka.” Ye baat apni jagah durust hai ke mard ko haq nahi – lekin strategy ke lihaz se sochiye: agar aap khule aam shehed le kar niklenge to makhiyan aane ke chances barh jaate hain. Is me kasoor makhi ka hai – lekin aap precaution le sakte the ke shehed dhak kar rakhte. Isi tarah aurat agar puray kapron me hai to koi bhi usko tang kare, to uska zero kasoor hai aur mard pure tor se zimmedar hai. Agar wo adhi raat ko bhi nikle aur burqa me hai, phir bhi agar koi zaleel karta hai to qasoorwar mard hai. Law kehte hue bhi ye dekhte hain ke “kya aapne apni taraf se bachne ki koshish ki thi ya nahi.” Hijab ek aurat ki taraf se koshish hai apni hifazat ki. Baaqi Allah ki raza pe chhod deti hai.
Ikhtisaar me: Islam ne mardon ko bhi puri tarah responsible thahraya hai, aur aurat ko bhi thodi extra coverage isliye di hai kyunke aurat ka maqam mehfooz rahe. Ye mardon ke dil me auraton ki izzat ko aur barha deta hai. Hijab aurat ke liye ek tarah ka empowerment (ba-ikhtiyaari) bhi hai – wo faisla karti hai ke uska jism kisi gair ki nazron ka nishana nahi banega. Wo apni privacy aur dignity ko guard kar rahi hai. Isko ulta mardon ki khata ki saza kehna na-insafi hogi, kyunke mardon par bhi barabar ki zimmedari hai. Dono mil kar hi ek haya-daar muashra bana sakte hain.
Modesty ki Definition Har Culture mein Mukhtalif hai
Aitraaz: Eik aur daleel aksar di jati hai: “Aap ‘modesty’ ki baat karte hain, lekin ye to relative cheez hai. Western mulkon me tank-top aur shorts pehno to bhi normal hai, aur shayad unke liye modesty ho. Wahin Middle East me aadhi baahein dikhana bhi ghair modest mana jata hai. To phir kaise decide hoga ke kya pehnawa theek hai? Har jagah ka criteria alag hai, to hijab ko universal kaise keh sakte hain?” Kisi ne debate me Mufti sahab se ye bhi kaha ke “ek western aurat ke liye modesty shayad yeh hai ke ghutnon tak skirt ho, lekin aap ke liye wo behayai hai. To phir yeh sab subjective hua.”
Jawab: Yeh baat theek hai ke mukhtalif tehzeebon me libaas ke style aur norms alag rahe hain. Lekin kuch common principles bhi rahe hain. Tareekh utha kar dekhen, to lagbhag har bade muashre ne kapdon ke maamle me kuch na kuch hadh zarur banai hai. Bilqul nanga ghoomna kisi mehazab society ne kabhi accept nahi kiya (siwaye chand door-daraz qabaa’il ke jinhein duniya primitive ya gehr-mehzab samajhti thi). Aap Hindustan ki example lein: ghunghat ki riwaayat bohat se ghair-Muslim bhi karte aaye hain. Rajisthan, Haryana waghaira me aaj bhi kayi Hindu khaandaanon me larkiyan shaadi ke baad sar dhakti hain. Isi tarah Bible me, New Testament me Paul ki Corinthians ki letter me aata hai ke “agar aurat apna sar na dhakhe to apne baal katwa de, lekin kyunke be-sar dhake hona be-izzati ki baat hai, is liye sar ko dhak le.”biblegateway.com Yani early Christianity me bhi ye concept tha ke aurat ka sar cover hona modesty ki nishani hai. Yahoodiyon (Jews) me bhi orthodox auratein apne baal hatta ke pure sar ko scarf ya wig se dhakti hain.
To asal me Islam ne koi nayi cheez impose nahi ki, balke pichli sab tehzeebon ki behtareen rivayat ko formalize kar diya aur usko divine command ki surat de di. Quran me jab parday ka hukum aaya (24:31 aur 33:59 me), to uss zamane ke liye ye koi ajeeb baat nahi thi; auratein pehle bhi dafaa-e-nafs ke liye dupatta waghera leti hi thin. Haan, Islam ne isko farz karke accountability jod di taa ke koi isko trivial na samjhe. Kyun? Kyunke human nature ye hai ke vaqt ke saath agar cheezain flexible chhodi jayein to dheere dheere log apni khwahish ke mutabiq standards gira dete hain. Aaj aap kehte hain ghutne tak skirt theek hai; kal agla nasl kahegi ke aur chhota bhi theek hai. Phir ho sakta hai kuch extreme log kahen ke kapdon ki kya zarurat – ye to sab social construct hai! Ye koi khaali theory ki baat nahi – aaj kal kuch nudist communities hain jo kehti hain kapde optional hone chahiye. Obviously, aksar log abhi bhi is baat ko galat kahenge. Magar point ye hai ke agar aap ke paas ek pakka mayaar (standard) na ho, to waqt ke saath “haya” ki definition pighalti chali jati hai.
Islam ne hume clear guidelines di hain taake hum is uljhan se bach sakein. Islam ne bata diya ke awrat ke liye modest libaas kaunsa hai: wo jo poora jism (soyay ke) dhak le siwaye chehre aur haathon ke (jis andaze ko hijab kehte hain), aur mard ke liye kaunsa hai: jo navel se le kar ghutnon tak dhaka ho (aur behtareen hai ke shoulder se knee tak dhaka rahe) aur dheela ho, be-hayaa na ho. Ye ek universal dress code hai jo har culture me apply kiya ja sakta hai. Ab ye alag baat hai ke iske upar koi apne culture ke hisab se design, color jo marzi ikhtiyar kar le – Islam ko us se koi problem nahi jab tak minimum requirements poori hain. Misal ke taur par, Malaysia ki Muslim aurat shayad colorful chadar odhegi, Pakistan me shayad sifed dupatta, Arab me kaali abaya – ye sab theek hai. Bunyadi shart ye hai ke kapda patla ya take shrank (tight) na ho, jism dhaka ho aur namayish na ho.
Yeh argument ke “har jagah modesty alag hai” asal me ye zahir karta hai ke logon ko khud ehsaas hai ke haya ek desired cheez hai – tabhi to sab culture is lafz ko use karte hain, chahe matlab alag nikalte rahein. Koi bhi tameezdaar society ye claim nahi karti ke “be-hayai hamara maqsad hai.” Har koi apne tareeke se haya pehna chah raha hai, lekin jab nafs ki chalti hai to log apne comfort aur desire ke mutabiq standard ghata badha lete hain. Islam hume is dhokhe se bachata hai aur kehta hai: “Dekho, Allah taala tumharey paida karne wala hai, usne bata diya ke mardon aur aurton ke liye best practice kya hai haya ki. Ab isme apne democratic vote ya cultural trends ke chakkar me na parhna, balki apne خالق ki guidance lena.” Yeh ek Musalman ke liye kaafi hona chahiye.
Aap gaur karein, aaj khud Western society me bhi ek tabqa hai jo kehta hai ke “modesty should be about character, not clothes” – ye sunkar achha lagta hai, magar afsoos ki baat ye hai ke ye sirf baaton me hai. Practically wahan par bhi ek double standard hai: agar aap office me under-dressed chale jayen to HR policies rok deti hain ke decent dressing zaruri hai. Fine dining restaurants me aap short-shorts pehen ke nahi ja sakte, aap ko formal dress code follow karna padta hai. Yani khud un societies ne alag jagahon ke liye libaas ki restrictions laga rakhi hain – ye unko bhi ehsaas hai ke kapdon ka tasur aur asar parta hai. Bas farq itna hai ke Islam ye kehta hai ke har jagah (public me) ek base-level modesty maintain rakho, jabke modern secular culture kehta hai ke sirf kuch mauqon par modesty adopt karlo. Hum logic ki taraf jayen to Islam ki baat zyada consistent nazar aati hai: kyun na hum har waqt apni dignity ko protect karein? Kya ye hipocrisy nahi ke sirf kabhi kabhaar hi modest ban-na hai?
Aakhir me, ye samajhna bhi zaruri hai ke hijab ka concept sirf kapdon tak mahdood nahi. Islam me “haya” ek wase’ (broad) concept hai jo overall behavior me bhi zahir hota hai. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ne farmaya: “Haya iman ka hissa hai.” Modesty ka maqsad hai poori personality ko aise dhang par lana ke na to aap khud kisi ko bure khayal me mubtala karein, na khud kisi burey vaswase ka shikaar hon. Hijab is overall modesty ka ek jismaani izhaar hai (physical manifestation). Saath me awaz me, chalne me, bolne me, mizaaj me bhi waqar aur haya ho tabhi tasweer mukammal hoti hai. To agr koi sirf bada dupatta le kar nikle lekin bazaar me tez awaz me cheekh-pukare ya mardon se gaafil hokar ghule mile, to phir hijab ka maqsad pheeka reh jayega.
Islam ne hume ek mukammal package diya hai haya ka. Aur is package ki ahmiyat har daur me rahegi, chaahe log “purana” kahen ya “progress ke khilaaf”. Haqeeqat ye hai ke progress technology me hoti hai, insani fitrat nahi badalti. Aaj bhi mard ka dil wahi hai jo hazaron saal pehle tha, aur aurat ki nafsiyat bhi wahi hai. Jab tak mard mard hai aur aurat aurat, haya aur parday ka nizam relevant rahega.
Objection: Gustakhi-e-Rasool par Saza – Kya Islam me Freedom of Speech nahi?
Aitraaz: Ab tak humne baat ki parday aur hijab ki. Debate me ek aur topic bhi utha: Azadi-e-izhar (freedom of expression) ki hudood. Aitraaz yun tha: “Agar Allah khud kaafi hai apne Rasool (ﷺ) ka defensa karne ko, to Musalmano ko kia zarurat ke wo blasphemy law banaye aur logon ko saza dein? Kya Quran me kahin likha hai ke gustakhi karne walon ko insaan saza dain? Kya ye khud Allah ki qudrat par shaq nahi? Aur kya ye insani freedom ki khilaf warzi nahi?” Yeh aik nazariya hai jo kehta hai ke mazhab ko criticize karne ki poori ijazat honi chahiye, warna society azaad nahi. Aise log poochte hain ke “Islam apni tanqeed sunne ka hosla kyun nahi rakhta? Kya Islam me freedom of speech nahin hai?”
Jawab: Yeh topic thoda technical hai, lekin aasan alfaaz me samajhne ki koshish karte hain. Sabse pehle, ye baat durust hai ke Quran me kahin yeh nahi likha ke “jo shakhs Rasool ki tauheen kare usko jaan se maar do.” Balke Quran me to Allah ne Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ko mukhatib kar ke firmaya: “Inna kafainaaka al-mustahzi’een” yani “Hum aap ke liye tamaskhur karne walon (mazaaq urane walon) ke liye kaafi hain.” (Surah Al-Hijr 15:95)alim.org. Iska matlab yeh samjha jata hai ke Allah khud in logon se nipat lega – dunyawi nafsiyaat me bhi dekhen, aksar anjaam Allah kudrati taur par dikha deta hai. Misal ke taur par, kayi aise bad-qismat log jo Gustakhi-e-Rasool me shamil rahe, kuch arse baad kisi azaab jaisi halat se guzar gaye (historical incidents exist, though not always immediate).
Lekin is ayat ka yeh matlab hargiz nahi ke Muslim society khaamosh tamashai bani rahe agar koi sar-e-aam unke Pyare Nabi (ﷺ) ki shaan me gustakhi karta rahe. Yad rahe, jab yeh ayat nazil hui, to uswaqt Makkah ka daur tha – Musalmaano ki koi hukumat ya riyasat nahi thi, sirf Allah ka bharosa tha. Phir jab Madinah me Islami riyasat bani, to Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ne khud kuch waqiat me sazaen deen un logon ko jinhon ne hud se barh kar tauheen ya baghawat ki thi. Tareekh me aise waqiat mileinge jahan Nabi (ﷺ) ke huzoor kuch logon ne shiddat se gustakhi ki (jaise nazam ke zariye behurmati, ya jang ke andaaz me propaganda), aur unme se kuch ko phir Muslims ne jangein jeetne ke baad qatal bhi kiya. Bahot se makaam par aap (ﷺ) ne maaf bhi farma diya – ye aap ki rahmat thi. Lekin shar’i nukte nazar se baad me Muslim fuqahaa (jurists) ne ye hukm dediya ke “jo shakhs Muslim hote hue Rasool ki gustakhi karega, uski saza maut hai”, aur “jo ghair-Muslim Islami riyasat me rehte hue yeh harkat karega, wo bhi qatl ki saja ka mustahiq ho sakta hai.” Yeh fiqhi (jurisprudence) faisley hai jo Quran ki ro se implicit hain aur Hadees-o-Seerat (Prophet ki life) ki roshni me nikale gaye.
Yeh baat samajhne wali hai ke Islam me “freedom” ka mafhoom thoda mukhtalif hai jo aaj kal liberal secular dunia samajhti hai. Aaj ke secular moashre kehte hain: “Tumhe har cheez kehne ki azadi hai jab tak kisi ki jaan-mall ko nuqsaan na pahuche.” (Woh bhi, jaisa hum ne pehle zikr kiya, poori tarah sacchi baat nahi – kyunke khud unke haan bhi hate speech waghera par pabandi hai). Islam ka khayal hai ke “insaan ko poori baat kehne ki azadi hai jab tak woh Haq ke daayre me rahe.” Yani such aur bhalayi ki baat hai to bilkul kaho, khul kar kaho – khud Quran me aata hai: “Beshak Allah zulm ke khilaaf awaz buland karne walon ko pasand karta hai.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:148). Magar agar baat fitna (anarchy/chaos) philane wali ho, to phir azadi wahan roki jayegi. Example ke liye agar koi battlefield me apne hi army ka sipahi apne general ko gaaliyan dena shuru kar de, to kya ye uski “freedom” samajh kar chhor diya jayega? Nahi, balke use court martial ka saamna karna padega. Kyon? Kyunke uski is harkat se army ka morale aur unity khatre me pad gaya.
Bilkul isi tarah, Islamic society me sab se azeez cheez Allah aur Rasool (ﷺ) ka ehtaraam hai – ye us society ke iman ka glue hai. Agar koi shakhs is core cheez par hi laat maarega, khule aam tauheen karega, to wo goya spiritual terrorism jaisa kaam kar raha hai. Us se aam Muslims ke jazbaat bhadkeinge, laaziman ashanti (fasaad) phela. To us fasaad se bachne ke liye hi Islamic law me ye baat ayi ke aise shaks ko sakht se sakht saza do taa ke koi aur himmat na kare. Ye bilkul usi tarah hai jis tarah aaj ke qanunein “hate speech” ko rokne ke liye saza rakhte hain. Gustakhi-e-Rasool bhi hate speech ki ek extreme form hai jo 1.5 billion Muslims ki extremely deeply-held belief ko target karti hai.
Kuch log kehte hain: “Achha agar koi Islam ko nahin manta aur aisi batein karta hai to kya use bhi maar denge?” — Dekhiye, Islam kisi ko jabran musalman banane ki ijazat nahi deta (“La ikraha fid-deen” – deen me zabardasti nahi). Koi non-Muslim agar apne mazhab par hai aur apne daayre me kuchh kehta hai to Islamic hukumat uspe zabardasti nahi karti jab tak wo Muslim society me fasaad na phailaaye. Magar ek Islami riyasat ka bhi haq hota hai ke apne muqaddasaat ki hifazat kare. Aap Middle East ke misal lein: agar koi khula Christian ya Hindu wahan rahta hai to wo apne ghar me apne tareeke se ibaadat kar sakta hai, apne logon me jo kehana chahe keh sakta hai. Lekin agar wo bazaar me nikal kar Musalmano ko bhadkaane lage, Islam ke khilaf postcards baantne lage ya Rasool ki shaan me gustakhi karne lage, to phir uski khair nahi. Ye bilkul waise hi hai jaise France me aap azad hain – lekin agar aap khule aam secularism ko challenge karenge (jaise hijab pehen kar government school jana chahen) to aap ko wahan ka system punish karega. Unhon ne apne core value (laïcité) ko protect karne ke liye law banaya, to Islam ne bhi apne core (hurmat-e-Rasool) ko protect karne ke liye law banaya.
Rahi baat Allah ke kaafi hone ki – to bandagi ka maamla apni jagah hai aur riyasat ka discipline apni jagah. Allah har cheez dekh raha hai, phir bhi insaan ko nahi chhor deta ke wo qatl o gharat kare aur kahe “Allah khud nipat lega.” Balki Allah ne qatl, chori waghera ki sazaen Qur’an me bata di, kyun? Kyunke wo chahta hai ke zahir ka nizaam dunya me qaim rahe. Isi tarah, gustakhi-e-rasool par sakhti ikhtiyar karna Islami riyasat ki zimmedari samjhi gayi hai taa ke log is hadd ko paar na karein. Haan, ye zarur hai ke ye kaam law enforcement ke through ho, na ke har koi uth kar khud hi vigilante justice karne lage. Islam anarqui ki ijazat nahi deta.
Yahan hum phir se wohi baat samajh lein: Western concept of absolute freedom ek khayali (idealistic) concept hai jo real world me exist nahi karta. Har society apne red lines banati hai. Islami society ki red line me sab se upar Allah, Nabi, Quran, aur Islam ki muqaddas cheezein hain. Unki tahaffuz ke liye agar sakhti bhi karni pade to Musalman isko apna imaani farz samajhte hain, na ke zulm. In baton se aam admi ki daily life me koi hindrance nahi aati – koi aap ko zabardasti musalman hone ko nahi kehta, na masjid janay ko majboor karta hai. Magar agar aap already Muslim ho kar apne Nabi (ﷺ) par hi var kar jaayein, to phir aap ne social contract tor diya jis par Muslim society khadi hai. Phir aap ko us society me rehne ka koi haq nahi banta.
Akhir me ek baat: Islam constructive critique se nahi darta. Islami tareekh me kitne hi scholars hue jinhnon ne khule aam Masail par behas ki, nizamon par naqd ki – unhe saja nahi mili balki unki raye ko ahteraam se liya gaya. To tanqeed (critique) aur gustakhi (insult) me farq hai. Tanqeed ilm ke daayre me hoti hai beghair tauheen ke, jabke gustakhi me maqsad hi dil-azaari aur behurmati hota hai. Pehle ko Islam encourage karta hai (aap dekh sakte hain ki Musalman doosre mazhabon se behas-mubahisa karte rahe hain, khud Nabi (ﷺ) ke paas bhi Nasara, Yahood aate the sawal le kar), jabke doosre ko Islam bardasht nahi karta kyunke wo fitna hai, na ke ilm.
Natija ye ke Islam ek balance chaahta hai: banda Allah ki bandagi me free rahe ke achhe kaam khule aam kare aur bole, magar kisi ko ye azadi nahi ke wo doosron ke mazhab ko ya paighambar ko gaaliyan dena shuru kar de. Aaj ki civilized world bhi is baat ko subtly maanta hai (jaise hamne misal di, har jaga kuch hadh hai). To is me hairani ki baat nahi honi chahiye ke Gustakhi-e-Rasool Islamic law me ek bari no-go area hai. Ye Allah ke kaafi hone ke khilaaf nahi balki Allah ke hukm se hi paighambar ki azmat ko protect karne ki koshish hai. Allah ne khud Nabi (ﷺ) se farmaya tha: “Nabi ki tauheen karne walon ke liye duniya aur aakhirat me dardnaak azaab hai” (mafhum), to Muslim hukumat us azaab ka kuch hissa duniya me dekar Allah ke hukum ki passdari karti hai.
Conclusion
Upar diye gaye tamaam behas-o-mubahise ka khulasa yeh hai ke Islam ka hijab aur haya ka nizaam koi puranay zamane ka takaza nahi, balki insani fitrat se hum-aahang ek bahut hikmat wala ahkaam hai. Humne dekha ke hijab ka pehla maqsad Allah ki raza hai jiske badle momin Jannat jaisi la-faani kamyabi ki tawakkho rakhta hai – aisi kamyabi ke aage duniya ke faide haaqeer hain. Phir hijab se ek Muslim identity ubharti hai jo auron ko bhi inspire kar sakti hai aur khud musalman aurat ke dil me apne deen ki izzat ko mazboot karti hai.
Humne ye bhi samjha ke modesty ka concept sirf aurat ke liye nahi; Islam chahta hai mardon aur aurton dono ki taraf se parda ho – mard apni nazar aur libaas dono me haya layein, auratein apne libaas aur rawayye me haya layein. Biology aur psychology ko dekhte hue hijab ek rational approach nazar aata hai kyunke mardon ki jismi aur nazari kamzori ko ye address karta hai. Ye bilkul us tarah hai jaise hum kehte hain seatbelt lagao, halanke ghalti truck driver ki ho sakti hai – prevention better than cure. Hijab kisi bhi aurat ko kam-tar nahi karta, balki usko izzat aur tahaffuz ki nishaani deta hai. Isko hum maslan yun samajh sakte hain ke ek mulk ka flag (jhanda) jab koi pakar kar chal raha hota hai to log uska ehtaraam karte hain, us par hamla hamla samjha jata hai – waise hi hijab ek flag of faith hai jo ek musalman aurat sar-e-aam lehra rahi hai; ye uski azmat aur maqam ko aur buland karta hai.
Rahi baat “azaadi” ki, to Islam azaadi ka hami hai lekin behisi (anarchy) ka nahi. Aaj ke daur me jis tarah har koi freedom ke naare lagata hai, Islam uska galat matlab nikalne se rokta hai. Sachi azaadi woh hai jo insaan ko gunaahon ki ghulami se azaad kar ke Allah ki bandagi me laa de. Hijab isi bandagi ki ek ada hai. Isi tarah, azadi-e-izhar ka matlab ye nahi ke insaan apni zubaan se zahar phelata phire. Jis tarah aap kehti hain “Tumhari azaadi wahin tak hai jahan tak mere naak shuru hoti hai”, bilkul waise hi Islam me bhi azaadi ki had wahan tak hai jahan doosron ke iman aur izzat-e-nafs (self-respect) par laat na pare. Hate speech chahe kisi ke khilaaf ho, Islam me manaa hai – khaas kar agar wo Allah, Nabi, Quran, Islam ke khilaaf ho jo ke momineen ki jaan se azeez cheezein hain. To agar koi aise harkat karta hai, Islam use anjaam tak pahunchane ka ikhtiyar deta hai (ek organized Muslim state ko). Ye zahiri sakhti asl me samaji fayde ke liye hai – taki na musalmano ke jazbaat mujruh hon, na hi koi khud apne liye akhiraat ka bura anjaam muqarrar kar baithe.
Akhir me, hum ye kahenge ke Islam ke har hukum me Allah ne duniya aur akhirat dono ki bhalaai rakhi hai. Hijab aur parda se na sirf ek fard apne Parwardigar ki itaat karta hai, balki pure muashre me hayayi, tahzeeb aur ehteram ka mahaul paida hota hai. Aur jab ek moashra haya-daar ban jaye, to bohat si buraiyaan jarr se ukhad jaati hain: jaise benikahi taluqaat, chher-chhar, rape culture waghera. Aap khud sochein, jis society me libaas aur rawayye dono me haya ho, wahan ki aurat aur mard donon zyada peaceful aur dignified life jeete honge. In sab baton ke bawajood, agar koi kehta hai “nahi, hume puri azadi chahiye har cheez ki”, to frankly phir usse ye maanna hoga ke wo Islam ki values se khud ko alag kar raha hai. Kyunke Islam to apni pehchaan hi “samm-e-t’aat” (sunna aur maanna) ko banata hai.
Hamari dua hai ke Allah ta’ala hum sab ko Islam ki baaton ko samajhne, apni fitrat ko theek tana se pehchanne aur apne Rab ke hukum par sidq-e-dil se amal karne ki taufeeq de. Aaj ke is modern daur me agar hum in purane ahkaam ko samajh kar apnayeinge, to duniya ko bhi ek behtar rasta dikha sakenge jahan izaat-e-niswan (women’s dignity) aur akhlaqi paiwand (moral fabric) mehfooz rahega. Allah ne hume “behtareen ummat” is liye banaya ta ke hum achhi baat ko promote karein aur buri ko roken. To chaliye, hume fakhr se apne deen ki baaton par amal karna hai, inko samjhaana hai, aur jo galat fehmiyan phaila rahe hain unko ilm aur mohabbat ke saath door karna hai. Islam ki khoobsurti aur uski hikmat ko duniya ke samne lana hum sab ki zimmedari hai.
“Haya iman ka hissah hai” – ye Humare Nabi (ﷺ) ka farman hai, jise hume hamesha yaad rakhna hai. Agar kahin koi sawaal ya shaq reh gaya ho aap ke zehan me, to neeche diye gaye FAQs par bhi ek nazar daal lein, shayad un se aap ke doubts clear ho jaayein. Allah hum sab ko samajh de. (Aameen.)
FAQs
- Q: Kya Quran me hijab ya parde ka hukum waqai maujood hai?
A: Ji haan, Quran me kayee jagah aurat ke libaas aur parday ka zikr hai. Do aham ayatain hain: Surah An-Nur, ayat 31, jismein Allah ne auraton ko farmaya ke “apne seenon par apni chadaron ke corner daal lo” (ya’ni duppata wagera se apna sine aur zeenat dhak lo). Dusri jagah Surah Al-Ahzab, ayat 59 me hukm aaya: “Aey Nabi, apni biwiyon, betiyon aur momin auraton se keh dijiye ke apni chadarein (jilbaab) apne upar lehra liya karein. Is se ye zyada munasib hai taa-ke woh pehchaani jaayein aur tang na ki jaayein.”quran.com In dono ayaton se hume pata chalta hai ke Allah ta’ala ne aurton ke liye parday ke parameters set kiye. Hadees sharif me bhi aata hai ke Nabi (ﷺ) ne farmaya aurat jab baligh ho jaye to usko sar aur jism poshida rakhna chahiye, sirf chehra aur hath nazar aa sakte hain (Sunan Abi Dawud). To hijab ka concept Quran-o-Hadees dono se sabit hai. - Q: Kya hijab ka matlab sirf scarf pehen lena hai? Ya pura burqa pehna لازمی hai?
A: “Hijab” ek wase’ lafz hai jisse muraad puray parde ka nizaam hai. Isme libaas bhi shamil hai aur overall modest behavior bhi. Libaas ke maamle me hijab ka basic matlab hai awrat apna jism dhankay (head to toe) siwaye chehre aur haathon ke, libaas na itna tight ho ke jism ki nakeesh dikhne lage na itna patla ke aar paar nazar aaye. Headscarf (dupatta ya scarf) us package ka ek hissa hai kyunke baal bhi zeenat me shumar hote hain. Burqa ya abaya ek tarah ka loose over-garment hai jo bohat si auratein pehenti hain kyunke wo hijab ko aur behtar andaaz me poora karta hai (especially outdoors). Lekin agar koi aurat modest kapron ke saath sirf dupatta leti hai aur shar’i had tak dhaki hui hai, to ye bhi theek hai. Yani zaruri ye hai ke sharamgah, baazu, gardan, baal waghera sab covered hon – ab chahe wo burqe se ho, chaadar se ya lambay dheelay kurte se. Rahi baat chehre ki, to aksar ulema ke nazdeek chehra dhakna “Mustahab” (achha hai) lekin “Farz” nahi. Kuch stricter raaye ke mutabiq farz hai, magar majority opinion yehi hai ke chehra uncovered bhi ho to chalega. Summing up, Hijab = decency in clothing. Sirf fashion ke taur par sir pe rumal rakh lena aur tight jeans aur half-sleeves pehen lena hijab nahi kehlayega. - Q: Mardon ke liye bhi koi parday ya haya ke rules hain Islam me?
A: Bilkul, mardon ke liye bhi Islam ne haya aur parday ke ahkaam diye hain. Sab se pehle to Quran me mardon ko nigaah jhuka kar chalne ka aur apne pinvd (private parts) ko chhupane ka hukm hai (Surah Nur 24:30). Ye “nazron ka parda” kehlata hai aur mardon ke liye bohat aham hai. Phir mardon ka bhi apna satr hai jise dusron se chhupana hota hai – shar’an mardon ka satr naabhi (navel) se le kar ghutne tak hai, yaani ye hissay kisi ko nazar nahi aane chahiyen. Iske ilawa mardon ke liye bhi gahib libaas pehenne ki mana’ai hai – jaise itna patla ke jism jhalke, ya aisa libaas jo aurton ki mushabaahat (imitate) me pehna jaye, waghera. Hadith me aaya ke Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ne mardon ko resham (silk) aur sone (gold) ke libaas/zevar se mana farmaya, taki mard sadgi aur mardangi walay libaas pehne. To gaur karein, Islam sirf aurat ko target nahi karta, mardo’n ko bhi apne attire aur nazar ka purdah rakhne ka paband karta hai. Aaj kal ke daur me ye cheez mushahid hai ke mardon ko bhi apni modesty ki hadh cross nahi karni chahiye. Gym waghera me shirtless ghoomna, ya extremely tight kapde pehen kar niklna ye cheezein ek moashra band karta hai. Yani Haya dono genders ke liye barabar ahmiyat rakhti hai. Haan, expression ka andaaz mukhtalif hai (mard balon ko uncover rakh sakta hai, aurat ke baal zeenat hain to wo dhakegi). - Q: Kya hijab aur parda aurat ki azaadi chheen lene wali baat nahi? Parda na karna chahe to?
A: Dekhiye, sabse pehli baat to ye hai ke Islam kisi bhi hukm ko “saza” ya zabardasti ke tor par nadeem nahi karta. Hijab ka hukum bhi ek ibaadat hai jo ek musalman aurat Allah ki khushi ke liye khud apni marzi se karti hai. Is me uski khud mukhtari (willpower) aur niyyat shamil hoti hai. Agar koi zabardasti karwa bhi de, aur uske dil me yaqeen na ho, to Allah ke nazdeek us jabri parde ki itni qeemat nahi jitni khud apne irade se kiye gaye parde ki hai. To empowerment ye hai ke ek aurat ye faisla khud leti hai ke wo Allah ki baat manegi aur society ke be-wajah pressure (jis me har waqat uski khubsurati ko judge kiya jata hai) se apne aap ko azaad karegi. Aaj ke daur me kahein to hijab ek tarah ka rebellion hai objectification ke khilaf – ye elan hai ke “hum khawateen ko apni body display karke kisi ki nazron me achha banne ki zarurat nahi. Hum apne rab ke hukum se khubsurti ko chhupa kar apni pehchan banayenge.” Ye baat booster deti hai aurat ke self-respect ko. Baaqi mazhabi farz hone ke natay, ek Islami muashre me hijab enforce bhi kiya ja sakta hai (jaise bohot se Muslim mamlak me dress code laws hain). Magar ideal yehi hai ke auratein khud convince hon aur bina majboori ke parda karen. Jo log isko “azaadi cheen lena” kehte hain wo asal me azaadi ka matlab ghalat samjhe huay hain. Azaadi ye nahi hoti ke insaan beshuk izaaz ho kar jo chaahe kare – ye to jungle law ho gaya. Civilized azaadi ye hai ke aap khud apni behteri ke liye kuch qaidain apnayein. Agar ek aurat yeh samajh kar (aur humne upar logically samjha bhi diya) ke hijab uski behteri ke liye hai, phir wo khushi se is code ko follow karegi. Aisi soch rakhne wali bohat si Muslim women aaj Western countries me bhi hai jo kehti hain ke “Hijab is my choice, my right.” Toh kis azaadi ki baat ho rahi hai? Kya modern society un auraton ki azaadi ki izzat karegi jo hijab ko choose kar rahi hain? Afsoos ki baat hai ke France jaise mumalik ne double standards dikhaye – ek taraf wo kehte hain kapde tumhare ikhtiyaar ki cheez hain, dusri taraf hijab lene par ban laga dete hain. To “azaadi” ka naara buhut selective ho gaya hai. Islam is double standard se pak hai. Wo kehta hai ke “hijab Allah ka hukm hai, musalman aurat agar khud apne Allah ki bandi hai to wo khushi se apne rab ki baat manegi – isi me uski bhalai hai.” - Q: Kya hijab lene se har tarah ki ched-chad ya harrasment khatam ho jaati hai?
A: Hum yeh nahi kehte ke 100% of cases me hijab ek magic shield ka kaam karta hai. Dunya me har tarah ke log hain – kuch aise badmaash ya beghairat ho sakte hain jo hijab aur burqa dekh kar bhi badtameezi kar guzrein. Lekin aise haalaat me bhi kasoor us badmaash ka hai, aurat ka hargiz nahi. Hijab lene wali aurat ne to apni taraf se poori precaution li hai, ab agar koi ghatiya insaan phir bhi zaleel kare to qanoon usko sakht saza dega. Hijab lene ka yeh matlab bilkul nahi ke “agar pehne to tum mehfooz, na pehne to tum khud zimmedar ho”. Ye ghalat tasawwur hai aur Islam isko support nahi karta. Haan, hum yeh zarur kehte hain ke statistics aur aam tajribon se yeh baat saabit hoti hai ke hijab aur modest libaas overall environment ko behtar bana deta hai. Jahan aksar khawateen libaas me pur-dhang hoti hain, wahan ke mardon ki niyat par bhi asar parta hai. Iske baraks jahan vulgarity aam ho (jaise kuch nightlife culture waghera), wahan jurm ke chances bhi barh jate hain. Yeh aam samajh ki baat hai. So, hijab is a preventative measure, not an absolute cure. Aur sab se badh kar, hijab ka primary maqsad “mardon se bachao” nahi balki “Allah ki ita’at” hai – ye baat hume hamesha yaad rakhni chahiye. دنیاوی hifaazat bonus hai jo aksar hasil hoti hai, magar asal reward Allah ki taraf se hai hijab par amal ka.
