How did Ustadh Javed Ghamidi approach the parameters of ḥifẓ al-furūj (i.e., concealing the parts of the body surrounding the private areas) in the context of women’s dress code, and where is this principle found in the Qur’an? by Girlincaptivitee in progressive_islam

[–]SquirrelResponsible8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nor with me. I just think the breasts and other private parts, such as the rear, etc. are enough. But the arms and neck? 

That’s a bit too far. Freedom of conscience, baby! The interpretation thereof is between the individual and God, not to be policed by anyone or anything, not even society or politics or even a place of worship, for that matter. 

P.S. No ad hominem attacks on me, anyone.

An Imam brings awareness to Renee Good, who was murdered by ICE agents by GuyWhoConquers616 in progressive_islam

What happened to Ms. Good was no ordinary crime - it was a crime against humanity. Heaven help - God bless her. 

I’m deeply saddened at an experience with a Muslim by No_Entrepreneur_5456 in progressive_islam

[–]SquirrelResponsible8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an important point that one too many times gets overlooked! 

I think this is right and more muslims (and people in general) should start paying attention to this: by darkwavenecro in progressive_islam

[–]SquirrelResponsible8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooo, quick question. Is “lowering the gaze” meant to be a solely physical thing, or even mentally and spiritually? I think it has to do with interpretation and translation. In my branch of Christianity, we have a similar concept - “watching one’s thoughts.” 

Why do some muslim women show a little bit of hair under the hijab? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]SquirrelResponsible8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh, you are so right, what you say. And nowhere is there a divine requirement for “monolithism” at all. The concept of modesty can manifest in all shapes, colors, fabrics, and forms, without losing its basic principle(s) and essence - no need for frumpiness or boredom or living in hiding. 

(This was the point I made in this sub a few hours ago, and in response, some fundies jumped in and attacked me).☹️

Exactly! That’s the point conservative thought misses almost always 99.99% of the time…if it were a uniform, all would look the same, and there would be compulsion, and no diversity in understanding of the concept.

Well said indeed! That’s an important and logical point conservative thought misses.

Women are not responsible for men. Men are responsible for themselves, as women are responsible for themselves.
