Book Review: Hijab by Dr. Mohammad Ismail Memon Madani

Hijab by Dr. Mohammad Ismail Memon Madani (Book Review)



In this day and age we see the Jahiliyah (ignorance) currently present has far by exceeded that of former times. This has come as a direct result of abandoning the Hijab, neglecting the Commands of Allah and following the immoral ways of the West. Unfortunately, ‘liberal’ Muslims and many of those who are ignorant have convinced themselves that Hijab is a cultural or Arab tradition and is not part of Islam. Thus Hijab has become a very controversial issue and has resulted in the lay person often becoming confused as to what Islam really says in this regard. But the reality is that Hijab is very much part of Islam and its negligence is the cause of today’s Jahiliyah. By following a scholarly approach, using verses from the Qur’an along with their tafsir, as well as Ahadith and its background, Dr. Ismail Madani, through this book, expertly proofs beyond a doubt that Hijab is most definitely a Command of Allah, which the Wives of the Prophet (SAW), the Sahabiyat and those who came after them all practised and observed. Dr. Ismail further goes on to compare the women of the East to those of the West, and shows how appealing a society whose womenfolk observe Hijab is, whilst those who abandon it end up not only destroying themselves and their families but ultimately cause the destruction of the entire society. Hijab, by Dr Muhammad Ismail Memon Madani, is one book that should be on the bookshelf of every Muslim home. Highly recommended for all those seeking to find out truly what Islam’s position on Hijab is.

Thanks for sharing brother...True, the ideas of the west has truly changed some ideas about hijab...but islam's ideas about hijab are firm...
