Article from msn grp!

Article ni me ambik dari Islaminoxford@groups.msn.com ayat yg di gunakan agak tajam huhu bagus ah bagi org sedar nak membacanya nanti, org putih biasa ah straight foward ha tu dia ayat segedebuk tertusuk ke dalam qalbu :-)

Assalamu Alaykum The question is do we or those close to us fall into this most disgraced category? If so, are we prepared not to smell the beautiful fragrance of Jannah? For how long can we delude ourselves or be deluded by the deluder (Shaytaan)? Let us carefully read the words of our most magnanimous Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam for whom we have deepest love and respect and ponder upon the gravity of these words. By not taking heed we are only destroying our Hereafter and contributing to destroying others. May Allah give us all the correct understanding. Ameen.

NAK@D IN SPITE OF BEING DRESSED! Shaykh .Ashiq Elahi Madani (r.a.)

Abu Hurairah Radhi-Allahu-Anhu reports that the Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam warned, “I have not seen two parties of the occupants of Hell (because they do not exist now; they will come into being later in time). One party will consist of those who will hold whips like the tails of oxen, with which they will lash the people ( in a cruel manner). The other party will consist of women who will be dressed, yet
nak@d. They will be those who tempt men and are tempted by them. They will have large heads like the bent humps of camels. They (the two parties ) will neither enter paradise nor smell its scent. And verily its scent can be smelled from such a large distance.”(Bukhari, Muslim)

The point of discussion here is the second party mentioned by the Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam i.e. women who will be
nak@d in spite of being dressed. The implication is that they will wear clothes of such thin material which will not conceal their bodies. There may also be another implication: if the cloth is not thin, the dress will be so tight – fitting on the body that it will reveal the whole shape of the body and thus will eliminate the purpose of concealing the body.

Another meaning of being dressed and yet being
nak@d is that there will be inadequate clothing on the body leaving a large part of it nak@d, especially those parts which modest women conceal from the view of men. Nowadays, Muslim women wear transparent clothing, or garments without sleeves or the sleeves are so short that their arms are visible. Their legs are nak@d, head bare and the neck of the dress is so large and open at the front and back that the upper part of the body is clearly exposed.

Thereafter Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam CONTINUED THAT THESE WOMEN WILL TEMPT MEN AND WILL BE TEMPTED BY THEM. In other words the fashion of remaining
nak@d will not arise out of poverty, but because women will want to expose their bodies to tempt men. Another means of temptation they will adopt is that, while walking, they will shake their heads (which will be without scarves) just like hump of the fast running camel shakes and bends downwards. The comparision with the hump of the camel illustrates how the women will enlarge their heads by tying their head upwards in big knots.

At the end of the hadith it is said that such women will neither enter paradise nor smell its fragrance. Thereafter it is said that the scent of paradise is smelled from a great distance. This Hadith does not mention the distance from which the fragrance of paradise may be smelled. Some Ahadith however, say that the scent of paradise can be smelled from a distance of hundred years journey. Just imagine what a misfortune it would be to be deprived of not only paradise but even its fragrance.

May Allah give our women the ability and the correct guidance to cover their bodies according to the shariah. Ameen. (Adapted)
