The West mocks the Muslim woman for wearing hijab and tries to disgrace her. The West has succeeded in passing laws banning the hijab. Tunis and Turkey restrict the wearing of the headscarves in government buildings and public schools, and discourage women from wearing the hijab on public grounds. France has banned the wearing of any religious symbols, including the hijab in public schools and government buildings. On June 22, 2009; the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, said that "burqas are not welcome in France", commenting that, "In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity."
Belgium passed a law that banned face-covering clothing in public as seen when a Moroccan immigrant was fined due to wearing of the abaya. Some states in Germany have also banned the hijab in public schools. This clearly shows that the West is threatened by the hijab in general and Muslims in particular.Why are some Muslims then trying to fit in with a regime that is trying to destroy Islam in all aspects? We need to stand together as one Ummah fighting this Munkar we see on a daily basis. As Allah ordains:
"Let their arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), commanding al'Ma'ruf (good) and forbidding al'Munkar (evil)" [Al-Imran, 3:104]
We as Muslims should not try to fit into a regime that is man-made but a regime that was sent down by Allah. We need to forbid this Munkar we are seeing and be strong in fighting for the cause of Allah. We should not fear any laws that were man-made but only Allah swt. It is crucial that we as Muslims join together and call for the Islamic ideology to lift this oppression on all Muslims and decrease the Munkars we see. This cause needs perseverance, steadfastness, and patience. As many ayats show the importance of patience as such,
"Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty, ailments and were so shaken and that even the Messenger and those who believed with him said, ‘when will come the Help of Allah?' Yes certainly, the help of Allah is near!" [Al-Baqarah, 2:214]
