Few days before I was travelling by a public bus. A girl sitting beside me asked her friend, "Do you wear sleeveless shirt?". The other girl replied "yes I do, but not in Low-down areas. You know people in these areas are quite backward. They stare at you if you wear sleeveless shirt or jeans. I usually prefer to wear sleeveless when I go to high-class areas. People in these posh areas are quite civilized. They don't bother whether you wear jeans or trousers or sleeveless".
This conversation between these two girls made me think that is it the code of our ethics? We can wear every kind of dress if we are going to a high class locality. We are permitted to do anything in a five-star restaurant but when we go to a low-down area, we wear a mask of false virtue to hide our ugly faces from others.Is this the standard of our morality? Are we suppose to cover our bodies only to avoid public gaze? Don't we have inner sense of guilt when we expose our bodies only to considered fashionable and stylish? where is our inner sense conscience? Our inner sense of guilt? Our inner morality? Aren't we leading a life of double standards?
I often witness girls wearing "Abayas", delicately fitted to expose their form and figure. I wonder what is the use of wearing Abaya if it is not meant to hide your shape. Girls often enter to be an emblem of virtue.
But once they are free to do anything they like, as if morality is a kind of any garment can be put on and put off at any time when they want. The most deplorable facts is that the even Abaya has entered in the domain of fashion now a days. Girls are eager to wear stylish and fitted Abayas. The word "Pardah" has lost its meaning in our society. We observe Pardah only to pretend morality not to fulfil orthodox religious and moral obligations. I pray that may ALLAH enable us to understand the true virtue and morality. Ameen
