Islamic sisters! There is a famous saying, ‘The thirsty person must walk to the well’ but this Madanī example tells of a well walking to a thirsty person, i.e. some Islamic sisters came to this modern Islamic sister’s house and held a Sunnaĥ-inspiring Ijtimā’ there, which changed her destiny and transformed her into a Madanī Islamic sister. It is true that individually visiting people at their homes, meeting them politely with a smiling face and presenting them with Madanī pearls lead many people to getting reformed.
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Smiling whilst talking is a Sunnaĥ. If someone habitually smiled whilst speaking, then he will not receive the reward for following the Sunnaĥ. When smiling you must have this intention, ‘I will smile with the intention to fulfil a Sunnaĥ’. I wish we all had a habit of smiling whilst speaking with the intention to follow the Sunnaĥ. Please accept another Madanī pearl: Sayyidatunā Umm-e-Dardā رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْهَا said about Sayyidunā Abū Dardā رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, ‘He (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ) smiled whenever he spoke. When I asked him about it, he (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ) answered, ‘I saw the Beloved Prophet of Allah (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم), he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kept smiling whilst talking.’ (Makārim-ul-Akhlāq liṭ-Ṭabarānī, Raqm 21)
Question: What if someone says ‘Wearing a veil these days is not necessary’?
Answer: Such comments are extremely absurd, adverse and ignorant. These comments indicate the rejection of the obligation (Farḍiyyat) of Islamic veil, and rejecting the entire concept of Islamic veil is unbelief (Kufr). However, if someone believes in the obligation of Islamic veil but rejects a particular kind of it which is
