Questions and Answers about Islamic Veil

in such a glorious way that others develop a desire to emulate and aspire to similar death.

The faith-refreshing departure of the female devotee of Rasūl from the world, the fragrance of rose emanating from her grave after it was necessarily opened after the burial, her safe shroud and body, are all favours from the unseen [Ghayb] for the truth of the Aĥl-us-Sunnaĥ creed. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant that fortunate Islamic sister prosperity on the irā bridge, Resurrection Day, the Deed-scales and grant her the Beloved Prophet’s neighbourhood in Jannat-ul-Firdaus, and may He عَزَّوَجَلَّ accept all these prayers for the biggest of sinners ‘Aṭṭār.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

Żāt āp kī to raḥmat-o-shafqat ĥay sar-basar

Mayn gercheĥ ĥūn tumĥārā khaṭā-wār Yā Rasūlallāĥ

You are an epitome of mercy and compassion

Even though I fail to obey you, O Allah’s Prophet

World has progressed tremendously!

Question: Some people say, ‘The world has progressed tremendously, you should not emphasize the issue of the veil these days!’

Answer: No command of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is beyond the capability of any Muslim. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ stated in the 286th verse of Sūraĥ Al-Baqaraĥ (part 3):

لَا   یُکَلِّفُ   اللّٰہُ   نَفۡسًا   اِلَّا   وُ سۡعَہَا  ؕ

Allah does not burden anyone, but to the extent of his strength.

[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Sūraĥ Al-Baqaraĥ, verse 286)
