Islamic Way of Life

Islam provides definite guidelines for all people to follow in all walks of life. The guidance it gives is comprehensive and includes the social, economic, political, moral and spiritual aspects of life. The Quran reminds man of the purpose of his life on Earth, of his duties and obligations towards himself, his kith and kin, his community, his fellow human beings and his Creator. Man is given is left with the challenge of human existence before him so that he might put these high ideals into practice. In Islam, man’s life is a wholesome, integrated unit and not a collection of fragmented, competitive parts. The sacred and secular are not separate parts of a man: they are united in the nature of being human.

Why covering up modesty is Wajib

'Enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guard heir modesty;not to display their beauty and ornaments except what normally appears thereof;let them draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their charms except to their husbands,their fathers,their fathers in law,their own sons,their stepsons,their own brothers,their nephews on either brothers' or sisters' sides,their own womenfolk,their own slaves,male attendants who lack sexual desires or small children who have no carnal knowledge of women.Also enjoin them not to strike their feet(on the ground) in order to draw attention to their hidden trinkets.And O believers!Turn to ALLAH in repentance,all of you,about your past mistakes,so that you may attain salvation.'Surah An-Nur;Ayat 31.
