Purity (Part 2)
I am a normal male currently going through a mid-life crisis. Like most of us, our natural hormones rage 24/7 and at times it goes overdrive. Now, to have purity of thought while having our hormones work overtime could be very challenging. When I see a female figure, I would love to check out her butts, boobs and figure. Now this is not abnormal. However, many a time, crazy illicit fantasies start to appear and cause havoc to the mind. Scenarios of lust, adultery, fornication and illicit sex begin to heighten the unnoticed sexual desire from within. Even the most conservatively dressed female begin to be undressed by my impure thoughts. This feeling and sensation is nothing new to me and most normal males endure similar experiences.
In Islam, females are not allowed to show any body parts of themselves, except their faces and both palms of their hands. According to orthodox Muslims, the only dress code acceptable to females is one that does not reveal any body parts as mentioned. In addition to this, the dress must not reveal the wearer's body contour. And the color of the dress must be dull so as to not attract attention of the opposite sex. So outfits like slacks, trousers, jeans, t-shirts are definite no-nos. This is only applicable in public. Females are free to dress in any way they desire in the company of their husbands. Therefore, even dresses that are not revealing in any way, but are colorful enough to attract attention, is not acceptable at all. Hair and voice are also considered to be a female's private domain in the public.
Therefore, I am extremely sure that I am not alone in loathing Muslim women that sport a scarf or headgear that covers their hair, but wear clothing that reveals the shape of their assets like their thighs, butts and boobs. The person's hypocrisy in wearing such attire is evident and it leaves a negative impression in many Muslims. I am not an exception.
One fine day, I would love to see a person of the opposite sex without any evil desires blazing through my head. Well, this is easier said than done.
