Who are the ''OPPRESSORS''of women ???

For many Muslimahs out there this is kinda a broken record ! To wear either the niqab or the hijab is a symbol of oppression ! (sorry but you gota Laugh Out Loud !)....

Firstly, how can a garment or a piece cloth oppress someone may I ask?

Do they not consider just for one moment ! hang on this might be this woman's choice ? What if we were to say the same thing about them, like for example ; this woman is being oppressed by her husband he makes her wear revealing outfits" Lol The statement would be regarded as completely ridiculous.

What amazes me is the very people who label these women as being oppressed are the ones who actually oppress them. If they were really concerned about the liberation of Islamic Women, then why do they refuse them a job or a certain position on these grounds? When their claim is that Muslim women should be given the right to education as well as the freedom to advance themselves. WE AGREE ! But Hang on ! that's what Islam allows in the first place ! The difference being Islam allows such rights whilst also being able to wear the hijab or niqab. Whilst (the so called Liberators) only allow such things if the hijab or niqab are not worn. So who are the oppressors I ask ? Isn't preventing a group from social advancement on the grounds they wish to practise their faith; a form of oppression ?

Or just because someone wears revealing outfits and they are given a top position, does this mean they are liberated ? Isn't society oppressing them because they are faced with the ideology that social advancement can only be achieved through these means ?

Finally, why do we live in a society where by women think they have to act like men to think they are being treated as equals? They themselves are conforming to the idea that men are superior to women. When in reality both roles are just as important in society. The thing about Islam is that it values both roles and it values a women for her role. It doesn't make her feel she needs to act like a man to be given any worth in society. You see a Muslimah does not need compliments of a man to make her feel special, her rights in Islam does that for her anyway. Just because Islam gives the man the role of being a protector of women ! that certainly does not make him an oppressor ! When a president or celebrity goes around with body guards to protect them, are they regarded as being oppressed ? NO ! they are seen with importance that's why they being protected. Like the metaphor which is widely used to describe a Muslim Woman. She is like a jewel to society. Her beauty can only be seen by those that are deserving of her. However, her true beauty in my view is how she confirms to her God given role as a daughter/ Sister/ wife and Mother (and above all her Iman).


On that note I'd like to say Alhamdulilah for being a Muslimah !
