"Have you ever ask yourself why we need food?"
You might be obvious by saying, to live and to keep our self healthy and lively.
Okay then, I admit that food is necessary for life but why we not prefer any type of food.....why we always categorize food into healthy, unhygenic, junk or so whatever.....
As the facts rationalize the logic that only healthy foods are safe and good for the body so we always recommend and consume that food and most of the time we are very much concious about the quality, ingredients, recipe, packaging, and fully ensure ourselves by purchasing high quality food as we are more educated and quality concious people now in the 21st Century.(talking about 1st world and 2nd world specifically).
We always ask for the quality standards either ISO 9001, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 and many more.
If i ask you to choose one of them......whats your choice??
I suppose the left one.....
As flies always attracted by the sweet things reluctantly if they are uncovered....thats why i think we all have been advised to cover the dishes with a wrapper to get rid of these flies and other germs causes the food to be unhygenic.
Let us have another analogy:
Why you always put a seat belt or helmet while driving or riding.......I think its used to ensure safety.
Some of my foreign friends always ask the question that why your women's always wear veil.....I think I some how tried to explain you guys by giving such analogies....
Actually my friends,
Our religion "Islam", always paid much dignity and respect to the women in the Holy teachings and Books more than 1400 years before, as they are the foundation pillars of the better Muslim man.
The physocology and the human studies discovers that this gender is very pure, sensitive and introvert in nature mostly, so we need to handle them with a lot of care.
Thats why our religion ordered women to wear Veil as it act as a wrapper to save the sweetness from the flies flying every where in the environment in terms of "BAD BOYS", "CRITIC EYES" or to pervent any sort of abuse from the environment.
Its not only advised in Islam but also have a look at the link below:
Christians :
"But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.http://www.catholicplanet.com/women/headcovering.htm
"For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels....If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God." (1 Corinthians 11:3-10,16)
Jews:
Today, in fact, some of the most ancient practices are currently being rediscovered and "renovated" by couples seeking to blend tradition with a modern outlook on marriage. One of the most enduring wedding customs, the wearing of the veil, has its origins in the Bible. Upon seeing her husband-to-be, Isaac, for the first time, Rebecca "took her veil and covered herself." (Gen. 25:65)
Another veiling custom, Badekin (the veiling of the bride by the groom just before the wedding), also has biblical roots. Those familiar with the story of Jacob and his two wives, Leah and Rachel, will remember how Jacob's father in law, Laban, tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of his beloved Rachel by veiling Leah heavily before the wedding. By placing the veil over the bride's face himself, a Jewish groom makes sure he doesn't repeat Jacob's mistake. (A more poetic interpretation of badekin is that by covering the bride's face, the groom shows that he values her for more than mere external beauty.)
Islam:
Obligation of Hijab as Stated in Qur'an
"O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (jalabib) close round them (when they go abroad)..." (33:59)
"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms..."(24:31) "…only that which is apparent" applies to women’s face and hands
Hope you all get that..
"... And when you ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a veil. . ." (33:53)
