Let us all ask. [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=4) The question is quite clear and explicit. What does our Lord say to us? [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=7) “So that you may be recognized and not harmed, do not be recognized,” He says. In fact, Allah the Almighty’s message is very clear. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=15) Everyone says clothing is a personal matter, but no. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=19) There is no such standard in modest dress. There are Allah’s boundaries, Allah’s sovereignty. There is an order, a system He has established over us all. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=29) Our Lord says, “Let them dress loosely, let them not reveal themselves.” [0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=34) If her neck is exposed, that is not modest dress. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=36) If she wears a T-shirt over a tight-fitting top, that is not modest dress. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=40) There is no such concept of modest dress. Allah the Almighty does not want this from us. He says they should not flaunt themselves like the women of ignorance. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=51) In other words, I cover my head, but except for my head, I show everything. I show my lips by painting them. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=57) I make my lips look fuller with makeup. I get nose surgery, have it reshaped. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=63) Everything that can be done to hijab is being done. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=67) It is covered like this, there is mascara here, it is covered like this, and beneath this eyebrow is plucked. [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=73) Everything Allah, the Almighty, has cursed, we say, “There’s no harm in it.” Everyone does it, the majority does it. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=82) By saying “the majority” over and over, our Lord’s command is being emptied of its meaning. Normally, if you told a man, “Take your wife and make her dance in front of everyone,” he’d say, “Am I a cuckold? Why would I make my wife dance in front of everyone?” In the middle of the wedding, he adorns his wife, [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=99) dresses her up, puts on her headscarf. Dresses her in all those tight clothes. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=105) Has her put on makeup and says, “My wife, while covered, will go to a relatives’ wedding. I’ll make her dance in front of everyone.” This Are you not afraid of flaunting yourselves this much? [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=116) Are you not afraid of rebelling this much? [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=119) Our Lord does not tell us, “Don’t wear makeup, don’t adorn and prettify yourselves.” [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=124) Our Lord says you should do it where it is lawful. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=127) That is, we will do it for our spouses. We can do it around our children. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=132) We can do it around fellow believers whose faith we trust. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9I4U3fTjQDqh/en/islamic-modesty-headscarves-makeup-and-tight-clothing?t=136) If modest covering were just a headscarf, everyone would be modestly covered.
