The
following conversation took place between a grandmother and her grand-daughter.
Grandma:
“Zainab, where are you going?”
Zainab:
“Grandma, I am going to School.
Grandma:
“Really? Please come and sit down and let's talk for a minute before you go. I
think we still have ample time before the Lecture begins? Don't we?”
think we still have ample time before the Lecture begins? Don't we?”
Zainab:
“Yes, about an hour.”
Grandma:
“The way you are dressed, in fact, you look very sexy.”
Zainab:
(Smiling) “Thank
you very much ma.”
Grandma:
“Hmmm. Zainab, I can see you love that compliment. Please tell me, do you need
someone to have sex with you?”
Zainab:
“Ooh, no! Grandma. Why this question?”
Grandma:
“If you do not need someone to have sex with you, then, why do you dress 'sexy'?”
Zainab:
“There's nothing to worry about, Grannie. I just want to....”
Grandma:
(cuts in) ... “dressed to kill, as usual! Zainab, a Godly girl should never
feel proud or swollen-headed when someone tells her that she looks 'sexy'. In
fact, it's a very bad and insulting compliment.
“The
intention of dressing sexy is to arouse men, That's all. That's the reason why
prostitutes dress this way. They dress this way because they want someone to
have sex with them and pay them. They do everything possible to 'look sexy' and
attractive - not to just one person, but to the entire men in town.
“They
expose their breasts, they wear things that will reveal all their endowed
curves -- and even private parts of their body -- Just to ‘look sexy’ and
attractive to men, so that they will not rest until they have a carnal
knowledge of them, for money. Please, Zainab, are you also trying to look that
way so that you will be attractive to men for sex?”
Zainab
looked down, and was speechless.
Grandma:
(continues) “This is the reason why you are not getting a husband. Do you still
wonder why suitable suitors rush to take you to bed... then, after saying *'you
are hot,'* they dump you? They feel that you cannot stay with *'one man'*
alone. Do you now realise that I, your grandma, am not the one using witchcraft
against you?
“You
are young, fit and attractive, although you are a Muslim yet you always look so
worldly. When you dress like this to School, the probability of bringing even
the lecturer down is very high. But remember that 'woe betide the one by whom a
righteous man is made to fall...'I know you can remember this scripture very
well. Well, my beloved grand-daughter, I am done. You can now go.
Zainab:
“Thank you very much, Grandma. I have never looked at it like this before. From
today onwards, I promise never to dress again *to look sexy*. I will rather
dress to *please Allah (SWT)* and *glorify Allah* with my dressing. Thank you
very much ma.
Grandma:
“You are welcome, my dear.”
(Seeing
that Zainab started going towards her room, she said). “But, are you not going
to school anymore?”
Zainab:
“I will go Grannie. I just want to change my dress, first.”
Grandma:
“May God bless you for doing that.”
Please
share on to the females in your lives including wives, daughters, sisters,
nieces, cousins, next door neighbors, friends, etc.
Most
girls do not have someone to tell them the truth. Encourage them to read and
react to it -- just as Zainab did -- because ‘We Are Addressed the Way We Dress.’
Let
us dress right to reflect the Godliness in our lives.
