Asad Farooqui responds to Maulana Nadeemul Wajidi’s view of Hijab

The one defence of this inhuman practice of the Burqa, making Muslim women one-eyed creatures, is the Aya 53 of Surah Al-Ahzab. Obviously, the Maulana doesn't seem to understand or is probably being mischievous when he ignores the fact that this Aya only came to teach good manners to the uncouth and illiterate Bedouins among whom Islam came to begin with and addressed them directly in the first instance. … but to stretch it to justify the inhuman practice of putting women under the leash of the burqa is truly a travesty of Islam. It amounts to demeaning and belittling the great religion of Islam which came in the world to liberate and not to enslave humanity. But the Maulana is so grateful to Allah for making him an 'Islamic scholar' that he doesn't want to leave anything to Him. He makes his own lexicon of what is good and what is bad and in his own imaginary world keeps manufacturing a 'unanimous' opinion of 'Islamic scholars'. -- Asad Farooqui
