Starting to reply to your queries now.
As I've said in my last post that I give up.I really meant doing that.
I never said that you are asking me to stop following something that has been conveyed to me by my Prophets[pace be upon them].I said that we muslims don't raise a question when we know that Allah has asked us to something.Just like we keep 'roza' in Ramadhan,the same is the case with many of our cultural beliefs.I think there was a misinterpretation due to miscommunication.😆
All Muslim women who don't follow pardah as guided by Allah will be accountable to their creator on the judgement day.
This thread is not about a religion but the cultural believes of Asad and to explain why Asad does not likes western outfits.Muslims don't have a cast by the way.Allah never made one.For Allah all people are equal.
Zoya and her family is surely going to be accountable on the judgement day for some serious issues of dress code.I have deliberately not mentioned this thing before.If Allah has asked women not to wear clothes that resemble a men's apparel,it should be followed without a question.But then again, Allah never imposed anything on the followers of any religion.This why relaxations are seem to be adapted every single second in the way cultures and religions are followed in this globalized era.
If God wishes women to behave in a certain manner and Asad simply asked the same to his sister then Asad didn't commit a crime.I agree that this is what Asad thinks and believes.He should have been a bit lenient to Najma.But frankly speaking Najma lacks a convincing power.Had Zoya been in Najma's place,Asad's angry glares could have had no impact on her.
This is why I've mentioned in the end of the first post that Zoya is surely going to change the outlook of others towards certain things in life.
If you remember today's episode,Dilshad has said the same and I was very happy when she said that Asad needs to learn that people from a difficult culture can also be good and must be treated with respect.Asad can be a bit unreasonable at times,I agree.

If you ask me as a Muslim girl,I would like to say that I have stopped wearing jeans after class 7th.Noone asked me to do that.I simply didn't feel like wearing it and was not much comfortable in it.
My parents encouraged me to go for kurti jeans but I could never get at ease in that dress.I've wore skirts till class X coz of my school and I certainly didn't have any problem in wearing it.
I'm just like Asad in the fact that if I stick a few things to my values,I won't let any circumstances and I any situation,place or person affect me.I can bring a change in myself only if my heart agrees for the amendment in my personality.
It's my personal request to send me a reply to this post as pm coz I don't wish this thread to get closed coz of religion based issues.
I'm glad that you are still posting your quesries and are willing to discuss this matter with such a cool mind.
That is really thoughtful of you Payal di.
I love you for being so mature and understanding .
Take care!
