Spring Time: Shaytan's favorite season...
Im a winter kind of guy.I love being bundled up in layers of clothes, having a hoodie tight on the sides of my face, sleeping with 2 comforters in the freezing cold basement with one foot poking out kind of like a thermometer.
But alas, the world spins and revolves and in comes the spring.
Now I love spring time weather: The sun out with a beautiful breeze floating through, birds chirping and flowers blooming.
So whats the problem you might ask?
In the winter, you walk around campus and you hardly notice the fitnah around you. Of course there is fitnah, but you can really focus on school and the distractions that do exist are able to be avoided.
In comes the hot weather, and off come the clothes.
I mean, the entire winter its like there is a sense of modesty in the air. People HAVE to cover themselves and whether people realize it or not, the sensitivity level of what the eye sees as pleasureful increases.
This is evident at the first sign of nice weather when the vixons decide to wear halter tops and low cut tops and bottoms, and guys think that all of a sudden there was some sort of mass transfer that happened at school where all these attractive women started attending classes mid semester.
I see guys breaking their necks to lay their eyes on a woman's body for just one extra second so that they can gain that little bit of hapiness from that which they saw. One of these people is this guy I work with, who would always make it a point to come to my vaccuum department and give a hug to my coworker lady whenever she would decide to wear a tight shirt. Then one day I blew his spot.
"Hey fulana, you know the only reason he gives you a hug is because he wants to feel your body pressed against his, right?"
Ive never seen a dark skinned black man blush as this man blushed.
I then asked him what the difference was between him and a dog. If any person is to pat their leg, a dog is going to jump up onto the leg, so is that not exactly how this man is acting?
Wa amma man khaafa maqaama rabbihee wa nahan nafsa'anil hawaa'. Fa innal jannatahiyal ma'waa.
So back to the point.
Allah swt commands women to cover themselves in the Quran by instructing them to 'cover their ornaments'. Subhan Allah, all these women have been going to the school and have been walking up and down the hallways yet people didnt notice them like that. Then all of a sudden, they take off some clothes, and everyone looks at them like they are models or something.
Its because Allah swt is al Hakeem and He swt so accurately described the beauty of a women as ornaments, as these ornaments were always there, but they were not exposed thus not attracting the eyes. But the minute you show these ornaments it attracts all types of attention.
May Allah reward our sisters who cover themselves as Allah swt has instructed them to do so, carrying the banner of Islam every time they go outside, regardless of what the climate is like outside.
