صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! We were listening to the blessed verses that were revealed in the acknowledgment of the leader of the believers, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. Let’s listen to another blessed verse that was revealed in accordance with his suggestion, its cause of revelation and some further details:

Second blessed verse regarding the command of veil:

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Malik رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ says: The leader of the believers, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

اِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَیْکَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْاَمَرْتَ اُمَّھَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ بِالْحِجَابِ

Translation: ‘Sinners and pious people come to you, so you should command Ummahat-ul-Mu’mineen (the mothers of the believers) to remain veiled.’ This verse was revealed in agreement with his suggestion about the veil:

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِّاَزْوَاجِكَ وَ بَنٰتِكَ وَ نِسَآءِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ یُدْنِیْنَ عَلَیْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِیْبِهِنَّؕ-ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۤى اَنْ یُّعْرَفْنَ فَلَا یُؤْذَیْنَؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِیْمًا(۵۹)

O Prophet, command your wives, and your daughters, and the women of the Muslims to keep their faces covered with a part of their shawls; this is best that, they are recognised (as being modest) therefore are not harassed. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever Merciful.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran) (Part 22, Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse 59)

 (Bukhari, vol. 3, pp. 304, Hadees 4790)

In Tafseer Sirat-ul-Jinaan, it is written in the explanation of this verse: (in this verse Allah Almighty) said: O dear beloved (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! Tell your pious and pure wives, your daughters and the Muslim women that when they leave their houses out of necessity, they should place a part of their shawls over their faces. (Sirat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 8, pp. 94)
