Thanks for tuning in. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. In 'My Hijab, My Choice', based completely on their own testimonies, five British Muslim women share their experiences in frank and often emotional, intimate interviews. They challenge Western perceptions of the hijab as a symbol of female oppression and describe it as a powerful expression of commitment to their faith, which defines them as strong, independent women.

This film is an exploration of why many Muslim women choose to wear the hijab and also a snapshot of British attitudes to Islam and discrimination in the UK today.

Narrated `Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "Let your wives be veiled" But he did not do so. The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out to answer the call of nature at night only at Al-Manasi.' Once Sauda, the daughter of Zam`a went out and she was a tall woman. `Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was in a gathering, and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda!" He (`Umar) said so as he was anxious for some Divine orders regarding the veil (the veiling of women.) So Allah revealed the Verse of veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the eyes). (See Hadith No. 148, Vol. 1)

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم احْجُبْ نِسَاءَكَ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، وَكَانَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْرُجْنَ لَيْلاً إِلَى لَيْلٍ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ، خَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ فَقَالَ عَرَفْتُكِ يَا سَوْدَةُ‏.‏ حِرْصًا عَلَى أَنْ يُنْزَلَ الْحِجَابُ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ‏.‏

A religion is a religion in true sense that teaches its followers to love all the creatures irrespective of caste, creed, culture, race or colour.
If it's failed in doing so it's not a religion, but just an ideology.

@derp-aderg4684 March 19, 2025 - 7:43 pm

What Muslim women are put through by Muslim men is absolutely abhorrent and evil. Islam is the most misogynistic believe structure in the world.

@derp-aderg4684 March 19, 2025 - 7:43 pm

There is no Islamophobia. All I have is 30 years experience with Islam in my country. It is quite simply dangerous to a modern civilised world. Islam is the calcified lump. If civilisation were a body that evolves and progress, Islam is the calcified lump making the rest of the body ill by refusing to change.

Most of the Muslim women suffer from vitamin 'D'. Because they wear borqa

@GolUp-r9k March 19, 2025 - 7:43 pm

Islam live comfortably and well there. if they did not live comfortably and freely express themselves there, maybe England would not have been their migration destination.
compare it with the conditions of the indigenous minority population in the Middle East, what do they experience?
persecution, terror threats, prohibition of worship, destruction of houses of worship, even murder.

28:41 The rainbow armband does NOT RESPRESENT US, OR OUR VALUES. She shouldn’t celebrate it! They don’t wear a "la ilaha illAllah" armband to support us on Ramadan, right!?(Not, that we need or ask for it, but as an example.)
