(as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, MostMerciful.” [Sura Al Ahzab 33:59]The Qur’an says that Hijab has been prescribed for the women sothat they are recognized as modest women and this will alsoprevent them from being molested.6. Example of twin sistersSuppose two sisters who are twins, and who are equally beautiful,walk down the street. One of them is attired in the Islamic Hijab i.e.the complete body is covered, except for the face and the handsupto the wrists. The other sister is wearing Western clothes, aminiskirt or shorts. Just around the corner there is a hooligan orruffian who is waiting to tease a girl. Whom will he tease? The girlwearing the Islamic Hijab or the girl wearing the mini skirt?Naturally he will tease the girl wearing the mini skirt. Such dressesare an indirect invitation to the opposite sex for teasing andmolestation. The Qur’an rightly says that Hijab prevents womenfrom being molested.7. Capital punishment for the rapistsUnder the Islamic Shari’ah, a man convicted of having raped awoman, is given capital punishment. Many are astonished at this‘harsh’ sentence. Some even say that Islam is a ruthless andbarbaric religion! I have asked a simple question to hundreds ofnon-Muslim men. Suppose, God forbid, someone rapes your wife,your mother or your sister. You are made the judge and the rapist isbrought in front of you. What punishment would you give him? Allof them said they would put him to death. Some went to the extentof saying they would torture him to death. To them I ask, ifsomeone rapes your wife or your mother you want to put him todeath. But if the same crime is committed on somebody else’s wifeor daughter you say capital punishment is barbaric.
