18:57 - And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord but turns<br />

away from them forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set<br />

veils over their hearts lest they should understand this and over their ears deafness. If thou<br />

callest them to guidance even then will they never accept guidance. 2401<br />

2401 Considering the power of sin, and how it gets hold of the hearts of men, and considering all the wrongs that men have<br />

done, it is the height of folly and injustice on their part to turn away from warnings which are given expressly for their<br />

good. But a stage of callousness is reached, when, by their own choice, they have rendered themselves impervious to<br />

Allah's Grace. At that stage a veil is put over their hearts and they are left alone for a time, that they may commune<br />

with themselves and perhaps repent and seek Allah's Mercy again. If they do not, it is their own loss. See next verse.<br />

(18.57)<br />

24:31 - And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they<br />

should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they<br />

should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands their<br />

fathers their husbands' fathers their sons their husbands' sons their brothers or their brothers' sons or<br />

their sisters' sons or their women or the slaves whom their right hands possess or male servants free of<br />

physical needs or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike<br />

their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together<br />

towards Allah that ye may attain Bliss. 2984298529862987<br />

2987 While all these details of the purity and good form of domestic life are being brought to our attention, we are clearly<br />

reminded that the chief object we should hold in view is our spiritual welfare. All our brief life on this earth is a<br />

probation, and we must make our individual, domestic, and social life all contribute to our holiness, so that we can get<br />

the real success and bliss which is the aim of our spiritual endeavor. (24.31)<br />

39:6 - He created you (all) from a single person: then created of like nature his mate; and He sent<br />

down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you in the wombs of your mothers in<br />

stages one after another in three veils of darkness. Such is Allah your Lord and Cherisher: to<br />

Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your<br />

true Center)? 42494250425142524253<br />

4252 The three veils of darkness which cover the unborn child are: the caul or membrane, the womb, and the hollow in<br />

which the womb is enclosed. (39.6)<br />

41:5 - They say: "Our hearts are under veils (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us and<br />

in ours ears in a deafness and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt);<br />

for us we shall do (what we will!)." 44654466<br />

4465 The consequence of their wilful rejection is that a distance is created between Revelation and those for whom it is<br />

meant; their ears become deaf, so that the voice falls fainter and fainter on their ears: they feel a bar between<br />

themselves and the Messenger who comes to teach them. Cf. vii. 25. (41.5)<br />

4466 This is either a superiority complex adopting the sarcastic tone of an inferiority complex, or it expresses calculated<br />

indifference to spiritual teaching. In effect it says: 'Our hearts and minds are not intelligent enough to understand your<br />

noble ideas, nor our ears sufficiently acute to hear their exposition: you and we are quite different; there is a gulf<br />

between us. Why worry about us? You go your way, and we shall go ours!' (41.5)<br />

78:39 – That Day will be the sure Reality: therefore whoso will let him take a (straight) Return to his<br />

Lord! 5913<br />

5913 Cf. lxix. 1 and n. 5635. Judgment is sure to come, and Truth will then be free from all veils. Why should not man,<br />

therefore, now in this life of probation, turn back to Allah, and understand and do His Will? (78.39)<br />

83:15 - Verily from (the Light of) their Lord that Day will they be veiled. 6018<br />

6018 The stain of evil deeds on their hearts sullies the mirror of their hearts, so that it does not receive the light. At<br />

Judgment the true Light, the Glory of the Lord, the joy of the Righteous, will be hidden by veils from the eyes of the<br />

Sinful. Instead; the Fire of Punishment will be to them the only reality which they will perceive. (83.15)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 5.32 Narrated by<br />

Sad bin Abi Waqqas<br />

Umar bin Al-Khattab asked the permission of Allah's Apostle to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him,<br />

talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the voice of Allah's Apostle.<br />

When 'Umar asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah's Apostle allowed him to enter and<br />

'Umar came in while Allah's Apostle was smiling, 'Umar said "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah always keep you smiling." The<br />

Prophet said, "These women who have been here, roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put<br />

on their veils." 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then 'Umar addressed the<br />

women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Allah's Apostle?" They said, "Yes, for you are<br />
