- Shia faith is based on the Qur'anic concept of muwaddah - love for the Ahlul Bayt
- All Muslims agree that this is an essential part of Islamic theology
- What does it mean to love?
- Majority of Muslims say they love and respect the Ahlul Bayt, however they get their jurisprudence from the four who aren't from the Ahlul Bayt
- Almost similar to the setup in Canada, where Canadians love and respect the British Queeen, however the power to legislate and govern resides with the Prime Minister elected by the people
- The Shia view is that we love and respect them based on the hadith of the Prophet, but we also follow them along with the Qur'an as the main source of guidance from theology to jurisprudence, and ethics to morality
- The Qur'an is the fundamental book whose true embodiement in human form are the Imams of the Ahlul Bayt
- Bibi Fatima-tu z-Zahra, the main link between teh Prophet and the Imams, is also an example and hujjat for us all
- In her famous khutba of Fadak, Bibi Fatima quoted 5:50 from the Qur'an
- By denying her right of inheritance, they denied the law of Qur'an, and denying the Qur'anic commandment is equal to 'seeking the laws of jahiliyyah'
- What does the 'Laws of Jahiliyyah' mean?
- The term jahiliyyah is mostly used to describe the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, however it really refers to an overall mentality, attitude, and outlook towards life which abandons the true teachings.
- It doesn't refer to ignorance or a lack of knowledge, rather it refers to any un-Islamic thought, decision, prejudice, attitude and behaviour
- One section of the verse mentions to not 'display the dazzling display of the jahiliyyah'
- Primarily addresses the Prophet's wives, but the message is for all Muslim women, condemning the display of one's beauty
- Islam doesn't forbid women from wearing good clothes, provided hijab is maintained
- It should be done neither in person, nor on social media.
- Example of newlywed couples posting pictures of intimate poses on social media. Capturing special moments in life is good, however they should be kept private, not for the world to see.
- Discussing the need to go back to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Masumeen
- We don't need the display of hijabs at the New York Fashion Week catwalk to convince us of the hijab. While it may be a political statement for non-Muslims to know that hijab is here to stay, we as Muslims don't need that as an inspiration to wear hijab.
- Nor do we need Nike to promote hijab, in a way that may still not be in line with Muslim values
- Hijab isn't only about covering the head, it also means clothing which doesn't show contours of the body. Tight or contour-following shirts, pants, short sleeves, half sleeves, pants that don't go full length, etc
- Hijab doesn't prevent any Muslim woman from education, from contributing to society, or being independent
- We don't have to visit anywhere else when we have the example of Bibi Fatima, and all the examples she has shown us throughout her life
- Make Bibi Fatima your example, and be proud of her strength and modesty

"Islam doesn't say women shouldn't wear good clothes, there is no problem with it; provided hijab is maintained. This is for an in-person context, AND pictures on social media. We practically need to start a new chapter in fiqh on social media. It has become a serious issue where people think everything is ok, like pictures of the newlywed in intimate postures for example. Nobody says do not capture special moments between a couple. But keep it private, for yourselves, for your mahram. The world doesn't need to know about it, or see it. Do you think simply because you're wearing a hijab in the picture it is ok? We have to go back to the Qur'an and Ahlul Bayt. Make Bibi Fatima your example, and be proud of her strength and modesty."

"We don't need a dazzling display of hijab at the NY Fashionweek to convince us of the hijab. If this is the basis for wearing it, then what kind of hijab is it? Qur'an couldn't convince you, the Sunnah of the Masumeen couldn't convince you, Fatima and Zainab couldn't convince you? You need inspiration from fashion designers? The political statement made, showing hijab isn't going anywhere is for non-Muslims. But our believers don't need this validation for our own values."

"Many are praising Nike's new hijab headcovering, while not worrying about the rest of the attire; if the clothes are tight then it's supposedly ok. If it is being worn for a sporting event where men are watching, then this is not the overall hijab that Islam wants. And if it is an event only for women, then the headcovering isn't even necessary in the first place."
