Ramadan
Ramadan comes with many blessings and mercy from Allah, the most Merciful. Although we all understand that it is a holy month and we should stick to Islamic rules and activities more in this month, it pains me to see how the cloth stores, designers and magazines are involved in exploiting women. Because we want to have new clothes to celebrate Eid, the cloth stores make and display many indecent dresses, especially for women. Is this what we are supposed to do in a holy month? What is happening in the name of fashion and art? Of course we want to wear nice-looking dresses, but not by compromising modesty. We can wear dresses that look good and don't attract unnecessary attention.
I am quoting the following hadith for the readers' benefit:
“Fasting is not abstaining from food and drink, rather fasting is abstaining from vain talk and indecency.”
