I'm sure you've heard of a case worker is prohibited from using the headscarf in the company where they work. Or you've experienced? Alternatively there are friends or relatives who have experienced? Please share this article, hopefully can help is or ever experienced this.
I will not go on the firm side. My position is clear: IT WRONG. If there happens to be a company that prohibits the use of headscarves to work for him, read this article. I say, remove this prohibition. The hijab is not just a symbol, but it's worship for ALL Muslim. Prohibit veiling is discrimination and violates religious freedom.
OK, that's it. Because I wanted to focus on discussing for anyone who is or ever experiencing this prohibition.
IF NOT HOW addressing hijab AT WORK
Need Courage Standing Above the Truth
It was not easy. If we want to talk what it should be, then it shall attitude is more priority to God's command rather than owner command or company. Of course, the risk is fired by the company. It was better than being fired so the servant of God.
"But ..."
I understand, that when you work, meaning that it requires the results of the work for a variety of needs. I understand that and if you get laid off work, it will lose income from the company.
I emphasize, "the income of the company was"!
This means that there are still opportunities to earn money from other companies or from other sources. Because your sustenance not from the company, but of God. And, God could give sustenance to you in many ways, not necessarily through the company that actually prohibits the practice.
Rest assured that sustenance comes from God, not of man, not of a particular company.
"None of the creatures that live on this earth, but its provision is borne of God ..." (QS. Hud: 6).
If someone believe Quran including this paragraph, should no longer afraid of losing sustenance stop working because of the company. Moreover, the intention to stop the operation for the sake of the commandments of God.
Probably Not Be Easy
We may have heard or read where an employee be successful even after fired for wearing hijab maintain. Plus another wonderful story.
However, I will not promise you that after stopping the work will be easy. Well realistic course. You probably will need to fight off looking for a new job or starting a business. May be experiencing difficult days. That may happen.
But be assured that God will not waste your fight, it will not waste your patience face difficulties. And Allah knows that you experience all this for his ridla expect. God will reward both in this world and in the hereafter.
And we also believe, along with the difficulty there is relief. All you need to do is continue to struggle with sincerity and with patience. Insyaallah rewarded in God is already waiting for you.
Rest assured there will always be the way.
Do not give up, you're walking the path of Allah and Allah will surely help us. This is a test from God.
Various Options After Stopped Working
What to do after stop working?
There are many different options:
Can seek employment elsewhere (for those who are married, of course permission of the husband).
Can start a business pioneer, a lot of start of sewing, baking, online business, Afiiliate sharia, and various other opportunities that can run at home.
Being a writer, for example, earn income from book royalties.
Being freelance workers in accordance with the time and expertise.
Or focus just became a wife and a good mother (for housewives) and pray husband so much success.
Please choose, if developed from five points above will be a lot of options that we can do.
Of course, for women who are married, please discuss with your husband what to do. My advice, if in case the husband's income is sufficient, chose the fifth point that being a wife and a good mother.
When Facing a dilemma situation
"Every community has a test. And the biggest test of my people is a treasure. "(HR. Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and classed as saheeh al-Albani).
Possibly, someone face a dilemma. If he works, he sinned by opening genitalia. Meanwhile, if she stops working, no major problems were encountered.
Is it because of the severity of the risk, they should work even have to take off the veil? The reason of necessity?
If you ask me, it's not quite right because I'm just a motivator is not a cleric moreover scholars. So please contact a trusted scholars to ask legal issues. Please ask the scholars, the answer may be different for each condition each one is different.
Suppose for instance because it's really really forced you keep working without veiling (according to scholars yes, not lust alone). Do not make it transmissivity. This means that efforts must be made as soon as possible so that conditions such ends.
Look for a solution, think, reflect, and seek guidance from Allah so that you can resolve this issue quickly. So that you can still overcome the problem AND you can still run the command of Allah (close the genitals).
Need serious thinking and trying hard to get a solution. Including requiring knowledge how to resolve the problem. Rest assured, a solution was forthcoming.
