I have to accept that there are valid opinions out there that may or may not agree with my own. I admit I became a bit down when people who mean a lot to me do not hold the same opinion as me. This is selfishness on my part, maybe even some arrogance! [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value. Yes, you are completely right.

However, it is important to note that many scholars possess different (valid) opinions. For example, I also do not hold the opinion that niqab is Fard but rather that it is mustahhab, however we must still recognize that the opinion that it is Fard is a valid opinion, just as our opinion that it is not Fard is valid. Everything we do is attached to a symbol of ideology that we may or may not be in accordance with, from beards to the way hijabs are styled to niqabs to abayas to khimars. Somebody who accuses another Muslimah of lacking a relationship with Allah SWT because they do not cover their face is very hypocritical, if that person knew anything about our deen, they would know that only Allah SWT knows the true relationship between the slave and The Master. I also completely agree with your take on materialism, it is like a disease; an ever-growing tumor expanding over the body of our Ummah every second, these are the mechanisms of Shaytan al-Rajeem, to make us glorify what is on this world so much that we forget how many billion times greater the rewards are of the Next Life. May Allah protect us all! I definitely agree, our relationships with Allah SWT are most certainly not limited to our dress.
