Sura Ikhlas (112)

Say:He is Allah, the One and Only! قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَد
Allah,the Eternal, Absolute;
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
He begetteth not nor is He begotten لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَد
And there is none like unto Him وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(Yusuf Ali trans.)

To veil or not to veil


Farzad Wafapoor with over decade of experience in film production, crowned in 1996 with Emmy Award for movie "Plight of the Refugees", is a respected lecturer and independent director. In his work, Mr Wafapoor stresses importance of "understanding cultures and other religions", that leads to successful dialogue between people of different backgrounds, beliefs and races.

As a perfect example I'd like to present a short movie on hijab, kept in concept of inner dialogue showing struggle that woman often strives with revealing or hiding her body. Enjoy.

PS. In this clip, vision and audio progressively separate, yet it’s still worth watching!

Interesting. No doubt that is the case that happens amongst women.

Sorry about that. I love this nasheed so much but I know it makes difficult to watch any video.

Here's the direct link for the clip:
