I can remember a very good example in this regard. If the regular Imam of a mosque suddenly appears in the&nbsp;<em>Mehrab<\/em>&nbsp;(the place where the Imam leads the prayer) in the Mosque completely bare and announces \u2013 Dear brothers! I have come to inform you a ruling that even in this state I will be able to lead the prayers\u201d. Will you people ever allow such an Imam to enter into the mosque again? Rather you would say he has gone crazy. Though the Imam\u2019s argument is: I know all the rulings of prayers; I know how to read the Quran; though outwardly I have no clothes on my body, my inward is completely pure; you should not judge me looking the outward state and so on\u2026 Not to mention, none of you will pay a heed to the Imam. Rather that Imam would be taken for mental treatment. Why did you conclude that his inward state has gone ruined ( i.e. he has gone crazy) ? Yes, only by seeing his outward condition. His outward is the reflection of his inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\"><span style=\"font-family: quadraat-bold; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>The importance of outward&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">Those who claim, inward is major, whatever be the outward \u2013 they are indeed making big mistake. One person once said, \u201cIf intention is al lright, if the heart is in pure state and if one refrains from sins \u2013 that is enough. Why do we need a dress code?\u201d I told him, \u201cWell, take for instance, your mother and sister are very pious; regularly saying prayers, accomplishing other activities of&nbsp;<em>Deen<\/em>&nbsp;too. You just take one of their \u2018Urna\u2019 (the Garment woman wear in sub-continent over their dress); wear it; go the market. I will give you 15 rupees as prize (that time it was much more in value) if you can do so.\u201d Listening me the man replied, \u201cPeople will laugh and mock at me if I do so.\u201d I simply told him, \u201cForget about people\u2019s mocking; if your mother and sister is such pious, why do they need to wear Urna?\u201d By listening this the man became silent. Just as it is not rational and also adverse to morals that brother wears his sister\u2019s \u2018Urna\u2019; similarly it is disobeying the Shariah to refuse to comply with outward rulings, such as: dress code and guise. Allah Taala has imposed the right orders on us. As it is wrong to take man\u2019s guise for woman, it is also wrong for man to take a woman\u2019s guise. Tt has been mentioned in Hadith that (meaning), Rasulullah \ufdfa&nbsp;has cursed such man taking the guise of woman; and he also has cursed such woman who take the guise of man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">As it is a punishable offense for a police to wear clothes of postal department, similarly it is a punishable offense for an officer of postal department to wear clothes of a police. Shariah has also prescribed different clothes, i.e. dress code for man and woman. For man to be covered under the veil is against his manly spirit; likewisee, for a woman not being under the veil is against her womanly spirit. <sub><sup>Extracted from Hz Abrarul Haq (R)\u2019s lecture \u2013 the last Khalifa of Hz Thanvi (R)<\/sup><\/sub><\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-2\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"I Like this Article\" data-post-id=\"107\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"cookie\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Please read Our Inward &amp;
