Library Research Business Community

Question: Describe about the Library Research for Business Community. Answer: Main Thesis of Sherazi Aisha Sherazi is of the opinion that the Muslim women wear the Niqab or the face veil in order to be a part of the community they belong to; because they are proud of their community and some even emulate them with the wives of the Prophet, therefore, they encourage wearing the Niqab to empower them. According to Sherazi why Women choose to wear Niqab Sherazi believe that there are certain attires that people do not like to wear but they have to wear those because most of the time majority of the people accepts it. For example, the necktie those students have to wear with their school uniform. In case of the Niqab or the face veil that is worn by most of the Muslim women such is not the case. Sherazi argues that most of the European countries do not support Muslim women wearing a Niqab because they think that in this way the women are segregating them from the society. The author negates this European view, she is of the opinion that actually the Europeans are alienated the Muslim women and they are not segregating themselves. She states that in respect to the European countries, Canada is a far more tolerant country that could easily accept multiculturalism and would allow women to wear anything that they wish to wear. Thesis of Fatah Tarek Fatah describe the Niqab as the Muslim male power domination over the female and also as the product of Saudi Arabia, so that they could distort the Islamic view and fulfill their Wahabbi purpose or the agenda. Reason behind Fatah Opposing Wearing Niqab Tarek Fatah, in his essay states that, although he belongs from the Muslim community he condemns the fact that the women of his community wear the Niqab. The author here gives the reference to a Muslim woman, who refused to take of her veil because she thought she would lose her honor. According to the author, women of the Islam religion should not consider wearing veil as the part of the religion, and to support his view the author gives the reference of the Mecca and Kaaba. The two holiest places for the people belonging to the Islam community, which is also 1400 years old, prevents women from covering their face. According to Fatah, the Wahabbi tribes are responsible for this and he appeals the other Muslim women to consider this fact. According to him, Saudi Arabia is trying to epitomize women as the sexual objects and thus they are imbibing these kinds of thoughts within them. According to him, Canada should tolerate the oppression on the women in the name of multiculturalism an d if the country continues with it then soon the judicial system of this country will follow the Shariah Law. Argument based on both the texts The two texts that are based on the Muslim women wearing the Niqab interestingly do not provide with the voice of the Muslim woman. It is true that Tarek Fatah refers to a Muslim woman who speaks in favor of her veil, although Fatah interprets that the women is actually constructed by her society, or more importantly by the Wahabbi community or the tribe. It is true that there are no evidence of what actually a Muslim woman wants, whether she wears the Niqab because she takes pride of her community or whether she is seen a sexual object by her community. Therefore, the exposure of her skin would be a sin, so they would have to wear a Niqab (Fatah 1). The religion concern of wearing a Niqab is there but then it is more about the choice that the women of the Muslim community. If the women feel that by wearing the Niqab they could be a part of their community, they could feel the pride of their community then people should allow them to wear the Niqab (Sherazi 1). It is a matter of choice, if wearing a Niqab is seen as an action of imposing something on the Muslim women, and then asking them to not to wear a Niqab, is another form of imposition only. Therefore, one could argue that Aisha Sherazi has rightly stated that the Muslim women should wear what she desires to wear. She is right in stating that one should not segregate Muslim women wearing a Niqab because then it will not lead to acceptance of multiculturalism rather it will lead to intolerance.
