If
you come forward to your family or loved ones about a major life decision or an
important revelation about yourself, the best thing you can hope for is that
they remain supportive and loving as you tell them about it. Whether you're
making a big change to your life, coming out to them somehow, or simply have to
get something off your chest, having your family's blessing or support can be a
blessing just as easily as it can be a gamble for others.
But
when you know that you have a great support network of people to whom you can
reveal yourself to, then you may find yourself posting it on social media
platforms like TikTok.
When
it comes to Muslim women, some of them have even taken to do hijab reveal videos
with their parents and loved ones. In recent years, more of these reveals have
cropped up around the platform. What's the cultural significance behind this
trend on TikTok? Let's break it down.
What
does a hijab reveal mean on TikTok?
You
may have seen some Muslim women wearing a hijab on their heads from time to
time. This garment typically takes the form of a headscarf made to wrap around
the head. neck, and hair while leaving only one's face visible. In the Muslim
faith, a hijab is meant to denote modesty within the religion and typically
signifies a form of strong religious devotion. While some countries like Iran
and Afghanistan require women to wear hijabs by law, Muslim women in other
territories typically make the choice to wear one.
Plenty
of Muslim women choose not to wear the hijab while still remaining devout, but
it can be a big deal for some families when a woman who comes of age does make
the decision to wear one on a regular basis.
Hence,
the hijab reveal videos on TikTok.
Some
Muslim women who decide to wear a hijab in their daily lives record themselves
as they reveal the decision to their families or loved ones. For the most part,
these women are met with pleasant surprise and sometimes even happy tears.

Women,
Girls Deserve to Live a Life of Dignity and Respect, Says UN Chief
May
13, 2023
The
UN Chief on Friday in a Tweet said, “We must not remain silent in the face of
targeted attacks against women and girls anywhere in the world.”
This
comes as women and girls in Afghanistan under the Taliban administration have
been systematically deprived of basic natural rights.
The
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a series of tweets on Friday urged
everyone to stand with women who are struggling for their basic rights.
Currently,
Afghan women are living in the worst possible situation, who have been barred
from their basic rights including getting a university education and working
for government or non-government organizations.
The
Taliban have restricted women’s freedoms and do not accept the international
community’s proposals to lift these restrictions and allow women and girls to
benefit from their civic rights.
The
UN organized a meeting from May 1-2 with the participation of representatives
from 25 countries and international organizations in Doha Qatar.
Amina
Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations stated that the
meeting was aimed at assessing the conditions for formally recognizing the
Taliban regime. However, participants in this meeting did not reach a
collective agreement, and the UN Chief said another gathering on Afghanistan
issues will be held in the near future.

Saudi-Born
Actress Dina ShihabiOffers Fans Sneak Peek at Netflix Limited Series
‘Painkiller’
May
13, 2023
DUBAI: Part-Arab actress Dina Shihabi this
week shared a sneak peek at her upcoming Netflix limited series “Painkiller,”
due for release on Aug. 10. The
Riyadh-born actress took to Instagram to share a series of stills from the
miniseries, which focuses on the origins and aftermath of America’s opioid
epidemic.
“One
of the best experiences of my life with a group of the most talented people
that I will love forever. Can’t wait for you to watch,” she told fans.
Shihabi
stars alongside US actors Matthew Broderick and UzoAduba, and Canadian actor
Taylor Kitsch.
“Painkiller”
is based on the book “Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of
America’s Opioid Epidemic,” by Barry Meier, and a New Yorker article, “The
Family That Built an Empire of Pain,” written by Patrick Radden Keefe.
The
series was created by US screenwriter Micah Fitzerman-Blue and actor and writer
Noah Harpster, with US filmmakers Eric Newman, Peter Berg and Alex Gibney as
executive producers.
Shihabi
spent part of her childhood in Dubai. Her father is Saudi-Norwegian journalist
Ali Shihabi, and her mother Nadia is half-Palestinian and half German-Haitian.
She
moved to the US in 2007 and was the first Middle Eastern-born woman to be
accepted to the Juilliard School and New York University graduate acting
program. She began appearing in short films in 2010, but her big break came in
2017 with the role of Hanin in the series “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.”
Shihabi
has previously spoken to Arab News to share her advice for up-and-coming
actors.
“Look around to the people that are around you
right now and start making things. And focus, hard work, determination, passion
(are important). Those are real things,” she said.
“I’m
still working really hard to make the things I want happen and I don’t think
it’s ever going to end. If you choose this life, you are choosing a life where
you have to really work hard.”
The
actress also appears in an upcoming noir, “Catching Dust,” alongside US actress
Erin Moriarty and Australian stars Jai Courtney and Ryan Corr. The film is set
for release in June.

Women
Grow Up Imbibing the Idea That They Have No Right to Inherit
Shahnaaz
Rahman
“Learn
the laws of inheritance and teach them to the people, for they are one-half of
the useful knowledge,” said Prophet Muhammad inheritance means the transfer of
property to the living person from the deceased along with any other
transferable rights.
Inheritance
has a different meaning in Islam. There is no particular definition of it in
the Quran but many scholars have defined it in their ways. According to Sir
Abdur Rahim - Inheritance is the transfer of the rights and obligations of the
deceased person to his/her heirs. Inheritance of property in Muslim Law comes
only after the death of a person. Any child born into a Muslim family does not
get his/her rights to property by birth. If an heir lives even after the death
of the ancestor, he becomes a legal heir and is, therefore, entitled to a share
in the property.
We
know that we are living in a constitutional civilized society, but we have no
Uniform Civil Code in India except in Goa. Every religion practiced in India
has been governed by its respective personal laws. Islamic law of inheritance
is a mixture of the Pre-Islamic customs and the rules introduced by the
Prophet.
The
Muslim Law of inheritance derives its principles from the four key sources of
Islamic law: the Holy Quran, the Sunnah ( the practice of the Prophet), Qiyas (deduction based on analogy on what is
right and just by God), and Ijma (consensus-based decision us of the learned
men of the community on a particular subject).
Under
the Muslim law of Inheritance, both men and women have been given equal rights.
On the death of an ancestor, nothing can restrict both boy and girl child to
become the legal heirs of the inheritable property.
However,
it is generally found that the quantum of share of female heirs is half of that
of the male heirs. The reason behind this is that under Muslim law a female
shall receive mehr and maintenance from her husband during the marriage
ceremony. Whereas a male will only have the property of their ancestors for
inheritance and the male also has the duty of maintaining their wife and
children.
Even
though women account for almost half of the earth’s population and contribute
significantly in all areas of the economy, their social, economic, and
political status is not the same as those of the males. Muslims in India are
governed by the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, of 1937, which
deals with marriage, successions, and inheritance among Muslims.
According
to this law, if a person dies leaving behind only daughters and no sons, the
daughters are entitled to inherit only a two-thirds share of the deceased’s
property. The rest will go to the deceased siblings. But if they have a son who
is at least a day old when they die, then the son gets the deceased’s share and
the daughters get half of what the son gets. It is this clause in Muslim
Inheritance Law that places many women/widows and their daughters at the mercy
of the deceased person’s siblings and extended family.
Muslim
women do not get their rightful share in ancestral property and when denied
their share, the women are compelled to approach the Court as part of their
struggle. Such cases are heard by Civil Courts and decided under the Mohammedan
Law or Islamic Law (Shariat).
In
Assam, the current legal position and practice is that Muslim women are at par
with men when it comes to the right of inheritance. In most cases, a girl is
automatically entitled to inherit half the share of her brother and in
exceptional cases, the inherited property is even equally shared between the
siblings irrespective of gender and religion. Contrary to that an aggrieved is
at liberty to seek relief before the appropriate Courts.
The
scenario in other parts of the country regarding the current legal position and
as far as the practice is concerned is that girls also do not claim because
they are raised in such an environment that from their childhood they believe
that they do not have any right in property. The Customary Laws are overwhelmingly
patriarchal and discriminative against women. When you challenge the rights of
inheritance, you are simultaneously fighting patriarchy, as well as family and
relationship principles. Often fathers and sons are unwilling to share the
parental property with married women since they believe she belongs to the
husband’s family and has already been rewarded with a dowry at the time of
their marriage.
