Stomping Feet

---

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss. (24: 31)
Women should not strike or stomp their feet with the purpose of drawing attention. Have you ever look around you, or simply just open the Youtube and find a lot of tips for women on how to become more beautiful and sexy. From cosmetics to the way you walk or the kind of shoes that makes you look sexier, most of them are all about promoting sexy images as they claimed that being sexy is part of confidence, part of beauty

Based on my readings, the scholars' advise on not striking or stomping feet are mostly associated with wearing bell ankle bracelets. As wearing this will attract people especially men to wonder what you are wearing, makes them curious and you definitely draw men' attention to look at you

But for me, stomping feet to draw attention, in this modern world, is most likely on the way the woman walks. Well, wearing ankle bracelets is also true. However, in this world, a woman doesn't really share how sexy you can be by wearing ankle bracelets. But instead, how sexy you can be if you can walk like those models on the runaway. Have you ever notice how they walk? As if they are stomping their feet, drawing people's attention on how sexy aka confident they are. Well, and of course, the hair and the body bounce, that will definitely attract people's attention. Even Gisele Bundchen is called The Bounce for having the skills to walk 'beautifully' and attract people's attention

What woman has (their body) is already considered something attractive. They don't even need an ankle bracelet to look sexy. That is why to be a kind and respected woman in Islam, your beauty is solely for your husband. Cuz in Islam, woman is exclusive. They are beautiful and that beauty is not cheap

In this holy month of Ramadhan, let us al girls ponder and become a better muslimah. InsyaAllah.
