A cikin wani shirin shaida na BBC kwanan nan game da Musulunci da mata, an tambayi wata matashiyar Musulma (wacce ke sanye da hijabi) ko hijabi wani nau'i ne na zalunci.34 Amsarta ta girgiza sosai.

In a recent BBC documentary about Islam and women, a young Muslim woman (who wears hijab) was asked whether hijab is a form of oppression.34 Her response was absolutely chilling:

Ga wanda wani ya ce dole in sa hijabi, idan wani ya ce in yi haka, zan cire hijabina. Idan za ku tilasta ni in sa hijabi, zan cire shi. Ina sanya shi ne saboda ƙauna, wannan ita ce asalina, wannan wani abu ne da nake so, kuma ba zan ce ina yin sa ne saboda Ubangijina ya umarce ni ba. Duk abin da Ubangijina ya umarce ni da shi, yana ba ni zaɓi, ina yin sa ne saboda ina so in yi shi kuma ina ƙaunarsa. Wani ɓangare ne na addinina kuma ina riƙe da shi. Abin tsoro shi ne, matasa Musulmi da yawa ba za su fahimci dalilin da ya sa wannan abu yake da matsala ba. Ba za su gane kufrin da ke cikin irin wannan magana ba. Wannan shi ne ƙarfin lalatawar 'yanci (liberalism) mai shiga zuciyar mutane har ba su ma san da hakan ba. Ta yaya mutum zai yi tunanin, "Idan Ubangiji ya umarce ni da wani abu, ba zan yi ba"? To, yana da ma'ana idan an riga an koya maka haka. Idan an tilasta maka yin wani abu, to wannan yana rage "'yancin kanka." Yana rage ikonka na "zaɓa cikin 'yanci." Kuma duk abin da ya rage 'yancinka da 'yancinka haka, mugunta ne. Hana ka ikon zaɓi yana kwace maka asalinka, ko wanene kai. "To menene zai fi haka muni?" in ji matashin Musulmi da ya nutse cikin siyasar asali ta "social justice warrior" da ta mamaye zamanin nan, wadda Musulmi da waɗanda ba Musulmi ba ke yaɗawa.

“For someone to tell me I have to wear the hijab, if someone tells me to do that, I’m taking my hijab off. If you’re going to force me to wear the hijab, I’m taking it off. I wear this out of love, this is my identity, this is something that I love and I wouldn’t even say that I do it because my God tells me to do it. Everything that my God tells me to do, He gives me a choice, I’m doing it because [I] want to do it and I love it. It’s part of my religion and I own it.” The scary thing is, many younger Muslims will not understand why this is so objectionable. They will not recognize the kufr implied in a statement like this. This is the subtle corrosive power of liberalism that deeply affects people without them even realizing it. How could you think, “If God tells me to do something, I won’t do it”? Well, it makes sense if you have been indoctrinated. If you are forced to do something, then that takes away from your “autonomy.” It takes away from your ability to “freely choose.” And anything that reduces your freedom and liberty in this way is evil. To take away your ability to choose is to take away from your identity, from who you are. “And what could be worse than that?” asks the young Muslim who is steeped in the social-justice-warrior infused identity politics of the age, promoted by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Ga matsalar:

The sticking point is here:

Amma ashe, Allah bai umurce mu da wasu abubuwa ba, kuma bai hana mu wasu abubuwan ba? Kuma ashe, ba a samun tsanantawa mai tsanani ga wanda ya ki miƙa wuya da yin biyayya ga Allah ba? Wannan kuwa shi ne ainihin tilastawa da matsin lamba! Ta wannan hanyar tunani ne Musulmai da ke shafar akidar 'yanci (liberalism) ke fuskantar zaɓi biyu. Zaɓi na 1: Allah mugu ne (wa na`udhu billah), ko kuma Zaɓi na 2: Allah ba mugu ba ne, amma Allah ba ya umurce mu ko hana mu wani abu ba. Duka zaɓuɓɓukan biyu kafirci ne.

But doesn’t God command us to do certain things and prohibit us from other things? And aren’t there steep consequences for not submitting and obeying to God? This is precisely what force and coercion are! It is through this line of reasoning that those Muslims affected by liberalism face two options. Option 1: God is evil (wa na`udhu billah) or, Option 2: God is not evil, but God doesn’t command us or prohibit us in anything either. Both options are kufr.

Hanyar fita daga wannan matsalar ita ce a soki akidar 'yanci (liberalism) da kuma a warware ma'anonin irin su 'yanci, cin gashin kai, tilastawa, da sauransu.

The way out of this dilemma is to critique liberalism and to deconstruct concepts like freedom, autonomy, coercion, etc.
