On 5 September, IA informburo.kz reported that: “In social networks, a video appeared that shows how dozens of girls in hijabs cannot enter the school building. The administration does not allow them because of appearance. This scandal occurred in the village of Firdousi, Turkestan region, on September 1.
The Minister of Education and Science of Kazakhstan Yerlan Sagadiev clearly indicated his position on the current situation: according to the law, it is forbidden to attend school in religious clothes.
In akimat of the Maktaral district of the Turkestan region they told that such incidents in the village of Firdousi occur every year. In total, there are about 300 such girls in religious clothes“.
Сomment:
This is not an isolated case. The last few years, with the beginning of the academic year, in different areas of the country, the debate about the prohibition of wearing hijab in schools grows heated. For example, only in the Aktyubinsk region, in the last academic year, the school administration forced to take off the hijab from more than 500 pupils. There are many such cases in the country.
Islam came to the steppes of modern Kazakhstan in the first century of the Hijra. Since then, the nomads of these steppes practiced Islam. At the end of the 19th century, after fierce battles, power in these lands passed into the hands of Tsarist Russia, and later into the hands of godless Communists.
Since the 1920s, until the collapse of the USSR, the godless power of the Communists cruelly suppressed any manifestation of Islam in life. In particular, it concerned women. They were forced to remove the hijab and forget about it, the dissenters were simply killed.
Today, after so many years, the Muslims of these lands return to their religion. Women begin to remember their past in Islam, study their religion and strive to achieve the satisfaction of their Lord. Every year, thousands and thousands of Muslim women wear hijab and teach this to their children.
This is not pleasant and does not suit the power of Taghut, because Taghut of Kazakhstan understands that hijab is not just a woman’s cloth, it is a small part of the immense monolith of truth, that is Islam, religion from the Creator of the Lord of the Worlds – Allah. This small part carries in itself the great centuries-old history of Islam and Muslims, in the image of the great and mighty Islamic state of the Khilafah (Caliphate), which once spread from the Atlantic Ocean in the West and to the Pacific Ocean in the East.
The secular regime of Taghut of Kazakhstan understands that hijab bears the culture of Islam, which was recently practiced by the peoples on the vast steppes of these lands. The culture of Islam threatens this Taghut and his followers – the ignorant obscurantists holding power by force. Islam bears the light of truth to the peoples, freeing people from the slavery of ignorance and obscurantism, prompting people to seek the true development and worship of Allah Almighty. Taghut of Kazakhstan, seeks to enslave Muslims and plunge them into an even deeper pit of ignorance and degradation to such an extent that Muslims will be silent slaves and will obey all their commands.
But by the will of Allah Almighty, this will not happen! The Muslims of these lands are already awakened from a prolonged hibernation. Despite the intrigues of Taghut, we see how people on their own, in the absence of the Islamic state, study their religion based on their own iman, adhere to the commandments of their Lord and strive to achieve His satisfaction! And with the will of Allah, in the near future the Muslims of these lands will be a strong pillar of the second righteous state of the Khilafah (Caliphate). And may Allah help us!
وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الأَبْصَارُ
“And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]”
