Are women supposed to cover their hair when they pray? or is the bible saying our hair should cover our heads?
Answer
It might help to explain a little about why Corinthians was written:
The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians.
So throughout Corinthians one will see the problem or areas of question being stated (which many people and groups mistakenly interpret as what we are suppose to do). Then later the resolution, to the issue.
In this case, regarding hair, there were different âlawsâ and ârules of conductâ in play with different people trying to follow different rules.
In this case he basically said the church as no rules for or against the covering of a womanâs head. For her hair is her head's natural covering.
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Now it does say in 1Co 11:6
but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
That it might (note the IF in the verse) be a shame for a woman to have a shaved head, or be bald. In that case if SHE is uncomfortable then she should wear some type of covering.
The following is a Jerrys1960 idea (and not biblical) of why women might have shaved their head (and the âshameâ involved). In those days much as today in several less developed countries. Washing oneâs hair is not a top priority, especially in areas where water is scarce. As a result head lice tended/tends to be more of a problem. The simplest way (without chemicals) to cure the problem is to cut off ones hair.
But even with that there was an IF ⦠If it is a shame for a woman ⦠I might translate it in todayâs English to read if a woman is uncomfortable/embarrassed to be seen bald or with her head shaved then let her wear a cover.
But as far as any official policy regarding a woman covering her head, basically it up to the person and the local laws and customs. But a biblical church rule or a rule to cover her head imposed by Jesus or God, it is not.
Simply put in todayâs English Paul basically said, If there is no local law/rule against it, as far as the church leadership should be concerned, let the woman do what she wants to do regarding covering her head (within the limits of good common sense).

What do you think, what is it like being a Muslim parent?
Sen...
whose kids don't follow Islam? Inspired by this sad story: http://www.emirates247.com/crime/region/for-family-honour-mom-kills-self-two-daughters-2013-05-06-1.505235 Muslim mother douses her two daughters in kerosene and burns them alive for dating and staying out too late.
She probably felt guilty. Or maybe she didn't know about it and just freaked out after seeing them doing bad things. It's a scary thought. You love them, you provide for them, you give them everything they want and they still end up sinning behind your back :/
Answer
That's sad. Really sad. May Allah forgive their sins, save them from the torment of grave and hellfire and grant them a place in jannah, ameen. On to the question, I think it's agonizing for the parents to know that their kids are far from Islam, but that's only if the parents are themselves Muslims in every sense of the word. What I noticed in the up given story is that the mom was more concerned with the reputation of the family and what neighbours say, when she should be worried about what Allah will say. Unluckily parents ingrain fear of the world in their children's heart instead of the fear and love for Allah. Had she taught them the commandments of Allah regarding man-woman relationship and the logic behind it (though there shouldn't be any need of logic when it comes to faith but duh ! We Muslims blindly believe the world is ending on 21st dec 2012 but when it's Islam we need logic), the odds of this unfortunate incidence occurring would have been nearly zero. Secondly, when a child reaches adulthood, can differentiate between good and bad then it no longer remains the responsibility of the parent to protect them from sinning all the time. And parents won't be punished for the sins that their adult kids do.
Yes she provided for them and it must have been really tough for her considering she was a single parent, the only thing that pinched her was family reputation and people gossiping. All the acts of the daughters were between them and Allah. He is watching them. He had decided their fate for hereafter. She could have kicked the girls out of her house, confiscated all the luxuries and demanded all the money that she spent on them. That's one way to compensate for the loss with fear of the world as a context. On the other hand, if a parent is truly afraid of Allah, they'd depict Islam through their own actions first of all, take their kids to Islamic lectures, dicuss Quranic verses and hadiths in the house, tell them narrations and stories from the times of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) etc instead of burning yourself and your offsprings alive. I believe Islam is the only remedy to bring lost souls back on track. Understandably she was hurt and upset but that doesn't give her the right to decide the punishment and take the life of her daughters. One shouldn't do or avoid anything from the fear of this mortal world. Keep your eye at The Owner
