In my humble manner ,I have something to say in this matter.
It is essential part of our Imaan as Muslims that Mohammad (Sallalahu alayhi Wasalam) is not only the Messenger of Allah but the last and the Final Messenger of Allah. The negation of the Finality of the Prphethood for Mohammad (Sallalahu alayhi Wasalam) has rightly earned the stigma of Ilhaad and Kufr.
The finality of Messengership connotes that the Message (of Islam) is final. This leaves no scope for what they call ‘modernism’. Modernism is applicable and acceptable in the sense that Islamic approach for new matters is to be prescribed in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Whatever is prescribed in Quran and Sunnah is most modern because it from Allah and through the Final Messenger and Prophet. There is no possibility of changing or challenging anything laid down in Quran and Sunnah because it is as old as Islam and as fresh as the present moment.
Hijab ,for example, is applicable to modern age as much as it was applicable to the earlier ages because for Muslims every age is Prophet’s (Sallalahu alayhi wasalam) age. This age is also Prophet’s (Sallalahu alayhi Wasalam) age because it is and shall be the selfsame Allah, the selfsame Islam, the selfsame Quran, the self same Sunnah ,the selfsame Kalima , the self same Prophet (Sallalahu alayhi Wasalam) and the self same Qibla. None of these have changed or needs to change. Yes, Hijab is applicable to modern age as it was applicable earlier. It is so because women still continues to be what she was then and human nature ,too , has not changed. The purpose of Hijab is to decrease the possibility of lust and lechery based corruption. Has modern man becom less lustful and less lecherous that the need for Hijab has decreased. The fact is that lust and lechery has increased immensely and need for Hijab has increased and not decreased. The so called modernists want to use their so called modernism for facilitating the exhibition of women’s natural attractions for promotion of lust and lechery. Modernism is exhibition of female (and even male) nudity through all media and mediums. As Islam opposes such nudity, it ,in their opinion, needs to be modernized.
Yes,Islam is the purest form of Gold. Those who need to avail it must have it as it is.No apologetic approaches, as suggested by sheikh Nuh.
