The correct meaning of, ‘I am Your Servant’ indicates full submission, compliance, and repentance to Allah, as well as being obedient to one’s Lord and avoiding His prohibitions, depending on Him, seeking His help and support, seeking refuge in Him from evil, and finally being related to Him with feelings of love, fear and hope.

Jilbaab
{O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their Jilbaabs over their bodies. That will be better (for them), (so) that they shall be known (as free respectable women and) and not harmed. And Allâh is ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.}
(Surah al-Ahzaab [33]:59)
In many secret locations, treasure-chests, deposits, safes, banks, hidden excavations in the ground and chambers, people have hidden away from the eyes of men the most precious of items, the likes of money and jewellery. Some hide them out of fear of theft, whereas other items, such as precious stones and gold, are hidden in order to preserve their beauty and worth. Sadly, before the dignity of woman comes the need for the security of material assets.
The hearts which contain faith in the One Ever-Watching Lord ache in pain when seeing the abuse, misuse, oppression and brainwashing of women... Jilbaab 31 Mar 2011 Hits:913
This is an amazing lecture by Imaam Siraaj Wahaaj on Jilbaab.
All sisters are advised to listen to this talk and pass it on to other sisters.
Allah Almighty has said:
{O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their Jilbaabs over their bodies. That will be better (for them), (so) that they shall be known (as free respectable women and) and not harmed. And Allâh is ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.} (Surah al-Ahzaab [33]:59)

In the Quran, Allah ('azza wa jall) says,
{O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw their Jalaabeeb close around them; that is better that they will be recognized and not annoyed. And God is ever Forgiving, Gentle.} (Surah al-Ahzab, [33]:59)
In this verse there is a clear command for Muslim women to wear a garment which Allah ('azza wa jall) has referred to as "Jalaabeeb", the plural of "Jilbaab". The Jilbaab is an outer-garment, an extra layer, something worn over normal clothing.
Further, in Surah an-Noor, chapter... Jilbaab 26 Dec 2009 Hits:934 Allah, the Most High says,
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and believing women that they should cast their Jalaabeeb [outer- garments] over their persons. That is most convenient that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.” (Surah al-Ahzaab, verse 59).
The above verse is clear in determining that it is obligatory (Fardh) upon a woman to cover herself with a Jilbaab. This leaves us with a question, what is a Jilbaab?
It is stated in Lisaan al-Arab,
“Jilbaab, plural of Jalaabeeb: an outer garment or a cloak with... Jilbaab 20 Dec 2009 Hits:550
The sources in Islamic law are primarily the Qur’aan and Sunnah[1]. The Qur’an, the book held sacred by Muslims, contains approximately 500 verses dealing with diverse topics which are of a legal relevance. The Sunnah represents the repository of reports of sayings, acts and consent of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam). The role of the Sunnah is seen as an elaboration of the Quranic injunctions. There are other sources which derive from the two primary sources and they are the Ijmaa’ (legal consensus), Qiyaas (analogical deduction) and other disputed sources but they are not relevant to the... Jilbaab 20 Dec 2009 Hits:746 The Arabic word ‘Islaam’ simply means to 'surrender (to Allah)'. Hence, the essence of our religion is this surrender or submission, which requires trust on our part. Trust that Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'ala) will be there for us, trust that He knows what is best for us.
Submission to Allah ('azza wa jall) requires that we put Him before ourselves. That we put our desires second to His desire for us. That we acknowledge that He knows better than we do what is right for us.
Very often, such submission is difficult. Sometimes it seems that everything that happens is bad,... Jilbaab 20 Dec 2009 Hits:427
They can be seen every day. Shuffling down the high-street, their hair covered, their body shrouded in a lifeless garment that drapes to the floor. These poor, uneducated women are the symbol of Islamic oppression, as Cherie Blair openly commented,
“Nothing more I think symbolizes the oppression of the women than the Burka.”
Some people would see this modesty as positive, because, as Jean-Marie Le-Pen famously said about the Hijaab,
“It keeps us from ugly looking women.”
Either way, these subjugated Muslim women are in need of being liberated by Western society so that they can embrace their femininity... Jilbaab 18 Dec 2009 Hits:713Enveloped With Submissive Dignity
