Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia's Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.

Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said he wanted to speak about the "emotional abuse" that men face because it is seldom discussed, the party reported on its Web site Wednesday.

"We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen," Nik Abdul Aziz said. "Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed."

Nik Abdul Aziz has made controversial comments about women in the past, including that women should stop wearing lipstick and perfume to lower the risk of being raped. Women's groups have slammed his statements, saying Islam teaches both men and women to be responsible for modesty. They say comments like these encourage rapes because it puts the onus on women.

Nik Abdul Aziz's fundamentalist party has about 800,000 members. He is also the chief minister of northeastern Kelantan, the only one of Malaysia's 13 states that is not ruled by the moderate National Front governing coalition.

His party's Web site published an illustration Wednesday of how women should dress — in long, flowing headscarves covering their hair and chests and "baggy and loose" long-sleeved, floor-length dresses.

Most women from Malaysia's Malay Muslim majority wear a modest form of Islamic clothing, though younger women in cities sometimes wear body-hugging dresses or tight T-shirts and jeans.

In Kelantan, the Islamic party has fined Muslim women for not wearing headscarves in workplaces and implemented separate check-out lines for men and women in supermarkets.

Lol, is he for real? I find that his comments are so offensive towards the brothers- he's basically saying that they are weak with little control over themselves.

...erm. so. men can't sleep at night because they're thinking about the immodest women walking the streets and so they miss Fajr prayers?

wow. Maybe they should just count sheep and turn their volume up on the alarm, whilst putting it on snooze. dunno. might be easier that way.

This is really a message to all the wives of Malaysia that they need to step up their game at home so their husbands won't be thinking about all the skanks on the street

maybe they're not financially/emotionally secure enough for marriage, but they're stll missing Fajr prayers cuz of all the fantasising.

seriously, where's the internal struggle with the nafs to shunt thoughts/ideas, which are not permissable and then make the effort for Fajr prayers even if it's difficult?

You're absolutely right of course. I just have one comment. You are responding to me as if I was being serious. I think Shadha's post is pretty hilarious actually, and speaks volumes to the extent to which men are unwilling to control their thoughts. Of course, if men aren't making it to fajr, it must be womens fault somehow. It can't possibly that men are lazy and not taking their religious duties seriously, oh no, let's blame it on women.

I wasn't serious about the sheep. I just read my second post and it sounds odd.

Lol, well, according to what he said, it seems that he's implying that it's the fault of the wives as well?

"We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen," Nik Abdul Aziz said. "Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed."

Maybe lingerie has become just too sexy.

Or maybe like ChotooMotoo say's, the particular lingerie these men are used to behind closed doors is just not sexy at all.
