While South Asia is often fixated on dictating what women should wear, Muslim men ought to know better. The Quran advised men to observe ‘parda<\/em>‘ first by lowering their gaze.<\/p>\n

Lo and behold! An e-store Maktaba-tul-Madina is selling ‘Muslim glasses’ to help with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; Surely Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.\u201d (Quran 24:30).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lowering the gaze, in Islamic terminology or exercising modesty refers to a number of things. Like, eyeing up someone’s assets, staring at the beauty of non-mahram women, keeping an eye on the wealth of others, and peeping inside the houses of neighbors.<\/p>\n

How hard can that be? Apparently, it’s so difficult someone devised tinted glasses to help obscure a fellow Muslim’s vision and help a brother out.<\/p>\n

Muslim glasses AKA ‘Qufl-e-Madina’ glasses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Named \u2018Qufl-e-Madina<\/em>\u2019, these glasses only focus on the lower half. Apparently, they were invented to help men get into the habit of refraining from \u2018haram\u2019 gazing.<\/p>\n

Introduced by Maktaba-tul-Madinah’s online store<\/a>, these are not just any tinted glasses. Only the top half of these glasses are tinted requiring the wearer to lower their gaze to see in front of themselves.<\/p>\n

In a way, it directs the focus of the gaze in a way to prevent staring. Kind of like blinkers\/blinders for racehorses?<\/p>\n
