Why Muslim women should wear hijab?
There are multitude reasons but the straight forward, one sentence answer is, because they believe that God has made it accountability for the women who believe. In the Quran God tells the men and women who believe to keep their eyes lower and to dress decently. He (God) particularly addresses women when He asks them not to display their adornment, except that which is obvious, and get their veils over their bodies. The Quranic directions are not only for women, there are guidelines for men as well.
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and to be mindful of their chastity
This will be most conducive to their purity
And to Allah is known
Of all their action ( Quran 24: 30)
Tell the believing women to lower their gaze and to be mindful of their chastity
And not to display their charm (in public) beyond what may be (decent) apparently
Hence let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms
And let them not display their charms
To any but their husbands, or their fathers
Or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons, or their husbands’ sons or their brothers
Or their brothers’ sons
Or their sisters’ sons
Or their women
Or what their right hands own
Or such men as attend them, not having sexual desire
Or children who about women private parts are unaware
And let them not stamp their feet, so that their
Hidden ornaments are known in clear
And to Allah turn altogether
Oh believers, happily so you will prosper (Quran 24: 31)
These verses of Quran are known as the verses of hijab and it is the comprehensive agreement of Islamic scholars that the putting on of hijab is compulsory. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar do impose a outfit code. Women in such countries are envisioned to cover their hair and wear some kind of loose fitting, full-length outfit over their clothes. However, for the greater part of Muslimah around the globe, to cover, or not to cover, is liberally made selection. God demands Muslim women to dress decently and to wear the hijab when going out and in the presence of men who are not in nearby relations to the women.
Though the English word scarf and the Arabic term hijab have become similar, it is really worth noting that hijab is more than just a scarf. Hijab is an expression that not only includes a wide range of garments including scarves, but also a wide variety of various dress variations from around the globe. Many of them have cultural descriptions such as that of Pakistan i.e shalwar kamiz and that of Afghani is burqa, but whenever a Muslim woman is seen covering “her adornment”, she is said to carrying hijab.
To veil, to cover, or to screen are the actual meaning of Hijab. The religion Islam is involved with group cohesion and ethical boundaries, and therefore hijab is an act of guaranteeing that the ethical boundaries amongst unrelated men and women are highly regarded.The term hijab in this sense features more than a scarf and more then a outfit code. It is a phrase that signifies modest dressing and humble actions. For illustration, if a Muslim woman was carrying a scarf but simultaneously was using abusive language then she would not be satisfying the wants of hijab.
Muslim women take hijab, to pay regard to God, and to be acknowledged as respectable women.
Oh Prophet ! Say to your wives and daughters and the believing women
(When in public) that they draw veils close to them
It is likelier that they be recognised (as decent women) and avoid annoying
Allah is all-compassionate, all-forgiving (Quran 33: 59)
Hijab, in the last 30 years has come forth as a symbol of Islamic recognition. Majority of womens are observed putting on the hijab as a sign of their wish to be an element of an Islamic resurgence, particularly in countries where practising Islam is dejected or even is banned.
The women who decide on to carry a scarf in the largest sense of the concept, do so by taking personal decisions and independent alternatives. They look at it as a perfect and not a stress. These women consider hijab as a hint of oppression. Women who carry hijab generally describe themselves as being “free” from surroundings naive fashion customs.
Hijab liberates women from being thought of as sexual materials of desire or from being appreciated for their looks. Women’s wearing hijab have conveyed that dressing reasonably and covering their hair, lessens sexual harassment in the workplace. The private atmosphere created by hijab is symbolism of the special value Islam places upon women.
It is fact that in some cultures women that they are enforced to wear hijab but this is not the standard. The Quran openly says that there is not at all compulsion in Islam .
There is no compulsion
In the religion
Right way has become clear
From (the way of) error
He who rejects the powers of evil
And puts his faith in Allah, all
Has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing
Which shall never give way; for Allah is All-hearing; All-knowing (Quran 2: 256)
Across the world numerous events have been observed in which women’s have fought for the right of wearing hijab. The women’s who take their decisions to wear hijab donot take it lightly.
So briefly Hiab is a symbol of great inner strength and fortitude. Women wearing hijab makes her prominent muslim. Women who wear hijab enforce that the significance of hijab far outweigh any disadvantage contrived by media bias .
