final exams make me busy, but now that I spend there free time to write a few posts on this blog.
In this post I will write about the hijab.
Hijab refers to both the head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and modest Muslim styles of dress in general.
According to Islamic scholarship, hijab is given the wider meaning of modesty, privacy, andmorality the words for a headscarf or veil used in the Qur'an are khimār and jilbaab, not hijab. Still another definition is metaphysical, where al-hijab refers to "the veil which separates man or the world from God.
The term hijab or veil is not used in the Qur'an to refer to an article of clothing for women or men, rather it refers to a spatial curtain that divides or provides privacy. The Qur'an instructs the male believers (Muslims) to talk to wives of Prophet Muhammad behind a hijab. This hijab was the responsibility of the men and not the wives of Prophet Muhammad. However, in later Muslim societies this instruction, specific to the wives of Prophet Muhammad, was generalized, leading to the segregation of the Muslim men and women. The modesty in Qur'an concerns both men's and women's gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia. The clothing for women involves khumūr over the necklines and jilbab (cloaks) in public so that they may be identified and not harmed. Guidelines for covering of the entire body except for the hands, the feet and the face, are found in texts of fiqh and hadith that are developed later.
Some people think that wearing a veil that can make them look old. There are also people who think that wearing hijab is not fashionable, and looks old. But now wear the hijab can be tricked by the creation how to wear hijab but still follow the rules and laws of Islam. Actually no longer a reason for not wearing hijab, but it all comes back to each individual.
So start to learn to cover our aurat in accordance with the religious beliefs
