The Hijab Facts

By Agus Rahman


What is a Hijab? This will be a strange question if one is not a Muslim. Hijab is the modest attire for Muslim ladies, which most Islamic legal systems define as covering everything besides the face and hands in public. There's always a misconception among people that the Muslim lady are forced to wear Hijab. This thought related to Jilbabs is absolutely wrong. To make you understand the fact, I have explained the actual definition of

or a better understanding, the word "HIJAB" might be explained letter by letter. To start with, the word 'H' stands for headscarf. Most people out there think that having a face veil is mandatory for proper Hijab. The truth is that, for a Muslim girl to follow proper Hijab, it is enough to cover the girl's hair, neck, and bosom. Covering the face is not mandatory and for that matter, there are absolutely no evidences to suggest that Muslim women are to cover their faces.

The second letter 'I, goes for intentions. What do you think is the factor behind Muslim girl wearing a Hijab? Compulsion? No, the absolute factor for this is their belief in GOD. They believe that God (Allah in Arabic) tells them to follow the principles of attire. When putting on Hijab, it literally means that we are pleasing God (hopefully) and we are guarding our modesty, and we are respecting ourselves and our communities by not showing off body parts that nobody have to see unless that person is our husband or very close relative.

However, Hijab is not just a headscarf. It's the complete way of covering your form. The just components of a woman's form that may shown to the public are the girl hands, face,, feet. The third letter 'J' of Hijab stands for Jilbab which constitutes the outer apparel. It describes a clothing that we wear on top of our underclothes. The underclothes might be anything like a long clothing, a shirt and pants, a jacket and long skirt, etc.

It is well known that a Muslim women's attire must meet the requirements like: The girl's clothes must not be tight, the girl clothes must not be sheer, the girl's apparel must not reveal the body of the girl form, and the woman dresses must not resemble clothings that is primarily worn by men. Therefore the letter 'a' stands for 'attire'.

As already said in the beginning of this article,. Muslim women might do things to make herself feel stunning and look presentable to the outside world. She may wear garments that is colorful (although it shouldn't be extravagant), she can wear jewellery like Hijab pins that pleases her (although she should make sure that the woman jewelry isn't so noisy that it attracts attention),. A Muslim girl have to always gaze neat, clean, and attractive.

To conclude,,, moral person in the world.
