It represents modesty, privacy, and morality. Do all Muslim women wear a hijab? However, in some places—including Iran and the Aceh Province of Indonesia—the hijab is required by law. But, in most places, it is a matter of custom and women choose whether to wear a hijab. Most often, Muslim women decide whether to wear a hijab in their teenage years.
When did the practice of wearing a hijab start? Muhammad asked his wives to wear hijabs to set them apart from others. It was meant to indicate their special status.
Muslim women choose to wear a hijab for many reasons. Some see it as a sign of passage into adulthood. Others wear the hijab to identify themselves as Muslim and show cultural pride. Many also wear the covering to value family traditions or local customs. Of course, many Muslim women choose not to wear a hijab. Others choose to only wear it for religious occasions. The hijab has often been misunderstood by people outside of Islam.
Some people think that Muslim women are forced to wear it. However, as more people learn about the hijab and about Islam, acceptance and understanding continue to spread. Today, many women in the public eye wear a hijab. Where else have you seen women wearing hijabs?
What other examples of cultural clothing can you think of? Excellent way to describe it, Savannah! And, yes--women who wear hijab should be proud! Thanks for stopping by! Hey, Muslim girl! You should hop on over there and add it! We are undergoing some spring clearing site maintenance and need to temporarily disable the commenting feature. Thanks for your patience. The Qur'an invites the believing women to fold their scarves Khimar over their chests Juyubihina to cover the upper part of their busts when they are in public.
In fact, the classical commentaries report that the Arab women of Mecca used to uncover their neck and upper chest. The majority of Muslim scholars and exegetes agreed that the believing women must cover their hair by putting on a Khimar and leave only their faces and hands uncovered in the presence of men who do not have a direct family relationship with them.
Since there is a difference between Hijab and Khimar, we have the right to ask why do we keep using the term Hijab for what has been named in the Qur'an scarf or Khimar? This error is currently made unwillingly and mostly reproduced unconsciously, but it is worth mentioning that this semantic shift was not made innocently or casually throughout the history of the Islamic intellectual production. The semantic shifts are usually the result of incorrect translations and interpretations and socio-cultural factors, which aimed at one point in history to create "made-to-measure" concepts to serve the political interests.
And this is what happened with Hijab when it was imposed on Muslim women by inserting it willingly in the register of Islamic body ethics.
When we go back to the origin of the term Hijab, which means to "hide" or "separate", and notice the changing process that it has undergone to bear the name "scarf", we have the right to wonder if this concept was given this double meaning to religiously justify the isolation of Muslim women.
The "Hijab" was imposed on Muslim women as a way of "separation" in order to show them their place in society, and exclude them, in the name of Islam, from the socio-political sphere. Thus, replacing the Khimar with Hijab means to confuse different and opposing semantic and conceptual fields in order to endorse, in the name of Islam, the exclusion of women from the sociopolitical space behind a curtain! Indeed, to substitute the Khimar with the Hijab is to confuse two different registers.
This global vision and the holistic approach of the spiritual message of the Qur'an are important and even essential to understand the deep meaning of these verses. The hijab, on the contrary, sends a signal to men that the wearer is a modest and chaste woman who should not be annoyed. You are here Home Why hijab is important in Islam.
