Why Hijab?

Assalamualaikum everyone...
May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you my lovely sisters in Islam.


Why do Muslim women have to cover their heads with hijab?

The answer simple - Muslim women wearing HIJAB because Allah has told them to do so.

It is mentioned in the Qur'an:

"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands..." (Qur'an 24:30-31)

What is hijab?

According to cometoislam.com ,
The word "hijab" comes from the Arabic word "hajaba" meaning to hide from view or conceal. In the present time, the context of hijab is the modest covering of a Muslim woman.  

As a muslimah, we have to realize that hijab is our true identity. It is not an oppression. But it preserves our modesty, our dignity, and our obedience to Allah. 

I found a video in youtube which explain why we should wear hijab.
The title of the video is "Why Hijab"
It's a short movie about hijab. Staring Amy Jordan and directed by Farzad Wafapoor.
This is really a great video  because it gives us the reasons why we should wear hijab. Wearing hijab that would be a good thing to do. Hijab is not an oppression, but it's our freedom. 
And I'm absolutely agree with this.
Freedom is doing the right things without fearing other people. The right things in this context is doing what Allah told us to do.


Here is the video :

So, how do you think about that short movie?
I hope this video would bring you such a brand new view about hijab.
My sister, Islam really has a great respect for women. That's why Allah told us to protect ourselves from harm by wearing the hijab.

Congratulation to you my sister who wear hijab, because Allah has guided your heart to wear it :)
And for my sister who are still afraid to wear hijab, afraid to be different, may Allah guide you to wear it. Wearing hijab is a good thing to do. Hijab is not just a piece of clothes, but it shows your modesty, dignity and obedience to Allah.
May Allah bless us and keep us away from the temptation of shaitan. Ameen...

A woman in a Hijab is just like a PEARL in its shell..
