Hijab is the self-effacing dress for Muslim Woman

Friday, August 21, 2009

This will be an extraordinary question if one is not a Muslim, What is a Hijab mean?. Hijab is the self-effacing dress for Muslim women that mainly Islamic legal systems define as covering everything except for the face and hands in public base on the Islam regulation. There is always a misunderstanding amongst people that the Muslim women are forced to wear Hijab. This thought about Hijabs is absolutely wrong. To build you think the fact, I have explained the real meaning of Hijabs here. Just keep reading on to discover the truth.

Most people out there think that having a face veil is not mandatory for proper Hijab. The truth is that, for a Muslim woman to follow proper Hijab, it's enough to cover their face, and also the body. Covering the face is mandatory for a good reason, in addition to guard the woman from disturbance another people. They can use abaya or any clothes such like that.

What do you think is the reason behind Muslim women wearing a Hijab? Compulsion? No, the absolute reason for this is their belief in GOD. They believe that God (Allah in Arabic) tells them to follow the principles of clothing. When wearing 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 should see unless that person is our husband or very close relative.
However, Hijab is not just a headscarf. It is the complete way of covering your body. The only parts of a woman's body that can shown to the public are her eyes and some say, hands and face. The Jilbab is constitutes the outer garment. It describes a garment that we wear on top of our underclothes. The underclothes can be anything like a long dress, 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: Her clothing must not be tight, her clothing must not be sheer, her clothing must not reveal the shape of her body, and her clothing must not resemble clothing that is primarily worn by men.

Some People have a misconception that Muslim women are forced to sacrifice their beauty by wearing the Hijabs. Muslim woman can do things to make herself feel beautiful and look presentable to their husband and family. She can wear clothing that is colourful and sexy, she can also wear jewelry (although she should make sure that her jewelry isn't so noisy that it attracts attention), and she can use beauty products that give her a polished look. A Muslim woman should always look neat, clean, and beautiful.

However, beauty is not for the purpose of attracting men, but for the purpose of being a wonderful example of a good, moral person in the world.
