The Factor for Muslim Ladies Putting on Hijabs

By Febby Febiola


The primary reason for putting on Jilbabs (too knows as Abayas in the Middle Eastern nations) as a Muslim female is that it's a commandment of Allah (God) as may be seen by the following verse from the Quran:

"O Prophet (Might Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)! Inform thy wives and thy daughters plus the lady of the believers to draw over them their cloaks (veils). That in the least for that reason that they be recognised without having to be molested. " (Surah Ahzaab, Verse 59).

Islam is a way of life for the Muslim man or female, they are supposed to follow the commandment of Allah, Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was an example to mankind and that they are should follow the way shown by him, this is all the things from how to sleep, how to eat, what to wear, how to get married and all the things else that a person wants to know to live a healthy and fulfilling life as a Muslim.

, who all interpret Islam differently according to their understanding of the Quran and Hadith (the sayings and actions of the prophet Muhammad).. The toughest stance by Muslim scholars for women's attire, is for the whole form to be covered with loose outfits plus the face covered with a Niqab and even the eyes should be covered with a veil. The softest stance is for a Muslim woman to wear a loose Jilbab or clothings having a headscarf.

The way a Muslim women is identified is by the girl's wearing the Jilbab and Hijab (a headscarf), whilst other Muslim girl may choose not to wear Islamic dress up though are practicing Islam as they deem practical or suitable to them, which according to Islam is pretty sinful. This may be seen by the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):

"Many women are clothed however , naked for that matter. Such women will never enter paradise nor will they smell its fragrance. "

Wearing a Jilbab or Abaya isn't easy for a Muslim female, especially in the West due to the stares and verbal abuse that they sometimes have to suffer. It's also hard for those lady who decide to begin practicing Islam and start wearing the Jilbab, whilst the rest of their family wear western dress up,.
