The Hijab. Why? By Muhammad Ismail

THE HIJAB. WHY?

Extraordinary consideration has been given by the Islamic Law to women’s affairs. Such consideration is sufficient to protect her chastity, to honor her and to secure her position in life.

 The “restrictions” placed upon her regarding her dress and the display of her beauty and ornament is only to guard against all ways of corruption arising from such dazzling displays.

 What Islam has established is not a restriction on the freedom of women but is a firm protection for her from falling down to the lowest levels of humility. In this work, we mention the virtues of a critical aspect of this protection: the HIJAB.

The characteristics of the Hijab are discussed, bringing the glad tidings promised (by Allah) to those women adhering to it.

We also point out the danger of dazzling displays of ornaments and beauty as well as the terrible repercussions in this life and in the hereafter for those who practice Tabar’roj.
