Surah which talks about the hijab

Our belief as Muslim women and Muslims in general is that this life is a temporary testing ground for us before we pass on to the eternal life of the hereafter. When the ignorant make comments of oppression because of the hijab, a believing woman knows this is simply not true.

The rulings of hijab are for our protection, not oppression. Interesting we hear you say, we thought the same too… These verses were revealed during the 4 th year of Hijrah and after some of the most important commandments in Islam such as: The obligatory 5 daily prayers, commonly known as Salah Zakat the rulings of inheritance Fasting during the holy month of Ramadan Zakat-ul-Fitr even commandments regarding marriage and divorce!

So what is hijab? That is purer for your hearts and their hearts". Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 53 It is important that we should pay attention to the original language used in the Quran to avoid any confusion. That is more suitable that they will be recognised and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands up to the wrist.

If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.

Enjoin your wives, your daughters, and the wives of true believers that they should cast their outer garments over their persons when abroad. That is most convenient, that they may be distinguished and not be harassed.

The reason why Muslim women should wear an outer garment when going out of their houses is not to get harassed. And Allaah says interpretation of the meaning :.

This is among the strongest evidence that all Muslim women are obliged to observe hijab. When the Messenger of Allaah peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him married Zaynab bint Jahsh, whom he married in Madeenah, he invited the people to a meal after the sun had risen. Then he thought that they had left so he went back and I went back with him, and they were still sitting there.

Then he drew a curtain between me and him, and the verse of hijab was revealed. He classed it as saheeh and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. And she would say to us: What comes after that? And she would say: That is confirming the idea of hijab.
