Why do Muslim women cover their hair? #muslim #islam #hijab #muslima #hijabi #shorts

Why do Muslim women wear the hijab, Hijab explained, Muslim Women, Islam, Meaning of Hijab, Is the hijab obligatory? Hijab in the Quran

[susi-ch]

I love her explanation. But honestly not every women who were a hijab does not cheat, lie or is honest all her life. So a woman wearing hijab doesn't necessarily mean that this woman is the best advisor or friend. Believe me!!!! Maybe it should be like that, but its not reality

[ederlifortunato]

No religion is a garantee of honesty or any other attribute.

[flabbytobaddie]

Wearing hijab doesn't automatically mean someone a loyal person who doesn't cheat. I swear this is how ppl are fooled

[khushh.eeeeee]

So a woman wearing hijab is a guarantee that she will not cheat, she'll not deceive etc? Illogical. Morality and truthfulness comes from our own ability to differentiate between right and wrong, not from a piece of cloth. No piece of cloth is guarantee for anything. Anyone can be good, anyone can be bad.

I've witnessed this myself. A small but classic example is the one I saw in metro while travelling. A Muslim woman who was veiled didn't offer her seat to an old lady while a woman who was wearing a dress(let me tell her cleavage was visible too) offered her seat.

Muslims, acknowledge that you guys are no better. We all are different but equal. Your culture isn't above anyone's else and vice versa.

[luzdani]

I would say number 1 is because Allah commanded it, every other reason comes after

[ang]

Number one is "because Allah prescribed it for Muslim women"
Then you have "to identify yourself clearly as Muslim" and then
"to prevent temptation of men to look, and temptation of women to show off"

[faebalina]

Important for those of us living in the west who try to blend in.We are NOT meant to.It gets you nothing in the end just damage.They won’t thank you for it.We are meant to be recognised as Muslims.This is that truthfulness part and also contentment and pride in what Allah has ordained for us.The temptation is real but you aren’t the only one who has it, it’s a test so try to pass it.

Had a Muslim woman as a coworker. She was the complete opposite of these qualities. She literally had her head and face covered all the time, except for one time with me when she got comfortable with me, but she was a liar, barely came to work, wouldn't stay at her station n just to talk, and even tried to get the place shut down after she got fired

[Bratzismylife]

She will not lie, she will not cheat. However in my experience I caught Muslim women flirting with my boyfriend and being disrespectful. Not all women who cover and men who dress as Muslim men really follow Islam.

[aarbeaz]

I just did a presentation on the Hijab when we were learning about the Quran - and there's literally nothing in it that specifies a "hijab" necessarily. It is just said to cover ourselves, and value our modesty. But then again, the Quranic ayat are very contextual. Islam is a religion of intellect, why follow blindly?

[georgepantzikis]

She is taking that verse completely out of context. It says that the hijab is worn so that women are recognised and therefore not harmed. It is referring to an epidemic of serial sexual assaults that were happening at night-time. Women going to relieve themselves at night outside the town would be targeted by gangs of predetory men hiding in the woods. However, they wouldn't attack women with veiled hair, because that was a sign of wealth at the time, and it was too risky to attack a potentially wealthy, powerful woman. Instead, they attacked their slaves, who did not cover their hair. God's guidance regarding this problem, rather than call for the men to stop or get the honest men to protect the women, was to get all women to cover their hair as if they were wealthy. Instead of punishing rapists, he ordered women to change the way they dress to accommodate the rapists.

[ontheline]

Ok, but what about those women that were threatened with death to wear it? Are they proud and showing off too? Or they're terrified of painfull death maybe?

[arrigune]

I didn't know a piece of cloth gave you 'superdecency' powers and not your everyday actions. 😂😂😂

[impossiblyindecisive]

I had to do an assignment in a college course where we had to meet a new group of people we didn't know a lot about and interview them. I chose muslim women. I talked to a group of 6 women. Not all of them were wearing hijabs. Each one of those ladies said that it was their choice. Some wore it because they were proud of who they were and wanted people to immediately know that. One of the ladies stopped wearing hers on campus because she did not feel safe walking around with it on. Another one just didn't want to wear it. I will say that none of those ladies judged one another about it. That 2 hour long interview was a very eye-opening experience.

[dia]

If it's "to identify as a Muslim" then why do men not wear it and only women do?

[santopino]

You may be proud to be a muslim, but you can not impose your meaning of what the hijab means to non Muslims.
You are making this argument because you know that it has a completely different meaning to many non Muslims.

[Christian-gbzf]

As a Christian this was really informative and I think it’s a lovely sentiment

[thetruthhaqq]

Above all, we are the nation that hears and obeys. ALLAH tells us to cover so we submit to His commands ❤

[CatWoman]

I'm not muslim, I don't use anything to cover my head. My hair are flaying away or tight trought some elastic staff. I'm strong, very courageous person, confident and never ever I cheat, I'm a hard work and good friend for many many people, as I'm loyal, sicere, honest person or helpful and specially I'm not lying. Therefore... I been observing that many muslim woman covering their head AREN'T proving what that lady is saying in that pc. Continue to believe false words or kind of discrimination behaviors as other people from other country or religions can't be like that 😂.
Good you strongly close it! 👏

1.We do this as it is our identity (Muslim women's identity).
2.We do this to please Allah our creator.
3.we do this because it is our creators order.
4.We do this so that we can cover up our beauty from men who's are not our family members.
