HomeWhen the Muslim woman leaves the house she covers her body with a long dress to her ankles, and she covers her head with a scarf. She doesn’t want to beautify herself for other people. When she returns home she removes her scarf and beautifies herself for her husband and her family.
It’s not Muslim men that are forcing Muslim women to cover themselves; it’s what God had commanded in the Quran. Allah says,
Quran 33:59 O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when they go out or are among men). This is most convenient, that they should be known (to be Muslims) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Quran 24:31 “ And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof, that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, fathers, husbands' fathers, sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women or the slaves whom their right hand possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah (S.W.T) that ye may attain Bliss.
Have you ever wondered why the Christians and the Catholics do not make pictures of Mary, the mother of Jesus (PBUH), with her hair uncovered? In every picture that you see portraying Mary, her hair is covered. Was she of the righteous or unrighteous? She was of the righteous.
