	Hijab.com » Symbol or Practice?
		The Quran and Sunnah are clear that the Hijab is a required form of dress for Muslim women, and an expression of the principle of modesty from an Islamic perspective.
		Hijab is a religious practice akin to attending Mass for a Catholic, wearing a habit for a nun, praying five times a day for a Muslim, or wearing a Kippah for a Jewish man.
		If Hijab is defined as a practice, putting an end to it clearly violates the laws of countries like France, as well as international law, both of which guarantee the freedom of religion and religious expression and practice.

	Hijab: Suppression or Liberation
		Adherence to the wearing of hijab is one of the major dilemmas that Muslim women face both in America and throughout the rest of the world.
		When asked if the hijab was forced upon them, 98 percent of the fifteen Muslim women surveyed stated that it was not, that in fact they were wearing the hijab by their own free will.
		Muslim women who conform to the hijab may be discouraged by their family members who consider this adaptation as yielding to a radical wing.

	BBC - Religion & Ethics - Beliefs: Hijab
		This means that hijab is not obligatory in front of the father, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children.
		Hijab does not need to be worn in front of other Muslim women, but there is debate about what can be revealed to non-Muslim women.
		Hijab, in the sense of veiling, can also be achieved by hanging a curtain or placing a screen between women and men to allow them to speak to each other without changing dress.

	The Reality of Hijab
		Hijab is an Arabic word which literally means a cover, a screen or a partition.
		By wearing Hijab, a woman shields herself from the rampant desires of man. By his very nature, man is a creature of intense desire.
		The Hijab controls this desire and thus not only protects the woman, but also the man. Sexually motivated crimes in the west are on the increase.

	Hijab
		The hijab has in recent decades more and more come to be associated with Islamism, hence it is partly prohibited in some Muslim countries, like Tunisia and Turkey.
		A slightly clearer command to wear the hijab comes in a passage from the hadiths, but even these do not concluslively imply a general obligation for a Muslim woman to cover her head, as it really only refers to the wives of Muhammad.
		Hence it is possible that this aya does not require women to cover their hair or even their faces, but to wear the body garment in such a way that they cover and hide erotic parts of a women's body, such as her breasts.

	Muslimahs in hijab coming under attack in Sri Lanka, as elsewhere

		Prominent among the hijab incidents in Sri Lanka is that of two Muslim teachers - F. Munafdeen and F. Faiz - who were suspended from their work at a government school in Badulla (north east Sri Lanka) earlier this year, because they wear the hijab.
		In Turkey, an overwhelmingly Muslim country, hijab is banned in government offices and in government-run schools and universities because it offends the alleged sensitivities of secularism, the new religion.

		The HIJAB allows a woman to move about outside the confines of her home with her attention on the tasks she has set out to do.

	OBSERVATIONS ON HIJAB
		The first yo-yo hijab, also known as the Benazir Bhutto hijab, is the scarf that keeps falling down and needs to be constantly pulled back up....up, down, up, down, just like a yo-yo.
		I wanted to go up to a sister and say "Is your hijab naturally curly?" I also felt compelled to go up to another girl and say "pardon me, but is your hijab naturally that color, or did you dye it?".
		Hijab is used for protection from guys as well as from the girl herself, and should not be used as an accessory or for beautifying one's self.

		There is nothing in hijab that restricts a woman's freedom-to express her views and opinion, to own property, to have an education and a career, or to choose a husband.
		A woman without hijab is generally dealt with from the point of view that she is a human being, but also "through her femininity and through what she stirs up in men by her exposed body" (19).
		Thus, hijab is a weapon and a barrier, not because women are weak, but because society is. It is a spiritual barrier, an empowerment, a guarantee that a woman will be judged by her inner spiritual beauty rather than her outer superficial appearance.

		The hijab requirement will likely be removed from the books there, but women will still be under societal and parental pressure to continue to cover, as they are throughout Malaysia.

		From this ayah we see that the hijab is a protection for the woman and has been ordered to protect the woman from being molested and being made in sex objects.
		The hijab makes for greater purity for the hearts of believing men and women because it screens against the desire of the heart.
		That is why the heart is more pure when the sight is blocked (by hijab) and thus the prevention of fitna (evil actions is very much manifested).

	The Hijab Experience of Canadian Muslim Women by Katherine Bullock
		Nor do the women believe that Hijab hinders their freedom, rather Hijab is seen as a device to facilitate Muslim women's movements outside the home.
		The women argue that the idea that Hijab means women should not go outside is contradicted by the Sunnah of the Prophet: during his lifetime women were very actively involved in the community, in business, in fighting wars, in scholarship and so on.
		An aspect of Hijab that came through strongly in the interviews was how wearing Hijab gives these women sources of inner strength and a high level of confidence and self-esteem.

	Women in Islam: Hijab
		While hijab means "cover," "drape," or "partition;" the word khimar means veil covering the head, and the word litham or niqab means veil covering the lower face up to the eyes.
		Firstly, the hijab was associated with two of the Qur'an's "clothing laws" imposed upon all Muslim females: "The mantle" verse of Q33:59 and the "modesty" verse of Q24:31.
		On the one hand, the semantic association of domestic segregation (hijab) with garments to be worn in public (jilbab, khimar), resulted in the use of the term hijab for concealing garments that women wore outside of their houses.
