Jilbāb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since there are no pictures of 7th century jilbab, nor any surviving garments, it is not at all clear if the modern jilbab is the same garment as that referred to in the Qur'an. Beginning in Egypt, in the Arabic-speaking region, the subject of the hijab was revived in the 1970s in the context of an emergent Islamic consciousness and movement that spread steadily throughout the Islamic East (El Guindi 1980, 1981a, b, c, 1982a, b, c, d, 1983, 1984, 1985a, 1986a, 1987, 1995b, 1996a). The Qur'anic dress terms khimar and jilbab, and the notion of immoderate excess (tabarruj), and a contrasting opposition tahajjub/sufur, all reappeared as a revived contemporary vocabulary dominating daily discourse among the youth in the movement and around the nation (Hamza 1981; Sidque 1975). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jilbab   (689 words)

Jilbab- A Critical Study In the period of the prophet Muhammad SAW the Jilbab was an outfit covering the whole of an adult woman’s body. Even the tradition of wearing the jilbab amongst the sahabat (prophet’s companions) and amongst their followers is more of a cultural obligation than a religious one. I am not entirely for or against wearing the jilbab as long as wearing it is due to someone’s consciousness that it is an option and one potential mode of expression of self-searching for a Muslim woman. www.irfi.org /articles/articles_401_450/jilbab_a_critical_study.htm   (2016 words)

Evidences for Jilbab Other sisters protest that the name "jilbab" is used in Arabic today to refer to a very specific style and type of garment and Allah SWT could not have specified that all Muslim sisters are to wear this and only this type of garment. Jilbab is the outer sheet or covering which a woman wraps around her ON TOP OF HER GARMENTS to cover herself from head to toe. This is because the jilbab serves the purposes of asserting the Islamic identity of a sister, and of protecting her from harassment, which are concerns only outdoors and in public. www.muhajabah.com /jilbab.htm   (4848 words)

Jilbab ruling for Muslim pupils 'would be divisive' | News crumb | EducationGuardian.co.uk Ms Spencer pointed out that the jilbab was part of the uniform in Muslim schools and there had been no problems, apart from some difficulties with physical education.

"A Jilbab in the School's Colors" [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes But then, starting in September 2002, she said her faith had deepened and she had to wear a jilbab, an ankle-length gown that covers the entire body but for the face and hands. Comment: Although the jilbab lost this round, it is already acceptable at other British schools (indeed Denbigh High tried to get Begum to transfer to one of those) and it seems destined to vanquish the opposition.

School to refuse to let student wear jilbab - Pravda.Ru   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Britain 's highest appeals court ruled unanimously Wednesday that a school acted properly in refusing to allow a student to wear her choice of Muslim clothing rather than the attire permitted under school policy. The school, where four-fifths of the students are Muslim, allows students to wear trousers, skirts or a traditional shalwar kameez, which consists of trousers and a tunic. The reality is that the choice of secondary school is usually made by parents or guardians rather than by the child herself."

Muslim girl loses Lords fight over jilbab | News crumb | EducationGuardian.co.uk Shabina Begum, 17, argued that banning her from wearing the jilbab at Denbigh high school in Luton, Bedfordshire, breached her rights to education and to manifest her religion, as guaranteed by the European convention on human rights. But the law lords said there was no right to be educated at a particular school, and she could have moved earlier to a single-sex school where the garment would be unnecessary or to a school where it was permitted. Shabina had worn the shalwar kameez (tunic and trousers) for her first two years at the school, but when she was nearly 13 she went to school in a jilbab. education.guardian.co.uk /schools/story/0,,1737482,00.html   (331 words)

[No title] As for the Jilbab or the lower garment, Islam has commanded the Muslim woman to wear over her dress a Jilbab or a cape or something similar (one or two pieces) that would cover the whole of her body down to the ankles. If she has not got a Jilbab, she can always borrow it from a neighbour or relative, otherwise it would not be right for her to go out without such a dress that covers her body and is suitable for outdoors. This evidently demonstrates that the Jilbab that a Muslim woman should wear over her dress while outdoors should be lowered all the way down until it covers the legs. members.lycos.co.uk /archive6782002/August/Al_Khimar_Al_Jilbab.htm   (2243 words)

Shabina and Her Jilbab THE recent decision by a British Appeals Court in Luton to grant a Muslim girl permission to wear a jilbab to the school where she is no longer a student has made a mockery of the British judicial system.

Shabina Begum, 16, decided when she turned 14 to wear a jilbab, a full-length dress that conceals the shape of a woman's arms and legs.

Jihad through Jilbab: Hizb ut Tahrir welcomes Islamist garb ruling as "a great source of motivation for Muslims living ... The school in question is mostly Muslim and already allows certain forms of Islamic dress.The school's Jilbab ban was a result of concerns about 'fundamentalist' manifestations of Islamic religious attire causing division among students, and not had nothing to do with secular or British concerns about the character of the school. While Miss Begum's victory to wear the jilbab to lessons was a personal triumph, her case is just one example of a wider problem among the young female Muslims.

Faith Freedom International :: View topic - Girl barred from school for wearing the Jilbab   (Site not responding.

However despite this, she insisted upon wearing the jilbab, a matter she considered as fard (an Islamic obligation) and therefore as important to her as her prayers.
