History of the Hijab - Checking out Muslim Standard Costume

By Abraham Kone


According to Islamic scholarship it has a wider definition of modesty, privacy and morality. It means curtain in Arabic and a meta-physical description of 'al-hijab' is a veil which separates man or the world from God. Hijabs have been a prominent an element of Islamic tradition since the 1970s. Opinions as to how the garment should be worn vary from person to person within the Muslim faith.

The significance of hijabs in Islam is crucial to understand for the Muslims as well as non Muslims. This Arabic origin word may be literally translated into the word veil or cover. As Arabic is the language, in which all revelations related to the religion Islam were imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H), it's thus used quite frequently over the Quran in lieu of modest and decent clothing that should be worn by all Muslims.

In the Qur'an the hijab is not referred to as an article of islamic attire for woman or men, rather as a spiritual curtain delivering it's wearer with privacy. The Qur'an instructs male Muslims to speak to the wives of Muhammed only behind a hijab. The issue of modesty within the Qur'an applies to men and women's gazes, gaits, apparel and genitalia.

Women are expected to wear hijabs (cloaks) in public to prevent them from harm. Muslim girl are required to wear the hijab in front of any man whom they could theoretically marry. Thus it does not should be worn in front of fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children. It's as well not compulsory to wear the clothing in front of one other Muslim girl.

Islamic modesty is interpreted uniquely by every practicing individual depending on their specific beliefs. Certain girl wear full form dress leaving only their eyes visible; whilst others just might seem it necessary to cover their hair and cleavage.

The rules of concealment are often relaxed for elderly woman. It's usually viewed that they are past the prospect of marriage and therefore can lay aside their outer garments. Though, they still must not make a wanton display of their wonder.
