History of the Hijab - Discovering Muslim Common Attire

By Abraham Kone


According to Islamic scholarship it has a bigger explanation 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. Jilbabs have been a prominent a part of Islamic tradition since the 1970s. Opinions as to how the apparel have to be worn vary from person to person within the Muslim faith.

The significance of jilbabs in Islam is essential to understand for the Muslims too 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 concerning the religion Islam were imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H), it is for that reason used quite frequently over the Quran in lieu of modest and decent clothes that should be worn by all Muslims.

In the Qur'an the hijab is not referred to as an article of islamic outfits for lady or men, rather as a spiritual curtain providing 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, garments 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. Confident lady wear full shape outfit leaving just their eyes visible; while others only appear it necessary to cover their hair and cleavage.

The rules of concealment are often relaxed for elderly woman. It's often viewed that they are past the prospect of marriage and thus may lay aside their outer clothing. Though, they still must not make a wanton display of their attractiveness.
