Because Muslims believe it is “improper” to show a woman’s face and hair in public.

It’s a tradition thing? idk.
They’re not allowed to show anything except for their eyes – and I’m guessing that it’s to see where they are going. Otherwise, they are too provocative. If they share eye contact with another man, then it’s seen as “I want you”. And if they show skin, it’s BAD. A husband can discipline his wife for this.
neolithic tradition
Muslim men are freaks.They don’t want their women seen, and admired by other men. In some parts they cut off the Clitoris of a woman so that the woman can’t experience pleasure. Aren’t you glad your an American? GOD BLESS AMERICA.
well, i am muslim and in our religion we have to cover our hair from any one that not in our family, that is why we wear headscarves. I do too, when i go out side the house.
Islam considers modesty a virtue, and the Muslim woman covers her hair and sometimes more to show humility and reverence toward God.
Incidentally, women in the Middle East have been covering their hair and faces since before Islam, as far back as the Babylonian times (thousands of years). Islam merely integrated this cultural convention into its scripture.
it used to be for a practical reason: sandstorm.
it is to not give away her pride and not lure others with her hair and attractive parts it is considered a sin that clearly shows everyone how much Islam respects women and helps family conflict just think about it……I’m a Muslim i dont cover my hair but i respect my image by not wearing clothes that reveal too much skin im not contradicting myself but im just saying im learning from the idea and i hopefuly will one day cover my hair
but whats more important is self respect … you learn a lot from your own religion !
Not all Muslim woman have to war a scarf or veil. my husbands is Muslim and some woman in her family do and others do not. It’s up to the woman. In some Arab countries they woman are forced to wear a veil or Burka. My husband tells me that the Koran tells Muslims men/women to dress modestly, for women it is generally seen as covering everything except their face, hands and feet when in the presence of men they are not related or married to.
its part of their religon
something about dunecoons and not wanting to be seen setting the bomb
hello *gasp*!,
islam commands modesty from all muslims, men and women. fundamentally, modesty is a state of mind and it is manifested outwardly in the way one dresses. in the quran, the command to guard modesty is first applied to men.
(024:030-031)
ay to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
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, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands 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, that ye may attain Bliss.
within the privacy of their homes, amongst their immediate family, and amongst a company of other women the dress code for muslim women is relaxed.
men and woman are created equal in the sight of god. they have equal opportunity to believe, to do good deeds and to be god-conscious. ultimately they have equal ability to earn god’s love and mercy. however, man and woman were not created identical. rather they complement one another in many respects.
(033:035-036)
For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.
It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.
therefore, the foremost reason that muslim women cover is because, as muslims, they submit their will to god. moreover, muslims believe that there is wisdom in everyone of god’s commands. they are neither arbitrary nor unjust
(002:185)
.. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship ..
and when we seek the wisdom behind this command we find.
(033:059)
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
the purpose for dressing conservatively, as pointed out in this verse, is that the women may be recognized (as being chaste) and so they may not be abused. a believing man of sound heart will lower his gaze and stay clear of sin. however, if a man with ill will sets off to commit sin he will recognize the woman as chaste. the hijab therefore acts as a shield sending a signal loud and clear that the muslimah wants no part of an invitation to sin.
