Abaya Scarf

Is wearing Hijab ,Niqab or even abaya too much?
For those of you who don't know what hi jab is its the head(scarf) covering for Muslim women
Niqab=All covered with veil.
Abaya= Long Islamic Dress.
Hi Minnah,
I am a Christian and I too believe a woman should cover decently, and if you are doing this for God and faith and you chose it, not that your parents or your Imam just told you to do it and you did - then I think it is perfectly within your right to wear a hijab proudly.
Ultimately, it is what you believe in and not what others think about you. This is your relationship with God and you believe in all honest to goodness that God has commanded you and womenkind to wear the hjiab, well, what is stopping you from wearing one and spreading the word to encourage women to wear it?
However, with niqab I am a little conflicted, because I did remember reading that your Prophet commanded his wives to cover their faces and hide behind curtains because outsiders were coming in and out and he did not like it.
However, with Asma, he said, "When a woman has reached puberty she should only show here and here", pointing to hands and face.
Hence I feel niqab is not compulsory but if a woman so wishes she can wear it, but it is not compulsory.
Another supporting statement is that when a Muslim prays to God she must uncover her face to God. Why must she cover to man, and not to God?
Man is not greater than God!

The significance of hijabs in Islam is crucial to understand for the Muslims as well as non Muslims. This Arabic origin word can be literally translated into the word veil or cover. As Arabic is the language, in which all revelations about the religion Islam were imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), it is therefore used quite frequently throughout the Quran in lieu of modest and decent clothing that should be worn by all Muslims. Arabic is not the primary language of many Muslims, however, all seek to learn the language in order to be able to read and understand the Holy Quran. However, it has been translated into other languages including English and Urdu to make it easier for people to understand the important messages relayed in it.
According to the various interpretations of the holy Quran, it is commonly understood that the term hijabs refer to the head coverings or scarves worn by Muslim women. With the passage of time though, there have emerged numerous religious groups, who although follow the basic teachings of Islam, but have certain difference amongst them based on the way they interpret the teachings in the Holy Quran. Due to this sectarianism, the topic of hijabs has received numerous variant analyses.
The most fundamentalist group states that hijabs mean covering the woman's entire body from head to toe in loose fitting black outfits which conceal even the hands, feet and face except for the eyes. Opposed to that, the most liberal of the Muslims consider it only necessary to wear clothes which are decent and do not expose the body unnecessarily. The most common and probably the most moderate Muslims however do not agree with either of these versions. According to them, it is extremely important to cover the head with a scarf, referred to as the hijabs, but there is no restriction about wearing only the black loose fitted robes commonly referred to as abayas by them as long as the clothes worn are not promiscuous in any way.
The debate goes on and on between all the different opinionated Muslims of the world, but all are set in following what they believe is the true meaning of hijabs. What all fail to understand is the religious significance of hijabs, which is to preach respectability and maintain integrity. The question should not be whether covering the hands and feet is correct or wearing pants is correct. The question under discussion should be what we learn from wearing clothes that do not expose the body for all to see. It not only teaches self respect, but also to respect others and their values and beliefs.
Sohail Khan works for Islamic Impressions which specializes in retail and wholesale products for the Islamic market and stocks a wide range of hijabs including the latest Palestinian design hijabs available in a wide range of colors.
