actually ... not. The first time in history we find covering of a woman's head, is in the Laws of Hammurabi. Women were divided to "ladies" and "prostitutes" and the "prostitutes" were the ones to cover their head by law. Later the covering went on and on from many and different patriarchal societies that treated women as objects, so the coast was clear for men to participate in all the aspects of financial life. From the Chinese to the Greeks and from the Arabs to the Church. As of the above pics, nice try with all the models in a western background. But even in our eyes they fake and just another fashion show.

You are wrong, men too are asked to lower their gaze and behave modestly. Both men and women are part of this equation. They both have requirements. Hijab makes me feel strong and empowered. No one has access to my body. I’m in control. Hijab is an act of worship whatever God instructs and requires us to do is for our own benefit, even if we don’t get it. You trust the doctor and follow his orders and prescriptions even when he gives you a bitter pill you don’t like because you trust he can help you heal. Hijab is not about protecting you from males. Hijab is mentioned in Surat AnNur (i,e, The Light) and it is linked to the name of Allah anNur. It is a spiritual light for the woman, it increases and protects her spiritual light. Hijab is an Imani (faith) act, this is why Allah addressed believing womenwhen He ordered it. It is about iman (faith). You said “Why don’t they just.. oh never mind” We should help one another, not destruct one another. We are allies, not enemies!

Why don't you mind your business?
