In Islam woman is like a pearl which is hidden in
shell which is priceless. Wearing Hijab is a graceful act of a Muslim woman.
Hijab is a dress code of a Muslim woman. It is a religious duty of a woman to
wear Hijab. Allah says in Quran:-
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the
believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen
themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be
better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be
annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Qur’an, 33:59)
Hijab brings
true spirituality in a Muslim woman and she becomes more attractive toward
Allah. Muslim women are modest and Allah loves them more than any woman of the
world. Allah gives a shield of protection to a muslimmah and that shield is
Hijab. The beauty of a Muslim woman is in Hijab. Hijab shows that this woman
has modesty in herself and modesty is important and appreciates by Allah.
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that:-
“ Allah is Modest and he likes modesty. Modesty is a
quality which is given to a Muslimaah by Allah Almighty so it’s the duty of a
woman to protect that modesty. How a woman can give protection to that modesty?
When a woman wears Hijab the modesty of that woman is protected. Hijab has the
quality to protect the modesty of a woman. Allah says in Quran:-
"And stay in your houses and do not display yourselves (at-tabaruj) like that of the times of
ignorance ...”
Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH) said:-
"The best of your women is the affectionate, the fertile (in
productivity), the propitious (favorable), the consultative if they fear Allah.
The most evil of your women are the Mutabar'rijat (those who do at-tabaruj),
the Mutakhayyilat (who strut/swagger), and they are the hypocrites. Those who
enter Al-Jannah (the Paradise) are like the Cough Crow."
This dress code of a Muslimmah wards off bad and
evil intentions. It is the most common principle of Islam to make a system of
goodness and virtue. In a society where men and women can easily interact to
each other without any limitation can be a society of evils. Islam puts some
restrictions on these opposite genders. Hijab in Islam allows man to look at
woman with the eye of honour. The Muslim woman who wears Hijab gets honour
which a woman who is without Hijab cannot get. The basic aim of Hijab is to
guard the modest of a Muslim man. The women who don’t wear Hijab can be easily
trapped by Shytan. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) Said that:-
"Verily
a woman walks in the form of Shaytaan. Her approaching and recoiling are in the
form of Shaytaan."
At another place Hazrat Muhammed(PBUH) said:-
"Verily
the woman is aurah ( anything that is concealed by shame and prudency) whenever
she leaves the home the Shaitan raises his eyes and looks towards her. When she
is in the innermost part of the home it is then that she is closest to her Lord
."
In Hijab A
muslim women feel a great sense of security and he enjoys the honour and
dignity in her house and out of the house. If a woman does not wear Hijab she
creates evil in the society as Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that:-
"There is nothing left after me more
dangerous to man than the temptations of women."
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave order to His wives
and the other Muslim women to wear Hijab so that they can be recognized aas
Muslim woman. May Allah make us able to protect this shield which is gifted to
us By Allah Almighty and to protect our honour and dignity.(Amen)
