Topic > Hijab in the Quran: The Beginning - 1687

Hijab in the Quran: The BeginningWoman must struggle to survive in this world. Women face a variety of challenges every day, from cultural to economic ones. It is even more difficult for a Muslim woman to live when she is hijaabi. Wearing hijab is a very popular thing among Muslim women just like wearing turban for shikh man. The hijab may seem like a simple head covering, worn by Muslim women for many years, but it is very significant for a Muslim woman. The word hijab comes from the Arabic word “hajaba” which means to hide, hide the body, beauty from the gaze of strangers and act as a barrier, like a curtain. The use of the hijab began many years ago with the thesis of scholars: does it refer to the outer surface of a woman's clothing, which covers every part of her body? Or does it except the face and hands and feminine adornments such as rings, bracelets and makeup? There are further ambiguous Qur'anic codes whereby women draw the "khimar" (or scarf) to cover the "jayb" (or breast/upper chest), and for "the wives and daughters of the Prophet and the women of the believers to draw their “jalabibs” (or cloaks) surround them.” The latter interpretation was adopted by Abu Jafar al-Tabari, who is in favor of the hijab option7. Some scholars say that it could also be left to the Muslim woman to decide alone whether to wear or not she wants to cover herself completely with the niqab, as an expression of her Islamic faith and identity, or not Hijab: the powerful weapon of Muslim women The sacred text of Islam is known as the Koran that never was. changed and is considered the most beautiful book in Arabic This Arabic text is believed to be the word of God revealed to the prophet Muhammad.. psychoanalysis, Culture and Society 13, n. : 35-47, http://ezproxy.qa.proquest.com/docview/216499710?accountid=14771.Tarlo, Emma.
