You are merely repeating what you had posted on the other thread.

[quote]why would women be carrying around random covers?[/quote]

Just because you do not understand why women would be carrying around random covers does not mean they did not carry random covers. Can you prove they did not carry random covers? Can you prove that those women actually had the head covers wrapped around their head before the verse came? From all I have read, they were merely used as an adorenment, like the 'dupatta' I mentioned. It was not used to cover the head like the modern day hijaab.

My point is simply let us adhere to what the Qur'an says. And it says to cover the bossom with the head covering. It does not say COVER THE HEAD. It was easy for Allah to say that, yet He did not. Let us not add stuff from our own.

Whether or not the head is covered with the head covering is not even discussed in the Qur'an. So why is it such an issue?

And lastly, it is the women's choice to cover the head or not. Islam requires modesty from men and women, and culture, morality and vogeu can dictate what the dress code should be. Islam does not ask us to adhere to strick dress code like the Saudis or Iranis ask for.
