[quote]<p align=justify>No doubt, this verse delineates directives regarding male and female interaction but it does not promulgate anything regarding head covering.

<p align=justify>You are perhaps referring to the part: [green] let them wear their head-coverings over their bosoms [/green]

<p align=justify>It needs to be appreciated that this specific verse is asking the ladies to cover thier bosoms; it is not commanding them to cover their heads and then cover their bosoms. This means that the concern of Shari'ah is covering of the chest as the Law does not always go into minute details. In Shari'ah, we find minimum possible directives. We are not given a complete list of everything that falls within the ambit of good and evil. There is no need to think of a good act in the lower terms if it has not been ordained by Allah. Our moral sense does guide us. Under the influence of this moral sense, women have been wearing head covering since ages. I just know it will perpetuate just as our moral sense is definitely going to perpetuate no matter if such perpetuation is on smaller scale. A downward movement in a civilization is a harbinger of the boom that will definitely pervail.
