[quote]Sister Saba' arguments wonderful and full of research. I read all above discussionS FROM all participants and can conclude for myself that: [b]Head covering is not must [/b] but [b]it is [u]better[/u] option religiously also [/b]. It has been mentioned in Quran (even if u say it is for only wives of Prophet Muhammed (pbum))and then in the history of muslims almost all muslims followed it as to get more and more rewards and to please GOD. Then it becomes a part of culture so much so that if a woman tried not to cover head , she had been considered bad muslim woman. Then culture took a new turn in last century and woman started to go out without head covering. So now there is conflict that it is faraz or simple a islamic culture?? After big research from some modern era scholars it has been found that 1) According to Quran and sunnah it is not must but, only modest dressing and covering the chest area are two main things which are [b]faraz[/b]. 2) If some women are covering to please Allah (and only Allah , not husband or their surrounding islamic culture), [b]she will definitely get more reward.[/b] 3) When a woman wear head cover , she definitely looks more modest than a woman without it (provided both are wearing same modest dress)and moreover if woman wear [b]abaya[/b] she definitley looks more modest than head scarf alone. This is true but interstingly same rule applied to [b]MAN[/b] as well. A man looks more modest in dressing when he is covering himself with hat(or topi whatever)and wearing full sleeves shirt and so on as compared to a man who is wearing simple T-shirt and jeans. (sorry !here I went away from the topic) 4) [b]So [/b] if woman want to become more [b]modest looking[/b], when going out to avoid [b]mischievious staring [/b] [b]OR[/b] to Please Allah, she can do anything [b]from wearing head cover to full abaya with even face covering.[/b].But it should be choice of woman herself not outside pressure..... otherwise MODEST DRESS [b]IS MUST FOR ALL MAN AND WOMAN [/b] [u]BUT WOMAN HAS SOME ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS FROM QURAN [/u] AND THOSE ARE: WHEN GOING OUT 1) NOT TO SHOW THEIR MAKE UP OR JEWELLARY AND 2)THEY SHOULD COVER THEIR CHEST AS WELL. IF I am wrong or anybody wants to add something, please tell me. I want to guide my own daughter and want to explain her in detail and then to give her choice.[/quote]
