Hijab And Their Religious Significance

Hijab And Their Religious Significance

The importance of hijab in Islam is very important to understand for the Muslims and non Muslims. This word can be literally translated from Arabic into said veil or cover. Since Arabic is the language, in which all the revelations about the Islamic religion communicated to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), therefore it is used quite often throughout the Qur'an as a substitute for courtesy and good clothes to be worn by all Muslims. Arabic is not the primary language of Muslims, however, all trying to learn the language in order to be able to read and understand the Qur'an. However, it has been translated into other languages ​​including English and Urdu to make it easy for people to understand the important message conveyed in it.

According to various interpretations of the holy Quran, it is generally understood that the term refers to the headscarf or hijab head covering worn by Muslim women. With time though, there appear various religious groups, which although following the basic tenets of Islam, but have certain differences between them based on how they interpret the teachings of the Holy Quran. Because of this sectarianism, the topic of the hijab has received a lot of analysis of variance.

Group of countries which means that most fundamentalist veil that covers her entire body from head to toe in a black loose fitting clothing that hides even the hands, feet and face except the eyes. Contrary to that, the most liberal Muslims consider it just needs to wear proper clothing and do not let the body do not need. The most common and perhaps most moderate Muslims but did not agree with either of these versions. According to them, is very important to cover the head with a scarf, called a hijab, but there is no limit on the black robes are often only fitted loosely referred to as the abaya by them over the clothes worn are not promiscuous in any way.

The debate goes on and on among all Muslims of the world's opinion is different, but all are set in following what they believe is the true meaning of the hijab. What all failed to understand the religious significance of the veil, that is to preach the honor and maintain its integrity. The question should not be whether to cover the hands and feet are correct or the right to wear pants. Questions should be discussed what we learned from wearing clothing that does not expose the body for all to see. It not only teaches respect for self, but also to respect others and the values ​​and beliefs.
