Hijab Style

By Monica Vandiver
In verse 24:31,

The Qur'an says, (which means):

"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty, that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must appear thereof; that they should draw their "khimars" (a head cover that hangs from the top of the head down over the neck, shoulders, etc.) over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, and their sons, or their husbands' sons, their brothers, and their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free from physical needs, or small children
who have no sense of the sexes, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention totheir hidden ornaments. O ye believers!"

**some people call these items (such as scarves, etc.) "hijaabs", but actually the word "hijab" is meant to describe the FULL hijab,
complete cover from head to toe.

A Hijab is a dress that is meant to cover the women's head and neck from the age of puberty. There is not only one way to wrap the cover up, though.
