Why do Muslims have to cover themselves?

Why Muslim have to cover themselves is because the Holy Qur’an says so. Both male and female must cover themselves in the most proper way as it is written in the book. For female, only face and palms must be shown. And why? because islam is leading their followers to avoid problems related to wearing ‘too open” outfits. It is believed that if a woman wear an outfits like tang tops and shorts will arouse males’ sexual desire. And this is forbidden in Islam. It is also suggested that by wearing covering outfit, a muslim will be able to keep herself from doing something nasty like seducing a male. This condition will also avoid Muslims from one of the most forbidden sin that is having free sex out side their marriage.

Muslims must wear the hijab because Allah ordered it. Muslims have two sources for guidance. The first and most important source is Qur’an, the revealed word of Allah. They they use Hadiths which is the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad who was chosen by Allah to be a role model for mankind. Here are two passages from the Qur’an that explain the hijab.   ”O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed…” (Qur’an 33:59) “Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah (swt) is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty to their husbands…” (Qur’an 24:30-31) By covering themselves, they are evaluated for their intelligence and skills instead of looks and sexuality. Many women who cover are filled with dignity and self-esteem and are happy to be identified as a muslim woman. By wearing the headscarf the woman is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to shine. Aside from that, it is pleasing to Allah and in return she earns blessings from wearing it.

Some people have different views. At the end of the day it’s up to you. There are so many people who wear it and take it off, or who just don’t wear it. It’s only best to wear it when your ready.
