(Thanks truly dear sister Dolores for your beautiful input)

hijab is for both men and women.

A hijab is the cloth a woman wears to cover her hair and neck. Ah, but there is a deeper, broader meaning of the word. Hijab is the dress and personal conduct for both men and women in order to preserve decency.

Another part of hijab is that unrelated men and women do not touch - not even to shake hands.

Hijab is to protect the dignity of women, and the dignity of all, really. We are to see each other as human beings with dignity FIRST. Only if two people marry, can they see the sexual side of each other, but never before. Sex is personal and beautiful and a most precious gift from God,%26amp;should be treated as such.

A gift like this should be opened in only the most fitting of settings, which is in holy matrimony. THEN you can open and enjoy this beautiful gift!

Before that, we are human beings, such a lofty station! We're minds, we're souls, we're emotions... not body parts on display

If you are suppose to lower your gaze, men and women, and you should stay separated, men and women, what does it matter what you wear? You wouldn't be seeing anything anyway. I think it's funny that allah makes a man cover from waist to knee only, like women are such degenerates that we automatically just look at a man's crotch. Obviously we don't care what his face, chest, arms and calves look like, just what's between the legs. Oh and men are such pigs that even an elbow will incite them to rape so you better keep it covered. Hijab is ridiculous. Modesty is fine. So is self control!

God Bless.

It's Perfect.

Islam has prescribed the Hijab for both the male and the female. The man cannot say that he can overlook his Hijab because the woman is required to lower the gaze and thus she should lower hers and not look at him. Similarly the woman cannot make a similar claim. Both the sexes are responsible for their bit and both will be answerable for how much they follow and do not follow. While some people consider the body language to play an important role in attracting lustful intentions, it is appropriate for both the sexes to be careful of their body language. The Quran prescribes the covering of the head for the females and thus there is no loophole in this command. No one can make the claim that it is not a command from Allah (swt). The fact that it is in the Quran and that Prophet Muhammad (saw) asked the women to do so, establishes it as a ruling in the Shariah although this ruling, if not followed, is not punishable under the Islamic Jurisprudence. Its punishment or mercy lies only in the hands of Allah (swt). This goes both ways for the male and the female.

Many females think it is unfair that the men do not have to cover their heads. I fail to understand why the woman keeps the man as her yardstick. 閳ユ翻he man does this so shall I閳?has been the attitude of the women for a very long time. They feel that they have to follow the man. Men and women are different in a lot of aspects and hence Islam has prescribed certain roles for each of them in society. A woman not covering herself and exposing herself is more likely to became a victim of for example a rapists as opposed to a man not covering himself becoming a victim of a female rapist. Hence women are given a different dress code while the men are given a different dress code. Following these dress codes is a requirement and is definitely a command from Allah (swt). Now it is up to us to fall victim to the hands of peer pressure, become a slave to designer labels or simply accept Allah (swt) as the Sole God and submit ourselves to Him and dress according to His prescribed ways. The choice is ours and for whichever choice which we make, we alone will be responsible for it. So choose wisely.

How is it beautiful that I can't be friends with someone over their own gender? I think it's immature and childish. I've given plenty of my male friends high fives. I'm still a virgin.

pdjh:WE are trashy? At least we don't glorify beating women and making them stay home. At least we teach independence and freedom of religion. At least we teach not to go mad over every little piece of flesh exposed. At least we say except your body for what it is and not to say everything is so gross about it. At least we don't hate pigs! At least we show compassion for rape victims and hate for rapists. Do I need to go on? I've tried to be nice and tolerant but I'm sick of us being the "Evil westerners" who don't cover ourselves up HEAD TO TOE and are free to talk to who we want! It's called FREEDOM.

That all sounds so fun. That's it, I'm converting to Islam!

Islamic mindset...Isn't this beautiful let alone logical?

That IS beautiful!

What IS NOT beautiful, is beating or maiming or killing people (women) who do not agree that covering their body from head to toe prevents lustful thoughts from men. FYI, men get turned on by pretty eyes. I know. I have two.

I'd say that it is neither logical nor beautiful. For me, it makes no sense that a god could be petty enough to carry about superficial things like clothing, hair and dietary habits. I certainly would never want my wife to wear a hijab and I would never date a woman that did.

Sister, our own modesty and humility is for the sake of pleasing God.

Lowering gaze for men is the command right above that for covering adornments for women.

We understand this, others do not.

Peace be upon you

It rather reminds me of the pirate in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon,

"KILL! all the women and children first!"

For the survival of Muslims, Islam needs to be abolished.

Good idea I already have Beekeepers outfit can I wear that instead, all day long, would that be permitted?

salaam, thats really cool that you are not ashamed of being muslim and its also a wonderful thing to explain what it means to wear the hijab. well dont forget to pray the maghrib prayer and its always good to speak to other muslims so e-mail me when ever. (omargadalla@sbcglobal.net)

It's all wonderful indeed. Good for you!

How lofty a culture!

How superior to the filthy heathen westerners that parade themselves as cheap flesh so publicly!

How revolting to God!

They must be purged from the earth by whatever means necessary!

Only then will the sale of textiles survive and guess who the leading textile suppliers of the world are?

Oh noes! The Jews!

Islamic mindset...Isn't this beautiful let alone logical?

Perhaps the best point of Islam!

I don't believe in this 'Modern Love' either, western relationships are so cheap and nasty, it is like the world has gone mad.

I feel there could be some middle ground here, not sure how, yet must Islamic women wear a full Burkar?

I once read about some girls in Saudi Arabia who died in a school building fire, because the men would not let them out of the building with their heads uncovered, surely that is going to far.

Treasure most the people on the religious spiritual page are atheist. Your Muslim faith is a great faith of a great people. It is just the atheist have to get rid of all thier anger that thier lifestyles have caused them and they want to release that on you and other christians. Thier lives and theories, no one has ever agreed with. Not Albert Einstein, Not Issac Newton. No one. Today they can'nt figure out what ape ancester to stay with. Empty guessing. and more empty guessing.

Yes it is beautiful and logical IF, AND ONLY IF, it's done voluntarily and not because of family pressure, society pressure, law, or any other reason. If you do it because you CHOOSE to do it, it's beautiful.
