Why do people insist on Hijab?

Salam Alekom. The Hijab was not listed in the Quran, God commanded woman to cover their bosoms. I didn't know some people had bosoms on their head. A piece of cloth on their head followed by the most taunting close is not in any way religious. They say the Hijab halts men's desires, however, it's quite the contrary! The more woman hide themselves the more men's desires roar hence eventually leading to harassment, rape, etc...

If you are going to try to tell me it fard, please don't cite hadith. I follow the Quran and Sunnah fi3liya only. Please look at this, short but full of meaning.

    I'm a Muslim and I agree. To start with a man should control his desires.

    Second, some people tend to think a hijab makes you're a better Muslim then people who don't wear a hijab. I see tons of girls wearing hijabs, yet wearing make up, tight clothes, swearing, eating non-halal meat and openly flirting with guys. I don't think that's being a good Muslim.

  • I fully agree with you. I don't wear it nor does anyone in my immediate family. Only when praying are we supposed to cover our hair other than this it's not a must to cover the hair. The whole hijab thing comes from Saudi Arabia. Poor people going to Saudi and coming back with lots and lots of money brought along with them the Saudi way of life.

    I knew that. Unfortunately Arab culture is wrongly associated with Islam.

    The word Khimar used in Qur'an means head veil in Arabic. What's your problem with hijab may I ask? personally I can't imagine my mother or sister going out with their hair exposed.

    i agree ! i dont wear it and i find it degreading in a way, nowadays islam is more about labeling yourself, rather then actually believing it !

    It's more of a pre-Islamic Arabia cultural thing.

    Culture spreads.

    People don't insist on hijab.

    Muslims do that.

    Don't get those two things mixed up.
