I came across this and thought-it nice to share. The word hijab comes from the Arabic for veil and is used to describe the headscarves worn by Muslim women. These scarves come in a myriad of styles and colours. The type most commonly worn in the West is a square scarf that covers the head and neck but leaves the face clear. 4 Likes

The al-amira is a two-piece veil. It consists of a close fitting cap, usually made from cotton or polyester, and an accompanying tube-like scarf. The shayla is a long, rectangular scarf popular in the Gulf region. It is wrapped around the head and tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders. 1 Like

The khimar is a long, cape-like veil that hangs down to just above the waist. It covers the hair, neck and shoulders completely, but leaves the face clear. The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath 1 Like

The niqab is a veil for the face that leaves the area around the eyes clear. However, it may be worn with a separate eye veil. It is worn with an accompanying headscarf. The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It covers the entire face and body, leaving just a mesh screen to see through. 2 Likes 1 Share

Sourced from http://twentytwowords.com/2011/06/06/not-all-headscarves-are-burkas-7-types-of-muslim-headwear-for-women/ which got it from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8641070.stm . Are there more styles? I know there are but I don't have illustrations or know what ye women call them. |

This is quite informative, nice thread. I never knew there was a distinction between the hijab and the shayla. How does one tie the hijab? I gather that part of the reason for wearing these uniforms are to preserve modesty and not stir lustful attraction however with the exception of the burka are not the eyes also an appealing feature that can draw another’s attention? |

This is a female thread:: Hope the ladies would join soon.... there are so many styles out there... It differs from country to country usually. I don't know if there is distinctive Nigerian style yet though. @emofine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dry6R4Xtl_k Your eyes are not immediately apparent to anyone.. |

Hijab/Niqab shows d dignity of a woman. no man should see your natural beauty without dowry. whatever is covered is what the eyez want to see. but whatever is open, everybody is satisfied of it n doesnt care about it. |
