Of recent, Hijab wearing in schools , has been generating a lot of heat.
In these world, we must not just believe what we are born into, we must find the truth ourselves.
Most Muslim said it is a command from God, so I did my research on it. At the end, I saw that Hijab is even used before Islam.Its a culture that saudi Arabia borrow from Syria and Iran , and everywhere Hijab is mentioned in the Qur'an it means Curtain, Partition, separation, Hide and Wall...Khimar in the Qur'an, is the related word to our today meaning of Hijab.

Allah only commanded us to be modest- and to cover our body, our shame, and our beauty..

The 3 main Quran verses people use for hijab are :

"O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)

“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 ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59).

As we can see from the above, No where in all these Qur'an verses, Hair, Head or face covering is specifically mentioned.
Interestingly, if we must follow any of these verses, we must cover all our body, cos all has beauty , not only the hair as is common here.

So in conclusion, Saudi used their cloth culture to obey what Allah said, and it doesn't mean we must use their culture too..The main thing is cover your body and be modest..
Remember God didn't create Textile/cloth, we human create it. So it shouldn't create war in Nigeria..
Remember your religion is as a result of your geographical location, no one is Superior, God created all of us, and He loves us all...PEACE

Very useful. Allah bless you

So many things we humans, borrow into religion.. Just like the war christian close their eyes to pray, and use cross symbol,..its not in the bible, just human Creation

Praying to God requires unflinching focus. Closing of eyes is the most practical way to avoid distraction from external stimulus while praying.

So if you are being chased and you want to pray to God for an escape route you will close your eyes?

HedwigesMaduro:


So if you are being chased and you want to pray to God for an escape route you will close your eyes?

When you are being chased...what you need to keep doing is to run unless you are a fool. There is a time for everything...or so you open your eyes when you are sleeping?

Moreover since the aim of closing eyes during prayer is to focus, and avoid disthtraction, the danger of being chased is enoughfor you to focus on prayer while running

Nothing practical about closing your eyes when in public company. Those who do in fact train themselves to doing it hence revealing that it is instead a learned behaviour. And since no where in scripture did God(nor Jesus Christ) command any of His own to engage in such behaviour even for the reason you claim, the habit is just as meaningless as any other doctrine and rules/cultures of men as far as the belief is concerned.

So you should not pray at all when you are being chased?

You should always wait till when you are able to shut your eyes before you pray or consult God?

You just want to be mischievous.

You are the one being 'mischevious' , if anything.

Okay...a lot of things are not worth arguing over. You can do as you please.

You are right .
For the Muslim women , wearing of hijab was suggested by Umar .
Wearing it was man made . It has nothing to do with God .

THIS IS ITS ORIGIN B4 MUHAMMAD CLAIMED ALLAH REVEALED IT TO HIM :

Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ، خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَزْوَاجَ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ بِاللَّيْلِ إِذَا تَبَرَّزْنَ إِلَى الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهُوَ صَعِيدٌ أَفْيَحُ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم احْجُبْ نِسَاءَكَ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُ فَخَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي عِشَاءً وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً فَنَادَاهَا عُمَرُ أَلاَ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاكِ يَا سَوْدَةُ ‏.‏ حِرْصًا عَلَى أَنْ يُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابَ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحِجَابَ ‏.‏

A'isha reported that the wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to go out in the cover of night when they went to open fields (in the outskirts of Medina) for easing themselves. 'Umar b Khattab used to say:

Allah's Messenger, ask your ladies to observe veil, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do that. So there went out Sauda, daughter of Zarn'a, the wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), during one of the nights when it was dark. She was a tall statured lady. 'Umar called her saying: Sauda, we recognise you. (He did this with the hope that the verses pertaining to veil would be revealed.) 'A'isha said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, then revealed the verses pertaining to veil.

Sahih Muslim 2170 d
In-book : Book 39, Hadith 25
USC-MSA web (English) : Book 26, Hadith 5397  (deprecated)
Sahih Muslim

Muslims are just following a religion set up by Muhammad for his personal gain and evil ambitions .

I once asked a cleric who said the hijab is part of what Christians should take seriously where this could be found in the Bible, ironically he quoted 1Corinthians 11!
Of course Paul surely said something about the covering of the head for women but what baffles me is the fact that this same cleric has always condemned Paul's letters due to what the Apostle wrote in one of his letters which stood as a stumbling block for any one who wants to consider Islam. Paul wrote "if anyone should PREACH any other thing to you apart from what you've heard from us, let such a person be ACCURSED" {Galatians 1:8} here Paul ruled out Islam completely because the Religion came much later and it teaches that Jesus is not the son of God which is the fundamental doctrine of Christianity!
So i asked the cleric to cite somewhere else where the Bible mention anything closer in meaning to the hijab but there was none. That's why i concluded the hijab is just a form of dressing in some part of the earth not a rite!

So you can't run and pray to God for strength to outrun your chaser? What form of "Christians" are being bred in this country?! So I open my eyes while sleeping? Are you for real? So since I close my eyes while sleeping, then I should close my eyes while praying, right? Which means since I keep my mouth shut while sleeping, I should also shut my mouth while praying? Is that how you reason, or you're just trying to be funny. For the sake of everything sane, I hope not. The reason why you close your eyes while praying is to focus? So you close your eyes while reading the Bible too? Or you're telling me you're not focused while reading the Bible. By the way, how do you close your ears while praying? Cos the last time I checked one can be distracted by sound too.
