Hijab In The Eye of Quran & Masomeen(a.s)
Surah Al-Ahzaab (33), Verse #59
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًاO
O Prophet! Say to your wives, your daughters and the women of believers that (while going out) they should draw their
veils as coverings over them. It is more likely that this way they may be recognized (as pious, free women) and may not be hurt (considered by mistake as roving slave girls). And Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.
اے نبی! اپنی بیویوں اور اپنی صاحبزادیوں اور مسلمانوں کی عورتوں سے فرما دیں کہ (باہر نکلتے وقت) اپنی چادریں اپنے اوپر اوڑھ لیا کریں، یہ اس بات کے قریب تر ہے کہ وہ پہچان لی جائیں (کہ یہ پاک دامن آزاد عورتیں ہیں) پھر انہیں (آوارہ باندیاں سمجھ کر غلطی سے) ایذاء نہ دی جائے، اور اللہ بڑا بخشنے والا بڑا رحم فرمانے والا ہے

Surah An-Nur (24), Verses #30 and #31
30. قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَO
31. وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُوْلِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَO
30. Direct the believing men to keep their eyes always lowered and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is Well Aware of the (works) which they are busy doing.
31. And direct the believing women that they (too) must keep their eyes lowered and guard their chastity, and must not show off their adornments and beautification except that (part of it) which becomes visible itself. And they must keep their veils (and head-coverings) drawn over their chests and breasts (too), and must not display their adornments (to anyone) except their husbands, or their fathers or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers or the sons of their brothers or the sons of their sisters, or (the women of) their (own faith, the Muslim) women or their female slaves or such male servants as are free from any lust and sexual urge, or the children who (being minor) have (yet) no sense of women’s private parts. (They too are exceptions.) Nor must they (while walking) strike their feet (on the ground in such a manner that ornaments jingle and) thus get revealed and known which they are keeping hidden (under the command of Shari‘a). And turn to Allah all of you in repentance, O believers, so that you may prosper (by implementing these Commandments).
آپ مومن مَردوں سے فرما دیں کہ وہ اپنی نگاہیں نیچی رکھا کریں اور اپنی شرم گاہوں کی حفاظت کیا کریں، یہ ان کے لئے بڑی پاکیزہ بات ہے۔ بیشک اللہ ان کاموں سے خوب آگاہ ہے جو یہ انجام دے رہے ہیںo
اور آپ مومن عورتوں سے فرما دیں کہ وہ (بھی) اپنی نگاہیں نیچی رکھا کریں اور اپنی شرم گاہوں کی حفاظت کیا کریں اور اپنی آرائش و زیبائش کو ظاہر نہ کیا کریں سوائے (اسی حصہ) کے جو اس میں سے خود ظاہر ہوتا ہے اور وہ اپنے سروں پر اوڑھے ہوئے دوپٹے (اور چادریں) اپنے گریبانوں اور سینوں پر (بھی) ڈالے رہا کریں اور وہ اپنے بناؤ سنگھار کو (کسی پر) ظاہر نہ کیا کریں سوائے اپنے شوہروں کے یا اپنے باپ دادا یا اپنے شوہروں کے باپ دادا کے یا اپنے بیٹوں یا اپنے شوہروں کے بیٹوں کے یا اپنے بھائیوں یا اپنے بھتیجوں یا اپنے بھانجوں کے یا اپنی (ہم مذہب، مسلمان) عورتوں یا اپنی مملوکہ باندیوں کے یا مردوں میں سے وہ خدمت گار جو خواہش و شہوت سے خالی ہوں یا وہ بچے جو (کم سِنی کے باعث ابھی) عورتوں کی پردہ والی چیزوں سے آگاہ نہیں ہوئے (یہ بھی مستثنٰی ہیں) اور نہ (چلتے ہوئے) اپنے پاؤں (زمین پر اس طرح) مارا کریں کہ (پیروں کی جھنکار سے) ان کا وہ سنگھار معلوم ہو جائے جسے وہ (حکمِ شریعت سے) پوشیدہ کئے ہوئے ہیں، اور تم سب کے سب اللہ کے حضور توبہ کرو اے مومنو! تاکہ تم (ان احکام پر عمل پیرا ہو کر) فلاح پا جاؤo

The Point / Purpose of this page is NOT to say if a woman doesn't wear niqaab she will go to Jahunum, as we know there are two valid view points on the hijab. One view held by the Ullima is that the niqaab (covering the face) is wajib (compulsory) and other Ullima hold the view it is Mustahab (recommended and the best thing to do but not compulsory). This page is to explain to those people who say things like "The niqaab is not in islam or is not important" or is "bad for dawa" these people should understand that the Niqaab is from the Quraan and Hadith and Ahle Bait E Athaar (a.s) and even if you hold the view of it not being wajib it is still THE BEST thing and recommended and anyone who wears it is to be respected. And is anyone discourages the wearing of Niqaab or denies it being in Islam or makes fun of someone who wears it they should fear ALLAH and take their shahadah over. And ALLAH (swt) knows best.

V.I.S.I.O.N
What is Hijab (Parda) really mean? And What Is Islamic Hijab (Parda) For Women? The Islamic Hijab is for the women to cover everything is forbidden for her to expose. That is, she cover everything that she must cover. The first of those bodily parts that she must cover is her face. It is the source of temptation and the source of people desiring her. Therefore, the woman must cover her face in front of those men that are not mahram. As for those of who claim that the Islamic hijab is to cover the head, shoulders, back, feet, shin
and forearms while allowing her to uncover her face and hands, this is very amazing claim. This is because it is well known that the source of temptation and looking is the face. How can one say that the Shariah does not allow the exposure of the foot of the women while
it allows her to uncover her face? It is not possible that there could be in the the Esteemed, Wise
and Noble Shariah a contradiction. "The root word of hijab is hajaba and that means: (hajb) to veil, cover, screen, shelter, seclude (from),
to hide, obscure (from sight), to make imperceptible, invisible, to conceal, to make or form a separation
(a woman), to disguise, masked, to conceal, hide, to flee from sight, veil, to veil, conceal, to cover up,
become hidden, to be obscured, to vanish, to become invisible, disappear from sight, to veil, to conceal,
to withdraw, to elude perception. "
Hajb: seclusion, screening off, keeping away, keeping off,
Hijab plural: hujub: cover, wrap, drape, a curtain, a woman's veil, screen, partition, folding screen,
barrier,
Ihtijab: Concealment, hiddenness, seclusion, veildness, veiling, pardah. Hijab: Concealing, screening, protecting,
Mahjub: concealed hidden, veiled! These definitions of the hijab were taken from the: Arabic-English Dictionary,
The Hans Wehr dictionary of modern written arabic, edited by JM Cowan.

It was allowed to show the hands and face when Surah Nur ayah #31 was revealed but after Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse #59 with the word "Jalabib" was revealed then after this Ulema said That the Muslim women are ordered to cover their head and faces with outer garments except for eyes. In Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 59, Allah has ordered the believing women to wear a jilbab. A jilbab as defined in all the books of tafseer is a cloak that covers the woman's body from the
top of her head to her feet. It is also described in those books, form the scholars of the earliest
generation that after that verse was revealed, the women would completely cover themselves,
leaving, for example, just eyes exposed so they can see the road. Hence, this is the outer garment
of the woman that she must wear when she is in front of men she is not related to. "In the Arabic language of the Prophet, Jalbab is the outer sheet which covers the entire body. A piece of cloth which is too small to cover the entire body could not be called Jalbab." Jilbab should be wrapped and
fixed from above the forehead and made to cover the nose, (although the eyes are to show)
and the chest and most of the face are to be covered. Jalabib, which is used in the verse is the plural of Jalbab. "Jalbab, is actually the outer
sheet or coverlet which a woman wraps around on top of her garments to cover herself from head to toe. It hides her body completely." Lisan ul Arab vol 1 p. 273. (The best explanation is that it is what we would today call a burqa or an abiya.)

“A person who considers carefully the wordings of the Quranic verses, their well-known
and genreally accepted meaning and the practice during the time of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W)
cannot dare deny the fact that the islamic Shari'ah enjoins on the woman to hide her face from the
other people and this has been the practice of the Muslim women ever since the time of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W) himself”
Hijab (Parda) is not just a mode of dressing. It is a religious duty that Allah (swt) has enjoined to the
believing women for their own protection and success. It is a manifestation of woman's
adherence to the Quraan and Sunnah. It indicates her obidence to Allah (swt), Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w.w)
and Ahle Bait (a.s). It is a sign of her strength that would safeguard her dignity and honour against
wickednessof some men. Knowing this ITS UP TO YOU which path to take. May Allah (swt) give us all
hidaya and protect us against our own nafs...
