1 Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It's a way of life.
HIJAAB Hijab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It's a way of life.

2 Allah says: “And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings to cover their bosoms, and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk...” Surat-un-Nur: 31

3 Lower your gaze…

4 Some sisters say: “Well, my head is covered. What more do you want?”

5 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"In later (generations) of my ummah there will be women who will be dressed but naked. On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps. They will not enter into paradise or (even) get a smell of it." (Muslim)

6 Dressed but naked On top of their heads (what looks) like camel humps.

7 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) once received a garment as a gift. He gave it to Osamah b. Zayd, who in turn gave it to his wife. When asked by the Prophet why he did not wear it, Osamah indicated that he gave it to his wife. The Prophet then said to Osamah “ask her to use a ‘gholalah’ under it (the garment) for I fear that it (the garment) may describe the size of her bones.” (Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) (The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body).

8 If it is see-through it’s NOT Hijaab!!
Translucent Transparent

9 Fashion The Hijaab shouldn’t attract attention. The dress should not be such that it attracts men's attention to the woman's beauty. Allaah clearly states: “not to display their beauty.”

10 What about make-up & perfume?
Wearing make up is also part of the beauty Allaah orders us NOT to display. So if your head and body are appropriately covered yet you are wearing bright lipstick or eyeliner ….uh sorry, that’s not Hijaab, unless you are wearing a face cover. And keep those nice fragrances for the home, between you and your husband. That’s part of Hijaab too, even if you are going to the Masjid.

11 Making Noise Allah says:
…“not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments.” Surah An-Nur: 31

12 Tinkling Jewelry Jingling bracelets

13 Making Noise ‘Loud’ and tinkling anything, be it jewelry, bracelets, clip-clopping shoes, little bells on clothes, you name it, if it jingles or makes noise, it is against the principles of Hijaab, because it attracts attention to the one wearing it. That is what is meant when Allaah orders us in the above verse…

14 Going Out without a Need
Allaah tells us: “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…” [al-Ahzaab:32]

15 Free-mixing & Socializing with non-Mahrams
No laughing, joking, or hanging out with non-Mahrams Some sisters assume that since they are properly covered, its okay for them to sit around and talk, laugh, joke, etc. with the men, but that’s not right…

16 ‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either
‘Chatting’ on the internet/phone is not part of Hijaab, either. There is no such thing as “we’re just friends”. Talking to non-Mahrams is wrong even if it is through the internet or telephone. Allaah condemns such sort of things .

17 Speech Allaah says: “…then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.” [al-Ahzaab:32]

18 Lower Your Gaze Staring at the brothers or ‘checking them out’ is NOT Hijaab Allaah orders us to “lower your gaze” in the above verse. So, even if you are properly covered, guard your sight, conduct yourself with ‘Hayaa’, and avoid ‘fitnah’.

19 Walking Be careful, even in the way you walk
Remember, you are not a runway model displaying the latest fashion. Walk with modesty and you will be respected

20 Two Types of Women of Hell
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “There are two types of the people of Hell that I have not seen yet….women who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait…” (Muslim)

21 Physical Contact It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-Mahram. And no, it is not rude to refuse to shake hands with non-Muslims. Simply politely explain that its part of your religion and they are very understanding.

22 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
Physical Contact The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” (at-Tabaraani saheeh by al-Albaani)

23 Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. It’s part of Hijaab
Physical Contact Don’t shake hands with non-Mahrams. It’s part of Hijaab

24 Conceal Your Sister Hijaab is also to conceal your sister. Although some sisters wear the Hijaab themselves, they forget that they cannot talk about another sister and her beauty in front of their own husbands, brothers, etc. Remember, part of your Hijaab is to cover your sisters ‘awrah’ as well.

25 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
Conceal Your Sister The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “No woman should mix with a woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.”  (Muslim)

26 Conclusion Clothes part of the Hijaab is not a scarf on the head, it is covering the whole body. Hijab is not clothes only, it is a concept that involves clothes, speech, and personal actions. Most of these rules of hijab apply to men also, not just women. They must also wear clothes that are not transparent/translucent, or tight. They must also avoid physical contact and free mixing with women. And they must also lower their gaze.
