Presentation transcript:

 For many Muslim women, the hijab is a source of identity Strangers know who these women are before they even meet  It shows pride in their faith.

“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 thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, or small children; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss” 24:31

 Many Muslims point to the Quran calling for both men and women to dress and behave modestly. For many Muslims modest dress for women means wearing the hijab  Quran is open to interpretation, which is why some Muslims do not believe that wearing the hijab is mandatory

 A symbol of piety, modesty, and religious obedience  Some Muslim women believe that it helps them stay away from anything that would inhibit their faith Drinking, drugs, acting immodestly  Many feel that it brings them closer to God

 Many Muslim women feel that the Hijab leads to more respect- from both themselves and other people  It forces people to get to know them as a person and focus on their character and intelligence, rather than beauty.

 Women who wear the hijab often say they feel free from the obsession with beauty and image that is so common in the West.  Wearing a hijab, especially in western countries, requires a lot of confidence Non-Muslims often do not understand and react in negative ways  Many Muslims believe that wearing the hijab frees women to focus on inner spiritual beauty rather than external beauty.
