Hijab: Why Do Muslim Women Hide Faces From Men? by truthman2012(m): 7:02pm On Dec 03, 2015
Why do muslim women cover their faces from head to toe?

If it is to prevent men from getting attracted to them, how were they comfort of Muhammad's eyes? It shows that despite the covering, they were still attracted to him. It means the covering didn't curb Muhammad's lust and by extension, all muslims' lust against them. Then, why the covering?

The Prophet [ Sallallahu wa
alaihi wassalam] said :"Three
things from your world have
been made beloved to me:
Women, perfume, and prayer
THE COMFORT OF MY EYES'' [Source: Ahamd Ibn Hanbal,
3:128 ]

Covering or no covering, allahh said a muslim must commit a number of adultery he has fixed for him:

Abu Aahuraira reported Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon
him) as saying: Verily Allah HAS FIXED THE VERY PORTION OF ADULTERY, which a
man will indulge in and which he
OF NECESSITY MUST COMMIT. The
adultery
of the eye is the lustful look and
the adultery of the tongue is the
licentious speech, the heart
desire
and yearns, which the parts may
or may not put into effect (Sahih
Muslim, Book 033, Number 6421
& 6422)

Do muslim women need to hide their faces from their men?

Sahih Bukhari also confirm the above hadith:


Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I did not see anything so
resembling minor sins as
what Abu Huraira said
from the Prophet, who
said, " Allah has written
for the son of Adam his
INEVITABLE SHARE OF ADULTERY WHETHER HE IS AWARE OF IT OR NOT: The
adultery of the eye is the
looking (at something
which is sinful to look
at) , and the adultery of the
tongue is to utter (what it
is unlawful to utter), and
the innerself wishes and
longs for (adultery) and
the private parts turn
that into reality or refrain
from submitting to the
temptation." (Sahih Al-
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book
77, Number 609)

It's a culture of people that live in dusty desert areas around north Africa, Arabia, Persia, Mesopotamia, Indus valley etc. Wearing of long robes, turbans, and scarf was to protect the body, hair and face against dust and other extreme weather conditions. Over the centuries as total covering became a way of life for these people it had a psychological effect on their mind (mostly the sexually active men). Not been able to see the full voluptuous body of any fully grown woman (except that of spouses) led to heightened sexual. Fantasies and imaginations which led further to uncontrollable sexual temptation. Compare to areas where people considered as primitive walk about unclad (especially ancient inland Africa). The body of a woman is not a very big deal and hence such deep fantasies and temptations are unnecessary.

Are you really silent by saying that?

Am I the fool or Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari that I quoted?

Is your abuse the refutation of the OP?

Are you actually proving right what Muhammad said that muslim women are less intelligent?

When are muslims going to be delivered from islamic falsehood?

Why did you people believe Muhammad, a man that is worse that most of you muslims in character and integrity? Why did you turn blind eyes to his many wicked and sinful acts?

Why do muslim women love allahh's punishing them by making them to live in obscurity inside black garment?

May God deliver you all in Jesus name.

Why do muslim women veil themselves? It wasnt even Allah or Mohammed's idea. It was Umar bin Al-Khattab's idea amongst other things and Allah and Mohammed agreed with him.

Sahih al-Bukhari Book 8 Hadith 395
Narrated 'Umar (bin Al-Khattab):

My Lord agreed with me in three things:
1. I said,"O Allah's Apostle, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)". (2.125)
2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5).

The funny thing is that, we've hashed all these topics before and the same questions continue to be asked and muslims cannot give answers.

If Allah can agree to Umar's suggestion (according to this hadith on 3 different occasions), it looks to me he's not all knowing and wise

Bro., did you notice a clause of the hadith you cited?

It says and I quote ''And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your wives to COVER THEMSELVES FROM THE MEN because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.

The veiling was to prevent the men from talking to Muhammad's wives, which was approved by allahh.

Muslims looked for a strategy to protect their women from other men, yet it is failing as Muhammad said no muslims could avoid the lust of the eyes as stated in the earlier hadiths I cited. They still have lust for them in spite of the veil. What need is there for the veil?

So you haven't seen muslim women wearing black garment like a masqurade?

Some of the them leave space for only the eyeballs and some total covering from head to toe.

What is the meaning of veil ?

Desperado, i can see how pained you are. You are always going to be in distress until you keep shut on things you don't know nothing about and you are obviously not nterested in knowing. You are rather interested in blasphemy

Muslim women dress closely to the way Mary mother of Jesus dresss when she walked. This is lacking in the so called dicieveples of Christ.

Lie !

Why must you lie?

Mary never wore black masquirade cloth or left space for only the eyeballs.

Couldn't you see why muslims do it in above hadith? It is to hide their faces from men and it started only at the time of Muhammad. Mary had lived and died long before Muhammad.

Its very simple, the demon that inspired their covering doesn't like showing his face. That's why the Muslim women don't Al's show their faces.

You may want to post the picture of that Mary mother of Jesus dressed like Muslim women. Okay, why are Jewish women not dressing that way now?

You all seem to be confused on what the hijab actually is. The hijab only covers the hair and neck. The niqab is the one that covers face too.

In those times, the only way a woman could be considered modest was to cover her hair, and possibly face too, it was a cultural thing. Obviously, things have changed now and women can still look very modest even with their hair visible.

In my opinion, both are a cultural garments that have creeped into religion.
