Dottie , I want to pick on your posting because majority of them like you think that Hijab is for women only…
In Islam,Hijab applies to Muslim men as much as women.
It states the requirements for a Muslim man should not wear tight, sheer, revealing, or eye-catching clothing and The moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze.
In the Glorious Qur’an, Allah (swt) mentions ‘hijab’ for men even before ‘hijab’ for the women.
“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.” [Al-Qur’an 24:30]
And you say and I quote “men are men, and will harass and abuse women no matter what clothes they are wearing” –
Exactly this is how men used to treat women right from time immemorial.Take the history, read the ancient civilizations(Babylonian civilization, Greek civilization, Roman civilization, Egyptian civilization, Pre-Islamic Arabia)and you would learn that undoubtedly in each of these eras, women were degraded and used as objects of lust to the extent that they were denied basic human dignity and also very often when a female was born she was buried alive.
Islam uplifted the status of women and granted them their just rights 1400 years ago.
Western talk of women’s liberalization is nothing but a disguised form of exploitation of her body, degradation of her soul, and deprivation of her honour. Take the statistics of rape cases between say USA and compare it with Saudi Arabia and you will realize.
Undoubtedly Hijab does not degrade a woman but uplifts a woman and protects her modesty and chastity.
