Reasons For Wearing The Hijab

[khadeeja]

assalaam wa 'alaikum,


sorry about my late contribution...i apologize again.so far i LOVE all the posts that were sent by our sisters concerning this very important issue..'the reasons for wearing the hijaab'.i have been wearing the hijaab since i was a baby, and i must thank my parents sincerely for bringing me up in wearing the hijaab at all times.i LOVE wearing it and it really does display one's chastity.i get a feeling of safety and joy when i wear the hijaab.there are some women i know who really don't llike wearing it, just because sometimes it creates a humid atmosphere,but as one of you have said, i rather bear the heat of this world than that of the hereafter.in my community and among the members of my family, i try to inform them of the importance and rewards of wearing the beautiful hijaab and hope that insha allaah my effort would be successful only for the sake of allaah and our religion.


i do have some concerns though concerning the niqaab.i really love seeing women wearing it.i would like to know if it is mandatory on the part of muslim women to wear it .this is bothering me for some time now and i hope that insha allaah someone would kindly enlighten me about it.i would greatly appreciate it..jazakallaah khair..


wassalaam , your dearest sister,


khadeeja!
