Reasons For Wearing The Hijab

[SisterJennifer]

Asalaamu alikum sister,


Actually Im not surprised by the conversation you overheard, and I can see your reason for concern. Of course you will find people thinking all different things, but in the end ultimately its a decision that should come from your heart. Some women have very beautiful eyes, and I have heard from some sisters here coming from overseas that there are some niqabi women 'back home' who paint there eyes in very inticing ways which of course totally defeats the purpose.


Just as some hijab sisters have very beautiful faces, some niqabi sister have beautiful eyes. But as Umm said lets not forget that the command to lower the gaze was also given to the women, as well as putting force into our voices when speaking with the brothers, all of these, and the fact that we limit our conversation with them I think can serve as a help to those brothers who have a more difficult time, as well as a protection for our ownselves.


And as far as the beathing goes, alhumdulilah I have found its not even a concern. They make these things out of the right material and insha Allah you should have no troubles with that.


I found this one to be quite conveniant and really easy to wear, it pops right over your hijab and also gives the option of the eyes screen. I dont know if I'd try driving with it down though!
