What does the Quran say about Hijab? I am not interested in what’s written in Bukhari Ahadith. So far I only know three verses in Quran that address Hijab and they are not very clear (7:26, 24:31, 33:59).
No where does it specifically ask women to cover their head (hair) so why do most Islamic “scholars” continue to refer to these verses to convince other muslims that it is an obligation. It seems like a cultural obligation more than anything, no?
P.S. It is about modesty and protection, so wear a Jilbab or loose fitting clothes. Why do scholars insist women need to cover their “hair” in order to have complete Hijab? It doesn’t make sense. Most muslim girls I know only remember to cover their hair and the rest is covered with the latest fashion trends.
I don't actually believe in hijaab either. It's about purda of your heart, not your damn hair. Covering your hair doesn't make you a better muslim. Dress modestly yes, but covering your hair... no.

relax... no need to swear... im sure you read ahadith and believe in them (unlike the OP, who's not even muslim) , so take some time to read the hadiths. the ulema don't just come up with such things.

Sorry.... don't really think of that word as a swear word (obv it is though) sorry! :)

here we go again, according to one of the haadith's "if a person recite Qalma, then do the biggest of the sin still he is muslim and will go to heaven" .>
so watch out.. just like some of your brothers are killing.. some of you are just labeling every other with non-muslim status..? latest fatwa from Mullah Umar, your divine guardians descended directly from heaven to kill the innocent people?
Here is what the Quran says about the Hijab. Although, I’m sure the hadithists will argue the verses are taken out of context or some other attempt to abrogate the Word of GOD (Quran) to suit their innovations.
^Thanks. It makes sense. Even I never came across the word "Hijab" in Quran. I don't know what makes Hijab different from keeping a beard. Now this brings me to another question: Did Muhammad pbuh ever ask women to cover their hair specifically? I heard back in that time, the headcover was a symbol for higher social status and had nothing to do with modesty. Correct me if I am wrong
The word Hijab is not Qur’anic but rather it comes from hadith. Hijab does not mean face veil or head scarf. These have their own names niqaab and khimar are the terms. The literal words used in Qur’an in Surah 24:31 and translated are:
Wal-yadribna bi khumuri hinna 'ala juyubihinna
And they should draw their khimars over their breasts
Hijab comes from the 3rd person past tense singular masculine root word Hajaba which means “he prevented”
so hijab means “he/it veiled/covered/protected him/it”
incidentally Haajib is the word for door keeper or chamberlain also sharing the same root.
And continued here … read the left column …
In this passage is a sentence in Arabic;
Al-ma’siyatu Hijabun baynal 'abdi wa baynal rabihi - meaning ~
Disobedience is a bar between a servant and his Lord
From here it is evident that Hijab is more than a physical thing it includes intangible or allegorical forms of the word to prevent and such that is a barrier between.
Khimar again is very much a covering. It is a muffler or head scarf but linguistically it is something that covers over. It can be applied again to the intangible.
Khimar comes from the same root as the word for alcohol in Arabic which is khamr - khamr covers over the intellect and subdues the senses likewise a khimar covers over the item that it is laid over.
Read again the left hand column.
The normal use for the khimar is over the head, drawing the ends of it over the bosoms is the normal way that the verse is translated.
Some people go to the extent of face cover. To work out the finer details one must resort to hadith.
As far as verbally say the ‘hair’ must be covered I can’t say I have knowledge of it, but what I have read is that one of his companions said that Muhammad (SAW) showed with his fingers the outline of the external ‘hijab’ boundary for women. The face and hands were not included in it.
There you have it…It IS NOT from the Quran. It is from ‘other’ sources besides GOD. Here is what the Quran says.
[Quran 45:6 - 8] These are GOD’s revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than GOD and His revelations do they believe? Woe to every fabricator, guilty. **The one ****who hears **GOD’s revelations recited to him, **THEN **insists arrogantly on his way, as if he never heard them. Promise him a painful retribution.
[Quran 7:185] Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things GOD has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? **Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in? **
[Quran 6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?* Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt. ](Chapter 6, Livestock (Al-An ‘ãm) Footnotes)
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete,* in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. ](Chapter 6, Livestock (Al-An ‘ãm) Footnotes)
[6:116] If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of GOD. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.
^submitj you contradict yourself, your little cult have so many contradictions it's unbelievable.
just one example:
Surah Al-Waqia verse 81:
Yusuf Ali: Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
and your cult leader's translation:
Are you disregarding this narration?
Why has he left out the word 'Hadith' from this verse, why did he use "narration" instead of using hadith? He has 'Hadith' place of so many other verses like you've pasted.
another example:
YUSUFALI: Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe?
your cult:
Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things GOD has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in?
why did he use "hadith" here?
see what I mean? Why not use the word HADITH in all of your translations, not just WHERE you think it's best? What a joke.

STOP trying to fool people.
Nice try... what is the arabic word used in those verses??......it is HADITH! GOD knew the corrupted muslims would call their fabrications 'Hadith & Sunnah'. You just do not like the fact that the word is, in fact, 'HADITH'. Perhaps you should have chosen another name for your 'other' sources of religious guidance.
o wise one please tell me what the definition of the ARABIC word hadith?
the same place HADITH is used in arabic, why do you guys not use HADITH in those places? why the need to replace it as narration? see you how you deceive!
All this confusion arises when we start interpreting Quran out of context, without considering related ahadees-e-mubarika, with our limited knowledge, vested interests and simply deny Ahadees-e-muarika and Sunnah…
There is a whole lot of munkareen-e-hadees active these days like before, and the number is increasing… Ulema-e-Karam have done a great job giving answers to all their false propaganda and have always been helping us stay on the right path…
one such work is here Sunnat Ka Maqam or Fitna Inkar-e Hadith, i’m sure reading this small booklet, will clear up all doubts, if one really wants to… and once your doubts on ahadees and sunnah are gone, you will have no problem understand why Hijaab (and other similar concepts for that matter) is given this much importance, which is truly justified and natural
OK so then it's obvious that Muslim women are NOT obliged to cover their hair (so called Hijab). Allah is asking women to have shame and basically be modest. There's no mention of covering hair or such in the Quran, so who turned this into an obligation?
So how's taking hijab different than keeping beard? Shouldn't they both be Sunnah since neither is mentioned in Quran?
So how's taking hijab different than keeping beard? Shouldn't they both be Sunnah since neither is mentioned in Quran?
The only time men are told not to cut their hair in the Quran is during the Hajj Pilgrimage, and that is it. Those who claim it is required in order to be a muslim are fabricating lies and attributing them to GOD. A practice strongly condemned in the Quran. Of course, those who uphold the lies think otherwise.
