                 The language used in the Qur'an is most pure and perfect.
             The words are used with great care, they are delicate and this can be
             immediately understood when examined in detail. The private parts
             are described in accordance with the delicacy and literary artistry of
             the Qur'an, and are described as adornments.

                 One of the main pretexts raised by some commentators in order
             to produce their interpretation of the headscarf in verse 31 of Surat

             an-Nur is various fabricated hadiths. These false hadiths so deeply
             and blatantly contradict the verse that it can be very easily seen with
             a clear analysis. Let us now examine how the false hadiths in ques-
             tion conflict with the Qur'an, how they mislead the community of
             Islam on the subject of the head-covering and the feeble logic they
             contain:


















             Some people who translate the Qur'an
             from a traditional conception of Islam
             tend to produce changes in meaning,
             either through the use of parentheses
             or by directly changing the meaning of
             the text itself. Although verse 31 of
             Surat an-Nur says nothing about a
             head-covering, these people have not
             hesitated to refer to the headscarf ei-
             ther in parenthesis or directly in the
             text. Yet once this interpretation is
             done away with, the verse clearly
             refers to covering up the chest.
