believed in the Book of God strongly and firmly. When the
verse of the Surah Light they should draw their veils over

ing the actual command in the verse, covering up their breasts, in

other words.
• According to the description here, women tore pieces from

their skirts, but instead of covering their breasts, as commanded in
