Espousing the Head-Covering but Never Mentioning the
"Jilbab"

To move on to the subject of the head-covering, a woman can
say, "The head-covering appears in the Qur'an and I see it in verse 59
of Surat al-Ahzab," and wear one if she wishes. By doing this, she
prefers the head-covering to a full covering and interprets covering
up in that sense. Yet someone who says, "The head-covering appears

in the Qur'an and I see it in verse 31 of Surat al-Nur," is not telling
the truth. This is a danger, because our Lord refers to those

The reference to wearing "jilbab" in
verse 59 of Surat al-Ahzab is entirely
at the discretion of the Muslim woman.
Since women feel safe in democratic
and civilized societies, they do not
generally feel the need to wear the jil-
bab and cover up entirely. Some
women, however, may not feel at ease
even in such communities and may
prefer to cover up entirely. The impor-
tant thing is to prevent a woman from
being misunderstood or harassed be-
cause of the way she dresses.
