The Proper Hijab of Muslimah

Hijab for muslimah is a must. It’s an obligation.

I remember me 8 years ago, when I was in 1^st grade of senior high school. It was my 1^st time wearing hijab. Alhamdulillah, Alloh Gave me “hidayah” after I studied Islam based Al-Qur’an and Sunnah as understood of salafus shalih. Hijab is modesty, purity, shield, taqwa, eeman (belief or faith), haya’ (bashfulness) for muslimah. Subhanalloh, Islam is beatiful. Islam protects the woman. Alloh Asks muslimah to protect ourself with hijab:

Please read Al-Ahzab : 59

"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful."

And also read An-Nur : 31

"And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands athers, their sons, their husbands sons, their brothers or their brothers sons, or their sisters sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their

adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful."

There are some conditions of hijab (based on Syaikh Muhammad Nashiruddin Al-Albani):

1.     Covering all Of The Body

2.    The hijab must not be a display

3.    The hijab must not be transparent

4.    Hijab must be roomy, and not tight.

5.    The hijab must not be perfumed

6.    The hijab shouldn't resemble the dress of a man

7.    The hijab must not resemble the garments of the kuffar

8.    The hijab should not be for fame

9.    Concealed ways of display

Here is the picture of the hijab based on the condition above:

Based on the condition above, I always try to do better and better. It needs process to wear a perfect hijab. May Alloh Guide me to be a “mar’atus sholihah”. Amin…
