HIJAB: LEAD ME TO ISLAM!!! Most Muslim women today are rediscovering the pristine Islam as revealed by Allah Almighty, (God), to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh1), more than 1,400 years ago, but without any of the contradictions of ancestral culture. Consequently they are essentially engaging in a life-long exercise of rediscovering their own selves what it means to be a human, a Muslim, and more so, a Muslim woman. Wearing a head-covering (hijab) is an important part of their spiritual journey. One of the most common questions today, asked by Muslims and non-Muslims alike, is: Why do Muslim women cover their heads? The answer is very simple - Muslim women observe hijab because Allah has told them to do so: O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed... (Quran 33:59). Muslims believe that their sole purpose in life is the worship of God alone, according to His instructions, as revealed in the Holy Quran, and through the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). As such, wearing the hijab is an act of obedience to God and, hence, forms the primary basis for wearing it.
