Be a Hijabi Lady by Wearing Pakistani Hijab

The term  Pakistani hijab refers to a variety of traditional headscarves worn by many Muslim women. Also called a veil, headscarf, or covering, it is endeavor  to promote modesty and avoid calling attention to a woman’s body. There is no specific Pakistani hijab; instead, different styles are available not only throughout Pakistan but also in many areas around the world.

Many different fabrics can be used to make a  Pakistani  hijab, depending on  local customs, occasion, weather, and personal preference. Personal preference  usually decides color and style of hijab that varies from person to person. Most Muslim women avoid bright colors and patterns as bright colors are source of  attraction to men. Blue or black color hijaab are the most common one seen in  Pakistani society.

 

Female members of Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islamic Islamic party have demanded that the hijab be made imperative. The nation was urged to observe international hijab day on sept 4 by the leader of Jamaat-e Islam. It is normally considered that the type of dress determines the amount of  respect a woman should be given. So in order to make Pakistani women more respectable in men’s eye Jamaat-e-Islamic (JI) has demanded that the hijab be made compulsory in the constitution of Pakistan

In Pakistan, hijab is worn for the following basic reasons:
• Insecurity at the hands of men
• Identity crises
• To increase modesty
• Compulsion from male members ( husbands, fathers or brothers etc)

What I think is the Hijab should be pride and egotism of any women and not a  mark of compulsion. As compulsions makes path to many unspecific things.

In our Pakistani society, elders tells that if a girls is not in hijab than they attract  and compel male to have sexual relation with them, but the sad part is that they do not tell their young boys or men to respect women and avoid illegal actions against them. In Pakistan It is usually the preying eye of men rather than religion  that has forced women to wear the Hijab. But wearing a piece of cloth shall neither change the men’s attitude nor protect  women.

It is really a bitter and dejected truth that As far as Hijab is concerned, you see, even prostitutes in Pakistan observe it. But this thing should be kept in mind  that its practice what makes one different, not what one wears. There are many other ladies who wear hijab and have flaw-less character. So we can bring down  curtain by saying that purpose of wearing hijab should be clear and reputable in  mind. Be a hijabi lady and not a hijabi hooker.

Idea Behind Hijab Scarf

In Islam there is a very old tradition of covering your head in such a way that not even a single glance of your hair should be porn to the other people for women. It is a very strict ritual and is followed by all the Islamic girls and women of all Islamic countries. This can be conceded that the Islam uniforms the females by this idea of covering your head with the help of a hijab scarf. Women all around the Middle East, Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt and Turkey strictly follow this obligation. This hijab scarf is the national dress for women in Saudi Arabia. No women in that country are seen without following this ritual. 

Women who are non Muslim are so much inspired by the idea of hijab scarf, that they also follow this in their routine life as this not only adds beauty to them but also confidence and comfort to their apparel. Muslim women have so many different creative ideas to wear the hijab scarf i.e. some wear it with a long coat, with their dopata, and others with the normal dress. Hijab helps them to out stand as Muslim women.

Importance of the Hijab

One of the most important elements of the identity of a Muslim women personality is “the hijab”. In Islam and many other religions there is an attraction between the opposite sex and chances for any type of private affair to groom in that way. Therefore these religions put some type of  restrictions on this type of freedom, to avoid these unintentional affairs to happen. The hijab is one of these  types of restriction on women, to cover themselves and to avoid men being attracted towards them for the  sake of beauty.

The hijab provides women a security and a respectable space in the Islamic society, therefore  protecting the females from any such unwanted desires. It creates an atmosphere in order to resist the  unethical demands and to build in the internal immunity for both men and women in every society. Another important feature of the Hejaz is that it creates a modest feeling in the females which lessen  their desires of the material items like dressings and expensive jewels for showing and enhancing their beauty. Muslim women are there for fulfilling two major pillars of Islam. One is to be in a cover  and other is to be modest.
