What it says in the Quran

There is as we know much talk about the covering of Muslim women. Are we referring to the hijab or the Niqab as covering and what is acceptable and more to the point what does the Quran say?

The hijab is the covering of the hair  but not the face. it is you could say often today referred as also the covering by loose clothing also of the body.
The Niqab or as orientalists say Burqha, refers to the complete covering of the face, could be fully including eyes or with eyes showing, but implying a covering of the main face.

The Quran mentions the veil for women except hands and feet. Where we see women wearing the complete Niqab is through personal choice and highly respected and applauded.

In today's times where immorality is so high, and where it seems walking half naked is very acceptable, the Muslim women wanting to cover herself is a point she is making, that she wishes to not be associated with the filth of so called modern society and wishes to cut herself off and where people, mainly men cannot therefore look at her as a sex object as with the majority of men to towards women in western society do.
