thank you sister for clarifying that up for me concerning the colored hijab....now i was browsing websites and i came across one that states:

"THE WORD "HIJAB" in the QURAN

"Hijab" is the term used by many Muslims women to describe their head cover that may or may not include covering their face except their eyes, and sometimes covering also one eye. The Arabic word "Hijab" can be translated into veil or yashmak. Other meanings for the word "Hijab" include, screen, cover(ing), mantle, curtain, drapes, partition, division, divider.

Can we find the word "Hijab" in the Quran??

The word "Hijab" appeared in the Quran 7 times, five of them as "Hijab" and two times as "Hijaban," these are 7:46, 33:53, 38:32, 41:5, 42:51, 17:45 & 19:17.

None of these "Hijab" words are used in the Quran in reference to what the traditional Muslims call today (Hijab) as a dress code for the Muslim woman.

Hijab as it appears in the Quran has nothing to do with the Muslim Women dress code. "

Also, under HISTORICAL BACKGROUND it stated..

"While many Muslims call "Hijab", an Islamic dress code, they completely ignore the fact that, Hijab as a dress code has nothing to do with Islam and nothing to do with QURAN. "

the website link is: http://www.submission.org/teenagers/dress-teens.html

it seems to me that the writer is following only the Quran and somehow ignoring maybe neglecting the Sunnah... isn't a muslim supposed to follow the Quran and the Sunnah
... i don't know really though i hope someone may clarify this for me...
