For the same reason that Mary (pbuh), the mother of Jesus (pbuh) wore veil and hair covering: Because God has commanded us.

Why have some Christians stopped doing so? Until very recent times Christian women also did so. Some denominations that still adhere to some Christian beliefs still do so. but it seems many Christians have abandoned even their own teachings. It was probably sometime in the 1700s when many Christians stopped even that remnant of true Christianity.

This was typical female Christian women clothing in much of the world and is still in use in much of eastern europe.

The hair of a Muslim woman is part of her aurat. Her aurat also include her private parts. So to expose her hair is akin to exposing parts of herself which are not meant for public viewing.

Hope this is useful. Insha Allah.
 
because hair on womens head is so flamboyant...it alters the mood...it makes hearts pound

in other words its highly dangerous to the young man and a small minority of old men
 
Simple. So that ill minded men know that she is off bounds and not for their unrestrained/perverted gaze to drool over.

So contrary to popular belief, it isn't an indicator that she "belongs to men." its actually in the favor of women that she covers because if it were in the favor of men and she really did belong to the man, then the order would be "show off" since a males nature isn't exactly inclined towards opaque fabric.

It is not commanded in the Bible to cover the hair.

Did it need to be? It was an established practice and still is among the Jews. no whwere in the Bib;e do I see it commanded that woman should end that practice.

To carry it a step further show me where in the Bible it is commanded women must wear clothing. Yet, I think most of us would agree they should wear clothing. The Hijab, (Head cover) is a part of clothing so if you agree women need to wear clothing, why would the hijab be exempted? It is one of the oldest articles of clothing among women of the Abrahamic faiths and only some Christian denominations have stopped wearing it.

When Adam sinned against God, Adam and Eve felt shame. To cover their shame they used leafs and other natural sources nearby until God discovered them. When discovered and when they told God what happen, God foretold Christ Jesus and gave humanity clothing. This is why we are suppose to wear clothing. However, there are no mention in the Bible were a woman, and I am going to assume, and a man should cover their hair. As well, there has to be a better reason for Muslims to cover their hair then "It is commanded". There has to be a reason behind it.
 
Actually, it IS commanded in the Bible that women cover their hair. 1 Corinthians 11:6 .

You must not have read your Bible recently.

New Testament, First Corinthians 11:5-6 New International Version
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Peace,

Why should Muslim women present their beauty to strange men? Islam teaches us to dress in a modest manner.

Just curious. Does this mean that the Bible is being continuously updated? By Divine Revelation?

Yes, this does mean that the Bible is continuously being updated but not by Divine Revelation. Other Christians on this forum will argue to you that it has to be updated because the times and the language have evolved so we constantly have to keep updating the terms so that people of current times will understand what's written in it. The way I see it is dumbing it down for the masses. I don't see what it keeps getting updated for since most "Christians" I know haven't even read the Bible from cover to cover anyway. imsad

1. Is it in the bible that God foretold Jesus (pbuh) about clothing for humanity? when was this?
2. I thought you believe Jesus is God, so who is this other God that foretold Jesus the god? so confusing.

That is for public worshiping at the time. It does not need to be followed today.

1. Did Jesus tell women they dont need to wear head covering in the future? Is it in the bible?
2. Who has the power which command need to be followed and which ones should not be followed? Also, is it in the bible?

Your priests told you that Jesus was God (even though Jesus himself said he is not God), and you follow the commandments of those rabbis and priests, even though they were only humans and their commandments are against' Jesus'.

God commanded us that women need to cover their hair, and you said "it's not good enough"?
so commandments from unknown rabbis and priests no matter how absurd and no matter how against Jesus' are good enough for you, but commandments from God is not good enough reason?

No wonder current christianity is so unrecognisable from the one taught by Jesus (pbuh)

I understand now. Is this a general belief of all Christians, that all that needs to be followed is that which is applicable to the political and social ideology of the time?

I guess next there will be no need to follow "Thou Shalt not kill"

OOOps,

Abortions
Assisted suicides
Euthanasia of the elderly and Disabled

Time for a new revision of the Bible to keep up with current trends.
 
There's another verse in the Bible regarding veiling:

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself [Genesis 24:64-65 KJV]
