Peace be upon who follow the truth and seek for it:
Thank god becouse you give us a chance to help our brothers and sisters in humanity to know this paradise that we live in beside you my lord .. When we bow infront of your majesty.
Mr. seekingone I don't know why your name and words make me cry .. Maybe becouse it's proceed from honest heart ..
So I have nothing to say except this koranic verse:" Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, we are Christians: because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.
And when they listen to the revelation received by the apostle, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognize the truth: they pray: our lord we believe; write us down among the witnesses.
What cause can we have not to believe in God and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our lord to admit us to the company of the righteous."I am sorry for lengthiness and going out the subject..
So what the answer?
I read that the head covering doesn't belong to islam teaching or the prophet's peace be upon him sunna ..
So there is no religious significance in it.
Maybe you want to ask me why the majority of moslems imam wear it ?
they want to pursue prophet mohammad peace be upon him even in his seeming ..
Quran calls this mode of dressing "modest".moslems, male and female, are expected to dress without exposure of intimate body parts as expressed in the koran :
"say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do." [24:30]
"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms ... " [24:31]
"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not annoyed. Allah (SWT) is ever Forgiving, Merciful." [33:59]Iam sorry again becouse I didn't answer all your quastions and I hope you appreciate my write ..peace
