This is a good question and there is a beautiful answer! Allaah hascommanded us with every action that is good for us and prohibited us from performing every action that is bad for us. Allaah orders the Muslim woman to wear the hijaab when she steps out of the security of her home or when in the presence of strange men. So to wear the hijaab is a source of great good for you - the Muslim woman - for many reasons. Among them: 1. You please Allaah. You are obeying the commands of your Lord when you wear the hijaab and you can expect great rewards in return.
2. It is Allaah's protection of your natural beauty. You are too precious to be "on display" for each man to see.
3. It is Allaah's preservation of your chastity.
4. Allaah purifies your heart and mind through the hijaab.
5. Allaah beautifies your inner and outer countenance with hijaab. Outwardly your hijaab reflects innocence, purity, modesty, shyness, serenity, contentment and obedience to your Lord. Inwardly you cultivate the same.
6. Allaah defines your femininity through the hijaab. You are a woman who respects her womanhood. Allaah wants you to be respected by others, and for you to respect yourself.
7. Allaah raises your dignity through the hijaab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because he sees that you respect yourself.
8. Allaah protects your honour 100% through your hijaab. Men do not gaze at you in a sensual way, they do not approach you in a sensual way, and neither do they speak to you in a sensual way. Rather, a man holds you in high esteem and that is just by one glance at you!
9. Allaah gives you nobility through the hijaab. You are noble not degraded because you covered not naked.
10. Allaah demonstrates your equality as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. Your Lord bestows upon you equal worth as your male counterpart, and gives you a host of beautiful rights and liberties. You express your acceptance of these unique rights by putting on the hijaab.
11. Allaah defines your role as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. You are a someone with important duties. You are a reflection of a woman of action not idle pursuits. You display your sense of direction and purpose through your hijaab. You are someone that people take seriously.
12. Allaah expresses your independence through the hijaab. You are stating clearly that you are an obedient servant of the Greatest Master. You will obey no one else and follow no other way. You are not a slave to any man, nor a slave to any nation. You are free and independent from all man-made systems.
13. Allaah gives you the freedom of movement and expression through the hijaab. You are able to move about and communicate without fear of harassment. Your hijaab gives you a unique confidence.
14. Allaah wants others to treat you - a Muslim woman - with kindness. And the hijaab brings about the best treatment of men towards you.
15. Allaah wants your beauty to be preserved and saved for just one man to enjoy - your husband.
16. Allaah helps you to enjoy a successful marriage through wearing hijaab. Because you reserve your beauty for one man alone, your husband's love for you increases, he cherishes you more, he respects you more and he honours you more. So your hijaab contributes to a successful and lasting marriage relationship.
17. Allaah brings about peace and stability in the society through the hijaab! Yes this is true! Men do not cause corruption by forming illegal relationships because you - the Muslim woman - calm their passions. When a man looks at you, he feels at ease, not tempted to fornicate.
So a Muslim woman in hijaab is dignified, not dishonoured, noble, not degraded, liberated, not subjugated, purified, not sullied, independent, not a slave, protected, not exposed, respected, not laughed at, confident, not insecure, obedient, not a sinner, a guarded pearl, not a prostitute.
Dear Muslim sister! Come towards the gates of Paradise with us! Fulfill your duties towards Allaah, put on your adornment - put on your hijaab, and race towards Jannah (Paradise) by doing all good actions. You should agree by now that wearing hijaab is extremely beneficial - it must be - because Allaah only commands what is good. and believe me dear sister, it is good to obey the commands of your Lord.
"Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow wherein they will dwell for ever; Allaah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him; this is (in store) for whoever fears his Lord." [Sooratul-Bayyinah 98:8]

The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)."
An excellent sharing,:rose: :rose: may ALLAH(SWT) reward both of you the WomanOfJihad :sister: and the Ansar Al-'Adl :brother: the best. jazak ALLAH khair.
Do you differentiate between hijab and the buhrka? Is the first a covering worn as prescribed in your religion and the buhrka is not required. Do women who wear a buhrka feel invisible as they move about in their surroundings?

Most Muslims do. The Hijaab is generally regarded as the simple head covering (not including face) while the Burqah is an outfit that covers the body in its entirety. It could be said that the Burqah is a style of Hijaab, as there are many styles.
Women are required to cover their hair in Islam, and both Men and Women are required to dress Modestly.

. Do women who wear a buhrka feel invisible as they move about in their surroundings?
welllllllllllll i dont wear the burka as shown
but no i dont feel invisible specially because loads of people actually notice me
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
hmm.. isnt it sumwhere in surah al Ahzab .. Where Allah swt has commanded the believin women to cover themselves when they go out of their houses .. n that includes Face as well.... we know this since the Mothers of the believers didnt used to cum infront of Sahabahs .. n if the Sahabahs needed to talk to them. it would b behind the Veil... but Allahu Alim .. loadsa scholars have different opinions ..
The Prophet said, "Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from Allah)."
Thanks for that one- but My freind always uses the exuse that if we dont cover our face when praying in fornt God or when in the Kabah then why in public?
ah .. Women are Meant to cover when they in in the Kabah as well.. but nt many pple do it .... also .. there are loadsa women in saudi who wud tell the non hijabis to cover their faces n they wudnt respect them as much as they wud respect a nikabi ..
* Speaking from my friends point of view who went for umrah she had nikab whereas her sister didnt wear nikab .. so a lady comes n tells the non nikab sister to moove away .. yet she didnt say anyfin to my mate who had nikaab on *
As for covering face infront of Allah SubhanAllah thats the most Sily excuse i heard .. he is our CREATOR !!!!!

because around the masjid ul haram you dont expect fitnah. although it does happen Astaghfirullah on a small scale it isnt expected.

There many hadiths reported on the Niqaab. So if a sister wants to wear it to get closer to Allah then Alhamdulilaah. Thats iman boosting and a step up. It is well-known that the wives of the Prophet covered their faces any time non-mahram men were near.
I had an email on many hadiths on the Niqaab but can't seem to find it
but no i dont feel invisible specially because loads of people actually notice me
