Read about Muslim Dress
Learning Objective 1.2:
What is the focus of the article?
The focus of the article is to inform others about the personal experiences people have had with the hijab. The article is a series of questions and answers with 3 women who used to wear the hijab, but no longer do. The answers to the questions vary, but it is interesting to hear all of their opinions and personal experiences. The article is very focused on specifically how their families reacted to the uncovering of their hair and the overall feelings they had towards it as well. All 3 women experienced different personal problems with the hijab and after they took it off.
The women’s general thoughts of the hijab are that “it is
not one of the pillars of Islam and that the resurgence of veiling has been
systematically driven forward as a matter more of politics than piety” and “wearing
the hijab is a step too far”. They all understand how their families reacted to
their uncovering, but also believe that it is everyone’s own personal decision
on whether or not the hijab is necessary in the religion of Islam.
