HIJAB IN HINDUISM (Hair – Head Cover for Women)

Rig Veda Book no. 8 Hymn no. 33 V. no. 19:

“When Brahma has made you a woman, you should lower your gaze and should not look up. You should put your feet together and you should not reveal what the garment and the veil conceals.”

Rig Veda Book no. 10 Hymn no. 85 V. no.30:

“Unlovely is the person is the husband who covers his thighs with the garment of his wife.”

Mahavir Charitra Act 2 Page 71:

When Purshuram comes, Rama tells his wife Sita that “He is our elder, please lower your gaze, and put on the veil.”

If you read historical books, the books talking about the Coin Age, the Age of the Gupta and the post Gupta age, there are coins , on which there are pictures of the Indian woman wearing the veils and the veil are going up to their shoulders, some go up to the arms. There are many Indian women in the villages who wear the veils; some of the women even cover their faces.

HIJAB IN JUDAISUM (Hair – Head Cover for Women)

The Talmud (Ketuboth 72) concludes that under normal circumstances hair covering is a biblical requirement for women.

"One should not walk bare-headed (the distance of) four cubits."

"Small children should (also) be brought up to cover their heads."

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim, Ch. 2.

Kisui Rosh - Sheitel - Wig - Kerchief

As with men, for Jewish women it is tradition, and not an explicit command from the Bible, which requires them to cover their heads as a sign of humility and modesty. The idea is that the display of a woman’s hair is very sexual and as such, should be hidden from all men except her own husband.

The Zohar states (III, 126a) in Parshat Naso, (Mishnah Brurah, Laws of Kriat Shema, Ch. 75) that if a woman covers her head in public: "Her children will enjoy increased stature over other children; moreover, her husband shall be blessed with all blessings, blessings of above and blessings of below, with wealth, with children and grandchildren..."

HIJAB IN CHRISTIANITY (Hair – Head Cover for Women)

Matthew 5:27-28

You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery'

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man; neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abominations unto the LORD thy God.

I Timothy 2:9

And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

I Corinthians 11:5-6

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

HIJAB IN ISLAM (Hair – Head Cover for Women)

It is the general consensus among the Muslims that a Muslim woman is required to cover her head leaving only her face showing as part of an overall dress code and behaviour which Islam prescribes. It is therefore part of the social system of Islam, and a manifestation of important general Islamic principles. Firstly, an educated Muslim woman does this because she is following guidance from God and His prophet Muhammad recorded in the Qur'an,and in the Sunnah (the knowledge about the practice and example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)). For example, one translation of the meaning of the specific ayat (verse)of Qur'an that mentions the head covering is as follows:

God says in Qur’an Surah 24 Al-Nur (The Light); ayat 31 (part of)

And say to the believing women......that they should draw their head-coverings over the neck opening (of their dresses) , and not display their ornaments except to their husbands, their fathers.....(etc)

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their head covers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers that you might succeed.[QURAN 24; 31]

Besides following modest dress codes appropriate to the different natures of a man and woman, both Muslim men and women should abide by a certain modest and respectful code of conduct when interacting with the opposite sex.
