Why Hijab? Benefits Of Hijab

Bismillah Hir Rehman Ir Raheem 
Start In the Name Of Allah The Most Beneficent The Most Merciful


"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed..." [Noble Quran 33:59]

1. Represents purity

The hijab is regarded like an indication of dignity and purity. It highlights Muslim women as chaste and pure women. It also sets the wearer apart from immoral behaviors linked to women who wear immodestly. Actually, the hijab acts like a screen between chaste Muslim women and the world’s evil.

2. Protects from male harassment

Most men do not make lewd gestures or whistle when a woman wearing a hijab passes by. In fact, men view the hijab like a sign that says off limits and thus do not approach such women. Muslim women by and large have a low chance of being exploited for their femininity and beauty in contrast with other women. Thus it protects from lustful eyes and harassment from strange men. 

3. Places focus on intellect

The hijab also benefits Muslim women by forcing people, particularly men, to go past the outer appearances and focus on the women’s intellect. Rather than assessing woman for her mind, the society usually assesses her based on physical traits. Many people are truly surprised when they discover that a Muslim who wears a hijab is articulate, intelligent and educated.

4. Eliminates competition amongst women

People in western nations are known for sacrificing health and financial savings so as to have expensive plastic surgery with an aim of meeting unrealistic standards of beauty. However, through wearing a hijab, Muslim women can go about their normal duties without worrying about impressing other people.

5.Hygienic Purposes:

All public should wear Hijab or head-covering workers serving society to ensure cleanliness and purity. Workers in a number of professions wear "veils" - nurses, fast food workers, and deli Counter workers, restaurant workers and servers, doctors, health care providers and many more.

6.Female Psychological Balance:

Covering the hair can also have a beneficial effect on the female psyche as well. Studies of women being interviewed for jobs show that there is a high correlation between what they wear and their perceptions of how successful they will be in their interviews. There are many more examples of how what we wear can influence how we act.

7. It Is A Modest Dress
It is a modest dress that guards your chasity and feminity from being exposing to public and strangers. 

Wearing a hijab does not have demerits and those who wear it have more strength and confidence as women become less mindful of their physique and appearance.

8. Protects From Sun Rays And Skin Cancer
Medical experts recommend people to cover up with loose-fitting clothing, especially those made with tightly woven fabrics as they provide a greater barrier between the skin and the sun. Bright or dark-coloured clothing tend to reflect more UV radiation than pastel coloured clothing and bleached cottons.

9- Hygiene
The head-covering ensures cleanliness and purity and prevents cross contamination and spread of infections and diseases.

10- Command From Allah
The creator has commanded you to guard your chaste and dress modestly. Allah says in Quran 
"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 and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O yeBelievers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss." [24:31]

11- Identifies you as a Muslim: “Wearing Hijab identifies you as a Muslim, so anywhere you go, anyone who sees you immediately knows what I believe and what I stand for.” 

12- The hijab cuts down on competition among women. How many people in the West sacrifice financial savings and health in order to have plastic surgery - in a desperate attempt to meet up to an unrealistic standard of beauty. In Islam women are appreciated for their knowledge, peity and contribution to society

Health Benefits of the Hijab | Stunning Hijab 

Non- muslims will know our religion and faith, even without being introduced and thus it spreads message of Islam.
The Islamic dress maintains a state of balance within the human body that helps keep it healthy through out its lifetime. This proves that there are always valid reasons behind any divine rulings and regulations given to mankind and it is clear that the wisdom of Allah in prescribing such rulings related to hijab and the Islamic dress code provides protection not only from sociological and psychological issues but from a health perspective too.
