“Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between!” (Quran, Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:16)
In the above verse Allah says that He has created this universe, heavens and the earth for a purpose; every living organism was been made for a specific reason. Same is the case with human generation; we have been created for a purpose, as in Quran:
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Quran, Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)
From this verse it is clear that we are here on this earth to worship only Allah and to follow His commandants. Like we should pray five times a day, Quran recitation and follow the Islamic rules. Hijab is simply another act of devotion to Allah like praying, fasting and other duties in Islam. Wearing Hijab has been advised for females and it’s simply another way of worshipping Allah which brings us closer to our creator.
The purpose of worshipping can be reflected in clothes which we choose to wear; while choosing our dress IF our intention is to please Allah … than our choice is also an act of worship. The purpose of Hijab is to cover the head and most of the people refer it as a personal choice. Definitely it’s a personal choice to obey god rather than following the fashion world. We should not consider Hijab as a piece of cloth but rather it is a symbol of worship, modesty and devotion to God.
If a woman is wearing Hijab that’s a sign of external modesty but if she is not modest in her behavior … it means she is missing half the part. Our behavior is the internal modesty and both internal and external modesties are important.
“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. 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.” (Quran, Al-Mu’minun 24:30-31)
Today we are living in a society where modesty is being judged as a sign of weakness. We need to completely devote our lives to our religion and keep ourselves intact by performing Quran recitation, praying, fasting, zakat and fulfilling all our religious duties.
