Often times the Hijab (or any sort of head dress) are immediately associated to muslims, which the media has presented as a negative image. The hijab to some non-muslims, are seen as degrading to women because they have to "cover up" which isn't exactly the case. Here are some reasons why muslim women LOVE wearing them

 

7 reasons why 

1)  Many Muslims believe God requires women to cover their hair

2) Many Muslims believe that covering the head engenders a certain spiritual state of receptivity and centeredness

3) Head-covers convey a message of purity and godliness to many observers

4) Many people believe that a headscarf engenders respect and honor for women, thus preventing men from flirting

5)Headscarves actually accentuate many women’s beauty by drawing attention to the face and away from the hair and the body

6)It is convenient to simply wear your head-cover so that you have

it handy for the next prayer time, instead of having to carry it around in a handbag

7)In certain cultures, covering one’s head is respectful to other people, especially to status superiors such as older people
