Beautiful Abayas

Beautiful Abayas

" Almighty Allah says: 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 (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 husband's sons, their brothers, or their brother's sons, or their sisters' sons, ..."[ Surah Al-Nur:30]

A very common question about hijaab is ‘does it restrict the movement and participation of women in society?’ A reply to this is that it certainly does not. Dressing modestly is intended to facilitate the participation of women in society by actually removing a major obstacle in their way and that is the misuse and exploitation of their beauty and sexuality.
