If that's true my dear sister, this is not the best way to learn your religion so I advice you not to post any non-sense messages. If you want to know your religion, there are hundreds of ways to learn it. I think a large number of KUFAARIS know the importance of the HIJAAB so don't be stupid and foolish enought to ingore the HIJAAB.

Fatima I am responding to the request about the hijab.
sister hijab is wajib because Allah subxaanahu watacaalaa said in the quran suuratul axzaan
'yaa ayuhan nabiyo qul li azwaajika wa banaatika wani saa il mu,miniina yudniina calayhina min jalaabiibihina daalika adnaa anyucrafna falaa yudayn'
the meaning of this aayah is that Allah has asked Prophet muhamed(SCW) to tell his wives, his doughters and all muslim womans to cover their bodies with hijab,

there is also many hadith that explains the hijab
sister Iam not realy scholer or knowlegable person.
what ever i said that is right is from Allah subxaanahu watacaalaa. what ever I said that is wrong is from shaydaan our worts enamy .

Asalaamu calaykum somaliyee
To: Sis Fatima is good if u r willing to learn your religion there is nothing betters what so ever than to learn Muslim religion. It is the Allah's words, telling us in the Qur'aan what to do & what not to which is the way to succeed both in the world and Aqiro. If I come back to your question which was what is the importance of Hijab? Hijab is a big part of our religion if we r Muslim ladies and we have to wear it we have no choice except to wear it, if we don't Allah is going to charge us the day of chargement. Hijab has rules it is not wear only, u have to know it from A to Z then wear it when u know all the rules completly. The ladies have to cover all their body except their face and fingers. As sis shukria said 'yaa ayuhan nabiyo qul li azwaajika wa banaatika wani saa il mu,miniina yudniina calayhina min jalaabiibihina daalika adnaa anyucrafna falaa yudayn' it is aaya from the qur'aan it mean Allah said to prophet Mohamed tell your wives, your daughter & Muslim ladies to cover their body with Hijab.

If I explain to u what Hijab means, it mean a piece of cloth to cover all ur body as I said before, that piece it has to be thick so ur body cannot be view through it. For example Dirac cannot be hijab because is soft and it can easily viewed through your body, if ur body can be seen is haram. That piece of cloth it has to cover completely your body so it cannot show your body organs for example your breast or your female shape, what I mean is it cannot show your body shape clearly. Those pieces of cloth cannot be beautiful or catch other people's eyes (Man who is not ur muxrim); it has to be something not too beautiful. Allah said in the qur'aan suratul Nuur: - ladies r not allowed to show their beauty except their husbands, fathers, brothers sons, their sons, their daughters sons & Muslim ladies. Even they r not allowed showing their neck coz it is part of ladies beauties. That is not all, us ladies we r not allowed to wear perfume then go outside, coz it is harm for example if u wear it then go outside then a man smell it is harm, coz perfume is strong as u know and it catch's people's attention to u, if a ladies smell it is ok, it doesn't matter but it matter's if a man smell it.

My dear sister if u didn't understand I suggest u to search it I'm sure u will find a very good answer to it. If u can read somali I recommend u to look the page QAMAAR XIJAAB MIYAA MISE MAAHA??? In this islam section.

To: Muslim Khalis walaalow gabadha don't push her away, if she didn't want to find information she wouldn't ask us, especially she wouldn't come in Islam section. So if a Muslim person asks u something about our religion and u know it u have to explain it to them not to ignore and push away. Our religion tells us to do that, u don't have to look the fact whether they play game or not. Waa iga talo.

waa iga intaas wacalaykumu salaam

ASALAMA CALAYKUM.
To: Fatima.
Sister realy HIJAB is a important (Covering the head and body)
Sister ISLAM has a two sources for guidance and ruling, QURAN AND HADITH,both of them indicating HIJAB.
Alah told us in the QURAN. ( o phrophet tell your wives and daughtres and the beliving women to draw their outer garments around them that is better in order that they may be known and not annoyed. AHZAB-59)
Sister if you are one of the beliving women you must wear hijab, that is my advice.
If you need more. try to read somali language coz there is some of our bro & sis come from non speaking English country.

To: Muslin khalis ah.
Bro this is a one of those ways you mentioned, i mean internet.so dont chase your sis.

Salama...

Hijab, does it make the society we live so incongrous..perhaps it is, nevertheless indeed we whom we love deeply ourselves than to itself would like to protect his private parts of his portion that is prohibited to reveal..our sisters can't confide their secret exquisite body nor would it be a free to have a money open-body. Hijab is a command from the Ultimate-Merciful (s.w), thus we comformity obey His commandments. We might as well broke the two lines of "as bad-good balance as" to love Hijab, Hijab doesn't at all have a kind of strange to cover yourself, but rather it makes you to be more exult that you should show yourself. We can't only be joyful to wear it but rather it has the most lucrative of advantage for here-after life for WOMEN. Here is a clearify verse from the Holly Quran:

"Say to the believing men to cast down their glance and guard their private parts..."(24:30). And, "Say to the believing women to cast down their glance and guard their private parts."(24:31)

When we took in depth to our hard-consciousness concentration toward to this two "verses"--we can clearly see how it demonstrates to "cover" our private body...that body which isn't a kind of to pleased to our invironmental, but tremendous amount to obey our Lord, who in his All-knower wisdom told us and show what is right and wrong. our private plays a great deal to our body..it in foremost keeps us how we are "eminent" from animals, secondly it also tells us that we are a conscience mankind.

"We (Muslims) believe in a particular philosophy in Islam for woman's hijab or modest dress which forms our intellectual point of view and in regard to analysis, it can be called the basis for the Islamic modest dress"*

*Please See "Islamic Hijab, the Modest Dress"..Third Edition, 1992. Chicago, IL.

If you want more details about our intelligent wisdom about Hijab..this book indeed has a greater specific distinguished details about it.

..."Money"....i didn't mean...money for a real obvious-seen money but a rather it intends a "man"...don't take it a misconcept to "scathe" ourselves as a man whom himself included...
