The message of hijab...
What is the message behind a woman’s covered-attire/ tesettur/ hijab ? I believe it is an extremely personal preference, which should not be written about. Yet, asserting a perspective seemed essential since there has been many speculations going on about it. The comments of Kerim Ture, who is the CEO of a leading online sales website (www. modanisa.com) specialized on tesettur and serves to muslim woman , is being discussed: ‘No need to open up or reveal to be sexy. Sexiness is possible even with eyes only. Should a Muslim woman believe that she needs covered-attire, she could achieve that with silk and turquoise as well.’ Why do women cover (clothing)? Answers within our geography: Familial pressure, to avoid male harassment, fear of creator, due to religious reasoning, spousal pressure… What about head-covering? Why would it be asked for? Not to seduce other men, not to disturb the peace in the family, to sustain the peace in the family by not drawing other men
