Sura - 24 Light (Al-Nur)
Order Of Revelation 102, Verses 64

quote:
[24:31] And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to GOD, O you believers, that you may succeed. *24:30-31 Dressing modestly, therefore, is a trait of the believing men and women. The minimum requirements for a woman's dress is to lengthen her garment (33:59) and to cover her chest. Tyrannical Arab traditions have given a false impression that a woman must be covered from head to toe; such is not a Quranic or Islamic dress.

quote:
"O Prophet, say to the wives and daughters and the believing women, that they draw their veils close to them …" (The Confederates XXXIII: 55)


quote:
The Koran 4: 34. States that "men are the maintainers of women and spend their property on women; therefore, the good women must be obedient, and to those women on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them." And the Koran 2:223 tells men that your wives are a field for you, so go into your field whenever you like.





The attire of a Muslim woman is that of modesty. Her figure should not be visible to others. Although women do not need to be fully veiled, a scarf is a necessity.

More on Islam

When searching for information on Islam, keep in mind that many sites may portray Islam in a bad light. Sometimes scripture of the Koran may be altered to suit the needs of the author. Some sites may quote the Koran using three periods (...) which leaves out valuable information. This would change the context of a quote which can lead to false information for the reader.

Note: The religious forum of Answerpool is also a great place to ask Islamic questions. We have many who have studied different cultures as well as members of the Islamic faith.
