Investigating the Importance of Wearing Hijab by Muslim Women
Abstract
ABSTRACT: In the West, many regard the “hijab” (veil) as a sign of oppression, with women forced to wear the garments by men. To throw light on this important issue, the current study focuses on the importance of wearing “hijab” by Muslim women according to “Al-Qur’an” (holy book of Islam) and “Al-Sunna” (Prophet Muhammad Tradition). It will also looks at the concept, the place, and the reasons why Allah SWT (Subhanahu Wa-Ta’ala or God Almighty) ordered Muslim women to wear “hijab”. The study is theoretical in nature and qualitative approach, the existing available literatures, and research work related to the topic of “hijab” will be reviewed. The study reveals that, in the seventh century, Arabia was existed as a patriarchy that objectified women and deemed them to be worthy of some respect based on their lineage and fortune. Only upper-class women wore “hijab” then. The “hijab”, therefore, worn by them at that point was one step further taken by Islam to erase the social hierarchy implemented on women. It also revealed that there are many importance of “hijab”, such as: to obey God and to be known as respectable women. It also “hijab” frees women from being thought of as sexual objects of desire, or from being valued for their looks, or body shape rather than their minds and intellect. The paper also notes that in many dry and hot countries, like in the Middle East for example, “hijab” helps women keep their hair cleaner for a longer time by protecting it from wind and dirt. It also protects the hair, as well as the face, from the burning rays of the sun.
KEY WORD: Importance of Hijab; Muslim Women; Al-Qur’an and Al-Sunna; Islamic Veil.
ABSTRAKSI: “Investigasi Pentingnya Mengenakan Jilbab oleh Wanita Muslim”. Di negara-negara Barat, banyak yang menganggap jilbab sebagai tanda penindasan, dengan wanita dipaksa untuk mengenakan pakaian tertutup oleh pria. Untuk menyoroti masalah penting tersebut, penelitian ini berfokus pada pentingnya mengenakan jilbab oleh wanita Muslim menurut Al-Qur'an dan Al-Sunnah. Ini juga akan melihat konsep, tempat, dan alasan mengapa Allah SWT (Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala) memerintahkan wanita Muslim untuk mengenakan jilbab. Studi ini bersifat teoritis dan pendekatan kualitatif, literatur yang tersedia, dan tindakan penelitian terkait dengan topik jilbab akan ditinjau. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa, pada abad ketujuh, negeri Arab adalah sebagai patriarki yang mengobjektifkan perempuan dan menganggap mereka layak dihargai berdasarkan garis keturunan dan kekayaan mereka. Hanya wanita kelas atas yang memakai jilbab saat itu. Jilbab, oleh karenanya, dikenakan oleh mereka pada saat itu adalah satu langkah lebih lanjut yang diambil oleh Islam untuk menghapus hierarki sosial yang diterapkan pada perempuan. Ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa ada banyak pentingnya jilbab, seperti: untuk taat kepada Tuhan dan dikenal sebagai wanita terhormat. Juga, jilbab membebaskan wanita dari anggapan sebagai objek hasrat seksual, atau dihargai karena penampilan mereka, atau bentuk tubuh daripada pikiran dan kecerdasan mereka. Makalah ini juga mencatat bahwa di banyak negara yang beriklim kering dan panas, seperti di negara-negara Timur Tengah contohnya, jilbab membantu wanita menjaga rambut mereka lebih tahan lama dengan melindunginya dari angin dan kotoran. Ini juga melindungi rambut, serta wajah, dari sinar matahari yang membakar.
KATA KUNCI: Pentingnya Jilbab; Wanita Muslim; Al-Qur’an dan Al-Sunnah; Jilbab Islami.
