SCARVES and ABAYA’S are most commonly used by the MUSLIMS women as their religion ISLAM gave the teachings to cover their heads and body.
Muslim women wear head scarves for traditional reasons, and because it is in keeping with the commandments of Allah. Through Muhammad, Allah’s words are that women should be modest, and cover their beauties like their hair and their chest. At home among family and in front of their husband, Muslim women do not need to wear head scarves.
It should be noted that not all Muslim women wear head scarves. Some wear both head covering and veil, called the Niqab. Others wear merely simple head scarves called Khimar. The Burqa and Chador cover the woman from head to foot, and are worn in some Muslim countries. All clothing that is said to follow the laws of Allah is called Hijab.
However, some modern Muslim women feel that such covering is not important at all. It is a common misconception that all Muslim women dress the same. While many do cover their heads with head scarves, many don’t cover, and wear more westernized style clothing. Still clothing should be simple and not be meant to attract men or express vanity, according to the Quran.
Wearing head scarves is not simply a Muslim practice. Covering the head in temple in the Jewish tradition is equally important. Hassidic Jewish women may also cover their heads with a hat, scarf or wig.
Many Muslim women also find it saves time to don a scarf rather than to style the hair.
Muslim women choose to wear the head scarves in accordance with their -- or their imam's -- interpretation of the Quran, non-Muslims often see the veils (particularly the ones that cover most of the body and/or face) as a sign of religious oppression.
The holy text addresses "the faithful women" who are told to shield their private parts and not to display their adornment "except what is apparent of it".
NIQAB is such a powerful statement that more liberal Muslims sometimes can be heard objecting to it, especially in more developed societies, where women have fought long and hard to shake off restrictions seen as outdated and imposed by men.
