I was just browsing the internet looking for Brothers' 'Teman Sejati' lyrics when I came across this:

What is the purpose of the Hijab? The purpose of the Hijab in Islam is not to cut Muslim women from participating in the activities of the society or to keep men and women utterly segregated or to make it hard for women to function normally in life. Rather, the Hijab is to help women maintain their dignity and honour as free persons and to help them fulfill their obligation smoothly and comfortably.

The Hijab has been prescribed for your own good dear sister. It protects you from the lusty intentions of evil people. The Hijab is meant to preserve your dignity, O Muslim sister!

Hence like all other Shari’ah-based commands, Hijab should be given due care, for it brings countless fruits and benefits. Hijab is the proper Islamic dress code, which is primarily intended to safeguard modesty, dignity and honour of men and women. In instructing you to wear the Hijab, Allah has given Muslim women what they can bear of injunctions and obligations, for Allah says,

“And We do not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent of it’s ability, and with Us is a Book which speaks the truth, and they shall not be dealt with injustly.” (Al-Mu’minune 23: 62)

What are the requirements of the Hijab? The requisites of Hijab or proper Islamic clothing for women:-

1. It should cover the whole body except face and hands. (may cover face and hands if you wish so)

2. It should be loose-fitting.

3. It should not be transparent or revealing.

4. It should not be an attire specifically worn by men only.

The above is a part of an article from here. Take a look!

I hope by putting this up, some of you out there understand why we Muslims must wear the hijab/tudung. Actually my hijab is incomplete, whoops! Haha, will try to lessen the times I wear tight-fitting clothes aite! Until one time I can not wear them anymore...
