Jilbab - What is All About?

Jilbab is one of traditional clothing in Middle Eastern and one of the most popular clothing for Muslim women

. Jilbab also always been a source of curiosity for people in western world. One of the source is the difference of "freedom for women" where the western women think that jilbab means dictate the woman freedom.

Lay aside of arguments from both sides, there are many reference in Quran an Sunnah about the obligatory of veiling of women. However, in Quran itself does not stated that jilbab have to be long, loose flowing robe. In fact, Islam just stated that women should covers their body and the veiling process instead.They do not believe that the term only refers to the robes instead could be consolidated for all types of Muslim clothing that is decent and modest.

Nevertheless it has not decreased its popularity and it can even be seen in the western cities too. Jilbabs are long robes which are worn over one's clothes as an outer garment. It covers the clothes which are worn inside in the privacy of the home. It is a typical Muslim wear which all women must compulsorily wear in the presence of male members of the society, especially those men who are eligible of marrying them.

The Jilbab is a very common sight throughout the Middle East and the Muslim world, yet for a very long time it has remained an object of mystery and is much debated in the west. Over the decades due to a strong influx of Muslims it has become a common sight on the streets of some western capitals. Jilbabs tend to be long robes which are used as an outer garment to cover the clothes which are worn in the privacy of the home with family or in all female gatherings.

Most modern day Muslims are adamant about the Jilbabs being the same as those that were worn by Muslim women in the Prophet's (p.b.u.h) time. On close scrutiny, there is a lot of information available on the history of Jilbabs. According to some research, the current day Jilbabs date originally back to the 1970's when the Egyptian Muslim women adopted them as the form of dressing. According to this research, the Egyptian women wore these Jilbabs to show their obedience to a specific sect of Islam. Thus they are considered a modern invention which is in complete adherence to the laws strictly stated in the Quran. After the Egyptian women, these slowly filtered out to the Indonesian women as well. Slowly and steadily, these robes became a part of Muslim women's wardrobe in a vast majority of previously unaccustomed parts of the Muslim world.

The ever increasing Muslim strength and the more religiously involved people in the 1970's and 1980's, led to the globalization of these Jilbabs. Today, regardless of ethnic or social background, they have become a trademark for Muslim women all around the world. Women who initially wore only loose fitting culturally traditional clothes have converted to wearing Jilbabs as they believe that this is what Allah (SWT) stated in the Quran. The Muslim women specifically living in Non-Muslim countries have adopted the long and loose robes that hide the contours of their bodies along with a scarf or head wrap that completely hides their hair from all others.
