COVERED

Veiling has existed since the dawn of time, but everyone seems to have an opinion about the hijab from the Middle East. One argument is that somehow the hijab is restrictive – holding women back from seeking education, participating in society, achieving career ambitions, being loved, and leading meaningful lives. Many successful women who swear by the hijab say these views are demeaning, insinuating that they cannot achieve success unless they put their bodies on display. A woman’s worth and freedom transcends the whims and desires of men, with their faith uplifting them with timeless guidance.
