The subject of women's wardrobe which creates the most controversy in society. Now you know all about it!

Hijab — a garment of Muslim women, perhaps, causes the most controversy in society. And this has less to do with the social struggle for equality and justice, how many understand its value. Of course, the hijab was never just a scarf, but globalization has turned it into a religious and political symbol, which represents the Muslim world, especially European perceptions of him.





The editorial staff of "the Site" decided to find out what is the meaning and the background has a hijab. We won't touch on religion and politics, just tell you everything you need to know in the modern world, the borders in which every year more and more blurred. And the influence of Muslim culture, especially in fashion, is undeniable.





Girls in hajabakiga is a very broad concept. It is not only the headdress, as is accepted in European society, but also the entire clothing to accommodate Muslim ideas about how looks like a decent woman. It can be any opaque outfit that clings to the figure and reveals only the face and hands.





Still there is the concept of the "inner hijab". Little mention, because no one sees him. It implies qualities such as chastity and respect for God.





It is worth noting that in most current Muslim countries the tradition to cover the head existed long before the advent of Islam. The usual dress only have adapted to the demands of the new religion that has spawned many varieties of national Muslim costume.





And the most interesting that you need to know is in the Koran does not describe specific kinds of clothing. Therefore, the style and colour of the hijab is very different depending on the region. For example, in Saudi Arabia, the traditional color of women's outfit is black and male is white.





They say that it's related to history, namely a history of military service. Alleged battle between Arab tribes often occurred at night, so the woman, dressed in black, could easily escape, and men specially dressed so that they could be seen from afar. From this it becomes clear that women are cherished, not just used as many people think.





In Arab countries women often can be seen in black abayah with embroidery, in India, Muslim women wear bright saris or salwar-dress, and Iranian women from villages near the Persian Gulf covering my face beaded masks.









Do not forget that there are different types of shawls. They are all different from each other and have different names.





Also, it is understood that clothing women depend on the liberalism of the country and the will of her husband. Somewhere, a Muslim can walk in jeans and t-shirts and to wear beautiful hijab on holidays, but somewhere must observe all the traditions. In any case, is a matter of culture, honour and religion. It would be foolish to condemn someone without knowing the traditions of the people, and especially to prohibit, as they do in some democratic countries.

All peoples have traditions, incomprehensible to others. But in our dynamic world needs to know everything about everything, so don't forget to share interesting information with their friends in social networks!
