It is normal to see a woman wearing a veil in countries where the majority of the population is Muslim. Although the image of “Hijab” is not strange because it was known in previous cultures before Islam, it is considered a phenomenon especially in Western societies where many misunderstood thoughts are still carried. Some non-Muslim people in the United States see "Hijab" as an image of fundamentalism, fanaticism, barbarism, oppression, retrogradation and terrorism. Wearing the veil raises many controversial questions such as: why do Muslim women wear the veil? Wearing the veil is a cultural tradition or religious practice! What exactly is the "Islamic dress code" and does it have to be changed in its qualities at any moment to be acceptable! Does “Hijab” isolate women from interacting normally within society?

We created you from one (pair) of male and female” (Quran 49; 13). Therefore, men and women have similar rights and duties; The Almighty says: “I will never waste the labor of the worker among you, whether male or female, one of you from another” (Qur'an 3:195). Islam removed the false idea that women were the cause of evil. The Quran mentions that both Adam and Eve are responsible for the first sin. However, both repented and both were forgiven (Kayani, 1)
