Why do Muslim women choose to wear the tudung? | MS Explains

[@Weizmann07]

Tudung can be a personal choice if the place you are in is not a conservative place. Cause if you live in a conservative area n you don't wear a tudung you gonna find yourself in a lot of trouble.

I don't think it is a big issue in the first place. As to whether you wear tudung or not it doesn't affect our life at all. After all, when the weather is hot, you are one who have to bear with the discomfort. For this, I salute for your courage and decision. I was surprised when the govt brought up this issue months back. I thought the population should be more knowledgeable and mature to accept tudung. It is no threat to the society We have no right to interfere. You have every right to wear it.

Do u think a new type of dressing in a different environment that you are not familiar won't hinder your work? Be more considerate towards others or simply put yourself in the position of them and think.

No...? It's good to have more modest clothing that accommodates Muslim women and incorporate the tudung as well. It becomes wrong when the tudung is presented or decorated wrongly with it straying further from the true intention and definition of the tudung.

[@muneirovalibas6194]

Dressing modestly is also a fashion, isn't it? There are casual or low-key "fashion styles" after all. What is fashion or is it only exclusively the types that are overly flamboyant and flaunting? So to say a religious obligation merging into fashion is the same as religion influencing dietary cuisines of its adherents. Its just a natural process, nothing bad about it.

We all not Gods, stop judging ppl who are not follow certain religion aspect means they are bad ppl. Muslim women not wearing hijab doesn't makes her bad person, its all comes from heart. Dont jump to conclusion and learn/respect others belief. We all living in multiracial/religious communities. Religion is guidance and perfect in their own ways but Human are not. Ppl who have faith, they are just normal ppl. Sometimes they are hardworking, sometimes they are slacking. Same goes to Muslim.

But from the many wisdoms behind it is for the protection of our womenfolks, not an oppression. This protection does not limit to oneself, but it’ll impact the wellbeing of our society. Similar to the wisdom behind having men to lower their gaze. Ultimately you can conclude the meaning of being a muslim is to submit ones own desire to Allah.
