Hijab Untuk Lelaki?// Hijab For Men?

Lazimnya. ‘hijab’ hanya dibincangkan dalam konteks wanita. Walau bagaimanapun, di dalam kitab suci Al-Quran, Allah S.W.T. terlebih dahulu menyebut tentang ‘hijab’ untuk lelaki sebelum ‘hijab’ untuk wanita. Di dalam Al-Quran disebutkan dalam surah An-Nuur

“Katakanlah kepada orang-orang lelaki yang beriman: Hendaklah mereka menahan pandangannya, dan memelihara kemaluannya; yang demikian itu adalah lebih suci bagi mereka, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka perbuat.” (An-Nuur 24:30) //

The Quran urges the believing men and women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty and then urges the believing women to extend their head covers to cover the neck and the bosom “Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty……And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms….” (24:30,31).

**(^{source from other people’s quote – ‘Habayeb’ from http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080402214200AA3n5QR}) However,Forcing anyone to do something against their own will is against Islam. There is no demand of compulsion in the Quran. On the other hand, every human being should see it as a religious duty to act out of a clean heart.

It is for modesty, modesty is prescribed to protect women from molestation or simply, modesty is protection.
