For some, the hijab is worn by Muslim women to maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia". The Qur'an instructs Muslim women and men to dress modestly.
The hijab is worn by Muslim women as an act of obedience to God’s command in the Quran, where Allah (God) says: وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ “And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment….” (Quran 24:31) This Quranic verse is one of many proofs for why Muslim women wear a headscarf. In this verse, Allah tells the believing women to wear their headcovers over their chests. The Quranic verse informed the believing Muslim women to take their Khimars (head covers) and throw it over their chests instead to cover the full body. When Muslims obey God’s commands, they are rewarded and earn His eternal pleasure. Hence, Muslim women wear the headscarf as an act of love and obedience towards their Creator.
