Veil (Women protection)

 “Parda” 

(A women in Hijaab is like a pearl in Shell)
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them a right. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

How important is parda in Islam?

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzaab verse 59:Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 24 Surah Nur verse 31:Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, Allah Subhanah, the Lord and Creator of the Universe, has Commanded and Declared it obligatory upon the believing woman, who sincerely believe in Him and the Last Day to adorn themselves with the 'hijaab' whenever they are in the presence of non-mehram males. Regardless of the reactions of the ignorant and the un-Godly upon her dress of righteousness, a believing woman should feel honored and proud to adorn herself in the uniform which none other than her Lord and Creator, Allah Subhanah Himself, has prescribed for her.If a believing woman violates the Commands of 'hijaab' when in the presence of non-mehram males, she would indeed be guilty of transgressing and disobeying an obligatory Command of her Lord Most High.

O Prophet, enjoin your wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons. It is expected that they will thus be recognized, and not molested. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

(O Prophet) enjoin the believing woman to restrain their gaze and guard their modesty, and not to display their adornment except that which is displayed of itself, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to display their adornments except before their husbands, their fathers, .......and also forbid them to stamp their feet on the ground lest their hidden ornaments should be displayed.
