Ever wonder why a Muslim woman dresses that way?

What does the Quran say about covering?

Wudu Male hijab Dress for prayer Jumaa' stereotypes More stereotypes Hypocracy Trinity?? see the truth

Allah(SWT) says in the Quran "O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks over their necks and bosom (Surah Al-Ahzaab  Verse #59 )

Allah (SWT) says in the holy Quran  "And Say to the believing women to lower  their gaze, and protect their private parts  and not to show off their adornment except only,  that which is apparent and to draw their veils  over Juyubihinna ( Surah An-Nur, Verses #30 and #31)

"My approach"

What did the prophet  Muhammad say?

I sometimes get on the internet to chat with a few special people,     in hopes to exchange some religious knowledge.    Offline,I try to approach most people slowly as to avoid scaring    them away!   really..no joke. Here in Florida people act as if they never saw a muslim woman. Most Muslim women wear a scarf that covers their hair called hijab   in arabic. Many also wear long overcoats of lightweight material to cover their regular clothes,   those coats are called jilbab or abayya. and I wear Burgah, which is a veil. I don't know all the reasons why people get scared off. I just figure one reason is the ideas the media has portrayed of muslims and also because I am so abnormal to them being naked has become "NORMAL" in this society!

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a saheeh hadeeth: " Al-Mar-a-tu Awrah (The woman is Awrah)1. (Awrah is that which must be covered.)

This is the clear decisive text, which provides the hukm, judgement, and rule; (this gathers the entire matter).  Whoever reflects upon these 2 words (Al-Mar-a-tu Awrah) only, he will not need another evidence besides this - for covering the entire woman's body - her face, hair, 2 hands, feet & body. The deen has ordered covering the Awrah; it is obligatory, it is pointless to deny it.
