Parda Orat Ka Husan Hai

  

Rules regarding Muslim women's (and men's) attire are derived from 
              the Quran, Islam's revealed text, and the traditions (hadith) of the 
              Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In the Quran, God states: "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 adornments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they 
              should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty 
              except to their husbands, their fathers...(a list of exceptions)" 
              [Chapter 24, verses 30-31] Also, "O Prophet! Tell thy wives and 
              daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer 
              garments over their persons...that they should be known and not 
              molested." [Chapter 33, verse 59]
