    A closer look into hijab, it’s meaning, and common misconceptions


    By: Renad Suqi
    What is Hijab?
    Trilateral Root Word and Meaning
    ‫ب‬-‫ج‬-‫ح‬
    ‘hijab’ –Arabic word meaning “covering”
    Political and Social Controversy
    • Hijab has come to signify much more than just a piece of cloth
    to cover the head.
    • Besides it being a religious symbol to many Muslim women, in
    recent years it has become a sign for social and political
    movements around the world.
    • One prime example of this ( outside the U.S) is Iran.
    1979 Revolution and it’s Effects on Women.

    In 1936, Reza Shah outlawed the wearing of the


    veil(hijab)
    • The educated/upper class inherited
    western dress, education, and
    economic policies
    1979 Revolution and it’s
    Effects on Women.
    That wasn’t the case for the poor/
    working class women, many of whom
    continued to practice veiling despite
    political overrule.
    Because veiling was outlawed, these
    women were forced to stay in their
    homes or risk having their veils
    removed and being detained by police.
    The Veil became a symbol
    for the religious vs. political
    power in Iran
    • The populist movement of 1979 overthrew
    the Shah and established the modern day
    republic.
    • This political shift in power led to the
    instatement of new laws
    • One being the compulsory veiling of women.
    Hijab and the West
    • In the U.S, the first amendment protects the freedom of religion and therefore protects the
    right to wear hijab.

    • What many Muslim women battle in the U.S are the stereotyping, perception, and media
    representation of veiled women.

    • Many of these false perceptions are derived from political and social issues in the east (ex:
    Iran)
