Ask a Muslimah pt.1: what is hijab?

Opening and closing credits: Spoken word by Boona Mohammed - "Beautiful"

"Muslimah" = "Muslim female"

In this short documentary film, a handful of Young Muslim Women take their time out to answer a some of the many questions posed to the average Muslim woman. We hope this will allow many non-muslim to see beyond the misconceptions, misunderstandings, or stereotypes about Islam.

Questions:
Part 1:
1) What is hijab?
2) Why do Muslim women wear the hijab?
3) How old are muslim females when they start wearing hijab?

Part 2:
4) When did you start wearing the hijab?
5) Do you think there are any misconceptions about hijab?

Part 3:
6) What are the usual and unusual questions you get about hijab?
7) Are Muslim females not allowed to say "no" to their husbands?

Part 4:
8) What do you think of how non-Muslim women dress? Do you think it's disrespectful and that they need to cover up?

LOL! What crack me up is when I see "SISTERS" rockin hijab and got a face full of makeup... What a joke man, I love your videos, don't get me wrong... But, I mean, come on sisters.

@THAT1UMMAH. Asalam wa alaikum. Please do not call them out of their name by saying "sisters", as if doubting their islam. We all have things that we need to work on. It is not our job to mock those who may be working on something one has already accomplished or feels should be accomplished.

Thanks for the video. I like the concept behind the hijab. However, I feel that it should be the man who values a woman for her mind and that a woman shouldn't have to dress modestly to get respect. In an ideal world that would work I guess but unfortunately it's not.

First of all profit MUHAMMAD is not even a courter to evil he is the best human ever was born, his my roll model , he is the nicest person alote of people loved him before and after Islam (muslims or non-muslims) and he was never murdered!! And how dare you say that QURAN is corrupt , it's the best book and meaningful book in the world, it has some thing that is just discovered and it came from a long time ago!!!!!! And jesus is a profit like MUHAMMAD !! He has merecols , his just a human like

@IslamIstheWayforMe amen on the comment ... i applaud your efforts and believe Allah does as well, it all has to do with your intent - I've never known a woman to wear hijab who is not with proper intentions...afterall, its not necessarily a fashion statement, especially here in the US. my Allah bless you dear

@THAT1UMMAH

Great. Keep on cursing and using harsh language and then trying to correct other Muslims for small issues like your better then them. You told the sister its a joke to wear hijab and make up but look at your foul mouth, which the propeht(saw) never sanctioned. again, learn humility and get rid of your pride. salaam.
