ہیلو حجاب: ماں بیٹی کے لیے ایک بہتر دنیا تخلیق کرنے کی امید کرتی ہے۔

I am surprised this article is being featured in this platform. Promoting the wearing of hijab as a spiritual practice is stupefying. This seems to be a tacit attempt to indoctrinate next generation of women born in a free country, using the thin veil of modesty. Strange..

If the hijab has spiritual or sacred meaning, why turn it into a toy? Scenarios where children trying to be creative or funny would put hijabs on other dolls, stuffed animals etc or use them for other play purposes are inevitable. Kids can learn to be respectful of the symbol or can also mock it with or without intention if it's given to them as a toy.

Can someone please let me know why women wear the hijab ? In what way does it contribute to spiritual development ? Why women in particular have the dress code ?

Educating others about your culture is a good thing and hopefully when your daughter grows up, society will be less judgemental. What I find hypocritical is how you want to change society in the western world yet I don't see much said about changing the lives of women in the Middle East. It is well known how badly the expatriate women who work as maids in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are treated. They have no voice when they are beaten and raped, made to work long hours and paid so poorly. No one has tried to change that society. How about raising your voice about that? That would make you a hero in my eyes... most definitely.

Everyone should have the freedom to practice their own beliefs. If wearing a headscarf is the outward display of that belief, then it should be acceptable to all. However I think the explanation could be more explicit on the card (given with the dolls headscarf) for better understanding. It doesn't make it clear why the headscarf is an integral part of the belief or practice.
Also any display of a belief should be universal. If a headscarf is acceptable then wearing a cross and chain should also be acceptable, which sadly is not always the case. It has been said that wearing a cross and chain is not acceptable as it may offend those of a different faith. You cannot have double standards if we are to be truly accepting of each other and others beliefs.

Isn't it really an insult against Allah to cover up the beauty of a woman's hair? I suggest not more hijabs in our USA and less hijabs in Saudi Arabia

I feel sad and heavy reading this. Sensing such a deep and long time conditioning imposed upon women they can not even aware of themselves in prison of oppression and trying to feel some meaning in life justifing little decoration inside of jail - all the while without realizing they are actually in the jail. I wonder what I can do to help them to be aware of their own jail and break out of it and stop dragging their daughters into same jail. If they feel some sense of belonging and safety by staying in jail, maybe there is other ways they can meet that needs without submitting to the unwholesome demand on women. If she needs something that will help her feel like that she is seen and matter among Americans, she can find so many ways she can shine.

I am continually saddened by how a religion with so many beautiful and peaceful tenets has been hijacked by a militant public face, and I applaud this homegrown effort to promote Religious acceptance. I believe that positive creativity echos the Spirit of the Creator, and I think God smiles when two good women try in a small but powerful way to represent the spiritual practice of their faith to the general public in a way that promotes understanding. Aren't mothers everywhere motivated by the love of their children to make the world a better place? And here we see two mothers doing what all loving mothers do.

I am speaking out against all religions and cultures that require women to swaddle themselves. The roots of this so-called "modesty" is shame of women's bodies and blaming women for men's sexual predatory thoughts and behaviors. No! I do not want to see Hijabs, Berkas, Habits, Jewish Headscarfs or other oppressive and required clothing for women normalized. Where does such a dress code exist on earth for men? Let's see some men try to functon wrapped up in mandatory body-cover/shaming clothing when it is 100 degress outside, or when swimming, or running, or biking, or just living! Spare me the "discrimination" claim. Where the discrimination lies is in oppressive patriarchal cultures and religions! Destroy the Patriarchy!

Islam, not www.thereligionofpeace.com
Not sue what "Daily Good" came out of this article. :(
Islam is a violent political ideology with a thin veil of religiosity for protection.
