The Truth About Hijab - Parda

The Women can wear any type of dress as long as it is modest and according to the three simple rules in Quran. If you are Muslim woman its your choice whether you want to cover your head or not. It's a cultural thing rather related to Islam. 
Men are asked to lower their gaze, and guard their modesty as well as women. The one more thing women need to take care is that they do not do anything special to attract men or temp them so you need to cover your chest. 
Just imagine a group of Muslim men with lowered gaze. When will they look up and notice a women passing by? If you are a woman and you are reading this you will know the answer
Allah, the most merciful, gave us three basic rules for the dress code for women in Islam.

ONE: The best garment is that of nice, modest conduct. (7:26)

TWO: Cover your chest in the presence of unrelated ment (24:31)

THREE: Draw a shawl around your person when outdoors in public (33:59)

While these basic rules are not enough for those who do not trust God, the true believers know that God is Enough. After these three basic rules every woman can adjust her dress according to a pirticular situation. Any addition to these basic Quranic rules is an attempt to correct God or improve on his infinite wisdom. We have no obligation to follow but God's rules, just as his messenger did all the time. Innivations and fabrications that add countless rules to the women dree code are nothing but idol-worship and should be vehemently rejected. Stay with Allah, that is where the winners go.
