And let them not display more of their charms to any but their husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands fathers, or their sons, or their husbands sons, or their brothers, or their brothers sons, or their sisters sons, or their womenfolk, or those whom they rightfully possess, or such male attendants who are beyond sexual desire, or children that are as of yet unaware of women's nakedness; and let them not swing their legs in walking so as to draw attention to their hidden charms. And always you believers, turn to Allah (God) in repentance so that you may attain a happy state." [Quran Chapter 24, verse 31] "O Prophet, tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their persons when abroad; that is most convenient so that they be not known as such and not molested; and Allah (God) is most forgiving, most merciful.." [Quran Chapter 33 verse 59] "The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes)." [Bukhari 148] AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST laila Nasheeba
