Some says hijab is a the cause of arrears and it is related to past eras and primordial man and, some others to show the level of acceptance of Hijab , say that it is better to put them in referendum. To investigate these comments and to prove the level of the importance of Hijab, firstly we provide the meaning and then its benefits and its consequences. The word of hijab in Arabic language also means coverage and also means a cover and hurdle for something to be shown and is mostly used in second concept. Perhaps, it can be said that based on the word's meaning any cover is not Hijab but also, a cover is regarded as hijab that to be located behind the face. In terms of religious oracles the word" Setr" which is meant to cover, is being used. The rules of women's coverage in Islam is not mean that they not to go out of the home, because there is no imprisonment and confinement of women prevalent in Islam. The issue is not that whether it is good for a woman to be appeared in the society in cover or without cover? But, the spirit of the issue is that whether the desires of the man toward the woman- apart from adultery that is strongly forbidden- should it be free, out of charge or no? In fact, the main issue is restricting the sexual desire to the family and legal wives or freedom success even in the society. Islam is fond of restriction and controlling sexual lust and the issue of Hijab originates from this. According to Islam, woman's coverage has variety of mystery and secrets but, we should consider that we do not dominate on the benefits or the corruptions of the divine rules. However, the points that will be suggested as well as other points are collectively caused legislation of hijab by learned God and it is the worshiper's duty to accept God's command by heart. We should consider that the rule of hijab in Islam is not summarized into wearing chador and covering the head and body but also, she should show the Hijab in the way of looking, talking, walking and all her treatments, as well.
The philosophy of Hijab:
a) The divine outcomes of propensity to God:
Man has two dimensions of physical and spiritual one, the goal human creation is being tested, worshiping and being completed. Despite the fact that all the commandments of God is based on the real corruption and is truly influential in reaching the man to felicity and eternal prosperity however, keeping the determined coverage in the religion is an essential factor so that the man can keep his sprite clear and lighting and moves to eternal happiness. On the other hand, lack of wearing hijab avoids of achieving goal and darkens the sprit. So, using some of the religious goals and orders we can achieve this goal. Hijab causes heartily as well as divine purification and improves purity and shame. Hijab prevent prostitution and causes spiritual calmness of the woman.
b) Psychic tranquility
Lack of privacy between man and woman and freedom of immoral commitments increases sexual excitations and turns sexual demands into a spiritual need and unsatisfied demand. Sexual desire like other characteristics is a strong, deep and sea like instinct that the more followed, the more disobedient it will become. The owners of harem - such as Khosrow Parviz and Harun al-Rashid - along with the avarices and the authority of the history and the high rates of prostitution and sexual abuse in a civilized society of today, is an evidence for this claim. Islam pays full attention to the sheer power of this irrepressible instinct. However, many traditions about the Danger of "looking", "being alone with unmarried" and "sexual instinct" are entered. So, to this reason, Islam in order to suppress this instinct in the relations of man and woman has sought some ways like looking, coverage and the respect of marriage. The sexual lust like the lust for wealth and position is insatiable. It is a big lie and dream if someone thinks that men feels satisfy by possessing the pretty women or by free relations or with relationships and abundance of sexy toys, little by little men and women shall be saturated of each other. When desire and demand is unlimited, will inevitably be unattainable and this deprivation causes mental disorders. But the importance of women's coverage in Islam is because:
Firstly: the man with the smallest excuse even a glance is seduced.
Secondly: his patience and his tolerance against sexual instincts is lower than those of women. Thirdly, the woman by nature is more subtle and more beautiful and more desirable. Fourth, desire to show off and self-assembly in women is stronger than those of men.
c) The strength of the familial ties
Undoubtedly whatever causes the strength of familial tie and the couple intimacy is useful for family strength and the maximum efforts should be made in making and keeping it and whatever cause the weakness of this base, should be abandoned. It is evident that dedicating pleasures to family unit and in the frame work of the marriage will make the marital bond stronger. The free and unlimited chattering of the boys and girls summarize the marriage as a task that we should exert by advice and force on them. In the system of free sexual relations, the marriage ends to the freedom of boys and girls and make them to be loyal to each others while in the Islamic system ends to privation and expectation. Hence, in the past, the marriage was followed by more happiness and pleasures than today and it was a period in the dreams of the couples and was compared with kingdom and monarchies. The availability of conditions for getting pleasure through looking , talking , laughing , touching and the same makes the man disinterested to his own legal wife and creates a thirst insides him that is not satisfied by one or two sip.
d) The stability of community
Pulling sexual exploitation from home environment to society weakens the workforce and activity in the community. Unlike what the opponent to the women's Hijab say that hijab means "not using half of the people's community ''so, Hijabless and free sexual relations causes all the community forces to be reduced. Islamic hijab directs and insures the forces of man and woman and each will have the ultimate efficiency without costing energy and time on both sides. "Islam is not against the woman's going out from home to educate and doing social, political and economical activities; even it emphasizes on the cases like teaching of the women but, all of theses cases should move on the frameworks of Islam. So, it is here if there are some conflicts between some activities outside the home with goals and objectives like childbearing and abandonment of the sins in any form, we should insist on the divine commandments and orders. Unfortunately in most cases, the excessive presence of women in university, office, factory, and community has been followed with nasty outcomes.
However, what stops moving community and productive activities in various social aspects is not women's coverage but, the main obstacle is inappropriate coverage, the semi-nudity body making up, attracting opposite sex , chattering and laughing in the office .
h) The value and respect of the woman
The privacy of keeping woman among the self and the man is one of the mysterious cases the woman uses from the beginning to keep her position against the man. Islam has emphasized that the more dignified the woman walks and does not exposes herself out, the more valued she would be. Hijab unlike the comments of some people is a social case – including personal and divine right- and it is directly influential in social relations. The physical features of the individuals as followed with the highest attractions and pleasures for the world
Owners and the sensualities on the contrary for the religious owners and divine moralities are accompanied with the highest divine harms. So, disobedience of coverage and legal needed orders are in fact, violation to divine rights and psychic freedom to the viewers. This is the best argument for the necessity of wearing full hijab by the women and demanding this right by observers.
