Why do Muslim women wear hijab to cover their head?
This question has been repeated millions of times by both Muslims and non-Muslims. The basic answer to that is, Muslim women do it because they believe that Allah requires it of them. It has become a test of faith and dedication to Islam. Hair is one of the most attractive features of a woman’s body and it should be covered as the rest of the body is, to ward off undue attention or unwelcome admiration.
