وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَىٰ عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ ۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ ۚ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٣١﴾ (سورة النور - آیة ۳۱)
And tell the believing women to restrain their looks, and to guard their privates, and not display their beauty except what is apparent thereof, and to draw their coverings over their breasts, and not expose their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, what their right hands possess, their male attendants who have no sexual desires, or children who are not yet aware of the nakedness of women. And they should not strike their feet to draw attention to their hidden beauty. And repent to Allah, all of you believers, so that you may succeed. (31)
وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَن يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ ۖ وَأَن يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُنَّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿۶۰﴾ (سورة النور - آیة ۶۰)
Women past the age of childbearing, who have no desire for marriage, commit no wrong by taking off their outer clothing, provided they do not flaunt their finery. But to maintain modesty is better for them. Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَکُمْ إِلي طَعامٍ غَيْرَ ناظِرينَ إِناهُ وَ لکِنْ إِذا دُعيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَ لا مُسْتَأْنِسينَ لِحَديثٍ إِنَّ ذلِکُمْ کانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيي مِنْکُمْ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَسْتَحْيي مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَ إِذا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتاعاً فَسْئَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَراءِ حِجابٍ ذلِکُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِکُمْ وَ قُلُوبِهِنَّ وَ ما کانَ لَکُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لا أَنْ تَنْکِحُوا أَزْواجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَداً إِنَّ ذلِکُمْ کانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظيماً﴿٥٣﴾ (سورة الأحزاب - آیة ۵۳)
O you who believe! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet, unless you are given permission to come for a meal; and do not wait for its preparation. And when you are invited, go in. And when you have eaten, disperse, without lingering for conversation. This irritates the Prophet, and he shies away from you, but Allah does not shy away from the truth. And when you ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a screen; that is purer for your hearts and their hearts. You must never offend the Messenger of Allah, nor must you ever marry his wives after him, for that would be an enormity with Allah.
يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِکَ وَ بَناتِکَ وَ نِساءِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ يُدْنينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلاَبِيبِهِنَّ ذلِکَ أَدْني أَنْ يُعْرَفْنَ فَلا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَ کانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحيماً ﴿٥۹﴾ (سورة الأحزاب - آیة ۵۹)
O Prophet! Tell your wives, and your daughters, and the women of the believers, to lengthen their garments. That is more proper, so they will be recognized and not harassed. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Asbab al-Nuzul
Versography
Did you Know?!
Asbab al-Nuzul [33:53]
(O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet…) [33:53].
Most of the commentators of the Qur’an said: “When the Messenger of Allah,
Allah bless him and give him peace, married Zaynab bint Jahsh,
he organised a wedding feast in which was offered dates and a mush of wheat and he
slaughtered a sheep.
Anas said: ‘My mother Umm Sulaym sent him a container made of stone.
The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, then commanded me to invite his Companions
to eat and so I did.
Groups of people came, ate and then left. I said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, I have invited
everybody and there is no one else to invite’.
He said: ‘Take away your food’. They took away the food and people left, except for three
people who stayed in the room talking among themselves.
They stayed so long that they annoyed the Messenger of Allah,
Allah 131 bless him and give him peace, who was extremely bashful [such that he could not
ask them to leave].
And so this verse was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him
peace, drew a veil between him and me’ ”.
Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Faqih informed us> Abu Umar Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Hiri>
‘Imran ibn Musa ibn Mujashi‘>
‘Abd al-A‘la ibn Hammad al-Nursi> al-Mu‘tamir ibn Sulayman> his father> Abu Majlaz>
Anas ibn Malik who said: “When the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,
married Zaynab ibn Jahsh,
he invited people to a wedding ceremony. People ate and then remained in their seats talking
to each other.
The Prophet made as if he was preparing himself to leave but people did not get the hint. He
then left the room and people left with him, except for three people who remained sitting.
When the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, returned and found them still sitting,
he went out again. When they saw this, the three men left.
I went and informed the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, that they
had left. He returned and entered his room.
I wanted to enter with him but he drew the curtain between him and me.
Allah, exalted is He, then revealed (O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the
Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time…)
up to His words (Lo! that in Allah’s sight would be an enormity)”. This was narrated by
Bukhari from
Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Riqashi and also by Muslim from Yahya ibn Habib al-Harithi; both
al-Riqashi and al-Harithi related it from al-Mu‘tamir.
Isma‘il ibn Ibrahim al-Wa‘iz informed us> Abu ‘Amr ibn Nujayd> Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn
al-Khalil> Hisham ibn ‘Ammar> al-Khalil ibn Musa> ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Awn>
‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb> Anas ibn Malik who said: “I was with the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless
him and give him peace, when he passed by one of his rooms and saw people there sitting and
talking. He then returned and entered the room and drew the curtain in my face.
I went to Abu Talhah and related to him what had happened. He said: ‘If what you say is
true, Allah, exalted is He, will reveal some Qur’an about it’.
Allah, exalted is He, then revealed (O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the
Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time)”.
Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Hiri informed us> Hajib ibn Ahmad> ‘Abd al-Rahim ibn Munib> Yazid ibn
Harun> Humayd>
Anas who said: “‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be well pleased with him, said: ‘I said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah,
the righteous and the corrupt enter in on you, why do you not command the mothers of the
believers to be out of the sight of men’,
and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed the verse of segregation (Ayat al-Hijab)’ ”.
This was narrated by Bukhari> Musaddid> Yahya ibn Abi Za’idah> Humayd.
Abu Hakim alJurjani informed us through verbal authorisation> Abu’l-Faraj al-Qadi> Muhammad
ibn Jarir> Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim> Hushaym> Layth> Mujahid who related
that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, was once eating with his
Companions when the hand of one of them touched the hand of
‘A’ishah who was with them. The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, was upset
because of this, and the verse of segregation was revealed.
(… nor that ye should marry his wives after him…) [33:53]. ‘Ata’ related that Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “One of the nobles of Quraysh said:
‘I would marry ‘A’ishah if the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, were
to die’, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”.
1- Dalia Mogahed
The US’ first Muslim woman in the White House back in 2009, Dalia Mogahed is one of Barack Obama’s ‘closest advisors’ advocating the views and opinions of Muslims across the US in the most simplistic, recognizable and agreeable way. The Egyptian born advisor holds her title as a renowned speaker and writer, objective and credible in her speech and actions. What puts her in the top 10 of 2015 is her competitive passion even until this day. With the current events regarding western involvement in the Middle Eastern conflicts, governmental influence on our lives is now bigger than it has ever been and to have a Muslim woman influence a part of this is an achievement.
2- Ibtihaj Muhammad
Who thought Muslim women would take their turn in fencing? Meet Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first female Muslim American fencer in the world. Her achievement seems to extend beyond her muslim identity: she is also ranked as one of the best female fencers in the world, reserving her place as an Olympian in the upcoming Olympics; “It’s always been my dream,” Muhammad remarks. Just this year she has gathered several awards for her performance and skill, and also an award as one of the top 10 Muslim women of 2015. En garde!
3- Tawakkul Karman
Meet the Iron woman; Tawakkul Karman: a journalist, politician, and a human rights activist as well as one of the 10 Muslims that has won a Nobel Peace Prize. Her face is stapled to the 2011 Yemeni Uprising and is also known to have co-founded “Muslim Journalists Without Chains”. She became the first Arab woman and the second Muslim woman to win a Nobel Prize and the second youngest Nobel Peace Laureate to date. No bad, don’t you think?
4- Carolyn Walker
Aside from Donald Trump’s comments on stopping Muslims from entering the US, the US judiciary system seems to welcome more acceptance thanks to Judge Carolyn Walker: the first judge to swear upon the Quran rather than the Bible whilst wearing a hijab! Congratulations, your honor!
