1 Urdu couplets and shers with hijaab

hijaab(m): veil

Description of hijaab: Hijaab is an Arabic term referring to the headscarf worn by Muslim women to cover their hair, neck, and chest, symbolizing modesty, privacy, and obedience to Islamic teachings on chastity. Unlike a mere fashion accessory, it serves as a religious mandate rooted in Quranic verses urging women to lower their gaze and draw veils over their bosoms. Differs from the niqab, which additionally conceals the face, leaving only the eyes
