Women’s Auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (Georgia Chapter) is hosting a program to promote awareness and understanding of the hijab. This is a ladies only event which will take place on February 20, 2016 at Bait ul Ata Mosque. The presenters at the event will be talking about the significance of hijab and the rights of a working woman who prefers to wear it.

Western media often portray the hijab as a sign of oppression. Muslim women wear hijab because Islam has strongly emphasized the concept of decency and modesty in the interaction between members of the opposite sex.

Dress code is part of that overall teaching. This means that the Islamic dress code for women does not only consist of a scarf that covers the head, the neck and the bosom it also includes the overall dress that should be long and loose. This modest dressing compels others to focus on the real personality of the woman and de-emphasizes her physical beauty. Therefore, hijab is not a symbol of forced silence or radical, unconscionable militancy.

It is simply a woman’s assertion that judgment of her physical beauty does not play a role in social interactions. To promote peace, love and sisterhood please come and attend the event on February 20, 2016 at Baitul Ata Mosque, 1800 Willow Trail Pkwy Norcross, GA from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm.
