Importance of Hijab in Islam.... One day Prophet Muhammad (saw) was sitting in the house of his daughter Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A) when they heard a knock on the door. The housemaid comes to Prophet Muhammad (saw) and says: "Oh! Prophet of Allah (saw) your companion Abdullah ibn Umme Maqdoom (who was blind) has come to visit you." Prophet Muhammad (saw) immediately told the housemaid to let him in. In the mean time his daughter Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A), chief of the women of the world and head of the women in Paradise, gets up to go to her room. Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A) and Hijab (Islamic dress code) for womenProphet Muhammad (saw) questions her "Oh! My daughter Fatima, where are you going?" Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A) replies: "Since your companion (Sahabi) is coming to see you I am going to my room to observe my Hijab from him." Prophet Muhammad (saw) replies: "But my daughter Fatima the companion of mine is blind and cannot see you." Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A) replies: "My father, he cannot see me but I can see him thus I must go inside." This is not to say that Prophet Muhammad (saw) was not aware of the matter but this question was posed to inform the women, whose chief is Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A), of the importance of Hijab. And that it is not sufficient to think that we are capable of controlling our desires and will not think or look badly at someone. Who can say that Nauz Billah (God Forbid) Lady Fatimah Zahra (R.A) could not have had such a control on herself and yet she followed the Shariah (Islamic Law) very strictly. Islam considers the protection of the dignity and character of women for their happiness
