SOON OUR JILBAB WILL BE REJOICED

This book offers an empathetic perspective on women’s choices and the hijab. Its message is clear: wearing a hijab should be a decision made for oneself, not to meet anyone else’s demands. More than that, the hijab—in all its forms—should provide freedom and peace to its wearer.

The hijab stands as one of the symbols of gender equality in Islam. Rather than representing concealment, it is a symbol of openness. After all, isn’t openness about the mind, not the body? A Muslim woman is open-minded when she learns, works, and engages with others. In this book, Kalis explores the hijab in a way that is both comprehensive and relevant.
