hijab / magic

Walaikum Salam wa Rahmatullah

Welcome to Islamicity.

Sister, here are ayahs and hadiths concerned with hijab.

�And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent , and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband�s fathers, or their sons, or their husband�s sons, or their brothers or their brother�s sons, or their sister�s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful�

[al-Noor 24:31] 

�� and not to show off their adornment��. The general meaning of this phrase includes the outer garment, because if it is decorated it will attract men�s attention to her.

�O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves}. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful�

[al-Ahzaab 33:59]

It was narrated from Safiyyah bint Shaybah that �Aa�ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) used to say: When these words were revealed � �and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)� � they took their izaars (a kind of garment) and tore them from the edges and covered their faces with them. 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4481. The following version was narrated by Abu Dawood (4102):  

These were the ayaat from Qur'an. I wish you also explain your daughters that hijab in no barrier for us. We can move around with confidence and safety. Infact women in hijab are respected. Show them pics of many women who are revert and are in hijab. Also stress them over importance of following the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. A muslim shud submit his/her will to Allah swt 's command.

Also, read few poems at our section {Poems,literature}, dealt with hijab. Insha Allah, shall provide those links.

Regarding magic. Sister, no form of magic is allowed in Islam. Yes to deal with the magic, if we are affected, we are to treat it with ayaat of Qur'an and the duas suggested thru hadiths.

I just shared few poems . Am unable to share that link now, as i exceeded the limits of posts today. Insha Allah, shall sign in later and share

Shukran Jaziilan. I am going to visit the poems. I know that my family loves Allah but they dont seem to get that they have to show it in certain areas that may not be so easy for them. I feel like a hypocrite because I left the deen but I feel so incredibly blessed and loved on by Allah to be back. Its like i am on fire now and i cant do enough to please Him. I am truly looking forward to Ramadan. I may need to slow down and not push things but my heart really hurts to see that they are being deceived and dont realize it.

*24:30-31 Dressing modestly, therefore, is a trait of the believing men and women. The minimum requirements for a woman's dress is to lengthen her garment (33:59) and to cover her chest. Tyrannical Arab traditions have given a false impression that a woman must be covered from head to toe; such is not a Quranic or Islamic dress.One should also avoid wearing tight fitting clothes as it reveals the details of the body.
