The Advantages of Veiling
1. It is a protection for Muslim woman against the behaviour of the wicked;
2. It is an identify of the Muslim that distinguishes her;
3. It gives her an honoured position in the society;
4. It acts as a barrier between men & women to keep them away from sins;
5. It is a means for observing chastity of woman;
6. It awakens the fear of Allah in the heart of man and woman and saves them from falling in the abyss of evil;
7. It teaches man to respect the veiled woman, provide her protection from the curious persons and ensure the uplift of the high morals and social values in the society.
The Disadvantages of Unveiling
1. It is a violation of the Qur’aan and Hadith;
2. It shows woman’s weakness in belief;
3. It is a cause of temptation for men and women;
4. It strips off her modesty that is an integral part of Faith as the Prophet [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ‘Modesty is part of Faith.’ (al-Bukhari)
5. It subjects her to sexual harassment;
6. It hurts her dignity and feelings and it stains her chastity;
7. It prompts woman to take part in commercial advertisements and films as a showpiece and a source of enjoyment for the viewers.

From the above list of advantages of veiling as well as disadvantages of unveiling, you can make your own judgment whether veiling or unveiling has impacts and implications for society or not.
In my opinion, women’s dressing more or less also contributes to social problems that happen nowadays. By covering aurat properly, InsyaAllah women will be prevented from such problems.
Hopefully now you are able to make a good decision for what you are supposed to do… To veil or not to veil?? Answer it by yourselves…
