In this seminal work, the late Iranian scholar-philosopher \u003cb\u003eMurtaḍā Muṭahharī\u003c\/b\u003e goes beyond slogans and polemics to examine ḥijāb through history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and Qur'anic ethics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than reducing ḥijāb to mere dress code or cultural custom, Muṭahharī situates it within Islam's broader moral vision: the protection of human dignity, the strengthening of family life, social stability, and the ethical ordering of relations between men and women. Drawing on comparative history, he demonstrates that veiling and seclusion existed long before Islam-among Persians, Jews, Indians, and other civilizations-while carefully distinguishing Islamic ḥijāb from pre-Islamic and non-Islamic practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book directly confronts modern objections: freedom, gender equality, social participation, insecurity, patriarchy, jealousy, and claims of women's oppression. With clarity and intellectual courage, Muṭahharī dismantles simplistic narratives and offers a principled Islamic framework that neither imprisons women nor dissolves moral boundaries.\u003cbr\u003eAt once scholarly and accessible, this work remains deeply relevant in a world where women's bodies are increasingly commodified in the name of \"liberation,\" and where genuine ethical discourse is often replaced by ideological noise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis carefully revised English edition, translated by \u003cb\u003eMansoor Limba\u003c\/b\u003e, makes a modern Islamic classic available to a new generation of readers-students, educators, policymakers, and all those seeking a serious, faith-rooted, and intellectually grounded understanding of ḥijāb. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeither confinement nor unrestrained mixing-Muṭahharī presents a third way: principled modesty anchored in human dignity and moral clarity.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e***\u003cp\u003eObviously, this book is NOT the same, and MUCH THICKER than, the one by the same author, which has been published many years ago under the title ON THE ISLAMIC HIJAB or ISLAMIC MODEST DRESS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48160306954461,"sku":"9798791283603","price":30.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/mQ-a5jHPvK9798791283603.webp?v=1783801518","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-issue-of-hijab-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
