It aims to counter misconceptions about the hijab (headscarf), muslim teens in the United States launched a project of a social experiment in which muslim women and non-Muslims were invited to try to wear the hijab in public places and share their experiences.
Project hijab launched late December 2013 this is a social experiment for women both Muslims and non-Muslims as the beginning and addressed to women around the world, such as that spoken by the stages of Majeed, leader of the project on the website "The Hijab Project."
"Try to wear jilbabmu to school, mall, or other public places, and consider the reactions that people give to you. Do you look different? "
"Whether people memperlakukanmu differently? then part your experience here. If you are new to berhijab, tell us the story of hijabmu, "wrote Majeed
"Being a muslim who lives in the US, Majeed (16) started a project to bridge the gap between the religion of Islam with other religions and the real message behind a hijab."
Through this project are expected to bridge the mulim people and non-Muslims as well as through the means of eskperimen life style culture in the US to introduce Islam as a religion.
The effect of this Project aims to underline the hijab and the muslim woman as a selection highlight prestigious status given to women in Islam. It is at once replied that the use of the hijab on women is not a force from his brother. In Islam anything that is done depends on his intentions. Islam sees hijab as a mandatory code in dress not as a religious symbol that shows the person's affiliation.
The position of women in Islam is often used as the target of the assault secular media with many citing muslim fashion (blouse) as an example of the conquests of women under Islamic law.
Islam guarantees freedom of expression for women, political participation, business and financial rights and asked the entire community for those with high self-esteem and offer them respect as mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.
Christian school students who follow the project hijab and participate in a social experiment that share their experience that wears the hijab makes them feel protected and provides them with an understanding and a different picture about Islam.
As a Muslim living in America, the gaping gap of ignorance exists between myself and others: my headscarf, otherwise known as the hijab. I pleat, fold, and fasten a piece of cloth over my head everyday before I go out, but the hijab means more to me than merely concealing my hair. In the religion of Islam, both Muslim men and women are expected to preserve their modesty, and from an Islamic point of view, the hijab contributes to the creation of a modest atmosphere. In an era where women are universally sexualized, Muslim women believe that the hijab can prevent this from happening. The Hijab Project is a social experiment that I’d like girls—both Muslim and non-Muslim—to begin. Try on your own headscarf to school, the mall or other public place, and observe the reactions that people give you. Are you looked at differently? Do people treat you differently? Then, share your experience here! If you currently wear a hijab, tell us your hijab story. A bridge of understanding needs to be built between Muslims and non-Muslims, and experiencing the lifestyle of a growing and often misunderstood culture in America is vital to shedding the lack of knowledge that many people have regarding Islam as a religion. I’m looking forward to hearing your hijab stories! السلام عليكم--[May peace be upon you]
