Hijab is one of the most famous words in the current world. Some use it for distinction, some for slander whilst most do not know what it means. The word Hijab is generally accepted as a veil that women wear to cover their hair and sometimes even the face. The Muslim clerics propagate it as a way of life for women dictating her behaviour, conduct and dress code. This concept is not a Quranic teaching but a later development by humans.
The word Hijab is cited many times in the Quran and never as a veil or headscarf.
And between them is a “Hijab”, and on the elevated platform are men who recognized others by their features. And they called out to the dwellers of the Paradise: “Peace be upon you!” They have not yet entered it, but they are hoping. – Quran 7:46
And we place “Hijab” over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Qur’an alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion. – Quran 17:46
So she took a “Hijab” to separate her from them, so We sent Our Spirit to her, and he took on the shape of a human being in all similarity. – Quran 19:17
You who believe, do not enter the homes of the prophet unless you are invited to a meal, without you forcing such an invitation. But if you are invited, you may enter. And when you finish eating, you shall leave, without staying to wait for a narrative. This used to bother the prophet, and he was shy to tell you. But God does not shy away from the truth. And if you ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a “Hijab”. This is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not for you to harm the messenger of God, nor that you should marry his wives after him. This is indeed a gross offence with God. – Quran 33:53
He said: “I have enjoyed materialism more than I enjoyed the remembrance of my Lord; until it had set beyond the “Hijab”!” – Quran 38:32
And they said: “Our hearts are sealed from what you invite us to, and in our ears is a deafness, and there is a “Hijab” between us and you. So do what you will, and so will we.” - 41:5
And it is not for any human being that God would speak to him, except through inspiration, or from behind a “Hijab”, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills with His permission. He is Most High, Wise. – Quran 42:51
Could the word Hijab in any of these verses ever be translated as a clothing or lifestyle for women? These are usages of the word in the Quran. The word “Hijab” is always used as a barrier, only contributing to these sentences as behind a barrier, beyond a barrier, or a separation. The verse 17:46 speaks of a barrier over their hearts to connote blindness whilst verse 19:17 talks of Mary who left the family and distanced herself from them where the word Hijab connotes measure to put up separation from someone.
If the HIjab is such an important matter in a womans life as a lot of people (Not all) assess, why doesnt the central criterion of theology in the religion of Islam not have one sentence with it? Specifically "Hijab".
