Don't be fooled by what you think. The hijaab is the divine command of the Most High. How will a woman who disobeys her lord, obey her husband??? So pick and choose wisely where you want the piety to manifest.... Sure, character is a very important aspect for all, but so is the hijaab. The prophet never said that hijaab is not incumbant on those who lack good character. It may only take a second to wear the hijaab but it can be that second that takes you to jannah. Be wise, we all sin.... which sins can you deal with??? Yes, we all do sin, but thats not a ticket to sin further, neither is it a ticket to sin openly & nor is it a ticket to justify our sins. A woman who obey's ALLAH by wearing the hijaab, is more likely to obey ALLAH by having a good character and controlling her anger.... Don't you think so? And no body's perfect but we all have to try.... The hijaab is the identity of a muslim woman. It denotes the modesty of a female. It proclaims her obedience to her lord. It shows the world that as a muslima, her priorities are first and foremost to her lord. And anyway, hijaab and character cannot be compared, just as salaah and zakaah cannot be compared. They're both the commands of the creator - something to be obeyed! You can't justify the omittance of one by claiming that ''the other is not fulfilled.'' A woman who doesn't find it important to please her creator and please HIM will not find it important to obey HIS creation and please them.... And if she does, then its worse than having a bad character and getting angry, much - because the creation CANNOT have preference over the CREATOR. So pick and choose wisely.... Yes! Pick and choose wisely.
