Muslim scarf is known as

traditional wear for all women following the religion.
Hijab in Arabic means a curtain or a veil.
Traditionally women are compelled to wear a
Muslim scarf or
Hijab in public or in front of men who can marry them. It was considered to be a veil that would prevent men to get a look at the
beauty of another
woman. It also had a meta-
physical significance wherein the
scarf symbolizes as a veil to separate man from God.Since 1970 the
Muslim scarf or Hijab became more and more significant. Today it is not only worn as a veil but is also used as a headscarf.
