Conclusion
This research investigates the reasons why the Muslim community is divided on the subject of the veil and if the dominant negative perception of hijab (as the hijab being oppressive) has affected, if at all, the wearing of hijab in TSiBA Education. In the attempt to answer this question, the research has presented two hypotheses.
Firstly, the divide on the practice of the hijab exists within the Muslim community because there are different interpretations of the verses of the Qur'an where Allah commands females to over their hair.
Secondly, that the dominant negative Western perception causes some Muslim women to fear wearing the hijab and to abandon it all together as wearing the hijab could result in more oppression to females- as portrayed in Western media.
Thirdly, Some Muslim women choose to wear the hijab for spirituality reasons despite constant the pressures of the West.
