The hijab, according to many Muslims, has multiple uses and meanings. The hijab's symbolism is one of modesty and morality. According to Islam, the hijab functions as a shield for a woman against the lustful gaze of men. The hijab also serves as a cover to preserve the modesty and piety of the woman, as that is her main role as stated in the Qur'an. Not only is this her role in her faith, but in society as well. The Qur'an also states that the woman is the family's main preserver of honour, piety, and modesty. Thus, the hijab is an aid in which the woman can successfully carry out this function as demanded by Allah through the Prophet Muhammad
