In The Name of GOD, The All Gracious, The All Merciful
Dress Code
Submission is not a dress code. There is nowhere in the Quran that GOD is commanding women to cover their head, either fully or partially.
The word “head” or “heads” has been mentioned 18 times in the Quran and never refers to a woman’s head.
To attribute covering the head of a woman to GOD and as a religious requirement is adding an extra word “head” to the Quran making the frequency 19 times which is a huge undertaking against the word of GOD.
The warning is embedded in the 19-based mathematical code of the Quran. GOD is very clear about the dress code of women as He explains it in the Quran.
24:31.
Tell the believing women to subdue their eyes and maintain their chastity. They shall not
display their beauty except what is self-evident thereof; and they shall move their scarf to their chests. They shall not reveal their beauty except for their husbands or their fathers, or their father-in-laws, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers or the sons of their sisters or other women or those who are rightfully theirs, or men who have no sexual drive or boys who have not reached puberty. Furthermore, they shall not provocatively move in order to reveal their beauty.
Moreover, you shall repent to GOD, all of you believers that you may succeed.
33:59.
O you prophet, tell your wives, your daughters and the believing women to
lengthen their garments. Therefore, they will be recognized as righteous women
and avoid being harassed. And GOD is All Forgiving, All Merciful.
Acting and dressing according to these two verses are the trait of believing women.
The believing women are already inspired by GOD how to dress according to these two verses.
Although 24:31 commands women to move their scarf to their chest, male dominated societies who did not trust their women forced them to cover their heads or their bodies to various extents.
These traditions predated Prophet Muhammad by thousands of years as one sees their remnants in Eastern European women and the Catholic nuns all over the world.
Today’s false impression of the world of a Muslim woman is the one who at least covers her head to various extents.
It is necessary to emphasize that any deviation from 24:31 and 33:59 is disobedience to GOD’s commandment and violates Submission to Him.
