Some people claim that Hijab (Islamic covering) was introduced after the advent of Islam and that it did not exist in Arabia or outside of it before the call of Prophet Muhammad, .

　　Anyone who reads the Old Testament and the New Testament easily recognizes that the Hijab was known among the Hebrews since the time of Ibraaheem (Abraham), may Allah exalt his mention, throughout the eras of their Prophets, until after the advent of Christianity. There is repeated reference to the Hijab in many books of the Old and New Testaments.

　　· The Book of Isaiah [3:16-24] says:

　　16 The LORD says, "The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

　　17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald."

　　18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,

　　19 The earrings, the bracelets and veils,

　　20 The head dresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms,

　　21 The signet rings and nose rings,

　　22 The fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses

　　23 And mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.

　　24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth: instead of beauty, branding.

　　25 Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle.
