Earlier this month, the Muslim Student Association challenged NEIU students to wear Hijabs for one to two days. The Hijab is primarily worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty, privacy and morality, but is often mistaken as only a religious custom. While some women will wear them for religious reasons, many also wear them to reflect their personalities and different cultures. The Hijab may represent God, the power of women, happiness, and/or beauty.
