ABAYA is a part of fashion or religion its a big controversy in today's time. ISLAM is a religion in which some rules have to be followed must by every one. some special ethics are made for men, some for children and also some for women.......  

                          There is very important thing for women is to cover her. and that is a real protection for her. veil is important for women. in all ISLAMIC countries veil is must for women. but veil doesn't mean that must she has to wear abaya. in ISLAM veil is must for women and veil in ISLAM means that a woman should cover her hair with any skarf, not must abaya. cover her body with any shawl. 

                   In many ISLAMIC countries like DUBAI, SAUDI ARABIA abya is must. and now in our country every one wears abaya and named it ISLAM. but actually abaya is a fashion to now. there is no mean of abaya to cover your self but it is only fashion to now because abayas are more fitted stiched then dresses. and more expensive. abayas are same like dresses and cover with full embroidery, stones and different beats in different color . so its easy to say that abaya is a part of our fashion and culture not the part of religion...

         In QURAN PAAK there is no verse in which it is written that abaya is must for women. in our HOLY BOOK its clearly written for women that when you go out of your homes to market or any where cover your body clearly and your hair.. and also wear loose dresses not so fitted that you can cover your body...

         ISLAM is a widen religion that has some rules for every body. so we should follow of them and respect them.
