Secular media targets the status of women in Islam and their propaganda against veil and so called women liberation makes situation worse. Further our women have little knowledge about criteria of Hijab.
According to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing
hijab.
1.The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered.
2. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.
3. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.
4. The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.
5. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.
6. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.

Dear responsibility resides on the shoulders of both the genders. If im not wrong Quran has also ordered the Believing men to Lower their gaze.
We men, ourselves indulge in immoral activities like pornography, we are the ones who mostly initiate extra marital relations. We men initiate zina,adultery,fornicators. We profess love to these woman ordained HARAM by Quran and Sunnah.
Our islam is not naozobillah destroyed just becuz woman dont wear veil.
Khud btao, pehal kaun kerta ha. Fatoor kiske demagh me paida hota ha? We need to analyze ourselves and fix ourselves before qualifying to enforce things on others.

My father mother sister WILL not be asked and are not responsible for my deeds. Everyone is for his own self in grave and day of judgement.

So before judging our sisters and mothers, fear the wrath and punishment of Allah when HE asks questions pertaining to our involvement with non relative females.

One SOLUTION to fix the moral decay of muslims ESPECIALLY MUSLIM MEN is to make the Quranic punishments for zina etc a law and carry it out.

Simple. Then men n women will think 1000 times before getting involved. Men will lower gaze and women will observe pardah.Guranteed.

Allah hum sab ko,especially mujhe and baki mard hazraat ko Hidayat de.Ameen!

is there any option to chat with online friends?

Well you guys have greatly evaluated the topic from its striving points... Holding my opinions wanna add some lines: "Veil- a piece of cloth not to hide me but to protect me..." i know many arguments could bubble regarding my this line that what could a cloth piece do but friends, if girls start wearing it, they'll surely notice the wonders of veil... Moreover, i dont agree that for women veil could hurdle their progress but infact my perception is that by practicing values of purdah a woman could more comfortably walk on roads and rush to their destinies... And if any woman really finds any hurdle towards her success due to her veil than i would advice her that to fail would be a better option because the success that u get by exposing urself could never be everlasting.., wo kehte hein na,"do din ki jawani, phir khali kali raat hai..."

Hamare AAQA S.A.W.W ne farmaya he,
'K aik wakat aisa ai ga jab oratain libaas pehene k bawajood nangi hon gi or wo ortain jahanumi hon gi'
Hazrat Omar R.Z ne farmaya he
'k agr kisi mard ki ghaiart ka andaza lagana ho to us ki orat k libaas se lagao'

So now its open to you,me and for every male person that how much pudecity one has...and of course all the women can analyse themselves and from their clothes that they are falling in jahanum or entering in Janat........

Well, after having gone though different strands of the video lecture of Dr Zakir Naik and an article written by Ibrahim B. Syed (the president of IRF and Professor at the University of Louisville, Kentucky), it should be authenticated to say that there are six criteria for observing Hijab as already mentioned by a fellow member in a post above. Though, covering of face and hands is not proved through any Hadith or a Quranic verse, etc. All the Hadiths (given by some so-called semi-skilled Mullahs) proving that the covering face and hands of a woman is also an obligation, are mandatory, self-fabricated and unauthentic. It is therefore a cultural option and not the commandment of Quran to cover the face and the hands. When the lady companions of our Holy Prophet (PBUH) would expose their face to others, then what more is left to say to prove the same.
Given below is a video lecture by Dr Zakir Naik to throw light on the topic under debate.

The following article is richly informative on the topic of Hijab.
Women in Islam: Hijab

As far as the question whether it is fitting for a women of the modern world to observe Hijab is concerned, in my opinion it is just a diabolical nonsense to say that women cannot move in sync with this fast-paced modern world by observing Hijab. Hijab can never hamper it in anyway.

The following link is interesting as well as helpful for the same as it carries a moral lesson for both male and female regarding Hijab.
