a map

For those of you that need a little lesson in geography, here is a map of morocco, for the time being we are going to be in Rabat, but not for more than a week or two... Located in the northwest of Africa and touching noses with Spain, Morocco, in my own mind, is the land that brings and merges together the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
walking down the streets you see a woman completely covered, next to a woman wearing a little miniskirt.... although the former is much more common than the latter.

**Hijab is the Quranic requirement that Muslims, both male and female, dress and behave modestly. The most important Quranic verse relating to hijab is sura 24:31, which says, "And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to display their adornment except that which ordinarily appears thereof and to draw their headcovers over their chests and not to display their adornment except to their [maharim]..."**


I cannot see how a woman married to a man, will be okay dressed in this way while the husband will wear a suit, or shorts and a t-shirt, or whatever he may feel like wearing on that particular day... but it is done, and they seem to have no problem with it... so so be it.
(it does make sense if you never want to do your hair though :)
