Sheikh Khalid Yassin was asked by a non muslim sister on a very common question that lingered around most of the non muslims." Why women in Islam have to cover themselves ? Why should they wear hijab? "

And the sheikh did not give her any evidence from the Quran but rather answered her with a very beautiful answer.He said " Muslim women wear hijab because We protect our women more and better than the diamnonds and pearls ".It is answered bil hikmah.The non muslim women then took a decision to try wearing  hijab after that,just for a day.She wore niqob the full day.Then,after the day of trial ended,she concluded a thing.She said that she felt respected and everybody in the street seemed to lower their gaze.She told that she had a transaction at counter and it was attended by a man.And she said,surprisingly,the man did not stare at her ( as usual,maybe ) and treated her politely and lower his gaze. At last,she embraced Islam =)

So,dearest sisters...let's take this example as a reminder to us by how a non muslim women embraced Islam because of hijab =)
