1         Introduction

This topic of dress code for women in the Qur’an is an important one as it is under relentless attack by liberalists in the Qur’an movement.  It has become almost a matter of fact among those in the Qur’an movement that many aspects of clothing regulations that Muslim women have followed over the centuries are wrong.  So the idea of a head cover is outright rejected, as well as the wearing of a robe (jilbab).  What we are left with are vague, self-serving manipulations of the guidance of Allah.

As I will show in this article, this liberal view is blatantly wrong.  So wrong in fact that I would say that any authors in the Qur’an movement who have promoted such a view are immediately disqualified from serious consideration for the simple reason that they have demonstrated that their biases have trumped the revelation of Allah. 

This topic is a valuable litmus test for liberalism and ideologically biased authors.  A similar litmus test is on the topic of evolution in the Qur’an.
