Please quote where it says in Quran where you read it for sake of knowledge. Your words meant nothing on this until you support. Please do share where you read its choice wear it or not its fine
LOL I never said that wearing or not wearing hijab is a choice in personal level, it is clear that it is obligatory for woman, I only said that any Islamic government (or any one) cannot force any Muslim women to wear it, just like any Islamic government (or any one) cannot force someone to pray.
“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59).
It is clear in Quran that we are only ordered to say and tell women to wear hijab, and not to force them to wear it.
This is why prophet Muhammad never imposed women to wear hijab during his ruling. Its similar like why praying is also something that is not imposed by Islamic state during prophet Muhammad rule (and until Today)
Allah also said that
"Therefore have patience. Surely the Promise of Allah is true. And ask forgiveness for your sins. Glorify your Lord morning and evening with His praise." (Quran, Ghafir verses 55)
So if Allah say that we need to do Zikir in Morning and Evening, does it mean that Islamic government (or any one) can force any Muslim to do it ?
Similar like the verse who said that praying 5 times is obligatory for any Muslim, the verse talk about the obligation to pray to Allah, and any Islamic government (or any one) cannot force some one to pray.
It is because:
There shall be no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. (Quran, Al Baqarah: 256).
The government can only intervene where The Sharia enter public domain. Its why stealing, murdering, zina, prostitution etc are the act that must be punished in this world and because of that government must step in.
