I am slowly reading the Quran ( English translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali ) and I am sure that by the end of my reading I will have come to a different understanding of it than you.
And I have no interest in reading the Hadees.
If by "Hijab" you mean the burqa, then I will copy-paste here my post from another thread :
The full burqa with the niqab ( face cover ) is not Islami but comes from a Jewish sect. An Egyptian member of parliament, Amna Nosseir,
has researched on this and has called for a ban on the burqa :
Right, and we should just ignore the music traditions among Muslims from Africa to West Asia to South Asia to South East Asia.
Good that you are reading the Quran. It will answer all your questions, and I am sure it will bring better understanding, except, I would suggest using multiple translations and not just one. The online Quran.com has all the translations, how about you refer to it after reading arabic?
Why do you have no Interest in Hadith? The life of the Prophet (s.a.w) is a clear example for all of us and that was the reason He was sent down, to live the Quran as an example.
As for Hijab.
My understanding so far was for women to cover from head to toe except their face and hands.
However, after further exploration research and referring to the specific verses of Quran, I am fast coming to conclusion that face is also a part of adornment. It's where people look at to know how a women looks and not. It's also the place which is adored a lot nowadays with make up and make up clearly is part of adornment which can only be done for one's husband.
Hence, a niqab is definitely what Allah wanted Muslim women to be under.
I urge you to research on these topics instead of taking them lightly and borrowing your knowledge from other men and their articles.
You are responsible for your soul, not them, and as a thinking human, Allah has put it on your to do your research and educate yourself and then act on it.
Anyways, I was a bit harsh earlier, I shouldn't have been.
I have also been to a part of my life when I thought just like you do.
Then I educated "myself" out of that ignorance.
May Allah help you towards it as well
