یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِّاَزْوَاجِكَ وَ بَنٰتِكَ وَ نِسَآءِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ یُدْنِیْنَ عَلَیْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِیْبِهِنَّؕ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: O Nabi! Command your wives and your daughters and the women of the Muslims to cover their faces with a part of their headgear.

In part 18, Ayah 31 of Surah An-Noor, it is stated:

Though, situation is very painful and the Islamic sister who wears a full Islamic veil is always faced with a severe tribulation; but she should not lose hope. Starting a heated debate or arguing with anyone who ridicules you or objects to your clothing could cause a lot of damage. This kind of attitude could make a situation worse instead of better.

In order to comfort your heart in such circumstances, think to yourself       that until our Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم announced his Nubuwwah, he      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was respected by the evil unbelievers who referred to him using titles such as ‘Trustworthy’ (Ameen) and ‘Truthful’ (Sadiq), but as soon
