In this country, you can find many religions such as Hinduism, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, and Islam in this country. But mostly people in Indonesia take Islam as their religion. However, in Islam there’s a rule, ” Women should cover some of their body parts”.
Body parts in here including hair. So, to cover their hair women will wear veil called Hijab. Hijab is a thing that Moslem Women wear, in order to cover their head part, especially hair.
Moslem Women have responsibility to cover their Awrah (or Aurat), and because of that the other men (beside their husband or men in their family) can’t see it. If the other man sees their Aurat, they (the women) will be rewarded with sins and because of that, covering your Aurat is important thing, if you’re Moslem.
In Indonesia, the hijab is being trendy because there are so many styles that teenagers created. They combine the hijab with their creativity, and the result is pretty amazing. They even made the hijab more colorful, so even the non-Islamic girls actually like it. Because of it, the hijab marketing is growing up in Indonesia. Making money rain to those who creative enough.
