Why we Must covering our aurah?
First and foremost.what is meaning by 'AURAH'? AURAH mean something that we feel shame when we exposed it.In ISLAM covering aurah is compulsory to all muslims whether they are men or women..For men,they should cover their navels until their knees..and for women all part of their bodies except their face and hands.Let we see why Islam encourages their believers to covering their aurah.The main reason is to take care the muslims prides ..Besides that,when we covering our aurah especiallly women we will feel more safety from the bad person,,or anything bad around us.,hence,we will live in harmony and peacefully life.
Allah says :
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allaah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Ahzaab 33:59]
