Abstract: The veil and its misconception by the many feminists and Western Media have been misconceived as such people have no deeper understanding of the Holy Quran and Hadith. The text of the Quran is either not understood rightly or it is more often misinterpreted while this is to say that the (ayahs) that according to jurists are specific to the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) in the matter of veil. It is an established notion that the veil was stressed for the identity of Muslim women which is a major problem for the west nowadays. A hot debate has been underway that the unveiling of Muslim women is a struggle against their beliefs as Muslim or it is the subversion of their identity. The tide of imposing ban on veil in the west (France, Belgium, Italy and Germany) has generated a hot debate whether one cannot practice his or (her) religions according to her beliefs or is it not something ridiculous that a Christian, Jew or atheist would teach a Muslim how to practice his or her religion. The most important question that, the western believes of democratic pluralism is under threat after making such prejudicial legislations that target specific religion.
