==Terminology / Usage== The Arabic word hijab ({{Langx|ar|حجاب}}) (lit. 'curtain, cloth barrier') is the verbal noun originating from the verb {{Lang|ar|ﺣَﺠَﺐَ}} (hajaba), from the triliteral root {{Lang|ar|ح ج ب}} (H-J-B), which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of hide, conceal, block.<ref>Lane, Edward William (1863), "ح ج ب", in Arabic-English Lexicon, London: Williams & Norgate, pages 515–516</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ح_ج_ب | title=ح ج ب | date=5 May 2019}}</ref> The term {{Transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ḥijāb}} was originally used to denote a partition and was sometimes later used for [[Haya (Islam)|Islamic rules of modesty]].<ref name="eogr" /><ref name="El Guindi" /> While one usage in the Quran refers to the curtain separating Muhammad's wives from visitors,<ref name="aslan" /><ref name="ahmedWomIslam">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U0Grq2BzaUgC&pg=PA55 |title=Women and Gender in Islam: Historical Roots of a Modern Debate |access-date=2013-04-20 |isbn=9780300055832 |year=1992 |last1=Ahmed |first1=Leila |publisher=Yale University Press }}</ref> other usages refers to a [[metaphysical]] barrier separating man or the world from God.<ref name="Glasse, Cyril 2001, p.179-180" /> The Quran does not use the word hijab for women's clothing, but uses other terms such as [[jilbab]] (as an outer garment recommendation) and khimar (for discussions see below) in various contexts.<ref>Sahar Amer (2014), ''What Is Veiling?'', University of North Carolina Press, pp. 25-27</ref><ref name="eogr" /><ref>Lane's Lexicon page 519 and 812</ref><ref name="El Guindi" /><ref>Contemporary Fatwas by Sheik Yusuf Al Qaradawi, vol. 1, pp. 453-455</ref><ref>Ruh Al Ma’ani by Shihaab Adeen Abi Athanaa’, vol. 18, pp. 309, 313</ref> The word in Turkish expresses an emotional state, shame, that is not related to clothing.<ref>General hicap duymak feel ashamed v. https://tureng.com/en/turkish-english/hicap</ref> [[File:Shinzō Abe and Malala Yousafzai (1) (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|[[Malala Yousafzai]], Pakistani education activist and 2014 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, choosing a loose head scarf.]]
