The letter published on April 04 under the heading "Hijab issue" by Ms. Cantara Wali Ruhi caught my attention. I am very happy to know that someone who had a very negative impression on the practice of wearing 'hijab' has understood the necessity of hijab for women and repented for the ignorant remarks made in her intellectual infancy.

However, more appreciably she has started wearing scurf after having studied the subject. Nowadays we see many young women at the university level wearing hijab. But quite unfortunately many of them do not understand its real value.

Everybody should know that hijab is compulsory for Muslim women.
