\u00a0<\/p>\n

Muslim women living in Ireland marked the seventh World Hijab Day, which aims to challenge stereotypes and shatter boundaries.<\/h4>\n

The 150-seater venue for the World Hijab Day breakfast – a hotel in Dublin’s Portobello area – was thronged, for the most part with women.<\/h4>\n

The majority were clad in ankle-length – mostly colourful – coats called jilbabs and sported hijabs of various shades, shapes and sizes.<\/h4>\n

Nobody wore the niqab, the veil that covers the whole face except for the eyes, which is very rarely seen in Ireland.<\/h4>\n

The Arabic word “hijab” means “curtain” and describes many styles of head covering used by Muslim women throughout the world.<\/h4>\n

The most relevant passage in Islam’s most holy book, the Quran, records that the Prophet’s wives were asked to cover themselves. However whether that should be taken literally or as a broader summons to women and men simply to dress modestly is a matter for ongoing debate.<\/h4>\n
