A Christian asked a Muslim: why do your women cover their bodies and hair?
The Muslim smiled and got two sweets he opened the first one and kept the other one closed. He threw them both on to the dusty floor and asked the Christian if I asked you to take one of the sweets which one will you choose.
The Christian replied: the covered one
Then the Muslim said: in the same way that the wrapper protected its sweet from the dust the hijab protects our ladies from the sins and bad of this world.

The reason why Hijab is prescribed for women is mentioned in the Qur'an in the
following verses of Surah Al-Ahzab:
"O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women
that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when
abroad); that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such)
and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[Al-Qur'an 33:59]
The Qur'an says that Hijab has been prescribed for the women so that they are
recognized as modest women and this will also prevent them from being
molested.
