=====================
Sara describes making the decision to wear the hijab when she started secondary school. She talks to her friend India about how it made her feel nervous, but they both soon got used to it. Many Muslim women wear a hijab (the word means “veil”), symbolising modesty and respect for Allah, and many Muslim men dress modestly to pray too. For Sara, it is a sign of commitment and pride in her faith. From the BBC Series My Life, My Religion: Islam.

This clip is from My Life, My Religion: Islam. A series in which young people explore what it means to be Muslim.

=====================
Teaching Religious Studies?

Children are often very interested in the outward symbols of Muslim dress, and the hijab is a prominent sign of identity in Britain today. While good RE should make sure that many other larger questions about Islam are addressed too, pupils take an interest in this. It’s not a good plan to make ‘what women wear’ too strong a focus in this work on Islam, but note that for Sara, religious and personal reasons are explained well, and her own choice in the matter is rather to the fore.

This topic is relevant to KS2 Religious Education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Religious Studies in Scotland.
