Islam prohibited women to be Unveiled....why?

Are there any harmful effects on women if they used to display parts of the=
ir body? Let us read.........
According to the latest figures, the incidence of melanoma, a potentially f=
atal skin cancer, is increasing dramatically. It is currently the most comm=
on type of cancer in young women between the ages of 25 and 29.
Researchers believe that sun exposure plays a significant role in the devel=
opment of melanoma. According to Dr. Diane Berson, an American dermatologis=
t says "intense sun exposure prior to age 20 may be more of a significant r=
isk factor for skin cancer than sun exposure past the age of 20. Three or m=
ore blistering sunburns early in life, or three or more years of working ou=
t of doors, (e.g. camp counselors or lifeguards), without protection, can i=
ncrease the risk of skin cancer by more than three times."=20
Another study held from 1973 to 2004 found that the rate of new melanoma c=
ases in younger women had jumped 50 percent since 1980, but did not increas=
e for younger men in that period.
"It's worrying," said Mark Purdue, a research fellow at the National Cancer=
Institute, who led the analysis published in the Journal of Investigative =
Dermatology. "What we are seeing in young adults right now could foretell a=
much larger number of melanoma cases in older women." he said.
"One possible explanation is increases among young women of recreational su=
n exposure or tanning bed use," Purdue said. "Both of these things have bee=
n identified as risk factors."
Statistics say that 62,000 melanoma cases are diagnosed each year in the Un=
ited States, and more than 8,400 people die from the disease, according to =
the American Cancer Society. Previous studies have shown that the rate of n=
ew diagnoses has been increasing among adults overall.
Woman's dress in Islam
According to religion of Islam woman should only display her face and palms=
of hands in front of foreigner men (indoor and outdoor) and more than that=
is prohibited.
Allah Almighty tells prophet Mohamed peace be upon him to order women to do=
the following: (And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from loo=
king at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal se=
xual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is ap=
parent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hand=
s or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to d=
raw their veils all over Juy=FBbihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and=
bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or the=
ir fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's s=
ons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or =
their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Isl=E2m), or the (female) slave=
s whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or =
small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp th=
eir feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you =
beg All=E2h to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.){ =
S=FBrat An-N=FBr - The Light -verse31}.
Also prophet Mohamed peace be upon him says in the right Hadith about some =
indications for the imminence of day of resurrection that "there will be wo=
men who are dressed and naked at the same time, who are reeling while walki=
ng and their heads are like the top of the camel, those will not enter the =
heaven or even smell its smell" [narrated by Abu- horraira]
Muslim women who are veiled believe that their body is valuable so it shoul=
d not be as a commodity that is exposed to everyone to evaluate.
Conclusion
The great religion of Islam doesn't approve any practice that may cause any=
harm to both men and women , therefore Allah Almighty and His prophet Moha=
med peace be upon him order women to be veiled because woman's veil defini=
tely respects woman than exposing her parts in front of everyone.
Also, Allah Almighty didn't order women to be veiled and ordered men to do =
what they want but He Almighty orders men also to respect women by not to l=
ook in their parts because that is purer for them so that Allah Almighty te=
lls the prophet to inform men to:(Tell the believing men to lower their gaz=
e (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from=
illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-A=
ware of what they do.){ S=FBrat An-N=FBr - The Light -verse30}.=20
