Today
when
I
returned
from
my
job.
I
was
tired
and
put
my
bag
on
the
floor.
Took
my
iPhone
to
check
Facebook.
Suddendly
I
saw
a
post
from
KHATERAT
AN
SHABI
BARANI
(written
in
Dari),
3
photos
of
the
ladies
with
different
types
of
head
coverings
shown
in
the
photo
below
:

Hijab,

to
Afghan
hijab
and
3
is
equal
to
Arabic
hijab
So
the
question
arise
that
what
is
a
Hijab
?
The
most
likely
answers
will
vary
from
that
of
a
woman
wearing
a
head
scarf,
a
veil
or
a
loose
outer
garment.
Hijaab,
however,
in
the
sense
that
it
has
been
used
in
the
Qur’an
and
Hadith,
has
a
far
wider
meaning.
But
here
in
this
article
I
have
just
considered
what
is
mentioned
in
the
Quran.
On
the
photo
the
question
is
‘
You
favour
which
Hijab
1,2
or
3?’
I
personally
answered
1
as
did
many
of
the
commentors.
I
took
interest
in
taking
645
commentors
to
see
the
results
on
who
likes
what
and
what
do
they
want.
I
gathered
the
data
and
put
it
in
the
spread
sheet
to
have
its
result
presented
graphically.
The
graphs
shown
below
are
shown
with
the
total
numbers
of
votes
for
each
of
the
pictures
and
then
the
percentage
is
also
calculated.

In
the
graph
above
you
see
that
49,7
percent
of
the
people
voted
for
the
Hijab
mentioned
in
Holy
Quran.
As
depicted
on
the
graph
for
Arabic
style
of
Hijab
which
represent
23,8
percent
of
people
voted.
The
Afghan
style
or
Chaderi
represented
20,
6
percent
of
the
votes.
Moreover,
we
had
a
group
of
people
who
liked
non.
This
strata
of
voter
includes
5,7
percent
of
the
votes.
The
data
was
also
presented
in
numerical
form
in
the
graph
below.

Figure

Representation
of
data
based
on
its
number
of
voters
In
the
graph
above
you
can
observe
that
within
645
votes
that
I
chose
from
1
to
645
out
of
2450
votes
without
considering
the
gender,
language
and
the
way
of
presentation.
In
this
graph
the
total
votes
for
Islamic
Hijab
(
in
the
picture
the
first
from
the
lift)
counts
for
320
votes.
The
second
highest
votes
were
counted
for
Arabic
Hijab
which
are
154
votes.
In
third
position
the
votes
goes
to
Afghan
Hijqb
or
Chaderi,
the
middle
one
in
the
picture
represents
133
votes.
In
contrary
to
the
aforementioned
votes,
there
is
one
new
group
which
is
voting
for
no
Hijab.
This
number
of
votes
is
only
37
votes.
