O children of Adam, wear the clothing/garments of righteousness to protect yourself and practice Haya (modesty).

The Hijab of the Muslim woman has a quality that comprises of Haya (modesty). Haya is what proceeds from Iman (belief).
My dear sisters in Islam, know that these women who beautify themselves for the world to see possess no Haya; thus, they are void of any Iman. Instead of looking to the latest fashion models for guidance, you, my dear sisters, must look to the wives of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him). Look at the extreme amount of Haya that ‘Aisha bint Abu Bakr possessed even in the presence of the deceased:
‘Aisha said: “I used to enter the room where the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) and my father (Abu Bakr) were later buried in without having my garment on me, saying it is only my husband and my father. But when ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab was later buried in (the same place), I did not enter the room except that I had my garment on being shy from ‘Umar.” [As-Samt Ath-Thamin Fi Maniqib Ummahat Al-Mu'minin . Al-Hakim brings a similar narration which he says is "good according the conditions of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim"]
Instead of practicing the Hijab (covering), the women of the Kuffar (disbelievers) practice As-Sufur. As-Sufur means to expose or to un-cover. As-Sufur is sinful as it leads to At-Tabarruj (i.e. to make a dazzling display of oneself). Displaying oneself is a attribute of one who is Jahil (ignorant). Allah says:
'And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves (At-Tabarruj) as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance." [Sura Al-Ahzab, 33:33]
Allah the Almighty also says:
"O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember." [Sura Al-Araf 7:26]
