Abstract
Discussing fundamental problems of sexuality and its related respects could help religious scholars to find out a deeper understanding and analysis of Islamic teachings. The problem of Hijab in the Islamic teachings is investigated concerning its various aspects. In this article, the celestial reality of Hijab in the structure of the Names of Allah is analyzed. The approach of this article is intra-religious. And its typology is explanatory. After a brief study of the structure of the Names of Allah and its relationship with the reality of human being, it is discovered that the subject of Hijab, as one of the verses of Holy Quran, is the manifestation of one Name among Allah’s Names in the corporeal world i.e., the aspect of the “Hidden” Name. Its celestial meaning, therefore, is manifested in the form of Hijab in the divine law of Islam. Based on this point of view, it is clear that woman has been honored to a special perfection in the manifestation of one aspect of the Hidden (Inward). By this approach, some religious matters such as a sense of honor and wisdom of preserving the sanctuary of family in the religious law preserve a very deep meaning.
