Why did the tradition of covering up in Islam start?
<|assistant|>
The tradition of covering up in Islam stems from the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, as well as the cultural beliefs and practices of the time. In some cultures, covering up was seen as a way to honour women and preserve family values and morality. It also encourages modesty, ensuring that one’s private life is kept private and not to be publicly shared.
