Shutters, curtain or veil are terms which refer to a media for covering, shutting; i.e. clothing, stone, wood, or anything can block the eye sight. In Al Qur’an, having shutters means to cover or shut with such media mentioned. A shutter or cover (jilbab and purdah) is used to cover anything forbidden to see; which is considered private; not publicly viewed; for example, woman’s body and face are private parts for “other men or boys” (in Islam ajnabi . One thousand five hundreds years ago, when the command of having shutters for women was issued, all faithful women who didn’t cover their face or their whole body ran as fast as she could to get shelters; hiding behind the tree, the rocks or even cutting their windows curtains into pieces to cover their faces. Shutters or covers (wall, curtain)in Islam are also used to make mother and father’s private activities become more private and secret. So that, the children could not whatever their parents do during the night and taking nap times. In Islam, it’s considered polite to make a groups based on the activity. There will be a group which is learning Al Qur’an dan Hadith, one which is performing shalat and dzikr or a group which is preparing journey for any religious affairs. Those groups must have shutters or cover each others. Hence, it’s rude to shout or call somebody who is in a group from outside or other groups. Similarly, it’s impolite to talk or have a chat with our friends in a group while a discussion or lectures is in sessions. Shutters or coves are also used to cover ourselves from others while having personal needs, such as pass urinate. Being naked or open for any private activities we are doing bring us to very low level, or even lower than the animal rank. What makes the human different from the animal? Eating, drinking, sleeping, having sex? Actually, the human will be different from the animal if she or he uses his or her intellectual and feeling to be more civilized; creating good norms and etiquette. So that, there will be etiquette of eating, sleeping etc. But, all depends on you. Being civilized human or barbarous animal is your choice.
