When transliterating from Arabic to English, there are no rules for spelling, because Arabic and English have different alphabets. Your spelling is fine.
I agree with darth_maul_8065. The Qur'an says for women to specifically cover the bosoms, and that is the only guidance for her dress that is that specific. Everything else is left for interpretation. It says to lower the garment, but lower it to what point? It says to cover the ornaments, but what are considered ornaments? At the turn of the 20th century, an ankle was HOT STUFF. Now, an ankle is no big deal. As to what is considered an ornament or what hemline is considered to be short, medium or long, this is left for society to define, because the Qur'an doesn't define it.
The Qur'an says to uncover only what is apparent, but what if the neck is apparent? What if the hair is apparent? What if it's so dang hot in the Middle East, that uncovering the neck is necessary? When I was in Egypt, I couldn't see HOWWW those women could cover themselves as they did, especially the few who wore a burkha. I mean, it was mad hot! Wearing a head covering is wise, but to smother the neck in that heat, iiiiccckkkkk, how awful! I say let the women in the Middle East UNcover the neck, it's so hot that it's necessary and healthier that way!
Anyway, getting back to el hejab, the only specific regarding women covering is for women to cover the bosoms. That is specified, as also for men they must cover between and including navel to knees.
Btw, I'm not mentioning the looseness of the fabric, nor the opaqueness of it, nor am I mentioning a woman's walk... jiggle, sashay... I am only talking about what is actually to be covered. Bosoms? Yes. The rest? Up for interpretation.

Cover is not a priority even though it is mandated. The priority is faith, knowledge of Islam and observance of Salat (prayers). If the woman is assimilating the teaching of Islam properly then she will continue of what to do and what not to do
The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

There are different interpretations of the Qur'an. I think the Qur'an specifies that women should cover their bosoms, but there aren't too many details given.

Every woman has right to protect from evil eyes and evil minds.
God Almighty gave guidance how to protect, now no one can instruct her what to do.
Muslim woman knows how to act according to teachings of Qura'n and Sunnah.
