Is there any correlation of the catholic sisters habit and the hajib or muslim women clothing?

Question

and what is the origen of the habit

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yep. Check out wikipedia :

"A religious habit is a distinctive set of garments worn by members of a religious order. Traditionally some plain garb recognisable as a religious habit has also been worn by those leading the religious eremitic and anachoritic life, although in their case without conformity to a particular uniform style.

For instance, for some Roman Catholic or Anglican orders, the habit may comprise a tunic covered by a scapular and cowl, with a hood for monks and a veil for nuns; in other orders it may be a distinctive form of cassock for men, or a distinctive dress and bonnet for women. Modern habits sometimes take the form of a distinctive clerical suit for men and a simple dress suit for women. Catholic Canon Law requires only that it be in some way identifiable so that the person may serve as a witness to Gospel values, simple as a mark of detachment from vanity and greed, and becoming.

In many orders, the mark of the end of postulancy and the beginning of the novitiate in a particular religious community is a ceremony during which the new novice, having formally requested admission to the community, is clothed in the community's habit by the superior. In some cases the novice's habit will be somewhat different from the habit of a member under vows: for instance, in certain orders of women where the veil still forms part of the habit it is common for novices to wear a white veil while professed members wear black; among some Franciscan communities of men, novices wear a sort of overshirt over their tunic."

Answer 3

Women of the time of Jesus and of the time of Mohammad did cover themselves. Both religions teach modesty in dressing to women. Judaism also taught the same. What we see is that Christianity and Judaism relax religious practices as culture changes and women dress by the fashion of time. Today we see in churches women wearing skirts that are up to knees and even higher. Some wear low cut dresses that reveal some of their chest. And Churches do not object perhaps for the fear that they will stop coming and Church will loose monthly fees or donations.

Muslims never compromise religious practices for any one. A Muslim woman can not come in Mosque uncovered. If she does, she is told to cover or leave. Mosque do not require monthly fees. Donations are based on strict volunatary and Imams never relax the teachings of Islam. There are lots of Muslim women who do not cover and try to live like westerners for acceptance by society. But when they enter in Mosque they dress properly to be accepted by Mosque. It is not the other way around.

Islamic teachings are not only restricted to Mosque. All women and men are required to live by Islamic way of life no matter where they are.

the habit is supposed to represent the way they dressed in biblical times...so in a way, it is like the hajib, which has never changed since ancient times..
