The jilbab, a term often used interchangeably with hijab, refers to the Islamic dress code that emphasizes modesty and humility. For Muslim women, the jilbab is not only a symbol of faith but also a means of self-expression and identity formation. The advent of virtual communication spaces (VCS) has transformed the way people interact, communicate, and present themselves online. This study seeks to understand how Muslim women who wear the jilbab engage with VCS, and how these online interactions shape their understanding of self, community, and identity. jilbab vcs
