This research examines the phenomenon of women converting to Islam, and the real situation of Muslim women in Islam in modern societies, more particularly in independent Russia. It will mainly highlight the several Western stereotypical views about the Muslim women and their dressing to Hijab (veil). Hijab has very often been considered as a way of oppression and restriction for the Muslim woman. Whether this or not is the truth, this research will follow the methodology of defining and analyzing several beliefs or views about the role of Muslim women in their societies and at the same time, replying critically at these views, mainly from the cultural and religious background of these Muslim women. These clarifications attempt to break the stereotype of the oppressed Muslim women by defining their own position in their communities as well as explaining their role and relation to their families. In order to gain a full understanding to the current situation about wearing hijab among Russian Muslim women, the study will present ethnic and age structure of Muslim women according to a sociological survey conducted in 2014. The research will conclude that Muslim women in Russian society, and also that of Islam has chosen to wear hijab by their own free will and without any forcing power from any of their male relatives.
