Salam!! Pls read the ayat no.59 of Surah al-Ahzab. The translation is given in brother Shah's article. If you do what is ordered in it, then you'll find that in that way your face gets covered too. So, it means Allah ordered His Prophet to tell the women of Islam to cover their faces. And, The face is the centre of attraction. It is the face from where everything starts. Hope you understand...

It is recommended to wear Niqab by many Islamic scholars but not covering your face and hands is permissible. I have a couple of friends whose parents are learned in these matters according to them it is compulsory for a woman to dress herself modestly and decently and cover her hair with Khimar or herself with Jilbab but Niqab is not compulsory . The issue of Niqab being compulsory is a very controversial topic. I hope the link below clears your doubts:
