Information On Modest Islamic Clothing

By Daphne Bowen


The religion of Islam is greatly associated with the respect of oneself and a lot of modesty. This is mostly seen in the way in which they dress. There are several standards set on the type of clothing one should put on and this varies across the Muslim world in terms of design and colour. The following are details on modest Islamic clothing.

The first and very important rule is the fact that both men and women are supposed to dress in clothes which cover their entire bodies. In fact, according to their various teachings, the only parts which are supposed to be visible to the public for women are only their faces and hands. This is mainly to avoid being indecent and putting men into temptation.

Secondly, the rules strictly forbid tight clothes. These are those which expose the general outline of the body. This is considered wrong because it will attract the wrong type of attention. Individuals are supposed to wear loose fitting clothes which cover their whole body and this applies to both for men and women.

All Muslims are encouraged to embrace who they are. This means that they are supposed to be proud of their religion and identity. At no one time are they allowed to imitate the ways of life of people from other faiths around them. Men are advised to dress as men and women not to wear mens clothes. This is the reason as to why men are forbidden from wearing gold and silk because they are considered feminine.

Most of these attires are purchased when traveling to the Muslim world. For others, they prefer sewing their own clothes in the comfort of their homes which is not very tiring as the designs are usually very simple. With the modern days however, online shopping is gaining fast recognition and individuals are able to get in touch with various retailers from all over the world.

Most of the clothes are usually not flashy. This is to avoid unnecessary attention. Majority of people from this religion prefer to dress in earth-tone colours such as green, grey, blue and the usual white and black. These however vary across the Muslim world as some countries do not really mind about the colour or the type of fabric used.

Majority of people wonder whether individuals from this religion are extremely comfortable with what they wear. This is due to the fact that Muslims, especially women, are usually all covered up even under the hot scorching sun. They would be amazed to find out that these people are usually adapted to this hence it's not a big issue to them. In addition to that, the clothes are usually loose fitting meaning that they allow a lot of fresh air to flow in.

In summary of the above, the Islam community has set various rules and standards which pertain modest dressing. This is a tradition which has been passed on through many generations. Despite the fact that other people term this as boring and out of date, Muslims usually hold on to these traditions and are not easily swayed by other people.
