Simplification Of White, Red, Black And Green Turban

By Jennie Sandoval


In the Muslim faith, turbans are considered to be very significant. Particularly the green turban, because of all of the positive benefits associated with it. It is a very long and thin strip of cloth that is normally worn on the head. This cloth can is generally made of cotton or a synthetic material. Muslim men generally wear this cloth around their heads.

Men from India, Iran as well as Afghan are known to tie the head gears. As a symbol of obeying Sun nah, this group of people then have a headgear placed on their cap. This is also doing what prophet Muhammad did, thus they are in line with their religion.

Sikh men have theirs tied imitating a peaked angle. This peak angle is convenient to cover their long hair which on a normal basis do not cut in honor of their God. Kalansuwa is the name they use to refer to this particular headgear. Muslim religious leaders also tie the gears in a spherical or conical shapes.

A less common color is green. This color is believed to be the color of paradise, but is not as popular as white. In Indian culture this color is used to signify class, and on rarer occasions, profession or religious affiliation.

The most common colors mentioned by several scholars in a variety of books are black, light yellow and black. Though color is not a major element. There is a little essence attached to it. This is according to different scholars.

Wearing a green garment in a dream is believed to be a sign of peace, religious attendance as well as devotion. Additionally, this color being won by a dead person in a dream is believed to signify that the departed soul is in a good living state and that they are enjoying the fruits of their labor and good deeds while they were still alive. Generally, this color is a symbol of all the good benefits. It can be interpreted to signify compliance to the will of Allah.

Just as different colors carry meaning or association to specific groups, so does the length and material. For more formal settings, such as weddings or religious programs, a longer head cloth is usually worn. A longer one, called a Domalla, is more than 10 meters in length, where one that measures to 5 or 6 yards is referred to as a Pagri. They also have different fabric varieties. These include; Mal mal- a light weight fine fabric, Voile- A lighter fabric, Rubia- medium weight fabric.

Sun ah of Saba h is the term used to refer to the act of wearing the green turban. It is considered as the most favored head gear color to Prophet Allah. In as much as it is religious, its meaning has been eroded in the United states with stereotypes that it is a common appearance with terrorists. Regardless of this believe by the western world, the elimination of these Head cloths is far from over especially with the firm believe that this is a means to get closer to God. Religion being our backbone, the Turban wearers are as equal as those who do not dress up in them .
