An Article On Modest Islamic Clothing

By Daphne Bowen


When people think of Islam what comes to mind are the endless rules associated with this religion. This is so because it is one of the strictest religions ever. It highly emphasizes the need for persons to always be decent at all times. This is mostly evidenced in the manner in which they dress and carry themselves around. In relation to this, the following is an article on modest Islamic clothing.

To start with, it is of crucial importance that the types of clothes worn are supposed to be those which reveal as little akin as possible. In fact, the only parts which should be exposed in the case of women are just their faces and hands. This is in accordance to their holy teachings and it sees to it that ladies remain as decent as possible.

One can put on clothes which cover their whole body but they become indecent and unacceptable in the event that they are very tight. They are not supposed to portray the outline of their bodies. This means that they should be very loose for both men and women hence skin tights and other similar clothes are forbidden.

One huge challenge faced by this community is the ability to remain conservative and retain their beliefs in a world which is ruled by all types of fashion trends. They are however encouraged to always put their head high and be proud of who they are, not getting swayed by people from other religions and the crazy fashions around them. Both genders are also advised to only wear the types of clothes specified to them.

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.

Another factor to consider is the habit of putting on flashy clothes. Most Muslims do not like the type of designs and colours which draw attention to them. They mostly opt for more cool colours such as blue, brown, black, among others. This is also another means of ensuring humility.

Majority of people from this community, especially the women, are usually very adapted to this mode of dressing. Their bodies become used to this with time hence they do not get uncomfortable even under the hot unbearable sun. The other factor that helps control temperatures is the fact that the clothes are usually loose giving allowance for the flow of air.

To sum up the above, most people usually term this mode of Islamic dressing as being old fashioned and boring. However, the Islam community has been able to retain it all through time in memorial and have held it close to their hearts with very high confidence.
