Details 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.

There are several requirements which must be met for both Islamic men and women. To start with, according to their holy teachings, they believe that women are supposed to cover their entire body. The only parts which should be left out are the hands and face which explains the long robes worn by these women and their thick texture to prevent visibility.

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.

One of the major challenges faced by the Islam community is the ability to remain true to their religion in a world which is changing at a very fast rate. New fashions are coming up with each new day and sometimes temptations may creep in. They are however encouraged to be strong and remain loyal to their faith oblivious of what goes on around them. Both men and women are also advised to stick to their own clothes and this usually is why men are forbidden from wearing gold and silk because they are considered to be feminine.

Most Muslims prefer to buy their clothes when they take a visit to the Islam world since there is a lot of variety. Also, some save themselves this hustle and decide to make their own garments just by sewing. The todays world however has seen more people being drawn to the online retailers where good deals can be made.

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.

Many people tend to wonder whether these people feel extremely hot during the day while they are all covered up like that. An answer to this is that the fact that the clothes are free flowing makes a lot of air to flow through them hence cooling temperatures. To add on to that, they get used to it with time.

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.
