Variations In The Modest Islamic Clothing

By

The Islam faith is famous for its many rules and regulations. In fact it is the strictest of all religions and people of this faith take it very seriously avoiding breaking any law whatsoever. A huge emphasis is placed in the way that dressing should be upheld. It should be in a manner in which it portrays discipline both the individual and the community and below are guidelines pertaining modest Islamic clothing.

Women are preferred in long dresses that cover their whole body so that they do not reveal part of their skin to the rest of the world. Some call these types of dresses long dresses, others like to refer to them as maxi dresses but whatever the name one prefers, they are the best for the Islamic religion.

On top of these maxi skirts, the tops should also not reveal any part of their skin. They are supposed to have long sleeves. The colour is not an issue hence women can put on any colour which catch their eye the most. Many people complain that they may feel heat but interestingly enough these ladies have adapted to this kind of life so they do not even complain.

During games competitions, attires worn are supposed to be those which show respect. There are some games for example tennis in which females dress in miniskirts. For the Muslim ladies, below these skirts are trousers so that they can conserve the purity of their religion and not be led into sin. Sports sweaters are also designed for this purpose.

Ladies are also supposed to put a covering on their heads. This is because it acts as distraction to men and can cause them to become lustful which is a sin. While in the house they can let loose their hair but should not be seen like this outside their homes the only men who are supposed to get access to this view are the husbands and family members only.

Men are also not left aside in this endeavor. An Islamic man is usually identified with his long robes. Inside these robes they put on ordinary trousers and shirts. Special types of scarfs called Arafat which they use to wrap around their shoulders. On tops of their heads they put on caps which they remove when they walk in the house of prayer.

Men also have some form of traditional dressing. Most put on trousers and shirts and on top of that they wear an Islamic overall which resembles a dress. They are also fond of putting on Arafat which are scarfs tied around the neck. To complete the look small hats which are mostly white in colour accompany the look.

In summary, all members of a particular faith are required to be loyal and respectful to it despite what other people do or say to try and sway them from their faith. They should put in mind that this is not done for the fear of the spiritual leaders rather it is done for the fear of the Lord.
