Facts About Modest Islamic Clothing

By Dorothy Walker


One of the most widely practiced culture in the world is Islam. It is renowned for its strict regulations in their attire and mode of worship as well. However, these regulations differ with the different factions within it and which most are considered to be lenient enough. This article details elements in modest Islamic clothing believers are expected to take heed of.

Men are supposed to check on haram practices. Anything against their teaching is regarded as haram. Men, in particular, are required to avoid silvers and silk which are meant to be worn by females as decorations. Their underneath attires should be done tailored above their ankles. Having them at that position indicates their humility since they will not be easily soiled. It is believed one who intends to soil their clothing does this out of pride knowing they have different garments to change to.

Clothing is done with the right intentions, and there must be no imitation of other members. It is against sharia laws to put on attire which depicts wealth or undermines your fellow brother capabilities to afford a similar garment. One is expected not to imitate non-Islam or wear something similar to the female believers.

Women are expected to wear clothing that conceals most of their body parts. It is haram for a female Muslim to expose their body, especially to their non-Muslim members. Conservative factions have gone to the point of limiting them to dark attires made from heavy materials. Others only regulate to lose hijab which does not show off their covered body but is no strict to their colors or decors.

Head dresses differ depending on the faction. Conservatives prefer the burka and niqab which completely conceal their head. Burkas have gone to the point of leaving a mesh on the head gear where the woman can look through. Niqabs, on the other hand, are simple covering that leaves the eyes region open. For chadors and hijab, women expose their face, but chadors are the extension from their cloaks meant to cover their head.

There are no defined rules regarding their underneath dress, but one is simply expected to cover their body parts. One can only expose their bodies to their close male relatives and children who are have not yet reached their puberty. This consideration is strictly meant for females and males within non-Muslim members.

All the same, these regulations have changed depending on western countries laws. Most have banned the use of niqabs and burkas since they conceal faces which they expect them to be exposed for security purpose. Others have intermarried with other cultures although it is greatly discouraged but have managed to adopt into new ideologies as well.

Change of their fashion does not mean they have completely adopted the western culture. They have only adjusted their fashion in a manner that it still maintains its expectation. Men wear simple but decent western clothing with which identifies them as Muslim. Most women have maintained the traditional head cover with scarfs, but they can afford to wear a loose, casual wear which is equally relevant to the regulations.
