What Is With Modest Islam Clothing

By Juana Gamble


How one dresses up actually says something about who he is, especially with regard to the aspects of morality and dignity. Now, when it comes to subjects like this, the Muslim dress code is one relevant topic. In the very liberated culture of this generation, theirs stands unwavered. For them, dressing modestly is a sign of respect for oneself.

Speaking of this, Muslims actually have set standards of decency in their way of dressing and this is greatly influenced by the teachings of their Quran. With this, you will see how deep their commitment in their religion is. They basically adhere to all the requirements issued in the stipulations of their Quran on modest Islamic clothing.

Actually, Islam sets a tight ruling which practically binds all of its members. If you have noticed, most Muslims really adhere to the teachings of their faith no matter how hard or inconvenient it may be for them. And you will also witness this with how they follow their dress code amidst the vanity of the world today.

Speaking of this, they actually have no standard style of dressing. They may wear practically anything but in the condition that they meet the specified requirements. The first condition is that the required covered parts of body be covered excluding the hands and the face. For women, covering the chest and the legs are stressed out since these particular parts elicit sexual provocations.

While with the second condition, it requires the clothing to be loose enough so as not to outline the shape of the body especially for women. Given this, clothes which are fitting or skin tight are prohibited since they make out the curves of the chest or the buttocks. Still, this act attracts sexual attention which is a disgrace especially for women.

Now, the third condition imposes on the degree of thickness of the cloth used to make a dress be decent enough as to conceal what it is supposed to conceal such as the color of the skin, as well as the shape of the body. So basically, see through dresses are strictly not allowed in their religion, nor is adhering to the modern sense of fashion. They are even made to cover their crowning glory.

The fourth condition emphasizes on the value of their overall appearance. In this case, they are reminded to uphold their dignified and modest position as a person. With that, they need to wear only clean clothes. Aside from that, other than adhering to the previous demands, they are also prohibited from making a scene by wearing overly colorful and flaunting dress.

For the fifth stipulation, they are not allowed to copy the way other races dress nor are they allowed to dress unaccordingly with their gender. With this, they are encouraged to treasure themselves and take pride of who they are. They must be proud that they are Muslims and that they are a man or a woman. That is why as you can see, until this time, they still did not change their mode of dressing.

They even specify the distinction between the mode of dressing for men and women. All of these rules actually came from the Quran. All it ever wanted to specify is the dignity and honor of which clothing associates to its wearer. Aside from that, they also strongly believe that a person is what he is seen through the way he clothes himself up.
