Forms Of Modest Islamic Clothing

By Enid Hinton


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.

It is stipulated that women wear clothing which covers the whole of their bodies, from head to toe. Most of them wear long dresses referred to as maxi dresses. They should not be extremely fitting but are supposed to be free flowing which is a sign of self-dignity as they are meant to hide off most of the skin which is somehow associated with intriguing sexual desires.

In the event that they decide to put on tops above these skirts, they should be no different. Indecent blouses which expose their chest are supposed to be avoided and should be replaced with free flowing tops of any colour of their choice. When they put these facts into consideration then they now qualify as the perfect wives for their future husbands.

If a close observation is made during the various game tournaments, some of the attires worn are very short hence not acceptable to Muslims. To make sure that they also take part in the games, they are equipped with their own attire which includes body covering sports wears which makes them respect their faith while at the same time taking part in other activities.

Strict laws are enforced on issues to do with exposure of hair by females. As part of the dressing code, they should cover their hair using hijabs. Allowance is supposed to be left only for the face. The reason behind this is that this exposure may make men be lustful which is a sin that most women are unconsciously committing as a result of the ever trending fashion.

For an engaged lady, she is supposed to dress in hijab which cover the entire heads leaving a small portion for the eyes. It is almost impossible to recognize such a lady and this is the main agenda behind making her dress this way. It is supposed to keep other men away, meaning that she is off the market and that her beauty is only preserved for her soon to be husband.

Actions have repercussions. If people go against this dressing code, they are dealt with accordingly. Most culprits who fall under this category are ladies, especially the young ones. They do so in an effort to fight for freedom of dressing. Those who have been identified doing this have been excommunicated from the Islam faith as punishment.

In conclusion, this Islamic religion places a huge pride on their dressing code. It acts as their marker. However, there are some individuals who view this as a form of dictatorship especially for the ladies. They argue that they should be left to dress as they please. This should not be the case as if the rules of this faith bind their faithful; they should be obeyed without question.
