Islam is the religion of purity and honesty and there are no mistakes in this religion. It is the religion for Muslims .It covers every aspect of life including fashion (dressing) , cleanliness ,our basic beliefs and duties and each and every order which is necessary for the Muslim to perform .So let us find the detail of fashion and clothing according to our religion which is Islam. First of all let’s look down what ALLAH says for clothing in Quran (Surah- Al- Aaraf) 26-27] O children of Adam,15 We have sent down to you clothing in order to cover the shameful parts of your body, and to serve as protection and decoration; and the best garment is the garment of piety. This is one of the signs of Allah; it may be the people learn a lesson from this. O children of Adam, let not Satan seduce you in the same way that he caused your first parents to be driven out of the Garden and stripped them of their garments in order to expose their shameful parts before each other. He and his party see you from where you cannot see them. We have made these satans the guardians of those who do not believe.16 EXPLANATION : In the light of above verses, ALLAH has given the message to whole …show more content…

  • The Biblical Antiquity and Prejudice towards Women

    606 Words  | 2 Pages

    According the Bransby and her interpretation of the Bible, there are strict rules as to how a woman should dress. Bransby believes items such as satin slacks, bikini underwear, and swimsuits are marketed to have an erotic theme and suggest sin (23). However, I believe dressing in the afore mentioned items does not suggest sin. They only allow a woman to emphasize the God-given features of her body. Woman dress according to what is in style so that they can look fashionable; they do not dress in order to sin. Bransby also states that “sexy clothes set [a woman] up for ridicule…and causes people to wonder if she’s a born-again Christian or a prostitute” (26). I think it is a bit drastic to compare a born-again Christian with a prostitute. There is quite a wide range within those two extremes. Wearing sexy clothes does not eliminate one from being a Christian. However, supposing that Bransby is “correct” in her interpretation of the Bible on woman’s clothing, the demands are still outdated. In today’s society, people often judge others on their looks. Wearing clothing that enhances looks should not be considered sinful, as long as the clothing is not blatantly baring personal body parts.

  • Persuasive Essay On The Veil

    1609 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are many different views towards Muslim choice of clothing especially wearing the veil. “I wear it believing it is necessary, but someone else can be wearing it believing that she is doing something extra” said Hamna Ahmed. One of the many reasons a Muslim can be wearing the veil are their own personal decisions too. Hamna has been wearing it for seven years now, despite her mother and three of her four sisters staying uncovered. Socially this causes an issue with the meaning of the veil and conflict with other groups. With many different consumptions of religion, what it means, what is considered to be practicing and what is not can lead to negative misunderstandings. Ultimately the decisions are up to the individuals although; there is likely to be misinterpretation between the meaningfulness of religion to family and society. On an even bigger scale of things this could also impact society and it...

  • Modest Clothing

    786 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since most people view modesty so differently, it is hard to decide what you personally consider modest clothing to be. Throughout the Bible it is clear that God wants us to wear clothing that shows that we value our bodies and will not put us into positions that might cause someone else to stumble. 1 Timothy 2:9 says “I also want women to dress modestly, with decency, and propriety.” In todays culture women will often dress in a less than modest way in order to fit in, feel good about themselves, or to seek the attention and approval of someone else. The book The Look, is an important tool that helps women evaluate how they view modesty and how their views might match up with God’s views of

  • Clothing In The Bible Essay

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    Clothing in the Bible has usually been regarded as less important when determining significance in scripture. Not to say that it is of utmost importance, but it does serve as a visual aid God uses to point people towards Himself. In fact, clothing as a symbol has never been new, since clothing has been used as a symbol consciously and unconsciously, to represent religion, class, occupation, or for practical use, such as warmth for the winter. Commonly, clothing has been used as a means to an end, whether it is to be warm, to perform some kind of ritual, to show off wealth and power, or to simply be presentable in everyday life. Clothing could also be used distinctly as a work of art. Clothing is going to have symbol, whether it is meant to or not. The question is, how exactly is the symbol of clothing portrayed in the Bible? The symbolism of clothing in the Old Testament overall represents God’s mercy to his people, Israel in His promise to always be their God. I would love to go through the whole narrative of scripture from beginning to end, but for the sake of time and our brains, Genesis is a plausible and sensible place to start, since the Judea-Christian story begins there.

  • The Veil is not Mandatory in Islam

    954 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cover yourself, wear loose clothes, so you can be respected and not annoyed by men that are weak in their faith, and that are easily tempted and as a result disrespect women instead of lowering their gaze as they were told in the Qur’an to do so. The message is to cover yourself, just like the meaning of hijab is “to cover”, pull a “curtain”. It is to cover your body and be respectful. If you go out wearing respectful clothes and not seeking attention, then men will most likely lower their gaze and show some respect. Most girls and women these days speak of men as “animals” (disgusting) as they flirt and act vulgarly, which is true at times.

  • What Is Cultural Relativism?

    Premise 1 contains many examples to back up its factuality. For instance, Muslim culture requires females, who reach puberty, to cover up practically everything from head to toe. It is deemed morally wrong for women to show their hair or skin to men for it is a means of seduction. However, in other cultures, causal wear is seen as normal and accepted without any men falling for a woman by the sight of her hair or skin. Therefore, the act of not covering one’s body is seen as right in one culture, and completely wrong in another.

  • Theme Of Women In The Lady Of Shalott

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often women in these countries are forced to wear a burqa or hijab. These traditional coverings are supposed to keep these women safe. Just like the lady of Shalott’s tower kept the lady safe yet secluded; so secluded that no one “hath seen her wave her hand [,] or at the casement see her stand” (Tennyson, 23-25). In A Thousand Splendid Suns, Rasheed often told both his wives to always keep themselves covered in burqas because he did not want other men to leer at what was his property. In that society, women are told to cover themselves from head to toe. This is due to the fact that their beauty is a distraction to men and might make them take the wrong “action.” This is not right, society should not make women think that they are a distraction or force them to wear something they do not want to wear. Society should consider if these women dress respectively then that should be

  • Muslim Women´s Hijab

    2095 Words  | 5 Pages

    Within the Middle East, the largest population of the men and women are Muslim. The Muslim religion suggests that women wear a veil or hijab, which is a head scarf that only exposes a woman’s eyes, accompanied by a burqa which is a full body cloak. The sole purpose of the clothing is to cover a woman’s feminine features from men’s eyes. The Qur’an, an Islamic scripture, supports and slightly obligates the uniform by saying that women are to be conservative, “let them wear their head covering over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments.” (Qur’an).

  • Muslim Women Rights and Requirements

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Islamic faith, Muslim women are required to dress modestly by God. In the Qur’an, God speaks directly to all Muslim women and says “...guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment (The Qur’an 24:31)”. Muslim women have to wear a hijab, or a head covering, when they are in public places and when they are around men who are not close relatives. In fact, countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar have a mandatory dress code enforced. Muslim women in these countries have to wear a hijab and an abaya, or a full-length, loose fitting garment on top of their clothes. Although God requires Muslim women to dress modestly and Saudi Arabia and Qatar have a dress code, it is entirely their choice on what they would like to wear.

  • The Relationship Between Fashion and Lifestyle

    1735 Words  | 4 Pages

    From a historic point of view, Western travelers had remarked on the slow pace of lifestyle and fashion change in Turkey and Persia. On the other hand, many people were of the opinion that the western culture is getting out of hand in terms of dressing fashion (Cumming 234). In most cases, change of fashion and dressing style took place hand in hand with economic and social changes. In the developing world, changes in fashion began with the coming of the whites in Middle East. Changes began in the 11th century when the Turks came to central Asia and Far East. In Europe, continuous change in clothing fashion is believed to have started in middle 14th century.

After the advent of change in men fashion, it was followed by changes in female c...

  • The Great Uniform Debate

    690 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin with, students should have the freedom to choose their own clothing. The schools systems should use a dress code, since this will not completely suppress one’s creativity. This plan gives students a chance to express their imagination and personality through their own clothing. Moreover, it teaches students to have their own judgment about what type of clothes are appropriate or inappropriate. What is equally important, a student’s religion. If students are religious, they should not have to break their traditions because of uniforms. For instance, some religions require students to wear special headdresses or specific articles of clothing. In other words, once uniforms are established, they cannot wear them. They should not have to ask for it to be allowed, religion is their life. Furthermore, students are able to feel more confident and comfortable in their own clothing. Having confidence is important to students because it inspires them to keep moving forward. Therefore, instead of forcing uniforms upon the students to be worn everyday, schools should enforce a dress code instead.
