All About The Modest Islamic Clothing

By Melissa Wilson


One of the most influential religions in the world is Islam. The followers of this religion are spread all through the world. However what mainly identifies them is their unique Modest Islamic Clothing. Clothes differ depending on the geographical location, cultures, climate, social status, tradition and resources as a few of the most common.

The Islam clothe as a way of showing their belief and values. It is essential that the clothes should be appear decent and modest, however simple they are they are attractive. The common materials used in making the clothes are cotton thus the clothes are mainly suitable for hot and humid climates. Although the clothes might seem similar they all differ from the other.

The Islam clothing is in two main categories, the fashionable and costly Islamic urban and the traditional rural wear. Urban wear mainly consist of traditional jubbahs, shirt and pant suits as well as pajamas. Rural wears are categorized into women wear that consist of the black facial cloths, Burkha for the women and the simple salwar-kurta while the men wear cotton pajamas and jubbah.

The hijab is an important garment for the Islamic women. The concept of wearing the hijab differs in different parts of the world due to the different cultures. The concept has evolved with time thus the style, importance and use has also varied. In some countries the wearing of hijabs is restricted to specific places example in Saudi Arab all women should wear it in public places while France and Turkey bans the wearing of hijabs in learning institutions.

There are different styles of the hijab depending on the religion and culture of these affected individuals. An example is Muslims in India and Pakistan wear a hijab known as burqa which is a two piece that consists of a head covering often in black and a gown. A niqaab is also added to cover the head and face and then falls to the bosom. Those in the Middle East have the abaya which is often embroidered and made from black caftan that covers the body from head to toe.

All the clothes that the women wear should be loose fitting so as to reduce the sexual attention the woman attracts. The clothing should cover up the body and ensure that the outline of the shape of ones body is not visible. The real skin color of ones body should also be hidden from sight thus the clothes should also be dark and thick enough for this purpose. Wearing shiny and brightly colored clothing is also banned. These specifications also apply to the men.

Similarly to the women, the men are also advised to cover up their heads and dress up modestly. To cover their heads, the men are advised to cover their heads using turbans or scarves with the kuffiyya as an example of a checkered scarf. However the traditions have changed with time thus most men will only wear the head coverings at the religious places.

To get an Islamic attire, you just need to check out for options from the online stores and wholesale markets. Online stores are the best option as they sell the goods at high discounts.
