All About Modest Islamic Clothing

By Sharon Powell


Many people have these misconceptions related to Islamic clothing especially for women. People think that this type of clothing reflects oppression of women in the Islamic society. In reality, modest Islamic clothing does not reflect oppression at all, in fact the reason behind Muslim women wearing modest clothes is to keep themselves covered for the sake of preserving their beauty.

Islamic culture does encourage women to wear hijab and cover themselves up appropriately but that does not means burka is a compulsory aspect of Islam. It is just one of the ways to cover your body nothing more than that. You can still wear modest clothing even if you don't wear a burka.

It is up to you that what sort of style you opt for. Many women prefer wearing a black burka as they think its the best way to cover themselves up. On the other hand, there are women who want to cover themselves but in a stylish way and that is quite possible.

The whole concept is to avoid wearing garments that can be a bit revealing and show off your body parts. It is totally possible to dress modestly even whilst you wear a pair of jeans and t-shirt because if your clothes are loosely fitted they won't reveal a thing which is simply amazing.

The reason why many women wear burka is because they find it a convenient option. As a Muslim woman you are free to wear garments of your choice whilst staying within the comfort of your home but when you go out, it is advised that your body is fully covered so that no one else can take a glimpse of your beauty. Therefore, it does not matter what you are wearing underneath because when you go out just wear a burka and your body would be fully covered this way.

There are online video tutorials that could help you to dress yourself in a modest way. From wearing hijab using different styles to other Islamic fashions, you would learn a lot from these online tutorials. You have the right to cover yourself just the way you like it and no one else should be able to influence this decision.

It is an unfortunate thing that women are falsely assumed to be oppressed in this beautiful religion because that is not the case at all. Women liberation is widely advocated in Islam and the reason behind asking women to cover up themselves is for their own security and safety and to ensure they remain safe from any sort of sexual attack.

Not only women, men are also asked to dress in a way that they look modest. Both men and women are treated equally in this religion and both are given the freedom to choose what they want to wear whilst considering the modest aspect. It all depends on your understanding about your religion and how you interpret its teaching in an effective and useful way because these days, Islam is being misrepresented on international stage which is very saddening.
