Notes on Islamic Clothing |
|
| |
One of the problems with having a Muslim persona is that it
is often difficult to get information on garb. In part this is because most
people writing in English are more interested in medieval Christians than in
medieval Muslims; costume books rarely have much that is useful for our
purpose. In part it is because Sunni Muslims regard the making of pictures
of living creatures as forbidden by religious law. Fortunately, the
injunction was not always obeyed.

... Why do Muslims dress in distinctive, modest
clothing?
|
 |
|
|

Muslim women are often asked: "Why do you wear that scarf?"
"Aren't you hot?" "Do the different colors mean anything?" "Why do some
women cover their face, but not others?" "Do men have a dress code as
well?"

No special clothing is worn by worshippers for religious
ceremonies. There is no special dress for the muezzin who calls to prayer,
nor for the imam who leads
prayers in the mosque and delivers a talk or sermon. Islam tends to
emphasize the direct relationship of each believer to Allah rather than
elaborating roles for human intermediaries

Islamic Clothing)? |
|
|

The word hijab in Arabic means a barrier, cover or veil, and
it's main purpose is to reduce potential agitation, desire and attraction
between men and women who are not partners or not intending to be partners.
There is also an inner hijab which relates to modesty, lowering of the eyes
and being conscious not to arouse the interest of the opposite sex. When
inner hijab is accompanied by outer hijab then the purpose is complete.

Clothing worn by all people is influenced by the climate,
available materials, and cultural traditions which include social status,
group identity, and religion.
Climate: People living in a desert environment often
covered up in loose clothing to protect themselves from the sun and to keep
cool. White clothing was coolerMalfunctioning Wardrobes
than dark clothing in the sunlight. And head coverings were important for
protection against the sun, too.
Fabrics: Five main fabrics were available for clothing.
Cotton was a cool fabric. In winter or in cold environments, clothing was
commonly made of wool. Camel hair was also woven into clothing for cold
weather. Some clothing was made from plant fibers called linen. Silk was
imported from China or Persia and was very expensive, so only the rich could
afford it.

It is not mandatory to wear Islamic clothing. As long as they
are loose and they fit a couple of other requirements, it’s all good. Each
Muslim country has their own type of clothing so we can’t say that this one
type of clothing is Islamic to the exclusion of all the other types of
clothing. So I am not advocating that it is Fardh and mandatory to don
Islamic clothing.
