The Information Behind Modest Islamic Clothing

By Melissa Wilson


The Islam religion is one of the most influential religions in the world. The believers to the religion are dispersed throughout the world. They are mainly identified through their Modest Islamic Clothing and their rich culture. However similar their attire is, they tend to differ due to various factors with the main ones as climate, social status, traditions and geographical location.

The beliefs and religion of Islam is the main driving reason behind their mode of dressing. The attire should help them clearly express their beliefs and values while ensuring they look descent and modest. Most of these designs may look similar and simple, although they are still beautiful. To make the garments, cotton is the main material used. This makes the garments suitable for wear in mostly the hot and humid areas.

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 most important garment for the Islamic women is the hijab. With time the concept of wearing, usage, styles and importance of the hijab have changed. The different cultures also play a part in the difference of hijabs. For example in France and turkey, women are not allowed to wear the hijabs in schools while in Saudi Arabia, women in any public place should have a hijab on.

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.

To reduce the sexual attraction the woman or man draws, the clothes need to be loose. The loose clothing hides the outline of the shape of ones body from view by the public. It is also a rule to ensure that the real color of the skin should also be hidden from view. Wearing dark and thick clothes will help ensure this. In addition the Islam are also barred from wearing clothes that are shiny and bright as they tend to overpower the overall modesty.

Islamic men also have to wear head coverings and have a modest style of dressing up. To cover their heads, turbans, scarves are the main options. A common example is the kuffiyya which is a checkered scarf. With time however, the restrictions on men covering their heads has changed thus most will only cover up their heads when attending religious events or when at religious locations.

The main source of Islamic attire is online stores and wholesale markets. The online stores are the most suitable option for saving up on money as they offer the products at high discounts.
