Modest Islamic Clothing Is Important

By Andrew Morgan


It is really quite amazing how much religion plays a role in people's lives. Many standards are out there for most mainstream religions and Islam is no exception. Islam is a strict religion, but it is also very loving and accepting. The standards for clothing are a bit stricter for women than for men and, for this reason, modest islamic clothing is the standard by which they go.

When a lot of body parts are showing, it is hard for people to focus on God. One must think about spiritual things in order to connect with God. It is good for both men and women to remember this when they are in prayer at home or in the mosque. The principle applies mostly to men, however, who seem to struggle with this more.

It is very hard to maintain unselfishness in a world which constantly promotes it. Everyday one is bombarded with pictures and images of people dressed with very little on. The message is that this way of looking is a role model for what everyone should strive to look like. The pressure is great to look like this in modern society. Young girls will try to copy this image and be hard on themselves if they do not look exactly like the young woman in her swimsuit on the magazine cover.

Websites showing clothing that is acceptable in Islam are available for purchase. They can be bought on several, different websites that display clothing that is not very revealing. If you are interested in buying this way, do a thorough search online so you can find many of the selections.

Be sure to measure yourself with a tape measure with the standards that the merchant gives you. They may have them listed on their website. They may have had the clothes made in a particular way by a seamstress. This person may have used their own pattern and, therefore, their own standards of measurement which will be quite different from what you usually use when you purchase from a regular store.

It is easy to do this when you buy online since there is obviously no dressing room to try on the items. They may have set their own measurements for the clothes they sell especially if they made them themselves.

Use the color wheel to look at what colors you will like the most. Many women wear very lovely colors for their hijab, while the burka usually stays black. Be creative with this and experiment with some different ideas. You will see how the colors can accent your clothing that you wear as well. Try different colors so you have a big choice to choose from when you pick out your clothes for the day.

Children will learn from what you do and not what you say. You are a role model for what clothes you wear and for everything else that you do. Do the best that you can to be the best role model that you can. It can be hard, but just do your best.
