By Juana Gamble


When it comes to honor, sexual reputation always has a big role especially in conservative and principled countries. As to the matter of dressing when it comes to dignity and morality, the most distinguished icon are the Muslims. Having set the trade mark of modest clothing, they have unconsciously promoted their culture and tradition.

Speaking of this, Muslims actually have set standards of decency in their way of dressing and this is greatly influenced by the teachings of their Quran. With this, you will see how deep their commitment in their religion is. They basically adhere to all the requirements issued in the stipulations of their Quran on modest Islamic clothing.

Actually, Islam sets a tight ruling which practically binds all of its members. If you have noticed, most Muslims really adhere to the teachings of their faith no matter how hard or inconvenient it may be for them. And you will also witness this with how they follow their dress code amidst the vanity of the world today.

The first requirement which Islams observe concerns which parts of the body should be covered. Very contrary to the modern culture implied by fashion right now, Muslims tend to cover all the parts of their body except for the face and the hand. Most especially, this rule applies to women whose body parts serve to be an attraction and sexual stimulants.

For the second stipulation, it requires that dresses be loose so that the shape or the outline of the body would not be revealed. With this, any clothing which is can make out the outline of the body is prohibited. Basically, tight fitting clothes can reveal the curve of the chest, the waist, the butt, and the legs which will basically attract attention.

Now, the third condition imposes on the degree of thickness of the cloth used to make a dress be decent enough as to conceal what it is supposed to conceal such as the color of the skin, as well as the shape of the body. So basically, see through dresses are strictly not allowed in their religion, nor is adhering to the modern sense of fashion. They are even made to cover their crowning glory.

Now, the fourth requirement for the Muslim dressing is the overall appearance. In this specification, the Muslims are reminded of what is a dignified and modest clothing in a detailed demand. These specifications are that the material be not shiny and flashy. In other words nothing in the realm of glittering, overly fashioned, or very colorful dressing is allowed.

For the fifth stipulation, they are not allowed to copy the way other races dress nor are they allowed to dress unaccordingly with their gender. With this, they are encouraged to treasure themselves and take pride of who they are. They must be proud that they are Muslims and that they are a man or a woman. That is why as you can see, until this time, they still did not change their mode of dressing.

They even specify the distinction between the mode of dressing for men and women. All of these rules actually came from the Quran. All it ever wanted to specify is the dignity and honor of which clothing associates to its wearer. Aside from that, they also strongly believe that a person is what he is seen through the way he clothes himself up.
