Introduction
v It is important to distinguish between what Muslims wear and what has come to be defined in the literature and the market place as "Islamic fashion."

v What counts as Islamic or not is a matter of considerable debate amongst Muslims.

v Whilst many consider modesty an important Islamic virtue, how this translates into particular styles of dress is highly variable.

v Some Muslims do not consider that their religiosity is linked to dress. They may be religiously committed but do not feel the need to express this outwardly through their choice of clothing.

CORE GUIDANCE

The IFF is guided by the following hadith i.e. that the use of a gentle, nurturing approach begets a stronger conviction:

One of Prophet Mohammed’s friends, a gambler, wanted to convert to Islam because he loved the Prophet. So he asked the Prophet, “Can I become a Muslim?” To which the Prophet replied, “If you promise not to lie whenever you gamble or drink and own up to it, then you may”. And so he converted to Islam but kept drinking and gambling and each time he saw the Prophet and was asked what he was up to, he would own up to it. Until one day, he got to a point where he felt that he could not lie anymore to the Prophet and eventually he stopped gambling and drinking of his own accord without being force.

    Imagine living in a society where your social and economic rank determined the type of clothing you could wear. Quite frankly, I would not have survived in a society that dictated what I can or cannot wear. I would feel suppressed, as if someone was taking away my freedom. I strongly believe that what we wear defines us more than we think. In other words, fashion is an expression of who we are as an individual. However, this was not the case during the medieval period. The clothing in medieval Europe was dictated by the Pyramid of Power or a feudal system. Fashion during the medieval period was not just only about clothing, rather it dealt with economic…

    In the Islamic culture, women are supposed to dress modestly. When I was in Bangladesh, many women wore the cultural Bengali clothing, which is called a salwar kameez, with the option of covering their heads with hijabs, or wearing burqas. I even saw some girls who dressed like modern American women, not covered up at all, though they did get dirty looks around them. I realized it was due to the Bengali culture women were dressed in salwar kameez’s, and not because of religious reasons. It seemed…

    “Garments were arranged to display the patterns and quality of fabrics on all layers and add bulk to the body image. The more former the occasion or higher the status of the weaver, the more layers worn, with richer materials further indicating wealth.” Explained in Charlotte Jirousek article Islamic Clothing. Wearing the hijab was crucial while in public due to the exposer of the body. Any woman that was unveiled was viewed by men as a naked woman. Women should be covered to protect what is considered the men’s property at all times unless around immediate family in their homes. That is why “Women wear the Hijab around strangers (especially males) that they do not consider as part of their family. It is believed that this lessens the chance of them having bad thoughts about them, this includes sexual desires. They believe that the external part of a person is not important but what it inside.” Said in the article Why Do Woman Wear Hijab, Maureen. Women started to adapt to their cultural upbringings, they believed this was a way to keep themselves treasured. Some Islamic woman seen no harm in this, they didn’t feel as if the men dominated them, or were obeying them as their property. They felt as if all women should feel the need to be veiled so they’re not perceived as just a sex object. They would like men to be attentive to their personalities and mind not their looks. Today, women have more of a choice to be veiled. There are a lot of women who use the hijab and not the gown due to the evolving changes in fashion and liberal few points. They feel that it denies the women the freedom to decide on their own…

    Other types of head coverings that are the most recognizable include the niqab and the burqa. Both of these coverings completely conceal the hair and portions of the face but are slightly different. The burqa is recognized as a symbol of Islam around the world and wrongly associated with fundamentalist Muslim governments. A burqa is a garment that covers the body, head, and face. The wearer is able to see through a mesh panel in front of the face, but the fabric is thick enough that outside viewers cannot see the wearer’s face. The niqab is similar to the burqa because it conceals the head and body, but instead of a mesh panel in front of the face, there is a small slit that reveals the wearer’s eyes while the rest of the face is hidden by another piece of fabric. Although burqas have been required by some past extremist governments, they should not continue to be symbols of negativity for Muslim women. In order for the negative stereotypes involving Muslim head coverings to disappear, French society must understand that all Muslims do not represent terror groups or the fundamentalist side of the…

    Second, the veil is very important to Muslim women because it “often shields women from unwanted sexual advances.” Women who wear the veil often do not wish for attention and do not want their husbands to become jealous of compliments paid to their wives’ beauty at work, which is why they wear the veil. They do not want to seem as a sexual desire to men or…

    In the big cities, such as Cairo, you will see people wearing jeans and sneakers as well as more traditional dress. But clothing is generally conservative because followers of Islam obey rules that require shoulders and knees of all people to be covered.

    Religion is a set of beliefs on how the world ought to be, revealed through supernatural power and lived out as religious or secular spirit. It is different from nation to nation. It consists of: ritual activities that enforce, recall, instill, collective beliefs of a group of people, powerful symbols, and community of believers to give it a voice. By using knowledge of different cultures (symbolic and material) around the world most Middle Eastern women wear hijabs, which is the headscarves they wear that. It is tradition for a Muslim woman to wear the hijab for modesty as well as privacy, as it also represents a rite of passage (change in status) from youth to womanhood. Note that this is one of the few choices that they get, “For example girls might remove their headscarf when they came to school, or they might decide they don’t want to wear it anymore” (Adely 74). Clothing is a part of a culture that binds people of the same culture together. This refers to how symbols, help understand a particular society, such as clothing can have a sense of connection. In other words, these girls would feel like they are all connected by wearing the same thing. The modest covering represents their commitment to the culture and their respect to Abdullah. Since adolescents have a choice to when and where to wear it, that means that they want to be patriotic and they know what it means to be. As kids, people learn what they have to do every day to show they are patriotic for their country. If that means wearing their hijabs in the public eye or in…

    Dress code has become a cultural practice among most youths in the current generation, and is mostly influenced by religious ethnicities (Collins-Mayo, 2012). In this context, attire among the youths have been shaped by various social divisions. For instance, the dress code of the Australian youths is associated with multi-faith context which can be explained based on the religious ethnic diversity (Cahill, et al., 2004). Youths brought up in Muslim have different lifestyle from the youths brought up in Christianity. Muslims’ dress code is restricted to veiling and hijab for the ladies, therefore, this ethnicity shapes the way they dress.…

    The way women and teens dress is freedom of expression. I feel that they should be able to dress the way that they want to, even if certain people don't approve. Freedom of expression is something we were promised in the Constitution. Dressing how you want is self-expression, but you have to be aware of how what you wear affects the people around you. People are very quick to judge you by what you're wearing, even if they don't know you. In other countries, such as Afghanistan, Taliban women are not allowed to even show their ankles; if their ankles show outside of their burqas, they are beaten with sticks. They are required to wear burqas to prevent them from enticing men. Here in America, ladies can wear whatever they feel like wearing. People will always judge no matter what; with that being said, if a woman is comfortable in her…

    This initially sparked controversy when there was a flurry of reaction to Stephen Harper's remarks on Twitter. The most popular Islamic clothing is a hijab that covers the head-and-shoulders; piece of cloth that covers the face, and the niqab that covers the entire face with the exception of few countries like Saudi Arabia where it is the law to wear the niqab. However, it is entirely up to Muslim women whether they choose to wear it or not. This situation is best described according to Isaiah Berlin’s “two concepts of liberty” (Swift 2014, 58-60).…

    Islam is a world religion and the people who practice it are called Muslims. All Muslims share the same essential beliefs, values and God centered approach to the world. Islam is practiced by people from many different cultures. The Qur’an is the prime source of Muslims’ faith and practice, and the wording has not been changed from when it was originally transcribed fourteen centuries ago. The five pillars of Islam are the basis of a Muslim’s life. They are: • Belief that there is only one God and that Muhammad (pbuh*) is His Last Prophet and Messenger; • Prayers, which are, performed five times each day; • Fasting in the month of Ramadhan; • Charity in which a percentage of earnings is given to the poor; • Pilgrimage (Hajj) to the holy city of Mecca is required once in a lifetime if the means are available. Islamic dress may vary depending on a person’s country of birth or origin. However, it should be modest and dignified for both women and men and should not emphasize the body.…
