Women Modest Dress Example

[Sstikstof]

Can someone please give me some examples with pictures about women modest dress according to this article>>> http://quransmessage.com/articles/hijaab%20FM3.htm

[Sardar Miyan]

Quran has laid down the dress code of Muslim woman to cover extra layer of cloth on bosom but keep
face not covered but if hairdo is such which falls in category of Zeenat she has to cover but if Hairdo is
simple she need not cover. Covering up hair is Christian style. Please go to Google you will find Muslim
Woman's dress. Thanks

What about the covering the head? Does a woman has to cover her head as an compulsion or not? If not, then are these pictures can be considered as modest as per reference of the Quran? Please see the links below, Please tell me your opinion one by one,

...although if you live in a Muslim-majority country, you're going to get arrested if you don't cover.

Salaam Sstikstof,

With regards to head covering I agree with what Joseph Islam has shared in the following article when he stated that
the Arabic word ‘Khumur’ (which is usually cited in the Quran as proof for such requirement) does not simply imply a head-covering for women as commonly understood in its modern day usage. Rather its primary meaning is to conceal or to cover. A veil is an example of such covering but it is not restricted to it.

I would also like to ask the proponents of head coverings (if any are present on this forum): Why the need to cover the hair? What sexual attraction does the hair of a woman have? Are we to seriously believe that the site of a woman’s hair sexually arouses a man?

Peace.

Oops, didn't realize that the dress had a slit in the bottom. Take that away and it would be fine, I think, based on where I live.

Sister mia666 The model you have posted is not in Muslim dress as her her hair are open & her entire
hands are not  covered. She appears western Model. This can not be Muslim dress.

That is the main issue here. Do women have to cover hair as a compulsion of religion?

Actually i find it hard to understand what  a "muslim dress" is?

If i were to take up western clothing instead of arabic, would that mean i am not wearing islamic clothing?
I really don't think it is right to label a certain type of dress as either a muslim dress or not. Whatever dress you choose to wear be it a sari, a cheong sam, a gown etc, as long as it is modest enough and fits the criteria stated in the Quran, then it should be fine.


There is no need to add an islamic label everything under the sun just to make it comply with your faith. I have seen this problem in Malaysia where i reside. Islamic authorities keep on coming up with islamic this and thats just for the sake of business and making money.

There is already a low cost airline owned by non muslims which somehow or another is Syariah compliant.

I fail to see why we need a syariah compliant airline service.

There are also many other products out there that have been marketed as islamic just for the sake of penetrating the muslim communities want's and needs.

And to be blunt, majority of these customers do not really know  any better because they just choose to follow.

So why make things complicated? just wear a modest attire fitting to what God has instructed.

You are absolutely correct & I support it too. But only question is head-cover or covering the hair of women compulsory?

[Sardar Miyan]

As per Quran the woman Ned not cover her hair but I was telling the model hair were not tide up but loose & her hands were bare. Therefore model did not appear as Muslim as she was having extra cloth
on her blossom which is must as per Quran.

Salam everyone,

Sstikstoff: Please look at the articles I cited above for head-coverings. They're not compulsory, but they're the standard in many societies.

Sardar: You're saying the girl in the picture looks like she's not dressed in a "Muslim" way. What is a "Muslim" way, I must ask? Are we supposed to dress in shalwars and black shrouds that look like Darth Vader costumes (sorry, I had to say that )? These are cultural types of clothing, not religious types. Christian women who live in supposedly sharia-compliant places like Saudi Arabia also wear the black dresses. These kinds of clothing are cultural and not religious.

I see no problem with her hair being loose. I mean, it's not covered in fake flowers or anything.

As for her arms, I see no issue with that either. Judging by the place I live in, that dress is quite modest. It might be different where you live. Here, adult women walk the streets in Daisy Dukes at the height of winter. So that dress is basically what people would wear to church service. Except for the slit at the bottom--I could do without that.

Adam: There's nothing wrong with wearing western clothing, as long as it doesn't show anything unnecessary. God does not want hardship for us. He wants us to dress modestly for the places we live in. You're right, "sharia compliant airline services" are hilariously ridiculous. Anyway, please don't feel constrained by anything your government is doing. You can make good choices without their interference.

Also, I have to say that it is very sad how "modest" dressing is only stressed for women. It's like men can walk around and look at women and do whatever perverted things they want, and it's always the women's fault--because they were dressed "inappropriately". Sigh.

To the contrary, a certain manner of dressing and cooperation is prescribed for both genders in 24:30-31. Men are equally responsible for dealing with themselves. In addition to this, they should be able to control themselves. Looking at a woman's hair should not make them do bad things. If it does, then they should see a doctor. It's that simple.

"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do."
