Islam is the second most popular religion and the most practiced culture in the world. Just like any other religions and cultures, it has its own rules in the way its member way of clothing. This practice varies in different subgroups. Some are very strict with both female and male attires whereas others are more concerned with women than men. Detailed below are facts about modest Islamic clothing that one should consider.

Male are advised to avoid haram elements. In this context, haram is harmful practices which are against the teachings of Allah. Making references to the Quran, men are not required to wear any silver or silk. This simply means that such items are meant for decoration purpose and are supposed to be worn by females. Any underneath garments is recommended to be worn above the ankles and should not be made out of a see me through the material.

Clothing is done with the right intentions, and there must be no imitation of other members. It is against sharia laws to put on attire which depicts wealth or undermines your fellow brother capabilities to afford a similar garment. One is expected not to imitate non-Islam or wear something similar to the female believers.

Women are expected to wear clothing that conceals most of their body parts. It is haram for a female Muslim to expose their body, especially to their non-Muslim members. Conservative factions have gone to the point of limiting them to dark attires made from heavy materials. Others only regulate to lose hijab which does not show off their covered body but is no strict to their colors or decors.

Their head cover varies with the respective subgroup. Conservative factions prefer the burka which completely covers the whole head and leaving a mesh or grill for the woman to see through. The lenient group makes use of the hijab and dupatta which both are veil which is separate from the hijab. The niqab is another type worn by conservatives which is an extension of the hijab but leaves out the oval part of the head.

Ladies underneath clothing can go as far as their ankles and can make a preference to any other suitable apparel. They should not expose their bodies to Muslim brothers without any close ties. Otherwise, they can put on other outfits to their brothers or any other male relatives. Children who are not way below their puberty stage do not pose any threat.

These regulations have been varied depending on culture mixture and state laws despite their strictness. Most of the western nations are against some expectations and have banned them. The burka is highly disregarded to conceal one identity by exposing her face. This has been considered for security measures since criminal impersonate this to hide their identity. The few Muslims who have been married to different cultures tend to adopt their new regulations as well.

There has been a remarkable change in the way Muslim believers blend into the modern world. Some factions have adopted casual wears using a diverse fashion for their identity and women have adopted a mixture of loose tops and trousers followed by a hijab to fit into the modern world. Their traditional attire is worn during important ceremonies altogether.
