Islamic Fashion

The next blog (posted below) will educate the reader regarding Islam and public modesty.

Here is the link which functions as the springboard for the commentary.

The two references from Al-Qur'an used in the blog, are included below to facilitate the flow of reading.

An-Noor (The Light) 24:30
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. This helps them grow in character. Surely, God is Aware of what they do.

Al-Ahzab (The Confederates) 33:59
Oh prophet! Tell your wives, your daughters, and women of the believers that they should draw loose fitting garments over their person (when in public). This is easy and proper, so that they may be recognized and not bothered. God is Absolver of imperfections, Merciful.

*Taken from "The Qur'an as it Explains Itself" 4th edition, Dr. Shabbir Ahmed, Florida
