ISLAM = CHRISTIAN (6)

(From Islamic point of views)

11. Clothes

Is very concern about the cloth among Muslims, they must wear the cloth that cover the whole body (aurat) and polite. Al-Qura’an has state about this aspect in 24: 30-31 “Say to the believing men that they should lower their graze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and God is well acquainted with all they do (30). And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and their guard modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their father, their husbands fathers, their sons, their husbands sons, their brothers or their brothers sons, or their sisters son, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servant free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards God, that ye may attain Bliss.” Allah had describe in detail that what shouldn’t the women wear that can attract the male.
Bible too had said about this element in New Testament; Matthew 5: 27-28 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery (27). But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart (28).”
Islam has state 6 criteria about the “curtain” (Hijab). The criteria of curtain can see as follow:

i) The limitation of Aurat – the compulsory limit for the man is, he must cover his body from center of body to
the knee, however the woman must cover their whole body except the face and the hand.
ii) All Muslims must wear the loose cloth and not exposed the body.
iii) Muslims too not allowed wearing the transparent cloth that can see their skin inside the cloth.
iv) Islam not allowed its disciples wearing the “glamour” cloth that can attract the opponent gender,”
v) Islam prohibits it disciples wearing the cloth to look like their opponent gender.
vi) The clothed that show non-Islamic symbol such as the cross, skulls and etc.

Bible too had state about this aspects in Old Testament; Deuteronomy 22: 5 “A women must not wear a man clothing, nor a man wear woman clothing, for the LORD you God detest anyone who does this.” In New Testament too had state about this, it is in Timothy 2: 9 and Corinthians 11: 5-6.
