The correct code of dressing




The design of our dress must avoid three deadly sins: show off, arrogance, and self indulgence. These are very serious diseases of the heart in their own right that we must avoid at all times. Our garments provide an easy opportunity to nurture them. Hence the need to be extra cautious.
One Hadith states "Eat what you feel like and wear what you feel like. But avoid two things : extravagance and arrogance." [Bukhari].
At the risk of stating the obvious one should be reminded that this Hadith establishes an overriding concern that limits our choices within the realm of what is considered halal.
It does not do away with the distinction between halal and haram.
However, these principles are for everyone and forever. Any garment that accommodates these principles will be Islamic dress. This is Islamic formula to dress for success. Eternal success.
Anyway , nowadays we see a lot of Fitnah, muslim girls imitating al kafiroon dress, tight jeans, half sleeves, tranparency or tide blouses, half size skirts with knee high boots, half head shayla covered .... and the examples will go on....etc
If we have some of those is good to start improoving our selves and our code of dresses.Is it not too late, trying to change some of our bad habits little by little inshalla.
Let's start dressing as our Lord said to us, i know i'm not perfect, i do sometimes mix up my dress and i fail in dressing 100% Islamic correct way astaghfrallah ...but Iit's never late to straighten ourselves and try to change some of our bad habits little by little inshalla.
