Clothing and Dressing Code

Dressing code is one of the deeds as the proof of their identity & recognition.. represent who they are ..we can found multiple kind dressing code according to particular situation besides religion such as formal clothing, millitary, leadership, celebration, formal & official event like graduation which represent the particular occasion..we can found the dressing code all over our daily life so why do we have put a double standard judgement & prejudice towards a religious clothing?! Can we ask a very good deeds Mr president to wearing a t shirt during the public speech ?! Of course not reasonable..

Biblical & Islamic Comparison

QURAN chapter 7 The Elevations/ al-A'raf: 26

 O children of Adam! We have provided you with clothing to cover your bodies, and for luxury. But the clothing of piety—that is best. These are some of God’s revelations, so that they may take heed.

Note: Clothing represent the distinction and differences between children of Adam (humankind) and the another kind of pyhsical creature (animal,plant....)



Intimate parts (covered by clothing)

None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am the LORD (Leviticus 18:6)

The word Erva (ערווה) first appears in the Hebrew bible in Leviticus 18:6. The verse reads as follows, with the word erva being translated to nakedness.

In Arabic, the term 'awrah or 'awrat (Arabic: عورة‎‎) derives from the root ‘a-w-r which means "defectiveness", "imperfection", "blemish" or "weakness". However, the most common English translation is "nakedness". 

Note: Any part of body that should be cover called as awra/aurah. There is an inseperable relation and connection between sexuality and way of clothing/fashion.

Cover for Women

1 Timothy 2:9 (Bible)

Likewise,I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls orexpensive clothes.

Wearing hijab (head/upper-cover)

1 Corinthians 11:5-14 (Bible)
 5- And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.
6- If a woman does not cover her head, let her hair be cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
7- A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
 8- For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
9- Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10- For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
13- Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
 11- In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12- For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.(Quran 24:31)

"Those who harm believing men and believing women, for acts they did not commit, bear the burden of perjury and a flagrant sin.O Prophet! Tell your wives, and your daughters, and the women of the believers, to lengthen their garments. That is more proper, so they will be recognized and not harassed. God is Forgiving and Merciful." - chapter 33 Al-Ahzab:58-59 (Qur'an)

Note: the distinction (pyhsically) between believer woman and unbeliever is clothing. Cover the awra represent the unity in the same believe. Free from temptation of evil eye. Clean and modesty look.

 Exceptional part (women):

"Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, entered upon the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) wearing thin clothes. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) turned his attention from her. He said: O Asma’, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this, and he pointed to her face and hands." (Abu Dawud)

Deen Squad - COVER GIRL (Rockin' That Hijab)

Female voice

According to most scholars, the woman’s voice is NOT (see quotation) awrah in principle, for according to the Hadith, women used to complain to the Prophet and ask him about Islamic matters. However, women are not allowed to speak in a soft or alluring voice.

In Islam, women are allowed to sing but are not allowed to call the Adhan or pronounce the Talbiyah aloud in Hajj. As narrated by Aisha (the wife of Muhammad): "That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of 'Id-ul-Fitr or 'Id ul Adha while the Prophet was with her and there were two girl singers with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an 'Id' (i.e. festival) and this day is our 'Id." Not only women, men are not allowed to sing the current and age songs. Singing pop songs is not encouraged. A women's voice is awrah when she sings as men may get attracted to it.

Also, according to the tradition, in the ritual prayer, a woman should invite the attention of the Imam by clapping, instead of saying "Subhanallah" which is for men. There is a difference of opinion whether or not a woman can recite the Quran when in the presence of non-mahram men.
Certain scholars have concluded from the above differences that a woman's voice is also her awrah in some cases.

Note: there are many opinion about the limitation of awra

Note: Way of clothing represent the unity in civilization and form the civilized culture for the society. There are distinction and differences between men and women in clothing based on the original differences of sex and gender. The distinction/division way of clothing based on gender in purposed to maintain order and balanced within the society of mankind represent the civilized of morality and maturity of humankind . Human right based on the human true nature so it supposed to protect the natural and original human nature. The clothing for men based on the nature of man and the clothing for women based on the nature of woman. By violated the human right (different clothing based on gender) thats mean violated the original human nature(the original gender) and there is no such thing as true freedom for someone who violated the natural order of mankind (different gender) but abomination. The systematical lifestyle of mankind will perished by false freedom. When human free from law and regulation thats mean the sign of collapsing civilzation and culture. Awra represent honour,manner, dignity,beauty and morality of the society.

Cover For Men

There are many a haadeeth which indicate that a man’s ‘awrah is the area between the navel and the knee (and the navel and knee are not part of the ‘awrah). See al-Majmoo’, 3/173; al-Mughni, 2/286 

These ahaadeeth include the following: 

1 – Abu Dawood (3140) and Ibn Maajah (1460) narrated that ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not show your thigh, and do not look at the thigh of anyone, living or dead.” 

2 – Ahmad (21989) narrated that Muhammad ibn Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by Ma’mar when I was with him, and his thighs were uncovered. He said: “O Ma’mar, cover your thighs, for the thigh is ‘awrah.” 

3 – Ahmad (15502), Abu Dawood (4014) and al-Tirmidhi (2798) narrated from Jawhad al-Aslami that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by him when his thigh was uncovered and he said: “Do you not know that the thigh is ‘awrah?” 

4 – al-Tirmidhi (2798) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The thigh is ‘awrah.” 

Shaykh al-Albaani said concerning these ahaadeeth in al-Irwa’(1/297):  

Although their isnaads are not entirely free of weakness, they strengthen one another, because there is no narrator among them who may be regarded as suspicious, rather their weakness has to do with confusion and ambiguity. And there are similar reports which make one confident that the hadeeth is saheeh, especially since some of them were classed as saheeh by al-Haakim, and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. And al-Bukhaari narrated it in a mu’allaq report in his Saheeh… But a number of these isnaads give the hadeeth strength, and raise it to the level of being saheeh, especially sincere there are similar, corroborating reports on the same issue. End quote. 


It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (6/165): 

Even though there is some weakness in the isnaads of these ahaadeeth, as there are gaps in the chain of narrators or there is some weakness in some of the narrators, nevertheless they support one another, and when taken as a whole they provide the required evidence. End quote. 

The majority of fuqaha’ are of the view that these ahaadeeth should be followed and they stated that a man’s ‘awrah is from the navel to the knee. See al-Mughni, 2/284

The Throne of God

Biblical & Islamic Comparison

So exalted is Allah , the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.(Quran-23:116)

The Creation of the Universe in 6 days

Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.(Quran-7:54)

Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember? (Quran-10:3)

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded? (Quran-32:4)

It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.(Quran-57:4)

He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well informed.(Quran-25:59)

Note: God did not literally sit on the throne like king sit on the chair becaused the throne is one of His greatest creation and all creation unable to bare or domain God. The throne is the centre of universe and all creation. The throne represent the greatness and glory of God upon all existence.

                                        Throne & the Host (angle)

1 Kings 22:19

Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left. 

Isaiah 6:1

1-In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. 

2-Seraphim (angle) stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 

3- And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory." 

And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne, exalting [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord. And it will be judged between them in truth, and it will be said, "[All] praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds."(Quran-39:75)

Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.(Quran-40:7)

Ezekiel Sees God’s Throne (Ezekiel 1)

1 -On the fifth day of the fourth month in the thirtieth year, while I was by the Chebar River with the Jews who had been taken away from their land, the heavens were opened and I saw God in a special way. 

2- (On the fifth day of the month in the fifth year that King Jehoiachin had been living in a strange land, 

3 -the Word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the religious leader, son of Buzi, in the land of the Babylonians by the Chebar River. There the hand of the Lord came upon him.)

4- I looked and saw a wind storm coming from the north. There was a big cloud with lightning coming from it and with a bright light around it. Inside the fire was something like shining brass,
5 -and in the fire was what looked like four living beings. They looked like men,
 6 -but each of them had four faces and four wings.

 7- Their legs were straight, and their feet were like those of a calf. They shined like bright brass. 

8- Under their wings on their four sides were hands like a man’s. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, 

9 -their wings touched one another. Their faces did not turn when they moved. Each one moved straight ahead. 

10- As for what their faces looked like, each of the four had the face of a man, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of a bull on the left side, and the face of an eagle.

 11 -Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Each had two wings touching the wings of another, and two covering their bodies. 

12- And each one went straight ahead. Every place where the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 

13 -Between the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like fire lamps moving from side to side among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was coming out of the fire. 

14- And the living beings ran this way and that, like lightning.

15- As I looked at the living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth beside each of the living beings with its four faces. 

16 -The way the wheels were made, they looked like shining chrysolite stone. All four of them looked the same. They were made to look as if one wheel were within another.

 17 -When they moved, they went in one of their four ways, without turning as they went. 

18- The wheels were so high that they caused fear. And all four of them were full of eyes all around. 19 When the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And when the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. 

20- Whatever way the spirit would go, they would go that way. And the wheels rose close beside them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels. 

21 -When the living beings moved, they moved. When the beings stood still, they stood still. And when the beings rose up from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them. For the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

22 Over the heads of the living beings there was something that looked like the sky. It shined like crystal and spread over their heads. 

23 Under this covering their wings were spread out straight, one toward the other. Each one also had two wings covering their bodies on one side and on the other. 

24 When they went, I heard the sound of their wings. They sounded like many waters, like the voice of the All-powerful. They sounded like the noise of an army camp. Whenever they stood still, they let down their wings. 

25 A voice came from above the large covering over their heads. Whenever they stood still, they let down their wings.

26 Above the large covering that was over their heads there was something that looked like a throne, and looked like it was made of sapphire. Sitting on the throne was what looked like a man. 

27 Then I saw that there was something like shining brass from the center of his body and up to his head. It looked like fire all around within it. And from the center of his body and down to his feet I saw something like fire. There was a bright light shining all around Him.

28 This light shining around Him looked like the rainbow in the clouds on a day of rain.

This was what the shining-greatness of the Lord looked like. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.(Quran-13:2)

Note: The Throne (Arabic: العرش‎‎ Al-ʿArsh) is the greatest thing ever created by God. Muslims believe God created the throne as a sign of his power and not as place of dwelling.

Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? 

He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. 

Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth.

His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, 

and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, 

For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
