| dc.description.abstract | Islam being a modest-religion teaches modesty and moderation in whatever a Muslim does. Hence, it teaches Muslims to dress modestly by covering almost all parts of their body. Every tribe or nation has its own distinctive culture with regard to their ways of dressing. These differences are due largely to the different climatic conditions, traditional heritage, professional ethics and social exposure of each tribe, nation and profession. For example, the Europeans would prefer to appear always in suit while the Arabs would opt for white Jalabiya and Mindil similarly, the Hausa’s and the Yoruba would gorgeously dress in big Agbada or Babariga with a cap to match, while the Ibos would put on Buba, tie wrapper to their waist and put hats on their heads with feathers as mark of honour, dignity and distinction. In a likewise manner, a banker will use tie, while medical doctor will use a white pull-over his dress. It is therefore, erroneous to describe the Arabs mode of dress as the only acceptable Islamic mode of dressing and those of other tribe un-Islamic. Precisely, there is no Islamic dress than what modestly cover the nakedness of a woman. | |
