Etiquettes of Muslim Dressing

All around the world, everyone does have charm for a new dress. As far as Muslims concern, we take clothing in two contexts, dressing for daily life and dressing for prayers. There is no special difference in both, if you have worn proper Islamic dress then there is no need to change for prayers. However, if you are in shorts or blazers kind of dressing then you should go for a decent one. The difference in two is presentation how you want to come in front of your Lord, Allah. If some dress is not suitable for public appearance then how it can be for your Lord.

Islam put great emphases on proper dressing. Modernism does not depend upon short dresses but in your Thoughts. You should wear whatever you like but considering Islamic codes of dress in minds. As explained by Allah in His divine book of knowledge Quran as;

“O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.”

                                                                                                                       (Qur'an 7:26)
