INTRODUCTION

How people dress plays an important role in Islam.  Muslims are asked to be modest and clean.  This doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t wear new and nice clothes, but that they shouldn’t show off infront of other people.  Showing off might make some people angry, or it might hurt someone’s feelings if he/she is poorer than you.  Muslims, whether they are men or women, follow specific guidelines as to how they should dress in public.  Ladies are asked to wear clothes that cover their whole bodies except their face and hands.  Men are asked to wear clothes that cover at least from their tummy to their knees.  This means that for example, ladies can’t wear short-sleeved shirts in public, and men can’t wear shorts in public.  Muslims from different countries wear different types of clothes, but all are still considered Islamic clothing, since they follow the guidelines.
