An Analysis of the Qur’ānic Foundations of Islamic Dress

The term Islamic dress can be considered to be roughly synonymous with the word ḥijāb. This word has become more frequently used than the previously used term, i.e., covering (sitr), to indicate Islamic dress.   One of the commands that Islam orders Muslims to follow is the observance of ḥijāb in their social interactions. The importance of analyzing this matter from the Glorious Qur’ān is exemplified because of the great influence it has on the general lives of Muslims. Furthermore, the importance of this matter, i.e., ḥijāb, in the lives of Muslims, makes finding the Qur’ānic stances regarding it even more important.    The hypothesis of this article claims that Islamic dress, and the necessity of observing it, is one of the fundamental tenets of Islam and one which is sourced from the Glorious Qur’ān. This research was conducted in an analytical-descriptive manner, combined with the examination of the Qur’ānic verses. Additionally, from the perspective of the Glorious Qur’ān, a Muslim Woman, focusing on the core tenets of Islam and its mental, emotional, and practical advice concerning affairs such as life possessing meaning, the ascending nature of life, chastity, spiritual character and moral identity, observance of the divine obligations and prohibitions, etc., must pay attention to their manner of dress. And with its practical observance, positive outcomes and effects will be noticed within the Islamic society.
