Islamic clothing around the world

salam aleikum

On this page I would like to post Traditional or National dresses worn in many Muslim countries ... So first let's see what National dress means? Dress is the identity of any nation. It is the thing which tells you the nationality of a person without even asking. Every country has its own traditional dress.


I will start from India and Pakistan


The traditional dress in India and Pakistan is the shalwar kameez. This is good for all men, women and children . It is worn and is equally popular in all the provinces, cities and villages . The shalwar kameez holds equal importance in both ceremonial wear and casual wear. Women like to dress up in shalwar kameez most of the time and also during different ceremonies. Same holds true for men and children of the country.





Men's salwar


Kurta is also an important traditional dress item. It is similar to a shirt but is quite loose in fitting. The length of the kurta goes up to the knees of the wearer. It can be worn with either jeans or a shalwar. The Kurta is also worn by women in many western countries.


In Pakistan, kurta holds importance amongst both men and women. Different materials can be used to make a kurta and normally it is up to the wishes of the user that what style and material one wants to be used in one's kurta.



Men's kurti


The Pakistani culture is very rich as far as clothing is concerned. These clothes are famous not only in Pakistan but also in Afghanistan, India and Bangladesh.

Ok let's move on now to another country ....

Saudi Arabia , Arab Emirates ,Gulf countries

In Saudi Arabia, as in all countries, climate, usefulness, and custom influence dress.

Men and boys wear the thawb, an ankle length piece of clothing which is long and fits loosely. Athough the thawb covers almost the entire body, it allows air to circulate freely. This piece of clothing was traditionally made of cotton, but it is also made of other kinds of cloth.



Men also wear a ghutra an iqal on their heads. This is a square head cloth with a double circle of black rope or cord to hold it on the head.

Today Saudi men and boys wear this head cloth not only with the thawb, but also with work clothes. This headcloth comes in plain white and in red-and-white checks. It is folded diagonally to make a triangle.









Women in Saudi Arabia wear a long dress with long sleeves. It is called Abaya

The abaya (Arabic عباية, plural abayat عبايات) is an overgarment worn by some women in parts of the Islamic world. It is the traditional form of hijab, or Islamic dress, for many countries of the Arabian peninsula such as the United Arab Emirates, where it is the national dress.

Traditional abayat are black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long caftan.

The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqab, a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well.

Turkey

Clothing

Traditional clothing forms a part of Turkish traditional culture. In the past the Turks would weave their own clothing and make dyes from natural plant ingredients, in a way that reflected their feelings in the designs they created. Each region had its own characteristics in the way of clothing, headwear, scarves and socks, which have all, through the centuries, attracted interest and admiration.

The turkish scarves are famous for its uniqueness and rich colors ..









Most common dress in Turkey is Jilbab -its a long coat with buttons ...
There are different styles and colors of Jilbab ....







Morocco
Culture of Morocco - Morocco is a country of multi-ethnic groups with a rich culture and civilization. Through Moroccan history, Morocco hosted many people in addition to the indigenous Berbers, coming from both East (Phoenicians, Jews and Arabs), South (Moors and Sub-Saharan Africans) and North (Romans and Vandals).

The traditional dress for men is called djellaba; a long, loose, hooded garment with full sleeves. For special occasions, men also wear a red cap called tarbouche and mostly referred to as Fez. Nearly all men wear balgha (بلغه) —- those soft leather slippers with no heel, often in yellow. Many women do as well but others wear high-heeled sandals, often in silver or gold tinsel.

The women’s djellabas are mostly of bright colors with ornate patterns, stitching, or beading, while men wear djellabas in plainer, neutral colors. Women are strongly attached to their "Moroccan wardrobe", despite the financial costs involved. The production of such garments is relatively expensive, as most of the work is done by hand.






Kaftan or "tk'chita' is the special occasion dress ...The Moroccan kaftans are unique ..



Despite the costs involved most women purchase a minimum of one new kaftan or "tk'chita" every year, normally for a special, social event, such as a religious festival or a wedding. Nowadays, it is an unwritten rule that Moroccan dress is worn at such events.






I will continue with more countries inshaAllah

Thanks for sharing this valuable information. i have heard most women in Pakistan also wear abayas . Is that true. Quran tutors focus to cover muslim women so abaya should be of great importance for muslims world women.

Hey Jeff i am currently carrying out your optimum anabolic system but have not had significantly
luck in having inside the calculated 170 grams of protein
each day. I average between 120 to 140g every day.
Im approaching my protein deprivation period and want to know
if it will likely be a waste and not see the results
simply because i could not consume adequate protein up to this level.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed
to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the
whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

Thanks to those who has been sharing exulting reviews about Dr. Mack. Their reviews helped me resolve my relationship issues. I’m so excited to also share mine. My lover, our friends and families are all happy for my brave work to get him back. Since after the spell, we’ve excelled beyond measure. 9 months after breakup, my ex was still hunting me inside even when I moved on 2 months after. I couldn’t get him off my mind. I decided one day to look over Facebook to see his face again. I was wounded inside again after seeing how gorgeous and happy he was. I’ve always know he’s my soul mate before the issues that caused our breakup. We do better together because we motive each other. The reviews I carefully read about Dr. Mack gave me great hope and assurance that it’s not too late to get back my soul mate. dr.Mack proved to me after the love spell that the reviews about him and his spell are correct after bringing back my Hero within 4 days of powerful spell work. You might be the next person to share some exulting reviews or stay anonymous if you like after contacting Dr. Mack for his genuine love spell via dr_mack@yahoo.com.

When you have a treatment dress and you are looking for silver shoes it will take weeks as well as months to see them, obviously according to where you stand trying to find them. You'll find silver sneakers quickly but the perfect gold shoes which will fit the gown uk Most Unique Prom Dress be easy to find. On another give, for anyone with an outfit from the area store, glistening dark sneakers can be perfect.
