preciate the blessings they have. Because they were
given the clothes they need from the minute they
were born, dressing has become a
habit for them. This habit pre-
vents them from realising
that their clothing is a bless-
ing and from giving
thanks for it. But one of
the reasons why our
Lord created blessings
in this word is that
human beings would
thank Him for them. So, let's
examine the reasons why Allah created
clothing for us beginning with the benefits it pro-
vides us.
Clothing is like a shield that protects the human
body from cold, the dangerous rays of the sun and
minor dangers such as cuts and bruises from our en-
vironment. If we didn't have clothing, the thin skin
that covers the human body would often be in-
jured by these kinds of small accidents.
They are painful, a threat to health
