teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah must consider
about clothing is that outer appearance is very impor-
tant when establishing relationships with other peo-
ple. For this reason, a believer will give even more at-
tention to what he wears when he invites people to ac-
cept the deen (religion) of the Qur'an. He will be as
eager as possible to dress in clean clothes that are
modest and suitable for him. This shows that he has a
devout regard for the commands of Allah and respect
for other people.
Only those who live according to the teachings of
the Qur'an are as considerate of a person's psycholog-
ical state and careful to be as effective as possible in
telling that person about eternal salvation as they are
meticulous about what they wear.
In conclusion, a person of faith, taking our
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as
his example, always goes about in clean, well cared-
for and attractive clothes; he or she takes pleasure in
this and by it hopes to win Allah's approval.
