LIBAS (Clothing)

 00055

In Surah al-A’raf (7:26), Allah, Al-Jamil (The Most Beautiful, The Source of All Beauty), addresses all of us, the children of Prophet Adam (a.s.) and Lady Hawwa (a.s.), saying The Most Merciful has sent down to us libas (clothing, raiment) to cover ourselves so we won’t be shy and ashamed of our nakedness, to cover our vices and sins, protect us from heat, cold, the weather and personal and social dangers, hide our beauty and as a rish (adornment). The first use of clothing is essential and a necessity, but the second is complimentary. The use of clothing can make our stature and personality seem more beautiful and splendorous than it really is. Ever since Prophet Adam (a.s.) and Lady Hawwa (a.s.) came to Earth, people have worn clothing. However, it has transformed into a type of luxury and has expanded corruption, excitation of lusts, arrogance, gaudiness, flashiness, extravagance and wastefulness. The fashion industry wastes not only our wealth, but also a great deal of time and energy, whether people are designing, making, modelling, selling, buying or wearing. Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala tells us that the clothing of Allah-Consciousness, of piety and righteousness, is the best. It protects our soul and makes it beautiful, inshallah (Allah Willing). Both of these types of raiments are ayats (signs) of Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala so that we will remember the Divine Bounties we’ve been blessed with.
