Clothing

People in the Muslim world wore clothes that were comfortable, respectful, and helpful in hot weather. Some Muslim women choose to wear a hijab, which is a head covering. The hijab is worn as a way to show faith, modesty, and respect. It is important to know that wearing a hijab is not about being forced or being treated unfairly. For many women, it is a personal choice and something they feel proud of. Wearing a hijab helps remind people to focus on who someone is on the inside, not just how they look on the outside.

Muslim men often wore long, loose robes, which helped protect them from the hot sun and blowing sand. These clothes also kept them cool by letting air move easily.

Clothing in the Muslim world shows how people combine religion, respect, and everyday needs, and it helps us learn that different cultures express their beliefs in different ways.
