In the Qur’an, Allah reminds us:
“Say to the believing men to lower their
gazes and guard their
chastity,” (Q24:30)
“And say to the believing women to lower
their gazes and guard their chastity, and
let them not display of their charm –
except what is apparent.” (Q24:31)
Commenting on the phrase, “what is
apparent”, Ibn `Abbas, the famous
Companion and the Qur’an analyst, said,
“It means face and hands.”

Another verse in the Qur’an has Allah
(S.W.T) reminding us:
”O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy
daughters and the women of the
believers to draw their cloaks close round
them (when they go abroad). That will be
better, so that they may be recognized
and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving,
Merciful.” (Al-Ahzab: 59)

A strong Prophetic Sunnah or Hadith
relates Prophet Muhammad cautioning
Asma’, the daughter of Abu Bakr (may
Allah be pleased with both of them) on
the dress-code for women:
”O Asma’! Once a girl reaches puberty,
nothing of her body may be seen (by
non-mahrams) except this and these,
(he pointed to his face and hands while
saying so).”

The Qur’an therefore reminds us
thoroughly of our responsibility as a
Muslim woman with regards to her
fashion sense when in the presence of
non-Mahram men. Prophet Muhammad
(s.a.w) too demonstrates the importance
of modesty that should be found in the
etiquette of Muslim women. It does not
mean that sisters should not look
somewhat “fashionable”.

Islam is beauty and it encourages beauty
but not lustfullness. We can be very
corporate as much as we can without
losing our identity as Muslims. Every
Muslim whether male or female is an
“ambassador” of Islam. We truly
represent our religion when we walk out
of our homes.

So, we have to comply adequately with
the dress code in Islam to be able to
represent the religion very well. We have
to show what Islam truly is, if we follow
the Islamic standards and not society’s
standards. If you go out of your home to
work with your flowing gown, drawing
your veil or hijab, and you are clean, why
should anyone raise eyebrow? You just
have to be yourself and close your ears
to whatever anybody says about your
Islamic dressing.

I dont see myself wearing any.

the concept is bold. Can give them that

the outfits (veil not included) arent Arab/Islamic per se, except for the light blue one in the foreground.

the style is actually sort of western, but the overall effect attempts to blend in both.

i think its a nice try, especially with the light pink and the purple one which is reminiscent of a boubou.
