What's the Matter With the Clothes I Wear? Radio

By  Selma A. Cook

We live in a world where most people take us at face value. How we look, or rather, how we are supposed to look can make the world of difference between being accepted or looked down upon. In the midst of all this, Muslims, both males and females, are supposed to dress modestly. Keeping your identity as a Muslim in today's world is no easy task. But what are the choices?

How significant is the Islamic dress code in the world today? How should Muslim guys dress? Does the way you dress affect how people think of you?

Is it an option that we just give up our Islamic identity? Can we maintain our identity and standards and be patient with people's comments, sniggers, or just the way we might be ignored? If our life's goal is to please Allah and be close to Him and to have a positive impact in the world wherever we are, then the choice is simple.

This Saturday, October 7, 2006, at 9:30 GMT, we're talking "Islamic Dress Code."
