Aesthetic Characteristics Of Islamic Dress

Aesthetic characteristics of Islamic dress

I. pluralism and unification

The Arabia Peninsula, born in the seventh Century ad, enriches and complements itself in the process of interaction, infiltration and integration with other cultures.

On the one hand, Islamic culture absorbed the inherent culture of Arabia, such as Arabia's language, writing, poetry, proverbs, riddles and essays. On the other hand, it absorbed foreign cultures from Persia, India, Greece, Rome and China, and turned it into a rich and varied culture with its own characteristics.

Islamic dress culture, as a part of Islamic culture, is also characterized by pluralism and unity.

Arabia women's traditional costumes should be wearing a veil, wearing a large robe, the color of the veil and robe is usually black, and the Arabia world is different in the specific colors and styles of the veil and gown because of their different habits.

With the progress and development of the times, the traditional headscarf has been abandoned. Even if the headscarf is still kept, it is no longer confined to black and white. Instead of the traditional scarf, colorful coloured scarves are added to the richness and diversity of Arabia's traditional costumes.

The unity of Islamic dress culture is represented by the most fundamental value of Islam as the most dominant ideology of culture, history, times, psychology and aesthetics, which is the unity of Allah.

Islam believes that beauty includes natural beauty and absolute beauty. Beauty is not only a joyful feeling of nature and reality, but also a belief in Allah, that is, absolute beauty.

The unity is manifested in the most fundamental value of Islam as the most dominant ideology of culture, history, times, psychology, and aesthetics, which is the unity of Allah.

Islam is also the belief in Allah, the absolute beauty of awe.

The absolute beauty can be comprehended from the beauty of nature, and the beauty of nature can be seen from absolute beauty. The unity of the two proves the unity of faith and beauty.

Mohamed Gaut pointed out that beauty contains natural beauty and absolute beauty. Beauty is not only a revelation of nature and reality: "the Koran" makes people feel the beauty of the sky and the beauty of the universe.

Because only in this way can we understand the beauty of creation, and enable people to move towards the spirit of the Lord, in the realm of beauty and freedom, from the petty dirt of the world, and enjoy eternal life.

Therefore, this dress culture has a distinct unified feature.

It must highlight the ethical concept of clothing, and regard the art of dress as a prerequisite for obedience to this ethical concept.

From the aesthetic point of view of Islamic costumes, the art of dress that contradicts and contradicts the principles of Islamic dress ethics is not only beautiful but also ugly. It must be stopped in morality and law.

Two, religion

Religion is almost the oldest social phenomenon associated with mankind. Hundreds of millions of people believe in religion, and more people live under the influence of religion.

Religion has such tenacious vitality, and there must be a reasonable reason for it.

Religion is also an extremely complicated social phenomenon. It is a mysterious social phenomenon. Religion is a cultural phenomenon with rich contents.

Throughout the ages, almost all human cultures are related to it. Influenced by it, all kinds of human cultures can even be classified by different religions. Religious culture itself has rich contents: philosophy, science, ethics, art and even customs, including all fields of culture.

Islam, as one of the three major religions in the world, has shown vigorous vitality so far. It is the highest spiritual pillar and sacred standard of action for the people of all nationalities in Arabia Islamic world.

The original meaning of Islam is "peace" and "obedience". As a religion, it emphasizes the belief and obedience of Allah.

Islam absolutely forbids women to wear thin, pparent, and creates a unique Islamic in the art history of clothing.

Art.

Bright or plucent clothes, or wear clothes that only cover some parts of the body, especially those that are sexy, such as breasts, waist and hips.

On the other hand, the decoration on the women's head, or the scriptures of the Koran, which are embroidered with unique shapes, are fresh and pleasing, beautiful and bright, showing the religious doctrines; or embroidering the abstract geometric patterns, showing neither human beings nor animals.

As a religious art, geometric patterns enhance the atmosphere of worship. It is a successful example of the combination of art and religion.

The core content of Islamic dress aesthetics is the beauty of being upright.

The Koran says, "I (Allah) made you a nation of middle people so that you may be a witness to the common people."

Indeed, Islam advocates the principle of neutralization and neutrality for all things, whether religious or secular, neither too much nor too much.

The doctrine of integrity, teaching methods, handling affairs, wars, and clothing, food and shelter all put forward the beauty of right and wrong and oppose extreme excessive.

"Neither waste nor stingy is moderate between the two."

The beauty of this positive feature lies in the fact that it not only affirms human's reasonable material needs, but also tells people to control all kinds of worldly desires.

Never indulge in worldly pleasures and make life goals confused.

According to Islamic teachings, the purpose of clothing is nothing more than: first, cover the body; second, keep out the cold and decorate.

The Islamic law stipulates that men are shy from the navel to the knees, and women are shy bodies except their faces and hands. The cover used by women is used to cover the decoration of the forbidden hair. The veil is worn as a woman's facial ornament, made of gauze, worn on the face, worn out or moved in public places. Its purpose is to prevent dust, shading, add style, abide by the rules, maintain dignity and play a disguise role before the opposite sex.

Muslim men and women should be ashamed to expose their shy bodies, even if they live alone from the crowd.

But Islam does not object to the fact that under the premise of covering up the shy body, the Islamic dress is clean and neat, beautiful and decent, reflecting the lofty faith realm and quality sentiment.

In assembly activities or pilgrimage ceremonies, people should pay attention to cleanliness and beauty in their dress. Men should wrap their headscarves in worship. Their styles are rich and colorful, and their clothes are neat and dignified, to show reverence for piety of God and faith. But they also oppose extravagance and luxury in dress adornment, spread Zhang Lang fees, and advocate moderate beauty.

Humanity and harmony

The connotation of the beauty of human nature in Islamic culture includes the basic contents of "recognizing the LORD alone", doing good deeds, persevering, seeking knowledge and struggling.

"Recognizing the Lord is the only one" is the first prerequisite for the beauty of human nature.

People who believe in fetishism, worship money and idolatry must be distorted or even alienated.

Islam opposes idolatry and forbids the appearance of idols. There are few animal designs in Islamic costumes, mostly flowers and Arabia characters.

Allah not only gives people a graceful image: "he once created you, then made you sound, and then made you symmetrical", "he gives you image, and makes your image beautiful."

What is more important is to give people the ability to think clearly: "he gives people what he wants by wisdom, who has gained many benefits from intelligence and accuracy."

People can find and perceive the signs of Allah because they have the ability of thinking, thus awe and believe in Allah, follow the correct path according to Allah's desire, and radiate the vitality and radiance of the beauty of human nature.

The culture of Islamic Clothing objected to the extravagance and waste of clothing. It believed that mankind, as the agent of Allah in the land, must abide by the doctrine of right and wrong when enjoying Allah's grace.

The beauty of Zhong Zheng is also one of the connotations of the beauty of human nature.

It forms the three core contents of Islamic aesthetics together with the beauty of human nature and the beauty of harmony. It also constitutes the three core contents of Islamic dress aesthetics. Only by adhering to the main principles of Islamic dress culture can we give people the feeling and rhythm of beauty in both positive and negative beauty and human nature.

Islamic dress aesthetics firmly opposes men's disguise as women's clothing, but also against women's disguise as men's wear. They oppose both thrush and anti renewal. They oppose to pursue the so-called dress art at a cost of wasting manpower and material resources, and even make up nondescript and ridiculous costumes. They think that this is against the original nature and nature of Allah's creation. Such a disguise of sex will distort human nature and lead to degeneration.

It is strictly forbidden for the opposite sex to imitate each other, and forbids men to wear gold ornaments and silk fabrics. It is considered that this dress adornment is suitable for women only, and the men and women who dress and dress do not divide up will cause psychological variation and moral distortion.
