Islam and Fashion

I started to search in fashion in Islamic era after I saw some pictures In the movie Kingdom of Heaven

what really captured my attention was the cloths of Sibylla

I read an article by Harun Yahya where he said that "As well as acrhitecture, Muslim had an advanced quality of and taste in clothing compared with Europe. Their textile shops produced unprecedentedly beautiful fabrics, which made European clothing appear quite ordinary. For this reason, Muslim clothing and Fabrics became symbols of luxury and status among Europeans. The church's most valuable holy objects were kept in Muslim-made fabrics. Indeed, some clothes in Christian paintings made during the Middle Age had Islamic writing on them. In fact, Muslims dictated fashion to the world. Europe received other practices of civilizations from Muslim, such as bathing and using soaps

I am including an image of two statues
Abu'allua Muhammed XII and his mother Lady Asiah. If you notice that Lady Asiah clothes

similar to Sibylla. lady Asiah wore colorful cloak

The second example here, three pictures the first one Sibylla agian, the second one a Turkish Harem and the third one an Andalusian lady. The three of them wore the head scarf in the same way

The Young Mujahid

Who can guess that this Child , One day will lead the Freedom- Fighters

One night the young man saw a dream that he recites Surat Yusuf. He contacted his sister

and told her about his dream. His sister told him that he will besiege with 12 other men in foreign land

Here begins the story of the young man, who was born in Saudi Arabia, and fought in

Afghanistan, and died in the land of Chechnya. Men like any normal man, whose full name is Abdul Aziz bin Said bin Ali Al - Ghamdi

Abu Walid didn't realize at one time that his fondness of playing drama roles at the school

theatre would lead him to a real dramatic role in life as leader of the freedom fighters

In an interview with Abou Walid brother "Khalid" who said anyone who know my borther

well never imagine he is a militry commander. He has a very good sense of humor.

He is social and gets along with various youth whether or not they are religious.

I was doing a little research on Abu Walid where I stumbled across a fan club for Walid

Here is a translation of some thoughts (poem) that his sister wrote

about Abo Walid but I want to remind the readers that English does it not justice

Your picture in my eyes and your memory in my mouth

You are in my heart so how can you leave my heart

your memory come to me in the morning and in the night

and my soul get happy when i remember you

Abou walid you answerd the lord saying here i am for Jihad

you left your family and our land

you went to another Jihad land a strange land

Sorry to say , my brother, my love, i don't know how to write a poem

But these words I wrote and I felt while i wrote it that I wrote it with my heart blood

a heart filled with sorrow and sadness to your absence

Farewell, my brother, my love
