Some religions have their own way of dressing. In this regard, their followers are influenced to obey and make use of that dressing. It can be on a part or entire body. In other scenarios, it is not just the religion but their culture and traditions. The Muslim faithful have been using the Islamic turban as a mode of their dressing for men.
It is a piece of garment, quite lengthy and lean in size whose essential users are men for covering their heads. Since time in memorial, the use of this garment has always existed. Its establishment came with their prophet. Variations exist especially on the materials used to make it. These are wool, nylon, cotton and polyester. Regardless of this variation, the garments serve the same purpose of covering the head.
In color, they appear in variety. Some are black, others white, yellow, grey, blue and many others. Each of these colors has their own meaning and perception when one uses a turban of a certain color. In this regard, preference is wholly a matter of choice to make as long as one has knowledge about that given color he has put on.
On the issue of size, there is a standard measure denoted in the chapters of the prophetic book. This is actually in terms of length; between seven to ten yards. In this view, any measure between these two is quite appropriate. Of late, this length has been a subject of debate, with the leaders failing to agree on the right size. That is why any long cloth that covers the head with at least one winding is suitable for use.
Tying this cloth around the head is done in a certain skill and way for it to appear appropriate. At first, Muslim brothers tend to have difficulty in getting this right. With time, they get used to it and perfect. In this regard, the crown of the head should be completely covered during tying. If done so tight, headaches are bound to occur.
As per all these, the uses of this cloth are quite a number. When a man wears this, it pictures him as someone with high sense of respect and manhood. This shows that he is a strong believer in their faith and has a high feeling of total devotion into it. All these can be quoted from their holy book.
Praying also is a must for one to be putting it on. Doing so with a bare head is a sign of laziness and abomination to their religion. This view used to be practical during the olden days. Of late, it is allowed especially when one has humbled before their god as a show of humility. Present-day Muslims do not wear it during prayers.
The use of Islamic turban also creates a clear dissimilarity between Muslims and non Muslims brothers within the society. It is their way of identification. In this regard, they find it easy to spot those of their religion, socialize and strengthen ties with them. The underlying belief being it is of great return.
