By Hadrat Maulana Abrarul Haq Saheb
My respected brother! I wish to draw your attention to a specific matter. We have testified that Allah Ta'ala is the One whom we worship. In other words this means that there is no one greater than Him. He is our Master, our Ruler, the Ruler of all rulers. In fact, He is the King of kings. Since Allah Ta'ala is our Master, Ruler and our King; then we are His slaves, servants, and subjects. Every department has its own uniform, appearance and mode of dress which distinguishes one from the other. Look at the person working for the police department or the post office. Every one recognises him from a distance. On seeing the post man approaching, everyone turns towards him thinking that if he does not bring us any money, then there's the hope of receiving a letter. On seeing the police man, everyone becomes scared and hopes that nothing is amiss and wishes that he does not turn his attention towards him. These are all effects of clothing and appearance. If any worker does not wear the uniform that is required of his work place, he will be regarded as an offender and dismissed from his job. In the same way, Allah Ta'ala has specified a special type of dress for His obedient and dutiful servants, i.e. for the Muslims. By wearing such type of clothing, fear and respect is put into the hearts of others. By wearing anything contrary to this, the Muslim becomes disliked and detestable in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala. In fact he is disgraced in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala. The result of this is that his respect and self-honour gets wiped out and people also begin to regard him as despicable and disgraceful, as is evident today. To appear and dress strictly according to the Shariah, is therefore not only our duty, but we are also responsible for our family members. Teach your family members the following matters with regards to their dress and appearance, so that the children can be made to adhere to the dress and appearance of the Shariah from the very beginning.
