? What Does the Sunnah Say About Modesty?

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Every religion has a distinct characteristic, and the characteristic of Islam is modesty.”
— [Sunan Ibn Majah 4181]

This hadith highlights how deeply modesty is tied to the core of Islam. It is not only a behavioral trait but also one of the defining features of a believing man and woman.

? Modest Dressing Is an Act of Worship

For women, wearing the hijab and covering the body appropriately is not about oppression — it is about obedience to Allah. The Qur’an states:

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (jalabeeb) over themselves…”
— [Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59]

This verse emphasizes the spiritual protection, honor, and dignity that come from covering appropriately. Following this command is a form of ibadah (worship).

✨ Why Modesty Matters Today

In a world that often promotes exposure, self-display, and constant validation, choosing modesty is an act of strength and resistance. A Muslim woman who dresses modestly says, “I define myself by my faith, not by the gaze of others.”

At Falistina, we create clothing that empowers this identity — beautiful garments that respect your values while celebrating your femininity.

? Modesty Is Not Just for Women

The Sunnah of modesty applies to men as well — in both their dress and behavior. Modesty builds humility, discipline, and sincerity in all believers.
