Although the hijab, the headscarf, is required by Islam, the veil that covers the face is not. Nonetheless, few women show their face on the streets. The veil is commonly called a burqa, but in Yemen they also call it lithma. The Holy Ka’aba, dedicated to the One, is the object of the Hajj and the qiblah of all Muslims. It stands at the heart of Mecca as testimony to the nature of Islam as the pure monotheism which revived the monotheism of Abraham and ultimately the primordial message of unity revealed to Adam. The Ka’aba is the concrete symbol of the origin of Islam and, in Muslim eyes, of all religion. To come to the Ka’aba is to return to one’s origin. But it is also the supreme center of Islam by virtue of which all Muslims turn to it in their daily canonical prayers. Islam is dominated by the two realities of Origin and Center, and these two fundamental dimensions of Islamic life are present in the Ka’aba. Throughout his or her life on earth, a Muslim, whether living by one of the volcanic peaks of Java or in the desert of Mauritania, is aware of the Ka’aba as the point on earth which links him or her to the origin of himself or herself, of his or her religion, Islam, and ultimately of humanity as such. The Muslim is also aware that all points of space on earth are linked by an invisible line to a unique center which is the Ka’aba towards which one directs one’s face five times a day in prayer. The Muslim, therefore, has a relation to the Ka’aba which is at once static and dynamic, static for there is a constant link between every point of the space of the Islamic cosmos and the Ka’aba, and dynamic because it is toward the Ka’aba that one journeys during the pilgrimage. In a sense, the daily prayers (al-salah) represent that static relation and the Hajj the dynamic one. Together they confirm the overwhelming and majestic presence of the Ka’aba as at once Origin and Center in the Islamic religious universe, not because of the Ka’aba in its earthly reality but because of what it signifies as the House of God, for in reality it is God alone who is the Origin and Center of a Muslim’s life.

Many men wear shawls wrapped around their heads or about the shoulders (a meshedda – though the word shawl is more commonly used). There are specific ways of wrapping it according to specific regions. However, most wear it just as they want it. In the Sunnah there are reports which describe several types of clothing that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to wear. To sum up: the reports say that he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to wear whatever garments were readily available and were customary among his people. So he did not reject that which was available, he did not go to great lengths to obtain that which was not available, he did not wear anything that made him stand out from other people, and he did not restrict himself to wearing only one type of clothing. Rather he wore all kinds of fabric except silk, and all kinds of garments that were covering and beautiful. Al-‘Allaamah Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) compiled a summary of the hadiths which describe the clothing of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), which we will quote here in brief. We will not burden the reader by quoting all the hadiths which speak of this topic, as they may be found in the books of the Sunnah, and one may refer to them in the sections on clothing and adornment. Makatab – a simpler variant of the futa. It is a rectangular piece of fabric wrapped around the lower body of a man. The makatab reaches the knees. It requires less fabric than a futa skirt. This garment is very informal, mostly used in day-to-day life while physically working. He also wore the jubbah [which is an overgarment with wide sleeves that is open at the front and is worn over the thobe. It is similar to the jubbah worn nowadays by the faculty of al-Azhar. See: al-Mu‘jam al-Waseet (1/104)]. There are many instances from the ahadith where the Prophet sal Allahu 'alayhi wasallam was reported to have worn a cotton Yemenite Shawl. One hadith specifically describes the Prophet sal Allahu 'alayhi wasallam as wearing a red stripy Yemeni Shawl.

The Yemeni shawl also has been reported to have been the bridal gift between Sayyidina Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Sayyidah Fatimah (May Allah be pleased with them both). A piece of white cloth made of cotton mild, worn in western Iraq and by the Arabs of the Arabian Gulf states. A traditional scarf originated from Yemen, usually made of cotton or flax and decorated with many colors, but usually red and white; worn primarily by Yemen, & Oman. Ethnically and culturally, Yemen can be divided into three main groups: the mountain people or tribal people from the North, the coastal people from the West and South and then the Bedouins. In this article I will focus on the first two groups, as they dominate Yemen culture.

In Sunan an-Nasaa’i it is narrated that Abu Rimthah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) delivering a speech wearing two green garments.The Metropolitan textile and other gilded ikats are dated and attributed to Yemen by association with the single extant historically dated ikat, which is located at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Cleveland ikat contains a legible inscription with the name of an imam of Yemen, Yusuf b. Yahya, who reigned from A.D. 955 to 1003. The plaited kufic script in the Cleveland fragment is much less flamboyant, probably so that its historical inscription could be more legible. The inscription on the Metropolitan textile assumes that a viewer would understand its meaning; it is written more loosely, allowing the ornamented kufic to sprout and grow more freely. The generic blessing of this ikat suggests that it was destined for the open market. His qamees (chemise) was made of cotton; it was short and had short sleeves. As for these wide and long sleeves like saddlebags, neither he nor any of his companions wore such things at all, and that is contrary to his Sunnah; there is some doubt as to its permissibility, because it is akin to showing off.
