Low-rise jeans against Islamic tehzeeb; Kashmir clerics issue warning for Ramadan
Srinagar: The clerics in Kashmir have warned against wearing low-rise jeans during the holy month of Ramadan, saying it is against the Islamic tehzeeb.
The religious authorities are tied up in knots over the piece of clothing low-rise jeans. A Muslim cleric said that a man wearing low-rise jeans reveals his back when he bows down to pray in a mosque, adding that the prayer remains incomplete in such clothes.
Another cleric said that covering the body from waist to the ankles is a must. Campaigns have begun on social networking sites in Srinagar against the practice of wearing revealing jeans to mosque.
Islam's holy month of Ramadan, which began this week, is celebrated by Muslims worldwide marked by fasting, abstaining from foods, sex and smoking from dawn to dusk. It is a time for soul cleansing and for strengthening spiritual bonds.
The ninth and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan marks the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad and is a time of increased spiritual reflection and devotion.
Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, meaning it is among the core rituals of the faith.
Great, horny muslims.
So Islamists have a crack problem. Who knew!
Too much temptation.
From what I hear from friends who have been deployed in Islamic countries, this is actually a valid concern for the religious leaders.
Street arabs meet imams... like they say even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.
Great comment. Laugh of the month to you.
Tehzeeb in Arabic means “No Mooning”. Never knew that!
Guess the song “Moon Over Mecca” won’t be heard on radios in the Middle East.
All they’re doing is showing MooHamad respect.
Yet they don’t hesitate to put their derrière in Allah’s face. LOL!
I don't like seeing the butt crack either, unless it happens to be on a really hot chick.
I have read that if they pass gass while praying, that is also a major no-no. I don’t know whether their prayers are not accepted, if they have to get up and move to the back row, or even if they are responsible for the guy behind them passing out and hitting his head on the floor.
How do Black Muslims do it, with their pant's waists down around their ass?
dont matter the position they are all a**holes
I have to say that being required to go to the back row seems like a pretty good punishment, although it might just be giving them a view of more temptation.
I always bow (in reverse) toward Mecca when working through the various parts of a TSA anal/junk exam.
Great place to park your bicycle!
must be judging by all the skid marks
“I don’t like seeing the butt crack either, unless it happens to be on a really hot chick.”
Do they insist on hijabs on the back end of goats and sheep? How ‘bout camels?
