Manners of Dress and Manners of Worship Study the Qur'an Surah Al-A'raf Verse 31

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of observing proper etiquette—or decorum—regarding dress and worship for Muslims. We often focus solely on the obligation of worship itself while paying insufficient attention to our appearance and demeanor while performing it. This paper aims to explain that the clothing we wear is not merely a covering for the body but a reflection of the respect we hold when standing before Allah SWT. Through a simple review, the article demonstrates that wearing clean, neat clothing that covers the *awrah* (intimate parts) can help an individual feel calmer and more focused during worship. Furthermore, maintaining proper etiquette—such as avoiding haste and preserving a sense of tranquility in places of worship—is key to achieving *khushu* (deep, humble reverence). In conclusion, the combination of appropriate attire and respectful conduct serves as a tangible expression of faith that enhances an individual's spiritual quality in daily life.
