Joys of Paradise -- Clothing

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Paradise is a place of clothing and for people who observe proper clothing. And Shaytan wants you to strip off your clothing.

One of the joys of Paradise is clothing. The sign that Adam alayhissalaam and his wife were no longer qualified to be in Jannah was that their clothing was removed. And the sign in this world for certain people who just don't want to go to Jannah is that they don't wear their clothes, half naked.

In Surah Ta-Ha, Allah Most High says,

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ ﴿١١٦﴾ فَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ ﴿١١٧﴾ إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ ﴿١١٨﴾ وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ ﴿١١٩﴾ فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ قَالَ يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ ﴿١٢٠﴾ فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ ﴿١٢١﴾

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused. (116) So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer. (117) Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed. (118) And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun." (119) Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?" (120) And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred. (121)

When we think of modesty (haya') it's not just hijab. It's a pschological thing, a social thing, it's an interaction thing. It is something to do with the eyes, the tongue, the behavior, how family conducts themselves. How many girls you see in public, have hijab but don't have haya'

Hijab is not haya'. Hijab is a means to modesty. Just because you made wudu' that doesn't mean you are going to make solat.

May Allah make us people of haya' and clothe us in this life and the next with the best clothing. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. Wassalaam
