بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ
الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله
Allah, Holy and Exalted is He, says:
یٰبَنِیۡۤ اٰدَمَ قَدۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡکُمۡ لِبَاسًا یُّوَارِیۡ سَوۡاٰتِکُمۡ وَرِیۡشًا ؕ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقۡوٰی ۙ ذٰلِکَ خَیۡرٌ ؕ ذٰلِکَ مِنۡ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰہِ لَعَلَّہُمۡ یَذَّکَّرُوۡنَ
O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you raiment to cover your nakedness and to be a means of adornment; but the raiment of righteousness — that is the best. That is one of the Signs of Allah that they may remember
(Surah 7, Ayah 26)
The most holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم reportedly said:
إِنَّ لِكُلِّ دِينٍ خُلُقًا وَخُلُقُ الإِسْلاَمِ الْحَيَاءُ
For every religion there is a distinctive characteristic, and the distinctive characteristic of Islam is modesty (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Increasingly and worryingly the tribulation of nudism or naturism is spreading among the people. There is a particular philosophical and religious foundation to this practice which ought to be studied and accordingly refuted. A common argument to justify the shameless practice of public nudity is that as humans we come into this world naked and so to be in a state of nakedness is only natural. Allah سبحانه وتعالى answers this argument when He says that He has “sent down upon you clothing”. In other words, God has not only created humans and brought them into this world He is also the One Who brought down clothing for humans to cover their nakedness and also to serve as a means of beautification and adornment.
The devilish looking Naga Sadhus are Hindu ascetics who go about completely naked, their bodies often smeared in ashes. They keep dreadlocks or matted hair and smoke marijuana from a pipe. Consider also the Digambara school of Jainism. The monks of this false religion not only go about completely naked, they also refrain from bathing and brushing their teeth! Such a philosophy is diametrically opposed to the basic teachings of Islam, which emphasizes cleanliness as being an integral part of Faith, and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم who frequently brushed his teeth and cleansed his mouth with the Siwak.
Speaking of hygiene, now let us consider the cult of Sikhism. The baptized, or Amritdhari Sikh maintains kesh as an article of his or her faith. This means that the Amritdhari must never cut or remove a single hair from the body, including the hair that grows in the underarms and the pubic region! Again, this is in stark contrast to the superior and blessed teaching of Islam, which commands both men and women to regularly remove all hair at the underarms and private areas of the body for the sake of hygiene and cleanliness.
While Sikhs have made kesh an article of their religion, Buddhists have gone to the other extreme. Buddhist monks and nuns both regularly shave their heads. For a woman to shave her head is strictly forbidden in Islam. It is certainly a cursed and satanic practice.
