I don’t want to argue what dress is correct but I would like to comment on what I quoted above. That alone is not enough, although Allah knows whats in our hearts we STILL have to do what Allah (SWT) has ordained upon on us. That means we still have to dress modestly (whatever dress accomplishes that), we still have to wear hijab, we still have to pray 5 times a day, we still have to fast, we still have to respect our parents. Whats in our hearts is also important because we shouldn’t do it all for people but for Allah (SWT).

I agree 100% sareh, but the thing here is why must we have to attach to a certain dress code in order to be recognized as muslims? In the Quran it is no where said that “Thou shalt not wear Shalwar Kameez” or Thou shalt Always wear a choga type thing and keep thy beards Long" Allah warns the people in the Quran of the impending after life which we all must pay for. Quran and Islam emphasizes heavily the distractions men and women face in the “Material” world. However Quran does mentions that women should cover up their bodies, no where does it ever state that they should completely dab themselves in the burqa. I would now like to point out here that Abu-Jahl the greatest enemy of the Prophet wore the same clothes as our Prophet did, He also had the beard like the Prophet and long hair, yet his view-points were completely different. Same thing can be said about the terrorists who explode bombs all while adhering to the so called “Islamic” dress-code.
