ABAYA Meaning and
Definition
-
Abaya is a noun that refers to a loose-fitting, robe-like garment worn by some Muslim women, primarily in the Middle East and other regions where Islam is practiced. It is typically made of a lightweight and flowing fabric such as silk, polyester, or cotton, and is traditionally black in color.
The abaya is worn over the usual everyday clothing and extends from the shoulders to the ankles, fully covering the body except for the face, hands, and feet. It is often paired with a headscarf to complete the modest attire. While it is primarily worn for religious and cultural reasons to signify modesty and religious devotion, it can also serve as a means of expressing personal style and fashion.
The design and embellishments of an abaya can vary greatly, ranging from simple and plain styles to more intricate and decorative ones, depending on regional customs and personal preferences. Some abayas feature ornate embroidery, intricate patterns, or beading, while others are more minimalist in design.
The abaya has a long-standing history and has evolved over time in response to cultural and fashion influences. It continues to be a significant element of Muslim women's daily attire and represents an important symbol of identity, modesty, and adherence to religious beliefs.
