A Typical Day At Tthe Beach For A Muslim Family

By Owen Jones


The experiences and ways of spending leisure time differ across the religions. Places, foodstuffs, and clothes are different across cultures and religions. So, a day at the beach for a Muslim family is distinct from that of those people belonging to other faiths. In Islam, it is compulsory for a woman to dress humbly without exposing her beauty.

When an average Muslim family plans to go to a beach, the way of spending that day is totally different from a non-Muslim family. Muslim women cannot opt to wear swimsuits which display their bodies.

The methods of enjoyment vary between cultures and religions. Muslim women also enjoy a day at the beach but their manner of enjoyment is different.

They might not bask in the sun in two-piece suits revealing their bodies. They have to plan for their trip to pools and beaches in a different way. A Muslim family spends time at the beach joyfully while taking notice of the doctrines and confines preached by Islam.

They prepare some food to consume at the beach. Mostly, Muslims are family-oriented individuals and they plan to go to leisure places with their whole family. Children play different games at the beach, while the women spend most of their time watching their family swimming in the water or offering food.

There is no restraint on Muslim women swimming too. The biggest duty for a Muslim woman is to wear very unassuming clothing. They avoid pomp and show in their dressing. There are some criteria which the swimwear of a Muslim woman ought to meet.

The first principle is to wear a three piece swimming suit covering all of the body including the head. Only face, hands and the feet may be uncovered. These days, there are very stylish and good quality head covers available in the market.

The second vital principle is to wear swimwear that is made of such a fabric that does not stick to the body when it is wet. The swimwear ought to not highlight the body shape of the Muslim woman.

The cloth of the swimwear ought to not absorb much water so it should be water repellent to keep it light in weight. Muslim women generally prefer to wear bathing costumes manufactured of nylon or polyester. Wearing such clothing has a double advantage. Such garments should neither stick to the body nor hinder movement in the water.

A Muslim woman also likes swimming when following religious values and traditions. A day out to a beach always brings excitement to the life of a Muslim family. A day at the beach for a Muslim family is not as dull and dowdy as it seems.

Muslims choose their own manner of having fun and meticulously sort out ways of spending their free time.

It can be said undeniably that a Muslim family has to follow some restrictions and that their trip to a beach is not free from numerous religious and cultural cares. Muslims do their best by pre-arranging things to make their day out at the beach as joyful as possible.
