Dissertation for Master's Degree

Field: Art Research

Abstract

In Islam, every art is measured by the criterion of its closest and most effective in the human spirit. The closest thing to our soul is our body. Therefore, any art that deals with the body is important. Clothing is the most important of all of them. After the body, clothes are the closest thing to us. What we wear affects how we feel inside. Classical Islamic civilization has created the most beautiful clothes for men and women. Men's clothing has always been very masculine and women's clothing has always been very feminine. The philosophy of clothing in Islam has been to show male and female beauty, although in the case of women's clothing, not in public. Jame art is seen abundantly in Islamic civilization. In this regard, the author has tried to address this important art in the fields of clothing, clothing design, clothing color, fashion and mental health, which are inseparable topics, using books, narratives and articles. In these fields, I have also benefited from various websites, lectures and interviews in this field at festivals. Also, the topics of difference in inner and outer clothing, as well as today's clothing, have been discussed. In this regard, the book of Martyr Seyyed Reza Paknejad, which is one of the most important sources of this research, has been used. In the current era, when clothes have undergone many changes and sometimes have gone out of the dominant Iranian dress, we should pay more attention to Iranian-Islamic dress, because Iranian dress reminds the Iranian people of their place in existence and the system of creation, and every part of Iranian dress expresses a wisdom that is rooted in Iranian thought, a thought that originated from history, religions, poets and artists. And therefore, the choice of clothing should be made according to its effect that leads to physical and mental health.

Key words: clothing, women's clothing, women's value in Islam, color, fashion, mental health

Introduction

Now in our society, the danger of becoming a consumer society is felt. Therefore, getting to know the historical and cultural background of schools related to fashion and clothing design seems important. By looking at the history of fashion classified chronologically from the 17th century onwards, we can follow the experiences of nations that, by straying from their origins, sometimes faced irreparable losses in all cultural, social and economic fields. has been noted. This research seeks to take a small step towards solving this need by examining the role of clothing in mental health and to provide educators and cultural leaders of the society with a new insight about the psychological effect of clothing on women and girls. Today, the clothing of our women and men is changing and as stated in the hadiths, it is predicted that women will wear men's clothes and men will wear women's clothes. The reason I have done this research is to study whether the clothes that women used to wear, whether Islamic or cultural, had a problem that we see changes in their clothing, or there is another reason. Today, the issue that is raised in the Islamic society is the issue of fashion, which has involved our women and girls and we are witnessing many changes in women's clothing, especially in their clothing outside the home. In this regard, I will discuss the issue of women's clothing from the perspective of Islam and psychology and the effect it can have on mental health. It is hoped that this research will be an introduction to more serious discussions about women's clothing and giving importance to it, and our designers will design women's clothing by paying more attention to the designs they present. And is it true that our clothing is according to Islam or not? And then let's talk about covering, which is one of the most important orders in the Islamic religion.

At first, we will talk about the definition of the Islamic religion, which of course is the most comprehensive of the divine religions and the most complete of the divine religions. This is because it contains the most complete set of rulings, instructions and teachings. That is, it is what was sent to mankind by God through the last prophet (PBUH) and in it are ideas and strategies for the happiness and salvation of man.That is, it is that which was sent to mankind by God through the Prophet (PBUH) and in which the ideas and solutions for the happiness and salvation of man are expressed, which man with his healthy nature can understand in general.

Professor Motahari, in defining Islam as a religion that was revealed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), considers Islam as a school and ideology that is based on a particular worldview and says: "Islam that is based on such a worldview is a comprehensive school. Oriented and realistic, in Islam, all aspects of human needs, whether in this world or the hereafter, physical or spiritual, intellectual and intellectual or emotional and emotional, individual or social, have been taken care of. Immortality of Islam

1- Khatamit

The feature of Khatamit of Islam is based on the verses and narrations agreed upon by Muslims from the beginning until now.

Professor Motahari says in this context: "On the other hand, Islam is a general and comprehensive plan, all-round and moderate and balanced, containing detailed and efficient plans in all cases. But what was mentioned about the previous prophets was a special plan for a specific society from God. In the era of Islam, scholars and leaders of the Ummah should prepare a special program using the inexhaustible sources of Islamic revelation and implement it. And on the other hand, the maturity of human intellectual and social development plays a role in the end of prophecy. Because, firstly, he has kept his divine book immune from distortion, secondly, he has taken over and used his evolutionary program at the same time, thirdly, he has taken upon himself the promotion and propagation and establishment of religion, the command of the good and the forbidding of the evil, which has eliminated the need for propagandistic prophets. It is not that there is no need for these teachings and prophecy has ended, but the need for new revelation and renewal of prophecy has ended, but the need for new revelation and renewal of prophecy has been removed." (Mothari, Morteza, Khatamit, 71)

2- Universality

Although the divine religions before Islam (such as Judaism and Christianity) enjoyed relative comprehensiveness in their time, but the religion of Islam, due to its finality, has absolute universality. It is compared to other religions. Therefore, Islam does not have a relative comprehensiveness that is limited to a specific time and place. According to what was stated among the goals and purposes of the Islamic religion, this religion, which is also the end of religions, cannot be comprehensive, because if the guidance and perfection of man in all spheres of life is the goal of religion and not a part of it, the beliefs (basic assumptions), values ??and behaviors presented by it should be comprehensive and not limited to the sphere of individual life. This is the reason why they believe that there is a connection between completeness, completeness, perfection and immortality of religion.

The minimal and maximal approach in the discussion of the comprehensiveness of religion will be explained below. We will emphasize that if there is a deep and comprehensive look at the purposes and goals and basically the philosophy of the descent of the religion and the mission of the prophets, the minimal approach cannot be the result of a religious research effort. In this discussion, we limit ourselves to stating two theories, minimal and maximal, and summarize.

1- Minimal theory

The initial design of this theory was like many discussions of the new word in the West and in the lap of Christian culture. Failure to pay attention to this important issue leads to inappropriate consequences and in many cases it prevents Muslim thinkers from reaching a fruitful conclusion in proposing views and presenting controversies.

Some followers of the minimal theory insist on denying the presence of religion in social arenas or the settlement of the world by religion. Among other things, Dr. Soroush emphasizes in the book "Tolerance and Management":

"When someone is in love with religion, he requires a community for him that religion does not really have. Many religious people expect that religion will improve both their world and their hereafter. That is, they expect religion to answer all their big and small problems in this world and the hereafter. Imam has no rational or religious reason for this expectation. We emphasize that there is not even a rational and religious reason for this idea in "(Soroush, Abdul Karim, Tolerance and Management, 366)

He writes in another place: "In my opinion, it is really impossible that you can prove that a certain religious legal system is better than all the economic systems in the world.
