Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things

Maryam “Ruttie” Jinnah, once wife of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, is simply sense and sensibility in this autumnal square-neck number.

Meena Kumari, glamorously garbed in green and not an insignificant amount of gold bling.

At a school in Ahmadabad, Muslim girls are wearing some inter-religious understanding, and lighting earthen lamps to mark Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights.

(Diwali is also sometimes celebrated in Jainism and Sikhism)

Tabla master Zakir Hussain usually wears a kurta, and can wear out a pair of drums like nobody’s business.

It is physically impossible for Saif Ali Khan to not show at least part of his chest. He just can’t not do it. It is futile for him to even try. The right and left side of a garment he wears will actually repel each other, like two like sides of a magnet. So here, Saif wears his version of a South-Asian style sherwani. Open chest style, of course.

Madhubala had no problems donning traditional Muslim glamor in her prime.

Mammooty, left, piously wears traditional Muslim cowboy boots and drives only an Islamic motorbike.

Boxer Razia Shabnam wears a look that reads “don’t mess with me.” And for the sake of the boys, let’s hope they heed that warning.

Dr. Abdul Kalam - Aeronautical Engineer, Nuclear Scientist and 11th President of India likes to get his kurta on when he speaks at the European Union.
