A large majority of the actions we do, the food we eat, the dresses we wear is influenced by the religion we are born into or the religion we choose to follow. It might surprise you to know that Islam is the second largest religion in the world followed by Hinduism and Buddhism. Also, it is one of the strictest religions and disrespect or nonadherence to any rule calls for serious repercussions. Some Islamic countries have a death penalty for women who don’t wear the burkha for whatsoever reason.

There are countries which are very liberal about the burkha. There is no hard and fast rule to veil or not to veil. According to Islam, women must wear a burkha in front of all those men who could potentially marry her. This basically means that a Muslim woman need not wear a burqa in front of her immediate family members.

Most Muslim women wear a black burka . Since the beginning, black is the color of the cloth used for making burkha. The burka has grills on the facial region through which the women can see, speak, and breath. The burka is basically a robe that flows to the ankle. Only hands are visible in the burka. Back in the days, this piece of clothing was worn by Muslim women but today, women from all conventions do not have to wear this piece of cloth.

Burqa is mostly made of cotton and silk fabric. There are many Islamic dresses that look like the burka. One of them is the niqab. The niqab and burka are almost the same. The only difference is that the niqab has a slice on the headpiece for viewing while the headpiece in a burka has grills through which women can see, breath and speak. Hijab, on the other hand, is just the headscarf. It covers the hair, ears, neck, and some part of the forehead.

Fashion designers have changed the look of the traditional black burka to give it a more trendy and fresh feel. Embroidery on the border, intricate needlework are some of the tweaks that fashion designers have added to the burqa. A large majority of women have embraced this burka fashion. On the other hand, orthodox Muslim people see this change as derogatory.

Burka is the most politicized piece of clothing. Debates on whether or not the burka pop up every now and then in different countries. The burqas will not be banished anytime soon and you will be able to see different types of burka fashions in the near future. The base color which is black may remain the same because it has a significant significance in Islam.

According to an Islamic theory, black is the base color in burka because it gives a modest view. However, the change in fashion trends, blue, green and red are also available in the market.
