*Note*- I Would Prefer Opinions of South Asians(India,Pakistani, Bangladesh, Afghanistan)
Now we all know that muslims have their own culture and traditions which differs from country to country. For Instance Turkish Culture is Different from Pakistani Culture which is Different from Indonesian Culture which is Different from Amazigh Culture which is Different from Arabic Cuture.
Recently though I've been seeing Many South Asians Mainly Pakistanis in my Masjid Swithing their culture and dresses from Salwar Kameezes to Abayas/Thobs(Depending If your Male or Female) and Dressing more Arabic rather then their own Traditional Dress. They believe that the Arabic Culture is more Closer to the Original Islam(Which I agree) and because of that the Arabic Dress for Male and Female is more suitable in Islam then their Own which is the Sharwaar Kameez.
Now I would want your Opinion, Which One would you Prefer to Wear if you were to go in a Masjid? And which one you think is more suitable to be worn in regards to Islamic Morality? Or Does it even Matter? I would Like to Know espeically those South Asians who Live in America, UK, Europe. Since you don't live in South Asia anymore, would you make the switch to more Traditional Islamic(Arabic) Dress or Keep your own culture and dress and keep the Shalwar Kameez?
Note: I don't wear either one, I just wear regular Pants and shirts, I haven't Worn Shalwaar Kameez since I was 5 years old. But I would like your Take on this.
