CLOTHES IN THE PAST AND PRESENTA WARNING TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF ADAM VERSE NO. 26

HOW IS CLOTHES SENT DOWN TO US?

      Allah is in the highest possible position, while man lives in an infinite lower condition than Him. Whatever comes down from the highest to the lowest, in fact it comes down, or it is sent down. So, it doesn't mean that clothes have been sent down physically in a basket. The verse then drives the argument from the apparent physical clothing to the more valuable spiritual clothes of piety and virtue:

      ``And the clothing of piety is better for you.''

      In a spiritual sense of meaning, our thought and deeds are our truest covering and adornment. Our inner motives and ideas will paint our apparent feature. Therefore the best clothing and ornament for man is piety and righteousness that may cover his sins and decorate him with virtues.

      The comparison and likeness of virtue and piety with cover and clothing is a good one, because, as clothes protect man from hot and cold and many hazards, so is the garment of virtue and piety - it may protect him against sins, evil deeds, and many social dangers too.
