There can be no greater mistake than to suppose that dress , for example , is something purely external and , thus , of no importance to the intellectual and spiritual Self of man . Dress is generally the outcome of an age-long development of a peoples tastes and needs. Its fashion corresponds to the aesthetic conceptions of that people, and so to its inclinations. It has been shaped and is constantly being re-shaped according to the changes through which the character and the inclinations of its people are passing. Western fashions of today, for instance, thoroughly correspond to the intellectual and moral character of the modern West. By adopting Western dress in place of his own , the Muslim unconsciously adapts his tastes to those of the West and twists his own intellectual and moral Self in such a way that it ultimately fitsthe new dress.
