A Guide for the Modern Muslim Man

The thobe has been a part of Muslim men's attire for many years. It’s about modesty, faith and identity all wrapped up in a humble piece of cloth. Some men wear one on a daily basis; others keep one for prayers and festivals. Despite this rich tradition, many young Muslims and new Muslims don't know what exactly a thobe for men is, or how to wear it properly.

What is a Thobe?

A thobe is a traditional, long, loose robe that extends from shoulder to ankle. It features a plain and simple design that allows you to move about comfortably throughout the day. While deeply rooted in Arab culture, this garment is known by a different name across the globe.

Saudi Arabia – Thobe

UAE – Kandura

Kuwait – Dishdasha

Oman – Dishdasha, finished with a tassel known as furakha.

The History of the Thobe

The thobe traces its origins back to the clothing of the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Loose and modest clothing was the norm in the Arabian Peninsula because it was both easy to wear and adopted in accordance with the Islamic concept of modesty in hot climates. That design was later adopted as a symbol of Muslim identity not only for its utility but also for its adherence to the Sunnah over centuries.

These are all types of thobes that are specific to the region:

• Emirati Kandura – Neat, crisp, collarless and often worn white for formal events.

• The Egyptian Thobe – Light, breathable and perfect for warmer climates.

• East African Thobe – Softer fabric that has a slight sheen and is a popular choice for Friday prayers and Eid.

• Moroccan Thobe – Loose and casual, draped with embroidery around the neck.

When to Wear a Thobe

As a Daily Outfit

A thobe is ideal for everyday use because it can be worn with comfort and ease while maintaining a decent look. A thobe will make it easy and stylish for you to go through your day, no matter if you're running errands, working at home, or sitting down to dinner. It is best to keep it simple and wear your thobe with sandals or loafers since it will be a normal outfit.

For Religious Events

On Fridays, or for special occasions such as Eid and other special days in the Islamic calendar, you may want to spruce up a little for prayers. A thobe in white or with some embellishments is the perfect choice.

To Celebrate Social or Family Events

When visiting family or going to social events like weddings or dinner with friends, it's best to wear a thobe. Elegant, but not showy, and available in various cuts and finishes. If you're looking for more subdued prints, opt for darker shades for special occasions. In general, it is good to always wear a thobe that is flattering to your figure.

They are very popular in the men’s fashion world. The cut, materials and finishes are constantly updated and improved to keep this as contemporary as possible.

FAQs

What is the difference between Jubba and Thobe?

While the Thobe is an ankle-length garment that is worn alone, a Jubba also refers to a similar garment and is worn over other clothes.

Are thobes only worn on special occasions or can they be worn as everyday attire?

Both. If you opt for lighter and simpler designs, they can be worn as day-to-day wear. More elaborate thobes are reserved for special occasions, prayers or Eid.

Do thobes shrink?

No, not if you take proper care of them. Wash your thobe using the instructions on the care label and air dry it, never put it in the tumble dryer or hot water.

How to take care of my thobe for long usage?

Always follow the washing instructions provided on the care label, use cold or warm water when washing and air-dry your thobe instead of using a tumble dryer.

Does wearing a thobe count as Sunnah?

There are no specific Sunnahs pertaining to wearing a thobe, but the Prophet (PBUH) did urge the men to wear loose clothing and modest apparel.
