Abstract (EN)

The primary goal of the present research is to explore the phenomenon of fame, which is an expression of the desire to be acknowledged and known and has taken on new significance in modern times, in the context of Kitāb al-Libās and to connect it to the clothing and ornaments utilized during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. By examining the requirements and cautions of the Prophet about clothing and ornamentation from a fresh angle, the study is intended to give light on the answer to the issues brought on by contemporary culture. I will descrtibe the qualities and purposes of the clothing worn at the time of the Prophet, as well as the issues that draw attention in the context of vanity, while examining the Prophet's example in clothing and ornamatation. The phenomenon of fame is also brought up in relation to individual goods and everyday household items that can be classified as ornaments. The relationship between the concept of fame and the themes of vanity, hypocrisy, and waste in the Kitāb al-Libās aids in establishing the context of the topic. In relation to the Qur'an and hadiths, these ideas—which establish the framework of the phenomenon of fame—are examined. The place of these values in the creation of a healthy society cannot be denied. The Prophet's modesty in dressing and adornment sets an example for Muslims. This kind of wearing, which the Prophet Muhammad refers to as the "dress of fame," is described as a sign of of arrogance, vanity and humiliation toward the other person and is thus prohibited by the Prophet in terms of clothing. The dress of fame's defining characteristic is that it is worn with the goal of vanity and arrogance. It was recognized as a sign of ostentation and fame to wear a dress that was longer than the heels, which was the norm during the Prophet's day and displayed arrogance. It might be argued that the garments worn with the intent of exhibiting arrogance, vanity, or gaining fame can also be judged in this context given the social traits of contemporary societies.
