The traditions of the Muslim religion have been fulfilled for hundreds of years, when this religion gained importance in the world, being practiced by a large number of people, mainly from Asia and some countries in Africa. These traditions are important to fulfill God’s will and to earn his love and forgiveness for sins.

In this sense, one of its best known traditions in the world is that women should cover themselves in public, so that they cannot show their beauty to anyone other than their husband or family. This way of life is derived from a part of the Koran where it is stated that God wants the woman to cover herself so that she is recognized by him and does not suffer any harm.

It is for this reason that it is very common to see women covered from head to toe in countries with large concentrations of Muslims. Then, to fulfill this, different garments have been created that cover the woman completely or partially.

There are garments such as the abaya that covers nothing else from the shoulders to the legs, which can be decorated and is accompanied by a veil to cover the head. However, there is a very controversial garment that covers the whole body of the woman: the burka.

The burka is a kind of tunic that goes from the head to the feet, which covers even the eyes of the woman, reducing her vision and therefore her mobility. The design of this garment is essentially the same, with the difference that it only changes the length of the tunic and the colors, having that dark colors are the most used.

The origin of the burka goes back hundreds of years before the creation of Islam, where people in the deserts, both men and women, used a similar garment that allowed them to shelter from the wind and sandstorms. It was later that it began to be used as a way to cover the woman. If you want to know more about the origin of the burka you can search for information on the internet.

Currently, the burka is not widely used, since it has been shown that it can even generate health problems in women.
