Arabs in classical times, we find scattered and scant information about their clothing. The Greek historian Herodotus mentions that the Arabs used to wear a robe known as the Zeira, which is a long, loose robe tied in the middle with a belt. What Herodotus mentioned is definitely the Izar, and it is also written Azr and Mi'zar, just as in Arabic and colloquial texts in the Middle Ages it is written Izar. The izar is a robe that is worn like an abaya to cover the body, or wrapped around the waist. This is confirmed by what the historian Strabo mentioned about the Nabataean Arabs, that they did not wear a coat, tied a belt around their waist, and wore slippers on their feet. The way Muslim pilgrims wear the izaar when entering ihram shows us well the ancient way of wearing the izaar.
The oldest evidence of clothing worn by ancient Arabs are rock paintings in the Arabian Peninsula during the second and first centuries BC. These drawings show men wearing relatively few clothes that are not limited to men alone, and we also see a variety of head coverings. This was mentioned in a book written by E. Anati, about the rock paintings in central Arabia, was published in Louvain in 1968 AD. Images of some women appeared in this early period with their bodies completely wrapped in clothing. In these drawings we see types of slippers and sandals worn by men and women. These Arabs who lived within the cultural environment of one of the great civilizations were in fact influenced by the fashions of these civilizations. Clothes are a manifestation of culture, not just arts, literature, and architecture. Thus, we see statues of Arab kings in urban areas in Iraq depicted wearing Parthian-style clothing
1 . Some statues also appear in long-sleeved cloaks, and we see other statues in Persian trousers and a military feston cord. As for the Arabs who lived in the cities spread in the Levant desert, they wore clothes in the Eastern Hellenistic style.
As for the Bedouins, they have preserved their established traditions in clothing embroidery since the pre-Islamic period until the present time. Throughout the Islamic world, loose clothing was a very common feature of men's and women's fashion. Ibn Khaldun mentioned in the introduction that the blanket that covers the body was the preferred clothing among village residents. What Ibn Khaldun mentioned needs some clarification, as it is proven that the inhabitants of the cities also wore the blanket, which was decorated with woven decorations and worn over tight clothes. Bedouins always preferred to wear black clothes. In the Babylonian Talmud, Arab black clothing was mentioned in its dark blue colour. In pre-Islamic poetry, clothing was mentioned from time to time, especially external clothing such as the cloak, the garment, the robe, and the shawl. The historian Tertullian mentions that Arab women used to appear in public places wearing abayas that completely covered the body so that only one of the woman’s eyes was visible, and this tradition continued in some places such as Iran, southern Algeria, and Morocco. As for wearing sandals among Arabs, it dates back to prehistoric times, and wearing sandals was necessary due to the harsh nature of the land. Many depictions of people in the rock engravings appeared wearing distinct types of slippers or sandals that appear to be woven around the foot."

Wapo waliokua wakivaa Veil (hijabu) ila nazo hazikua zikifunika kwa usahihi ndio maana hata Aya iliposhuka kuwaambia wavae Hijabu ilisisitiza kufunika shingo na vifua vyao,
Qur’an 24:31
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.”
