WISDOM AND SOUND ADVICE FROM THE TORAH






                     Using the turban:


                      He (the Prophet Muhammad [may God bless him and
                      grant him peace]) would wear the turban over his skull-
                      cap. 9

                      According to the account, the Prophet (may God bless him
                      and grant him peace) would wind his turban around him
                      three or five times. 10

                      He had a turban referred to as al-sahab, and he gave this
                      to the blessed Ali, when Ali came wearing this turban
                      God's Messenger (may God bless him and grant him peace)
                      said, "Ali has come to you inside al-sahab." 11



                     Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a
                     clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of
                     the Lord stood by. (Zechariah, 3:5)


                                            These are the garments they are to
                                               make: a breast piece, an ephod, a
                                                   robe, a woven tunic, a turban
                                                   and a sash. (Exodus, 28:4)

                                                    They are to wear linen tur-
                                                    bans on their heads and linen
                                                   undergarments around their
                                                    waists. They must not wear
                                                     anything that makes them
                                                      perspire. (Ezekiel, 44:18)
