Eating and drinking did not come about because of Islam, The prophet was not the first one to eat and drink, and all kinds of people eat and drank including polythiests, christians and jews. So I guess thats ENOUGH!

Other people may well have been wearing headgear but maybe Islams differed from theirs. If you gonna say all those things which other faiths did at that time/do, like Islam, then you will come unstuck. Islam has taught us how do do things in the correct way. the way in which Allah will become most happy with us.
Asslamo Allaikum,

Lets go with your logic for a minute here...

If headgear was wore by previous nations and previous prophets and Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) continued the practise then that you would add more weight to the argument and not lessen it, i.e. if ALL PROPHETS followed a practise and We (Muslims) believe that all prophets were DIVINELY GUIDED , then why would we want to IGNORE the practise of previous nations and previous prophets (including Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam))?

Surely prophets have more knowledge & wisdon then us?
Well the thing is the Prophets dressed according to THEIR CULTURE!! they didnt differenciate themselves from their people ( as long as this didnt contradict the principles of the message they were going to propogate) why is this soooooooooooo difficult to understand!! Did Prophet Abraham or Prophet Adam dress like Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all)?

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dressed the way he did because he was born and bred in Arabia H edressed according to his culture (naturally) and according to that era( naturally) The people of his land nowadays dress differently..the thobes are different and their 'igal is different too ( this maybe because they came from different parts of the expanded Arabia from different tribes etc).Inspite of this you see brothers everywhere dress like the modern Gulf Arabs (khaleejis) thinking they are fulfilling an Islamic Obligation!!!

Prophet Muhammed (p)had personal tastes..a preferred mode of transport, preferred type of food, preferred type of fragrance('ithir) and a preferred type of dress and even a preferred type of colour!! Does that mean we have to take that as directives of Allah and thus binding upon every Muslim ??? In that case it becmes prohibited (haram) to have any likes or dislikes if this contradicts with the Prophet's opinions!! Inna Lillilah wa inna ilayhi raji'oun!!
