Umm Salamah, also known as Hind bint Abi Umayya was one of the Prophet Muhammad's wives. She heard him sayys, "Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection." Umm Salamah then asked, "What should women do with their hems?". He then replied, "Lengthen them by a handspan." "She said, "But then their feet will show." "Lengthen them by a cubit, but no more than that."

What a good example Umm Salamah was she's not one of those who show off and are arrogant. Muslim women should be modest and chaste, pure and noble. Their feet should not show and their clothes should have long hemlines that drag along the ground behind them so that men will not see anything of them. But women nowadays - except those whom Allah have mercy - raise their hemlines as much as they can, for fear of getting wet or dirty, and in imitation of the disbelieving women who appear virtually naked. They make a thousand excuses for appearing as if naked and for behaving in an immoral manner - there is no strength and no power except Allah. Their menfolk are men only in name, walking at their side and not caring about the loss of modesty.
