Jazakallah brother.. can you tell me the length and width of that cloth and what type of cloth is it? cotton,polyster or mixed.. Please do let me know shukran...
The bigger the turban the worse so why would the 'ulama(scholars of Islam) where bigger ones? Im not saying the smaller the better but if it is REALLY big then it has been advised by Muhammad(saws) not to wear it.
very nice video but the brother made a major mistake. it is sunnah to make the imaamah sharif loose. not tight. the brother in the video even sed to pull the cloth from the back, this simply makes it even more tighter
Lastly, any thin white Muslin or gauzy cotton may be used. a good, but expensive, kind is Swiss Cotton Batiste. Silk is haram for men.
As for fraying, having a seamstress sew a small seam along the ends helps.
Weird, but dhotis are cut in a way making almost perfect Amama's. I've caught merchants at ijtimas selling dhotis as amamahs :-) Cotton saris are also almost the perfect length and width.
3. I've found that 5 meters gives you a good 4-5 wrappings. As for width, 21 inches or so works, but try not to use cloth wider than a meter because it will be difficult to work with. In Africa, Sudan, Mauritania, Nigeria, the Amama may really long, some Berbers may have up to 11 meters. A length between 4 - 7 meters seems to be within the Sunnah.
The softer and thinner, the better. Use Voile or similar gauzy cottons. One type of thin muslin is "Mulmul", or "F74". Another is "Rubia".
2. Brother wears a style common to Easterners.The Western Ummah in Africa or the Maghrib traditionally wore the tail ("shamla") under their chins. This style is called "tahannuk". Imam Malik wore it this way and so did some of the students of Imam Abu hanifa (rh)
The cloth is usually cotton, its length depends on the society and age. 5, or 7 meters is not unusual. The Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, had a long and a short one, which could wrap either 3 or 5 times, and Allah knows best.
Salaam alaikum, a few few helpful hints. 1. The cap that the brother calls a toupi or topi is a rigid cap, the name topi is common in South Asia (India or Pakistan), but in Central Asia it is called a dopi, in some areas a Kullah, and the Salaf Arabs used to call it a Qalansuwwa. Any rigid brimless cap will do, like a fez, pheci, tarboush, etc.
Traditional adab; wear a soft kufi ("araqiyya") under, then over that the rigid turban cap (topi/qalansuwwa), then the amama wrapped around it.
Sorry to bother you again, brother, but I must ask... what kind of material do you use? I am using cotton. Also, how do you stop the sides of your fabric from fraying? I am having MAJOR trouble with threads coming loose from the sides.
WOW thanks to tell us how to do that! one question: How long is that thing? 2 or 3 meters?? because i haven't one, ill ask my mom :) Allah Hafiz Khuda Hafiz

Alhamdolillah. I like this way of tying as it makes a Gap for the forehead in sujjud.

May I ask from where does this instruction come?
Is there a hadith about rotations or is this a cultural thing?
