Is it true that in Islam, you cannot dress like the non-believers?

Bro, what Islam meant you cannot dress like non-believers is : you may not copy the religious dress code of other religions. For example, if you're muslimah you cannot wear a robe exactly like a Catholic nun, or if you're a muslim guy you cannot dress like Hasidic/Jewish, and you cannot wear other religious symbols for accesories like cross, pentacles, David's star, Dianic circle, Hindu swastika, and other symbols.

Why? Because prophet Muhammad himself had forbidden muslims to resemble the non-believers. If you're a Christian yourself, would you wear a David's Star symbol? I bet you won't.

As for jeans, or Tshirt with a lot of skulls ;D they dont represent any religions so it's okay to wear them with one thing to keep in mind : MODESTY.

Skulls are associated with "The World of Darkness".

No, no, as Muslim we should avoid wear t-shirt with skull picture, cannabis leaf picture, satanic picture, or inappropriate picture. There are many beautiful or funny designs that we can choose, like cars, planes, or funny words.

So... I can't wear my pirate shirt anymore? :raging:

Guess I'll have to settle for my dog shirt, then... ;D
 
The clothes we wear, how clean we are, our body odors, the length of our hair, whether or not we have a beard most definitely is a large part of a person's personal image that he projects outward to other people. People use that image we project to make an opinion (good or bad) about you. Some people could care less what other people think of them, whether they are Muslims or not, but I think it is important for us to be a postive example of what a Muslim is.

I don't like death metal. It sounds like my dogs barking set to a bunch of dudes banging on their mother's pots and pans.

Run, while you can!! Muhahahahaha! ;D
 
There's nothing evil or dark about skulls. Symbols mean whatever you choose to mean by them, and skulls have had all kinds of different symbolism over time, very little of it being intentionally evil.
 
It is true. The Prophet [saw] said to be different from the disbelievers and whoever imitates a certain people then he is considered as belonging to them. However this is to do with those things specifically to that type of group. For example, if it is known that prostitutes where certain types of clothes, it is not allowed for Muslims women to dress like that [in private and public]. Or if it is known that homosexuals where certain type of clothing, it should not be worn...and so on.

With jeans, it is not specific to any particular people so theres nothing wrong with it - however the skinny jeans and ripped up ones should be avoided
