The following incident took place when the Great World Boxer
Muhammad Ali's (Clay) daughters arrived at his home
wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the
story as told by one of his daughters:
When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my
younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to
scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as
we could possibly give in one day. My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me
down on his lap and said something that I will never
forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said,
❀"Hana, everything that God made valuable in the
world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find
diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at
the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in
a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down
in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of
rock. You've got to work hard to get to them."❀ He looked at me with serious eyes. ❀"Your body is
sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and
pearls, and you should be covered too."❀ Source: Taken from the book: More Than A Hero:

ALLAH (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:
❀❀❀❀And tell the believing women to reduce
[some] of their vision and guard their private parts and
not expose their adornment except that which
[necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion
of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their
fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their
husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons,
their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right
hands possess, or those male attendants having no
physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not
stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of
their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of
you, O believers, that you might succeed.❀❀❀❀
(Surah An Noor, 31)
