To wear or not to wear---that is the question. <BR/>There are two things from which a muslim takes guidance---one is the Quran, and the other are the sayings/traditions of the Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) or the "Hadiths" (the two are not the same thing--the Quran is not considered as "sayings" of the Prophet, it is simply considered as revelations.).
