@brotheribraheem: The Islamic Origins of Western Graduation Attire. The tradition of wearing graduation gowns and caps in the West has its roots in Muslim universities from the 9th century, where European scholars would study and then bring these customs back home. The tassel, flat cap, and gown itself all have symbolic connections to Islamic scholarly practices like using a bookmark in the Quran. This highlights the significant impact of the Islamic intellectual tradition on Western civilization. #islam #quran #sunnah #prophetmuhammadﷺ #laillahaillallahmuhammadrasulullah #monotheism #muslim #salah #alhamdulillah #fitra #tawheed #Allah #convert #repentance #turntoallah #graduation #academictradition #Islamicinfluence #intellectualhistory #culturalexchange
