A Profession with Deep Roots in History
Sewing is one of the oldest professions, and according to Islamic tradition, Prophet Idris (AS) was the first to stitch garments. Before him, people wore animal hides, but Allah gifted him with the knowledge of tailoring, making him the first to sew with a needle and thread. This sacred craft has since been a means of sustenance, creativity, and empowerment for countless generations.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also valued sewing, and it is narrated that he himself mended his own clothes. In a hadith, Aisha (RA) said:“He (ﷺ) used to stitch his own clothes, mend his own shoes, and do what men do in their homes.”(Ahmad). He also said: “The best Pastime for a woman is the spindle” (Adi & Ibn al-Jawzi)
This tradition highlights the dignity of skilled labor and self-reliance, values that Mozaic Sewing Studio upholds in its mission.
