Messi wore Qatar's traditional Bisht
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani made him wear a black gown when he went to collect the world cup trophy. Not everyone can wear this black gown even in qatar and very prestigious and special people have access to it. This gown-like dress is called Bisht which is made from camel's hair. These are made by traditional artisans after months of hard work and are worth lakhs. Representatives of the royal family were also seen wearing the same Bisht worn by Messi.
There are gold wires on some parts of this gown and common people cannot even touch it. Messi was presented as a gift by the Royal Family of qatar and the footballer took the trophy by wearing it, respecting it. It is also a status given to the champion player by the Royal Family.
Fiery on social media over Messi wearing Bisht
On Messi wearing Bisht, a brawl started on social media and some people opposed it. However, professor of Islamic Studies Dr mustafa Baig said that a member of the Royal Family himself wore it on Messi's shoulders.
It is also a way of showing love and respect to the guest along with respect for their culture. The word Bisht also means respect in the Arabic language and has been given as a badge of honour.
