They are a symbol with Indian, Afghan, and Sikh men, as well as Iranian leaders and Muslim religious leaders. In the holy Quran, (7: 31) Surah Al A raf tries to tell the Children of Adam to Wear their beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: To eat and drink: But not to waste any excess, for God loves people who are not wasteful.
