Ok I really hope you don't take offense to what I am going to say:

Does God really care what clothes we are wearing when we are praying? Any god. Be it Allah, Krishna, Jesus...whoever...does it really matter?

In my opinion, if you do believe in god, being a good human being and being true and sincere in your prayer should be more than enough.

For example Razia: She and her husband preach tehzeeb and the likes and they probably dress up exactly as the way society and culture tells you to but are they true Muslims? In my opinion they are not. Wearing the proper attire didn't make them more respectful.

Or even in Hinduism where some people chant the name of god every morning of every day...do their bhajans etc but then turn around and do criminal things...are they truly respectful?

Personally, if god truly existed, I don't think he would care what position you sat in or how you held your hands or that you wore jeans. He will care that you are good, truthful and kind person. So, I don't think Zoya was wrong to wear what she is comfortable in to talk to her god.

I understand religion is a sensitive topic and I truly mean no offense.

No I understand where you are coming from and what you are saying... I'm a liberal girl myself and I also wear jeans and t-shirts.. I now the main respect and love is in the heart... But, during prayers, in Islam especially..there are a set of rules that are mandatory to follow... And attire and position is two of them... It's in the Quran itself..., I have no problem with Zoya's dressing.. It's fine... But during such events, we don't dress that way no matter how modern we are... Your heart needs to be pure yes, which is the most important thing.. But, Allah also said that if you really truly care from the heart, you should be willing enough to follow a set of regulations which only shows a little more respect towards the all mighty and his kaida(rules).. It's not about the clothing, it's about respect... The way we position and dress for prayers is part of giving respect to Allah... We must try to follow the path of Ma Fatemah, daughter of Mohammed SAW, our prophet... No human being is perfect and we all know that, but in Islam , there are a few rules which must be followed... It's not to please the crowd or to make people say how good you are, it's for Allah and his respect... We must present ourselves in a respectful manner which are set through some guidelines , when making prayers.,. Allah said that try to be a good human being which is obviously not in the clothing you wear but also show me some respect 5 times a day through your prayers... I think that if Zoya was willing enough to cover her hair, she should have worn a full length salwar kameez... It's not about what society makes out of us but our respect to Allah... A pure heart is the first most important thing but it does come along with much more... I don't know how I am sounding but you really have to understand the religion to exactly understand my point...
