  4. Prayer attire in Islam • Adherents of Islam are concerned with clothingin two contexts: clothing for everyday wear, inside and outside the house; and clothing required in religious contexts. • There are different interpretations of what "modesty" requires. • Most agree that it is covering the awrah, from the belly button to the knees for men and from the head to the toes for women except the hands and the face or eyes, depending on what view one follows.

  5. Prayer attire for women • Women - The Qur'an states that women should dress modestly in the presence of unfamiliar men (defined as any man not related through blood). • While observing hijab is defined as covering a woman’s awrah, it is observed to varying degrees depending on culture. • Some Muslim women veil their heads only for prayer.

  6. Abaya, jilbab • A type of outer garment which covers from the head to the feet. • The Abaya in the Persian Gulf has become more of a fashion statement than a dress-code. • Women can often be seen wearing a colorfully designed Abaya, sometimes without a scarf covering her head. • International fashion designers have created Abaya designs for the Gulf market.

  14. TAQUIYAH • A crochet cap that covers most of the head. • It can also be a round, sewn cotton cap that is embellished with embroidery • In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh it is called a topi. In West Africa, it is called a kufi.
