Muslim Clothing Code

        The Hijab is a symbol often characterized with modesty, privacy and morality. It not only refers to the physical body covering, but also embodies a metaphysical dimension, where al-hijab refers to "the veil which separates man or the world from God.” "Hijab can also be used to refer to the seclusion of women from men in the public sphere."


And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their khimār over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husband, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. (Quran 24:3)


Hijab
      When looking up more rules about the social etiquette and code, I found that there are many regulations that Muslims have to follow. For example "it is permissible to keep certain Animals as pets in Islam but certain pets such as dogs and pigs are forbidden."

-I also found etiquette and sleeping, proper etiquette includes "mentioniong the name of Allah "Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem" and lying on your right side in accordance with the Prophet's peace and blessing of Allah"
