Women of the Islamic faith are required to follow the full hijab principle when in front of any man that in theory, they could potentially marry. This means that Muslim women do not have to completely observe the hijab principle when in the presence of their male family members, so their father, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, or children. It is also not seen as completely necessary for Muslim women to wear something that shows their observation of the hijab in front of other Muslim women. The way that Muslim women observe the hijab principle varies a lot, which we will explore below. Christians, Muslims and Jewish people, in fact, share many of the stories and traditions that are told in the Old Testament of the Bible.

Sawm (fasting)—Muslims fast during the daylight hours in the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar called Ramadan. The purpose is to remind people of the goodness of what they have and to show equality with the poor. Ramadan is a time for study and self-discipline.This Islamic celebration is of the birth of the prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). This is celebrated in the third month of the Islamic calendar.

The major divisions in the history of Islam arose over questions of leadership of the Muslim community, called the caliphate, not over issues of doctrine. Only later did there emerge sects based on divergent emphases in doctrine and practice. Yet all have continued to recognize each other as Muslims on the basis of allegiance to Allah. Muslims of course get their teachings and principles from the Islamic holy book known as the Qur'an. Below we have two passages from the Qur'an which relates to the Muslim hijab principle:

Like most Muslims, I pray five times a day. I can do it anywhere that's clean and isn't disrespectful to Allah. First, I wash in a special way, which is called Wudu, and then I stand on a prayer mat facing the direction of a building in Saudi Arabia called the Kaaba, which was built by the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). I say the prayer in Arabic and do the same movements every time.
