What you need to keep about Islam

Do not eat from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan. Don't schedule almost anything that month.

The five pillars of Islam
- There is no God but Allah and Muhammad was his last massager.
- Pray 5 times a day facing Mecca
- Donate money to charity
- Fast and practice self control during the month of Ramadan
- Take a pilgrimage to the kabbah at least once in your life if possible
Dress
Wemen
- Must cover the entire body except hands and face. Covering the face with a Niqab is optional and perhaps even preferred.
- Must wear a khimar that covers the head, neck and bosom.
- Should wear a jilbab that enshrouds the entire body and covers any open spots.
- Clothing must not be tight or transparent. Wearing such clothing defeats the purpose of covering the body.
- Women must wear hijab in front of all non-Mahram men.
Men
- Must cover their awrah (from the navel to the knee) in front of all unrelated women.
- Must not wear gold or silk or any effeminate clothing.
- Should keep their lower garment above the ankles
