Dietary Requirements

  • The Quran prohibits the consumption of alcohol and

pork.

  • Muslims won’t eat any food that has touched pork.

For example: picking the pepperoni off pizza isn’t going to work.

  • Muslims follow certain standards called Halal

(permissible) to slaughter meat.

  • Some Muslims won’t eat any meat that isn’t certified

Halal and some will, as long as it’s not pork.

Dressing Modestly: Clothing and Dress

  • In public, Muslim women wear

loose-fitting, non-revealing clothing, known as Hijab or Khimar

  • This attire may vary in style and

includes a head covering

  • Some believe they do not need

to cover their hair in order to maintain modest dress

Slide 21

  • Muslim men are also required to dress modestly
  • You might see some Muslim boys wearing a small,

sometimes flat cap on their heads. This is called a Kufi and although it isn’t required, some guys like to wear it all the time as a symbol of their religion.

  • If you see someone wearing a turban it doesn’t

necessarily mean they are a Muslim. In fact chances are they’re not.

  • Turbans are a symbol of a religion called

Sikhism, which has nothing to do with Islam.

  • Cultural symbols for some countries in the

Middle East so some men may wear one but it looks very different from a Sikh turban.

Gender Relations

  • Muslims are not allowed to date so excessive

male and female interaction is generally limited.

  • In this regard, some Muslims may not attend

school dances or socials because some parents may not approve of the environment (too much boy/girl interaction)
