
Look under the heading The Basic Requirements of a Man's Hijab
and record the requirement of the Muslim males dress code?

Islam dictates that a Muslim man's basic Hijab is the covering of his body
from belly-button to below the knee. Though this sounds like a rather sparse
and loose definition of modesty, there are pertinent reasons as to this ruling.
Men are required to work in Islam, unlike women, who are given the choice
to earn their own income or not. Men are required to support their families
financially regardless of their level of education or background.


What is the accurate translation for the word Jihad?

• The Arabic word Jihad is often translated as holy war, but a more accurate
translation is holy struggle. Islamic scholars say the term holy war was actually
coined in Europe during the Crusades to mean a war against the Muslims.



• If Jihad is required to protect the faith against others, it can be performed
using anything from legal, diplomatic and economic to political means. If there
is no peaceful alternative, Islam also allows the use of force, but there are
strict rules of engagement. Innocents -- such as women, children, or invalids -must never be harmed, and any peaceful overtures from the enemy must be
accepted.
