ISLAM IS SUBMISSION OF ONESELF TO THE WILL OF THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD AND ALL IT CONTAINS, ALLAH SUBHANAHUWA TA'LAA. ANIMALS, PLANTS, ROCKS AND ALL THINGS THAT CONSTITUTE NATURE DO SO IN A WAY THAT ALLAH UNDERSTANDS. THEY DON'T HAVE A FREE WILL TO CHOOSE WHETHER TO DO OR NOT.

ONLY HUMAN BEINGS AND JINN HAVE A FREE WILL TO CHOOSE WHETHER THEY WANT TO SUBMIT TO ALLAH OR NOT. IF THEY SUBMIT THEN THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL AND IF THEY DON'T THEY ARE NOT. ALLAH HAS STATED IN THE QURAN THE WAY A WOMAN HAS TO DRESS WHEN THERE ARE ANY MALE MEMBERS AROUND, WHO ARE NOT HER BLOOD RELATIVES. DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN IN ISLAM

THIS IS LIMITED NOT ONLY TO HER DRESS, BUT ALSO HER VOICE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH THAT IT IS ATTRACTIVE. IF SHE HAS TO TALK TO MALES WHO ARE NOT HER BLOOD RELATIVES THEN IT SHOULD BE BUSINESS LIKE TONE AND TALK, NO VAIN TALK.

BEING COVERED DOES NOT MEAN WEARING TIGHT FIGURE HUGGING CLOTHES AND TRANSPARENT CLOTHES. THIS IS NOT CALLED COVERING. IN SUCH CLOTHES A WOMAN ATTRACTS MALE ATTENTION, AND THIS IS A SIN.

SHAKING HANDS WITH MEN IS A PROHIBITED ACT. A WOMAN CANNOT SHAKE HANDS WITH MALES WHO ARE NOT HER BLOOD RELATIVES(MEHRAM) EVEN WITH A GLOVE.

A WOMAN CAN UNCOVER HER HAIR, PART OF ARMS, FEET AND OFCOURSE FACE IN FRONT OF OTHER WOMEN IF SHE IS SURE THAT THESE WOMEN WILL NOT TALK ABOUT HER APPEARANCE TO OTHER MALES.

A WOMAN CAN WORK IF SHE IS AMONG FEMALES, IF SHE IS MARRIED SHE NEEDS HER HUSBAND'S PERMISSION TO WORK.

A WOMAN CANNOT BE ALONE WITH A MALE WHO IS NOT HER BLOOD RELATIVE IN A ROOM, A CAR OR A SMALL PLACE LIKE A LIFT.

MALES WHO COME UNDER THE CATEGORY OF BLOOD RELATIVE ARE: FATHER AND HIS OWN BROTHERS, MOTHER'S OWN BROTHERS, HER OWN BROTHERS AND THEIR OWN SONS, SISTER'S OWN SONS, GRANDFATHER- PATERNAL AND MATERNAL AND OFCOURSE HER SONS AND HIS CHILDREN i.e. HER GRAND CHILDREN, WHICH INCLUDES HER DAUGHTER'S SONS.
