3rd Requirement: Thickness: The Prophet Muhammad once warned that in later generations, there would be people "who are dressed yet naked." See-through clothing is not modest, for either men or women. The clothing must be thick enough so that the color of the skin it covers is not visible, nor the shape of the body underneath.
4th Requirement: Overall appearance: The overall appearance of a person should be dignified and modest. Shiny, flashy clothing may technically meet the above requirements, but defeat the purpose of overall modesty.
5th Requirement: Not imitating others: Islam encourages people to be proud of who they are. Muslims should look like Muslims, and not like mere imitations of people of other faiths around them. Women should be proud of their femininity and not dress like men. And men should be proud of their masculinity and not try to imitate women in their dress. For this reason, Muslim men are forbidden from wearing gold or silk, as these are considered feminine accessories.
6th Requirement: Decent but not flashy: The Quran describes that clothing is meant to cover our private areas, and be an adornment (Quran 7:26). Clothing worn by Muslims should be clean and decent, neither excessively fancy nor ragged. One should not dress in order to gain the admiration or sympathy of others.
Beyond the Clothing: Behaviors and Manners: Islamic clothing is but one aspect of modesty. More importantly, one must be modest in behavior, manners speech and appearance in public. Dress is only one aspect of the total being, and merely reflects what is present on the inside of a person's heart

Question: explain Islamic laws about food?
According to the religion of Islam, it is compulsory for all Muslims to eat and drink only in the manner set forth in the Islamic holy book, the Koran. Food that is considered "halal," or prepared according to the Koran's dictates, must meet a number of strict guidelines related to ingredients, preparation and cooking.
No Filth
Halal food must not include or come into contact with any food or substance that Islamic law considers filthy, including filth itself, pork, blood and carrion, and clean substances that have come into contact with filth.
Animals
In the Koran, animals are divided into two categories: land animals and water animals. All land animals can be eaten except pigs; dogs; carnivorous animals that kill and slash, such as tigers and bears; scavengers and birds of prey; animals permitted to be freely killed in Islam, such as rats, scorpions and centipedes; animals forbidden from being killed in Islam, such as ants, bees and woodpeckers; and animals that are considered repulsive, such as lice and maggots. All water animals can be eaten except those that are intoxicated or harmful to humans.
Plants
All plants can be eaten except those toxic to humans.
Water
Beverages can be consumed in all forms, except those that are filthy, harmful to humans or contain alcohol.
Slaughtering of Animals
There are a number of rules related to slaughtering animals for food. The animal must be killed with as little pain as possible. The killing must be done by a healthy, mature Muslim of sound mind who is aware that the animal is a gift from Allah and who thanks Allah for it. The animals must be living in a comfortable habit and not be in a state of stress. When killed, the respiratory tract, esophagus and jugular vein must be severed to maximize bloodletting and minimize pain to the animal. The instrument used to kill the animal must be sharp, to minimize pain, and must not be made of bones, nails or teeth.
Alcohol
Muslims may not drink alcohol, but most Islamic leaders allow medicines and fragrances containing alcohol to be used, as well as the consumption of certain fermented
Storage
All halal foods must be stored, displayed and served separately from other foods, to prevent contamination.
Preparation
Halal food can only be prepared using equipment that has not been contaminated by other food. This includes knives, containers and preparation areas. The food must be free from infestation by vermin or insects, and workers preparing the food must be in good health and wearing protective clothing to maintain the food's cleanliness. The kitchen and washrooms must also be kept clean as well.
