Islam in a Muslim Girl’s Life Naela is an A level student at Walthamstow School for Girls. She said: “Islam is a complete way of life…… I personally believe that Islam, after emphasizing the greater importance of God, is based on standards of human behavior. As a Muslim I have been brought up to hold certain beliefs and to carry out certain practices which have shaped my life. I have to pray five times a day: at dawn, midday, before sunset, sunset and nightfall. Islam states that Muslims should cover all parts of their bodies, with only hands, feet and face revealed. This particularly applied to women since it is believed that a woman’s beauty should be hidden so as not to attract men.
