prayer cap
Mosque head covering
A prayer cap is a close-fitting head covering worn by Muslim men, especially during prayer.
The cap signifies humility and respect before God.
Styles vary by region—the kufi in West Africa and America, the taqiyah in Arab countries, the topi in South Asia.
Some men wear prayer caps only for worship; others wear them throughout the day as a sign of piety.
