to further clarify for what Akif said, this is applicable to only males only.
Females must be covered till their ankles and wrists, head with a hijab in order to pray : )

God resembles nothing of a human. God has no desire no need, doesn't eat sleep or drink. How we present ourself in front of God is a matter of humility, out of respect.
Allah reham karay in bachoo par 
AMEEN!
Akhi the awrah for a male is navel to knee, and the awrah for the women when praying is everything except the hands and the face.
Allah knows best.

Aaah, ofcourse you had to retaliate in kind, learn to respond calmly, folks are out there who just wanna boil ur blood and challenge you.
I heard a story in a sermon few months ago at juma prayer about patience and endurance and it really inspired me. I hope it does with you (and anyone else who reads this) once your done reading what I'd like to pass on to the rest of the hot heads out there.
I'll cut to the chase and tell you what is relevant out of the sermon:
There was a well known wise man who prayed all night and slept during the noon time. Everyone in the village knew what his schedule was and respected it which is why no one bothered him from noon till evening.
One day he had just fell asleep, someone came and knocked on his door. He got up thinking that everyone knows not to bother him at this time why would anyone do this? So he answered the door and there stood a tradesman.
The tradesman greeted the wiseman,
Tradesman: "I have an important question but as soon as I was graced by your presence, the question has slipped my mind. I will come back another time as soon as I rememeber."
Wiseman had responded that he would gladly answer when he comes back. So the wiseman went back to his bed and fell asleep and not too long again there was a knock on the door. Again it was the same tradesman looking at the wiseman with a blank expression on his face and said "I forgot again", the wiseman had said its ok and he would still answer his question regardless of him forgetting.
Now an hour passed, there was a knock on the wiseman's door again and he answered.
The same tradesman stood there:
Tradesman: "Ok now i remember the question, the question was does faeces taste sweet or salty?"
Now anyone of us would have been furious by that question considering the hours spent at night praying and then in the noon having to face a man with such a ridiculous question.
The wiseman looks at him and smiles,
Wiseman: "Its sweet"
Tradesman: "how do you know? have you tasted it?"
(At this point any of us would have been infuriated)
Wiseman: "No but when you see flies around excrement its usually warm and by that you can tell its sweet, you will not see flies around when it has rotten and dried up, thats how I know."
After witnessing such patience and endurance the tradesman came forth and said
Tradesman: "I'm sorry, I had made a bet with someone that you cannot be such a patient being and wanted to test you patience which is why I did this, please forgive me"
At that point the wiseman did not lose his composure but asked if he had any other questions. Then and there the Tradesman accepted Islam after this even took place : )
I dunno, I learned a lesson or two by reading in between the lines of this story. Maybe you and others should too : )
