It is Sunnah to cover your head when you are praying and that was a way of showing respect in the old days and even now days where I live wearing "ghutra" is considered a respectful thing to wear in front of older people and ministers and such. also its not a must do in prayers. :)

Answer:

Covering the head, like many things in Islam, paralells things in Jewish Law. It has always been a sign of humility and modesty. Uncovering the head, on the other hand, has always been a sign of vanity and pride.

The Prophet Muhammad covered his head and recommended it to his followers.

When working with Muslims is there anything that you should know about their practices?

Muslims do not drink alcohol or eat pork, ham, bacon, etc.Muslims pray five times a day: at dawn, around noon, in the afternoon, after sunset, and at night. Therefore, if you are an employer, you should consider allowing your Muslim employees five minutes or so to pray the noon prayer. If this is not possible, Muslims can also make up the prayer at the end of the work day.Friday is when Muslims have Jumaa prayer, in which Muslims gather, listen to a sermon, and pray. Again, if you are an employer, you should allow your Muslim employees to go to the mosque during this time.Most Muslim women choose to wear hijab, or a head scarf. This shouldn't pose a problem, but as an employer or fellow worker, you should be aware.Muslims come from all races and nationalities, so there is no one culture that all Muslims belong to.Finally, Muslims are people too.

During prayer our beloved prophet Muhamamd swah head was covered all the time. Weather it was headcap or not is something I don't know. Sorry for that.
