islamic religion


Islam other know as Muslims, is a very wide religion, worlds second largest religion actually. There are between 0.7 to 1.2 billion followers in the world. Which is about 21 % of earths population. Islam was found my Muhammad. There holy books consist of The Qur'an (literal words), The Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (scrolls of Abraham), The tawart (the pentateuam), The Zabur ( psalms from Hebrews scriptures), The Injil (the gospels), and The Hadith ( collected saying of Muhammad). Some of their important holidays consist of Al-Hijra/ Muharram (the Muslim new year), Mawildal- Nabi (celebration of Muhammad's birth) which is like a Christmas for Islamics, then also Ramadan which is the holiest period in the Islamic year, held during the entire ninth lunar month of the year. In the Islam religion they have to fallow a set of rules/ standards that are called the five pillars of Islam. 1. You must recite the Shahadah. 2. Perform the Salat five times a day. There's Fajr (in morning), Zuhr (in the noon), 'Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), then Isha ( at night). 3. You must donate to charity through Zakat regularly. 4. To fast during the lunar month of Ramadan. 5. If economically and physically able then you must makeatless one hajj to mecca. If you were to decide to change your religion to Muslim then you might think there dress code is strict, but they do it for your own good. 1. clothes must cover entire body and only the hands and your face can show. 2. Material must be thick enough to were you can see threw it. 3. Clothing must hang loose so you can't see the body figure of someone. 4. Females clothing must not resemble the males clothing. 5. Must not resemble the clothing of someone who doesn't believe in the Islamic religion. 6. Designs on clothing must not consist of bold designs which attract attention. 7. Clothing must not be worn to gain reputation or to increase one's social status. Then they're no actual Hierarchy in the Islamic religion.

Why fight when you know you're going to get in trouble for it?

When two people conflict in high school it usually always results in a fight. It always starts with someone calling someone else a name or a false rumor starting around school. Then when they go to confront them, things get out of hand. When someone goes to confront them they usually bring their "posse" to back them up. Their friends or the other people who are watching what's going to happen, they always try to get a fight started by yelling out comments to get them pumped, then a fist gets thrown and that's where the fight gets started. Most parents say that when someone tries to fight you to just walk away. But news flash, they have feet to so they will just fallow you until you give them what they want, which is only attention. If someone hits you then you cant just sit there or just walk away. Cause then they'll just walk all over you and it will happen again. But you should never throw the first hit, then it's just all your fault and you get in trouble. There are also was to go around it to avoid fighting all together, but walking away isn't always as easy as they make it seem. You could always go to a teacher and tell them your problem, don't do the hole talk in a circle to see what the problem really is cause that only makes things worst. But if you sit right next to them in a class then ask the teacher nicely for a new seat or if it's really serious then ask for a new schedule. Or when they do go to confront you then don't get sassy and make comments that could start a fight. Even if there yelling and calling you names, take it calmly. Eventually they will just feel like a idiot and walk away realizing that they look as stupid as they feel cause they're yelling at you while you're listening and telling them the true story.
