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.
