What is Islam?

Islam is a religion that people may follow. I did some research based on the characteristics below. I found the information below.

Founder:

The founder of the Islam religion is Muhammad of Mecca, Arabia.

Followers & Locations Today.

There are 13 billion followers of the Islamic religion. Today the locations of people following the religion are the Middle East and North Africa.

Holy Books.

They only have one holly book that they follow. This book is Qur'an (Koran). This means the recitation. Muslim's believe this book to be the divine guidance and direction of mankind. They believe the book was brought to Muhammad by a angle. Muslim's say that the book was written down by Muhammad's companions while he was alive.

Religious Holidays.

There are a lot of religious holidays that they believe in. Some are:

• Al-Hijira--Islamic New Year.
• Ramadan--Month of Fasting.
• 'Id Al-Fitr--Festival of Breaking Fast.
• 'Id Al-Adha--Festival of Sacrifice.

Rituals/Customs.

Muslims are required to wear modest clothes as custom. Muslim Women must cover their hair and entire body except hands and face when in public. Muslim men are asked to cover from navel down.

Particular Dress/Clothing.

Women: Clothing must cover entire body and should be thin to where one can see trough. Only hands and face must be seen. Women clothing can't resemble male clothing. Design should not be bold so that it attracts attention. Also, the clothing should not be tight fitting so that the shape of the body appears. Above is a picture of how how the women dressing looks.

Hierarchy/organization

In Islam there is no hierarchy that I could find. They say with the absence of the Hierarchy it makes it easier to adapt to local conditions but also difficult for them to achieve any sort of degree.

Chid Abuse.

Hey I found this website on Child Welfare, which is the name of the site but it tells you about the types of abuse, how to identify it, how to prevent it also how to respond to it. Child abuse is a really bad thing because people just hit them or shake them and then the babies just suffer through it and sometimes they die. There are ways to prevent child abuse from happening and even ways to identify when a child is abused and what type it is. If you go to website and you read about this problem you can more then likely identify child abuse and help the child. Children don't deserve to be abused because their parents are just angry and then take it out on them. In my opinion parents or people that would ever do this don't deserve to be parents because children don't deserve the pain and suffering of abuse because they're angry. Take time to read this site and maybe you can help a child.

Why do people fight in school?

High School... it's a big place, a lot of people, and there tends to be fights. Well I don't understand why when they for one know they're going to get in trouble and for two if you're going to there is other places to go outside of school, fight anyway. Why fight? What's the point in it? Honestly I believe that sometimes people fight because they just want their name to be out there, also because of rumors, which are started by people who like to gossip. If it turns out that its just a rumor, there usually all lies, and then the person, that its about, would probably want to find out who started it then confront them about it. That person doesn't want to talk because their all worked up about so they take a swing at the other person for doing it and it turns out to be one big mess. When you run from a fight, what do you honestly think is going to happen? Obviously the person is going to get you sometime. The person isn't just going to leave you alone. Fighting can also make you look immature. If you're going to be immature about a rumor that you no is a lie, don't do it in school to the point where you're suspended for a week. two weeks. So my answer to my question on why do people fight in school has not really been answered but that's what i think on it.
