Dear Mrs. Miller, Hey Mrs. Miller, it's your favorite student, just kidding. I'm in Arabia and having a great time. It's great here there are many people. It's full of deserts with few oases. An oasis is a piece of fertile land in the desert. The only down side is there its super hot and dry outside. The weather averages high 90's and low 100's degrees. It stinks I brought a lot of jackets guess I won’t be using those. This stamp I got was pretty nice it’s a piece of Arabian pottery. They made pottery here but it's tiring standing in the hot sun all day building a piece of clay. It is just not worth it here. Hope your having a good time in SD you should come out and visit sometime because it's great just chilling here. Send me a postcard back sometime telling me how everyone's doing. Hopefully I'll see you sometime here. Sincerely, Ryan

** Comparing Monotheistic Religions **

1. What does monotheistic mean? To believe in one god or religious leader.


 * || ** ISLAM ** || ** CHRISTIANITY ** || ** JUDAISM ** ||
 * What are the names of the scriptures (holy books) they use? || Qur’an || Bible || Torah ||
 * Who is the central person of the religion? || Muhammad || God || Moses ||
 * What is the religion’s symbol? || Crescent Moon || Cross || Star of David ||
 * of What are the holy cities? || Mecca || Jerusalem || Israel ||
 * What is the name of their “house of worship”? || Mosque || Church || Synagogues ||
 * What days do they worship? || Friday || Saturday and Sunday || Sunday ||
 * What are their “Holy Days”? || Exodus || Sabbath || Sabbath ||
 * What is their diet like? Do they have dietary restrictions? || Islam’s can eat everything that’s good and healthy that restricts pork alcohol and addictive drugs. || Normal can eat anything they feel like eating. || No meat expect Kosher meat. ||
 * What are their spiritual leaders called? || Imam || Pastor or Priest || Rabbis ||


 * || SUMMARY: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are very different. They all have different leaders and holy book. The Islam holy book is called a Qur’an unlike Judaism and Christianity. Judaism and Christianity’s book are called the Torah and Bible. Each religion have different day to worship and different holy day. This religions are special and unique in their own ways. ||

False
 * 1) Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam is not a monotheistic religion.

True
 * 1) The first pillar of Islam is a declaration of faith that there is one god, and Muhammad is his messenger.

False
 * 1) The prophet Muhammad was a poor man living in Egypt before he became a Muslim

True
 * 1) The Quran is Islam’s holy book.

False
 * 1) The second pillar of Islam asks Muslims to pray twice a day.

False
 * 1) Muslims are not required to donate to charity.

True
 * 1) Muslims fast and avoid inappropriate thoughts and actions during the month of Ramadaan.

True
 * 1) The fitth pillar of Islam is called hajj and involves a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

The third because it’s difficult to find away with your money to be able to donate constantly be donating to charity.
 * 1) What pillar would be the most difficult for you and why?

Hadiths are the words of Muhammad. For example, “A perfect believer is one whose heart likes the teachings of Allah [God] and His Messenger [Muhammad]”. Another example is, " Whoever looks after orphans is just like the one who spends his days and nights in the worship of Allah [God]”. These were strong words to the Muslim religion. These were important because it made a better Muslim. Without Hadiths Muslims would be lost in the world.

Photo Gallery:

1. They are all different settings of their everyday lives doing different things. They are all women dressed in a head dress. Also in the picture with the little girl it shows paint on her face and on the others it shows women reading what looks like a holy book.

2.I think this because Islam is a very "divided" place to stay. They are many different beliefs you can believe in.
