Things That I've Learned About Islam Religion

I have so many things that I learned about the Islam Religion,such as the Key Components of Islam such as the Ramadan and Hajj.During the Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking; from dawn until sunset.The month of Ramadan is within 28-30 days.Ramadan is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of God's mercy.Ramadan is a time to confess their sins.It is the only way for them to ask forgiveness to their Allah for all their sins that they have committed in their daily lives. For them it is very much important because their year will not be complete if they can't celebrate their Ramadan. And it is celebrated in a 9th month of the year. All Muslims went through fasting because they believe that fasting is a great sacrifice which can help them in asking forgiveness by Allah.And the Hajj is a pilgrimage in Mecca.. The Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God. Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar.The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Ibrahim (Abraham).For me,Muslims are very religious because they sacrifice themselves through fasting.

The Key Components Of Islam:ramadan and Hajj

Key components of Islam:Ramadan and Hajj

1.*Ramadan- It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured; from dawn until sunset.The month of Ramadan is within 28-30 days.Fasting is meant to teach the Muslim patience, modesty and spirituality. Ramadan is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله‎) and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds. As compared to the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving forward about ten days each year as it is a moving holiday depending on the moon. Ramadan was the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were said to be revealed to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.

2.*Hajj-is a pilgrimage in Mecca. It is currently the largest annual pilgrimage in the world,and is the fifth pillar of Islam, a religious duty that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so. The Hajj is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people, and their submission to God (Allah in the Arabic language).The pilgrimage occurs from the 7th to 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, eleven days shorter than the Gregorian calendar used in the Western world, the Gregorian date of the Hajj changes from year to year. In 2007, the Hajj was from December 17–21; in 2008 from December 6–10, and in 2009 it was from November 25–29. Ihram is the name given to the special state in which Muslims live whilst on the pilgrimage,The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Ibrahim (Abraham). Pilgrims join processions of hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals: Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times about the Ka'bah, the cube-shaped building which acts as the Muslim direction of prayer, kisses the Black Stone in the corner of the Kaaba, runs back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drinks from the Zamzam Well, goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, and throws stones in a ritual Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the four day global festival of Eid al-Adha.

Five Pillars of Faith and Major Religious Events

Five Pillars of Faith and Major Religious Events of Islam are:

(1) The recital Shadaha that there is only one GOD.To bear witness that there is no entity worthy of worship except Allah(God) alone, and that Muhammad (pbuh) was His messenger. This establishes obedience to God Almighty alone.
(2)Muhammad as his Prohet. To perform five prescribed prayers to God every day according to a specific prescribed method and at specific prescribed times. This continually reminds us to bear God in mind in all actions, either before or after any given prayer.
(3) Praying five times a day. To pay two and a half percent of ones wealth to charity every year if their savings exceed a certain minimum level which is considered above the poverty level. (This is the basic concept, the actual calculation is a little more complex).

(5)Pilgrimage in Mecca. To perform a pilgrimage to Makkah (in the Arabian Peninsula) once in a Muslim's lifetime if it is financially possible and their health permits. During this period, Muslims come from all over the world to join together for six days in a prescribed set of acts of worship. All Muslim men are mandated to wear the same garment which was designed to be very plain, simple, and cheap to obtain.

Sunscreen Saves Lives

A new study in sun & Skin News confirms scientists suspicions that sun exposures causes the vast majority of malignant melanomas, the most deadly type of skin cancer. The researchers speculate that two out of three cases could be prevented by protecting children from the sun during their first fifth teen years , when their most vulnerable. That most parents don't put sunscreen on their kids. That's unfortunate.A second study reported in the Archives of dermatology confirms that regular use of sunscreen--in children or adults can greatly reduce the risk of precancerous skin lesions.

Martial Arts:the Health Kick

Martial Arts are hot, but its not self-defense that's the big draw now--its the fitness payoff. According to a report in Longevity magazine, a lot of men see martial arts as an alternatives to aerobics classes. They reported on a study from Adolph university that found that karate has the same cardiovascular benefits as low-impact aerobics . Most self-defense discipline involves constant movement --consecutive kicks, punches, grappling--which is the key to heart-and-lung conditioning and calorie burning. As the more vigorous the moves, the calories burned--up to 1000 calories an hour. The arts also build strength and flexibility for a well-rounded workout.

falling inlove; is it sweet or bitter???

Being a teenager is very exciting, because at this point you will experience things that you've never done before, like falling in love or having commitments with others. At this point you will experience how sweet love is. At this very point of your life, you will taste your first kiss, you will be inspired, dreaming about your best man/ideal woman, and become happy. But falling in love is not all about sweet things, you will also experience how love hurts you. Sometimes, it comes to the point that you will have to choose among who you want to be with.Hence,we must decide or think a hundred times and ask our selves " are we really ready to enter this situation?"
