God’s Religion: Islam

A Muslim is a person who follows the path of Islam. The holy book of Islam is the Qur’an. Like any other religion it also has its holy book. Islam is a religion that is growing at an accelerating rate. Muslims have to pray 5 times a day. Each prayer has its own name. It goes in order the prayers are Fajir, Duhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.

Islam is my religion that is why it is very important to me. My entire on my mothers side have been Muslims since as long as we have known. My mom is a Muslim and I am too. I also need to learn about it as much as I can. I want to be faithful to my god that is why I am a Muslim. I believe that this religion is the right path (I am saying this as my own opinion).

Islam fascinates me that is why I chose it. Being Muslim is kind of fun. The cool thing about it is that you can have some privileges that some other kids who are Muslim can’t. This only applies to boys and girls who are Muslim. Since I am a guy I get more privileges than Muslim women. Which is kind of cool but is kind of bad at the same time? For example when you go to a funeral only the boy are allowed to the graves. The women have to stay behind. I chose it above all so that I could hit two birds with one stone. I would get my I-Search done and learn more about Islam.

What I Knew

I knew a lot about my topic when I started out. My entire family on my mother’s side is Muslim. I knew that Jesus was a prophet and Muslims believe that Jesus is not the son of god. The signs of our hands in Arabic it says “Allah” which means “God” but it only says that when you put your hands together. The Qur’an is Muslims Holy book which we learn a lot from. Young Muslim kids have to memorize the entire Qur’an from cover to cover which 300 pages or more I am no very sure.

I wasn’t really sure about the Muslim version of Jesus went. I always thought of the Christian way happened I didn’t even know about the Muslim version of how the story went. I also didn’t know that there were Muslim wars. I always thought that Muslims were peaceful all the time but sometimes we have to fight for our god.
