1.)Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam. Hajj was made obligatory in the 9th year of Hijra.
Islam" has been called the "best, short introduction to Islam" and has been published in Foreign Affairs.
The name Ramadan derives from the Arabic word for intense heat and sun-scorched ground.
2.) Islam teaches us that this life is a life of worship. We are placed on this earth in order to worship Allah and obey His command. During this earthly life we are subjected to a series of trials. We have the option of enduring these trials and conforming to certain laws, and our reward will be great in the next life, or we may decline to endure these trials and choose to not conform to the law, then we will be made to regret it in the next life. Each person will be solely and completely responsible for their own final reward. We are also told that God has designed these laws to make this life a better, safer, and more tolerable one for us. If we elect to conform to them then we will see the result in this life even before moving on to the next.
My Essay
Islam is the common religion of all people in Middle East and in many places in Africans. This also the religion of many people in Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.
Ramadan is the muslim's important celebration in which they don't eat within one month. It's the nineth month of the calendar of all muslims.They do this from day to night.They control theirselves not to drink, smoke, think bad, or even to do what they want. They can only eat before the sun shines and after it sets.
Hajj is what we call to those muslims who already gone in Mecca and they are the most praised one among all muslims.
