Islam is a religion started by the Prophet Mohammed around 750a.d\nWhile fasting in the desert, Mohammed saw a vision of the angel Gabriel who gave him a message from God telling him to start a new religion called Islam.\nThere are 5 basic tenants if Islam that are practiced by believers.\n1. Declare that there is only one god and Mohammed is his prophet.\n2. Pray 5 times each day facing Mecca (the birthplace of Mohammed)\n3. Give alms\n4. Fast for one month each year (from sunset to sunrise)\n5. Make a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your life.\n\n"Islamic" is usually refering to one who practices the religion of Islam.

There are some rules that are set, and some "customs" that are practiced.\n\n**Mandatory**\n1. Fasting (not eating/drinking) from dawn until sunset.\n\n2. Refraining from sexual intercourse from dawn until sunset - from sunset until dawn it is permissible for those who are married.\n\n3. Refraining from gossip, anger, envy, greed, impatience, etc during the entire month - more so than other months (ie the effort is usually stronger)\n\n4. Keeping to the five prayers that are incumbant upon the Muslim every day of the year.\n\n5. Proper Intention of Fasting to please God\n\n**Highly Recommended Practices (according to the way of the Prophet)**\n1. Suhoor - having a light meal before commencing with the fast - this happens before the dawn arrives\n\n2. Finishing a complete recitation of the entire Qur'an in that month (or more if you are able)\n\n3. Taraweeh Prayer - There are prayers held only during Ramadhan after the latest prayer in the day - for around 1 1/2 - 2 hours every day. They are not mandatory, but are highly recommended.\n\n4. Increasing worship in the Last ten nights - praying at night, reading more Qur'an, etc\n\n5. Increase in Giving Charity to others\n\n6. Staying in the mosque during the last ten nights to seclude yourself for worship (it can be for even an hour - and up to all ten days)\n\n**Oft Practiced by Choice (you'll find some people prefer to do some other things such as )**\n\n1. Not watching TV or movies\n2. Not listening to music (as Islam doesn't allow music outside of drums - though when some choose to listen to it regardless, they'll stop during this month)\n3.Wearing clothing that are more modest\n4. Not wearing makeup (although makeup should not be worn for the women, when some choose to wear it regardless, during this month, many give it up)\n5. Less wasting time\n\nAnd then there are some practices that people have which are not recommended such as:\n1. Overeating\n2. Sleeping during the day and waking up during the night - repeating that all over\n3. Neglecting to worship God, while thinking they are because they are fasting\n4. Wasting time\n\namong other "cultural things"\n\nAnyhow, hope that helps!

It will depend on the religion of the person (or yu and your soon to be groom).  The person performing the ceremony should have a rehersal beforehand to walk you through it.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām (listen (help·info)), "submission (to the will of God)") is a monotheistic faith, one of the Abrahamic religions, and the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God revealed his divine word directly to mankind through many prophets and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

Muslim wedding has 2 parts: first more related to engagement, second part - the actual wedding. They can follow very close or (usually) be few months or even years apart. Without wedding itself marriage is not legal.I went on two of them, got some pics.

if anything called superstition, then NO RELIGION can accept such label. But you may change your question as saying "is there any superstitions among muslims coming from traditions?"\n\nmay be your question is one of these superstitions about islam. am I wrong?\ngo to the source first:)

In the Qur'aan it says, "...then marry women of your choice, two or three or four, but if you fear that you will not deal with them equally then only one..." from the fourth surah(chapter), third verse. I've only given part of the verse cos its pretty long

first of all, about death.Muslims believe that death is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person's existence. Rather, eternal life is to come, and we pray for God's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the life to come.\n\nand the funerals, when a muslim person dies.A family member arranges the funeral immediatly without delay.The eyes of the deceased should be closed, and the body covered temporarily with a clean sheet. It is forbidden for those in mourning to excessively wail, scream, or thrash about. Grief is normal when one has lost a loved one, and it is natural and permitted to cry.\n\nMuslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead\n\nIn preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan).\n\nThe deceased is then taken to the cemetery for burial (al-dafin). While all members of the community attend the funeral prayers, only the men of the community accompany the body to the gravesite\nThe deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca. At the gravesite, it is discouraged for people to erect tombstones, elaborate markers, or put flowers or other momentos. Rather, one should humbly remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased.\n\nLoved ones and relatives are to observe a 3-day mourning period. Mourning is observed in Islam by increased devotion, receiving visitors and condolences, and avoiding decorative clothing and jewelry. Widows observe an extended mourning period (iddah), 4 months and 10 days long, in accordance with the Qur'an 2:234. During this time, she is not to remarry, move from her home, or wear decorative clothing or jewelry.\n\ni hope this is what you were looking for.Sorry if it was too long

Sorry, Beautiful, got to disagree with you.\n\nI know, it's a popular mantra that the Baha'i Faith has no, or practically no, rituals.  It simply isn't true.  However they have been kept to a minimum, and it is forbidden for any rituals not specified in scripture to be introduced.\n\nSome other rituals -\nthe sequence of activities at the 19 Day Feast;\nthe recitation of a specific prayer in the wedding ceremony;\nthe recitation of a specific prayer at Baha'i funerals;\nDawn Prayers,\nthe recitation of the daily Obligatory Prayers;\nthe movements associated with the medium and long Obigatory Prayers.\n\nThe danger of ritual is that all too often the form of the ritual becomes more important than the content.\n\nIn spite of this, many Baha'is and Baha'i communities have de facto rituals, generally accepted ways of going about religious activities.  I can remember when a Baha'i meeting was not considered complete until everyone stood in a circle holding hands and singing the 9 fold Allah-u-Abha.  At first it was kind of neat.  But after 10 years or so it largely became a meaningless ritual.  It's rarely done now, at least in the communities I have been in.  As a result, it can have meaning, for instance at the conclusion of an annual Regional Baha'i School.

Yes and no (although Mosque and state would be more appropriate).  I would say it's more of a hybrid.\n\nBangladesh's originial constitution of 1971 established it as a secular republic.  Since then, two successive military governments have ammended the constitution to make Islam the state religion.  None of the 3 democraticaly elected governments rolled back these ammendments.\n\nIn practice, most laws are secular.  There are some notable exceptions including:\n     1. Difficulty in obtaining alcohol.  Only select clubs, hotels, and associations may legally serve it (you can also buy it in the Airport duty free).  In reality, it's readily available in the black market, and not enforced for private occasions.\n     2. Certain portions of the Islamic code apply for inheritance.   Individuals have the right to opt out.  Religious minorities are exempt.\n     3. The blasphemy law is enforced on occasion (highly politicized).  Interestingly, it's a carry over of British common law from the colonial days, but I mention it since it is currently use to suppress publications deemed un-Islamic.  The courts have the right to overturn judgements and have done so.

Depends on which religion you are talking about, my dear. There are only some 20 or 30 different religious practices in the world, with over 1,000 sects. You'll have to be more specific.\n\nHowever, the basic goal of almost every religion is an effort to become closer to the divine.
