I am Muslim, and this religion is very important, and strict. We have to pray five times a day, and women must show nothing but hands and face and we must give and our holiday is called Ramadan, when we fast, and then after that is a four to three day celebration, it's like halloween.

Muslims have sabbath day, as you mentioned, on Friday. On that day all gather at mosque attend a sermon and prayers after that. Eventhough this prayer is compulsary unless there is some valid reasons, Islam do not forbid working rest of the day. These are the relevant verses from Quran\n\n "O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. " Quran  62:  9\n\n"But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. " Quran 62: 10.

I would be interested in reading about the details of daily life.  What are the restaurants like?  What are the bathrooms like? How many women go out without the hijab?  What's a typical breakfast menu?

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH\nBecause\nIslam is the way of life for those who believe in God and want to live a life in worship and obedience to none but God. The reward is forgiveness from God and an everlasting life in the Heaven.\n\nBelief in one God, Allah in Arabic, constitutes the very foundation of Islam. There is no deity except Allah. He is indivisible and absolutely transcendent. God is the Almighty, the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. Worship and obedience belongs to Allah and Allah alone. Joining other gods with God is an unforgivable sin. Any one who joins other gods with God has strayed far, far away from the Truth.\n\nProphet Muhammad  was born in Makkah, a city in the present-day Saudi Arabia in 570 C.E.  He is a direct descendant of Prophet Ishmael, the first son of Prophet Abraham. Peace and blessings of God be on all His prophets. Muhammad received divine revelations (The Holy Quran) over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of the Christian Era. Muslims believe that he is the last Messenger sent by God for the guidance of mankind until the Day of Judgment. He is the model for humanity of all walks of life to follow until the Last Hour. God sent him as a mercy for the worlds.\n\nThe primary sources of knowledge are the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. Anyone wanting to live a life in worship and obedience to God should follow these teachings. \n\n The Holy Quran (also written as Koran) is the Divine Book revealed to Muhammad (peace be on him). The Holy Quran confirms what was revealed to earlier messengers of God and serves as the Criterion of right and wrong. The Quran is the only divine Book extant in its original text and is therefore the only source of Guidance from God for all mankind.\n\nThe Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad  refers to his sayings and actions, his approvals and disapprovals. The Sunnah is collected in books separate from the Holy Quran and are known as Hadith books. While the Holy Quran is 100% word of God revealed to the Prophet, not every Hadith is authentic. Early Muslim scholars have classified hadith into various categories ranging from different levels of authenticity to false hadith.

Dear brother,\n\nI understand your situation and I have been in the same. What I do is, I come back home and do the normal things and when it is time for the next prayer I start with offering the Kajas (you know) of the Johar and the Asar and even maghrib if that was missed and then get to the Isha. It makes the prayers a bit longer I know, but you know Islam permits us to do the Kajas for lawful reasons and as long as your heart is good you can pray. You are also allowed to take breaks between these kaja salats and get back to do the Isha.\n\nMay you pray well. Allah Hafez\n\nYour sister.

Hello! As a Muslim Woman, the core of Islam is to believe in One God, and that the Prophet Mohammed is His Messanger. That being said, we also believe in the prophets that came before him (ex: Jesus, Abraham, Moses etc...) There are 5 pillars of Islam, ie, five duties one has to accomplish within our lifetime..\n1. Prayer: it is our duty to pray five times a day, each prayer takes several minutes and it is in this way we thank God for our blessings...\n2. Zakat: this means charity, it is our duty to help the poor\n3. Fasting during the month of Ramadhan: abstaning from food from sunrise to sunset. This increases an understanding towards the poor, as well as develops stamina, willpower, etc..\n4. Hajj: Every Muslim must make a pilgramage to Mecca once in a lifetime\n5. Belief in One God and the Prophet Mohammed as His last Messanger...\nHaving said that, Islam also strongly advocates modesty. It is for this reason that many interpret women covering their hair as an example of this. It is believed that if we move away from focus on external looks (which you must admit, take up alot of time!) then we are better prepared to focus on worship etc.. Also, sex before marriage is considered a sin (as it is in Christianity), and it is believed that covering up helps to avoid it. Men are also required to dress modestly.\nI would like to add that only the head should be covered.. This business of covering up the entire face (if you have seen what was shown in Afghanistan) is not required in Islam! there is a confusion between SOCIAL and RELIGIOUS requirements. Additionally, I must add that I myself dont wear a headscarf because I believe that I can be modest in other ways, i dont see it as the most important thing in my religion. Completing the five pillars is the most important, the rest is just an aid to accomplish it. Hope this helps to clear it up.. :)

Ok..Islam is religion of the peace. Its book is Quran.Our prophet is Muhammed..We can pray to Allah at home or in a mosque.We read some parts from Quran with some actions.We must do it 5 times in a day..We have some special days..For example born of our prophet, the day of starting Quran becoming..The famous of them is called Ramazan..We don't eat something from the morning to the evening to understand poor people..We must go Kabe (our holy place) once if we are rich..Now let's come some bad sayings about Islam:\n1. We are not satans and we aren't all like terrorists.We love peace.\n\n2. Our prophet was a good man like the other prophet..6 years old girl or other bad things about him are lies.\n\n3. Our purpose isn't to kill non-Muslims.It's impossible.We respect everyone's beliefs.\n\nNow I remembered these..But there are more..Don't believe some lies about Islam.I'm very happy for you because first you wanted to learn Islam.Some people say bad things without knowledge.\nI hope it helps.\n\nHave a nice day! :-) Peace.

Do you know what I find helpful?  Remembering that our lives do not necessarily have to be divided up into "secular" and "sacred" things.  Everything we do can be an act of worship to the Lord.  Whether it be washing the dishes, typing a report, cleaning a bathroom ... whatever ...  doing it with the motivation being an act of worship, doing it for the love of God (not to *get* His love [you already have it] but rather *because* of it, in celebration of it) can transform the mundane to into the maaahvelous.  I even noticed that I had more energy physically at the end of the days where I focused on doing everything for the love of God.  It's almost as though He blesses the motivation for doing things when it's done expressly for Him as opposed to doing them simply because we "hafta".  :)

MASHALLAH :-))  Congrations on your reversion to Islam.\n\nI think it is important that in your heart that you feel Muslim, and take your Shahada, then everything will follow from that!  God will understand that it is difficult for new muslims. After all the Quran was revealed over a period of 20years. So the first followers had a long time to make adjustments.\n\nYou will be suprised how many things come naturally :-)\n\nFor Islamic clothing a muslim women must cover all her areas accept for her face and hands (feet are also ok - no need for socks in the summer) and it must not show her curves or be see-through, when she is in public or the company of unrelated males. Clothing can take many forms to cover her culture as long as it keeps to those basic rules.\n\n I suggest you first start wearing lose clothes, and long sleaves, and long skirts /trousers. And then a head scarf.\nI remember when I first started wearing a headscarf, everyday for the 1st two weeks, I said I would never wear it again! But really it became easy, now I much prefer to wear a headscarf. I like matching them to me clothes, and it means I never have a bad hair day.  I suggest buying nice colours so they are fun at first to wear. I find a square type the easiest. It suits my face, and I just fold in a triangle , and pin it under my face. Headscarfs are easy to buy online, Or in any area with Muslims.\nYou might later want to wear a jilbab (a long jacket outer garment) but for now a think basic hijab is enough. You dont want to be too daunted :-)\nBTW wearing the hijab his great , you will notice you get a lot more respect :-)\n\nWhere do you live?  If you live in the UK perhaps I could tell about some sisters circles.  PM me if you need any help.\n\nGood luck 8-))

Really good question!!!\n\nAs a muslim, i know i'm giving my 100%, following fards and sunnah - counting on my good deeds to be accepted (primarily good deeds i do to myself, and then to the others) ......... BUT, am i really giving my 100%? Are any of us giving the maximum? I can only say that i'm doing my best to be worthy of His mercy and that my prayers are aimed at His forgiveness.\n\nOur beloved prophet (pbuh) once asked someone ''What is the deed u count on most to be ur key to heaven?'' ......... that man answered ''Celebrating His name!''\n\nIf i were to die today, i would spend every minute i have left in praise of our Creator and in asking forgiveness from Him - for those bad deeds i'm aware of and for those that i'm not even conscious of.\n\nAssalamo alaikom!

growing from a child to a man? He is full of it. \n\nmuslims pray five times a day. morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and at night.\n\n- for each prayer they start with the opening book as you mentioned. then they pick any verses in the Quran and reading it as well. \n\n-when they bend they say three times "subhana rabeya al-azem". the highness of my God the great\n\n-when they bown down they say three times "subhana rabeya al-ala". the highness of my God the above everything. \n\n-they end the prayers\n\n-then they repeat the same process again.
