Document Summary

Islam: reception of a revelation, two main religious-political groups. shahadah- is there no god above god and muhammad is his messenger (shi"i same but ali is a friend of god ) salat- muslims should pray 5 times a day facing mecca: the kabah is some orientation point, they faced jerusalem first, men and women are separated in the mosque. zakat- charitable donations: a way to connect you to the privileged muslims, standard ritual. hajj- pilgrimage to mecca: obligatory to do at least once in your lifetime, specific series of rituals in honour of muhammad.
