https://padlet.com/21exume/9esl0b0oagzc Becoming a faithful Muslim and a follower of Muhammad en-us 2018-03-26 15:33:26 UTC 2018-04-09 12:07:26 UTC hello@padlet.com 21exume https://padlet.com/21exume/9esl0b0oagzc/wish/246298778 The first pillar is the declaration of faith. This is when people recite the words, "There is no God by God, and Muhammad is his prophet."  By saying this three times successfully, it would be the first step of becoming Muslim.

I chose this picture to be a representation of the first pillar because the girl is wearing a hijab. When someone wears a hijab it means that they are dedicated to their religion. It means that they have 100 percent faith in Allah.

Learning Arabic is a very big part in becoming a true Muslim because it is the language that Muhammad spoke and it is also in the Qur'an

Most Muslims try to pray together rather than by themselves. Some Muslims use a prayer rug to pray.

I chose this picture because, it shows somebody praying giving a very good visual representation of what most Muslims look like when they pray.

In order to pray five times a day, Muslims need to know what to say; asking for forgiveness, being thankful, asking for protection.  They also need to say it in Arabic because that is the language of their religion.

I chose this picture because it says the word "give" which is exactly what the third pillar is all about; giving alms or necessities to the poor.

Giving alms could encourage an achievement in mathematics because people would know how much money to give each time and how much money to keep.  Giving alms would improve the community by showing others that kindness matters in Islam religion which will encourage others to give back also.]]> 2018-03-27 00:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/21exume/9esl0b0oagzc/wish/246321121 21exume https://padlet.com/21exume/9esl0b0oagzc/wish/246322882 The fourth pillar is when all Muslims are required to not eat or drink for a month from sunrise to sunset. This is called a fast.  Muslims are allowed to break the fast when the sun sets.  On the 27th night of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate the night Muhammad was exposed to Allah's revelation.

I chose this picture because it shows somebody wanting food but, cannot get to it.  That could be hard for Muslims because they are going hungry for the whole day.

Fields of study or innovations that helped the lunar calendar become accurate were probably archeologists finding artifacts from a long time ago.

I chose this picture because it shows hundreds of Muslims circling around the Ka'aba.

Before the 1500, cars were not invented so in order to do the hajj, people would probably need big animals to ride on like camels. They would also need a a lot of food and water to give fuel to themselves and the animals.]]> 2018-03-27 00:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/21exume/9esl0b0oagzc/wish/246324977
