Islam is monotheistic and beliefs in one god called Allah. The most important city is Mecca because it was declared a site of pilgrimage by the Prophet Muhammad in 630. The Quran is the holiest book for Islam and was given to Muhammad by Allah. The 5 Pillars of Islam are 1. belief in one God, Allah, and Muhammad his prophet 2. daily prayer; pray 5 times a day facing Mecca 3. alms (offering) for the poor; charity 4. fasting (sunrise to sunset) during Ramadan (Sept-Oct.) 5. hajj- pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your lifetime (and visit Kaaba). The difference was who was going to be the successor after Muhammad died. ]]> 2016-05-11 18:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/AngelElizalde/iro7p7gpcqni/wish/110400898 AngelElizalde https://padlet.com/AngelElizalde/iro7p7gpcqni/wish/110401816 The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were very important for ancient civilizations.
