Islam

Islam is what is known as an "orthopractic" religion, which is one that stresses the overt signs of faith in preference to the doctrinal beliefs (as is done in those religions termed "orthodox"). Obviously, the clergy would prefer that their followers both believed and obeyed in the correct way (that's what the "ortho-" part means), but each faith ultimately shows a preference, and Islam prefers the ritual.

Another way to express the same idea is to say that Islam has an "agenda" (list of things it wants done) rather than a "credenza" (body of beliefs to be accepted).

Islam is a continuity of monotheistic faith since Prophet Adam a.s. As mankind cant see Almighty God, but able to see other divine elements in the skies nor earth ; sun,moon,water,etc

They start to believe that they are deities behind those elements and shall be worshiped. Thus Almighty God appoint men on earth as prophets to bring guidance back to mankind on the presence of the one and true creator.

This monotheistic faith was sealed by the Final Prophet that is Muhammad s.a.w from the Arabs region and preaching was first done in Makkah (610AD).

Well, I´m not 100% sure, but I believe, that he spoke in the interview about Islam, after Ribery, Anelka and Abidal converted to Islam, but he said, that Islam wakes his interess, but didn´t convert yet. And I have also seen the tatoo on his body...few weeks ago. I don´t think, that Henry is a muslim.

Leaving Islam or Apostasy, according to Islamic Law is not just a sin, but a crime punishable by death. As a result, in many Islamic countries, it is practically impossible to leave Islam except secretly. Hence you don't.

Dates are a good idea for Ramadan gifts. After fasting until Sunset, it is common to start with dates because they slowly replace lost blood sugars. They absorb slowly and this is also what the Prophet Mohammed used to break the day long fasting process. This is what Muslims usually give to one another as a sign of good will. If you give this gift to a Muslim they will see it as a gesture of good will.

Assuming the "least affected" is referring to Pre-Colonial African Civilizations, Great Zimbabwe was least affected because it is most distant from Islamic North Africa and relatively isolated from Muslims on the East African Coast.

What we Muslims do is fast that means no eating during the day or morning. We wait until midnight to eat .We do this fasting for about a month and if you did not fast a day for a reason of: sick, old, ,or is to to young. You have to fast another day if you were sick but the other reason are just okay but if you are a adult and does not fasting for no reason you have to fasting 60 daysfor not fasting one day! Big price to pay for one small reason!

An ablution fountain is typically located in the center of a mosque's courtyard, similar to where Christian baptismal fountains were located in the basilica plan. It is where Muslims perform a ritual washing before entering the mosque for prayer.

No, she can't. Any sexual acts (oral or intercourse sex) outside marriage is strictly forbidden per Islam teachings and rules. The other important point is the Muslim girl is entitled to get married with only a Muslim boy. It is not allowed for a Muslim girl to get married with a non Muslim boy unless he converts to Islam.

They were ruled by a sheikh and chosen from one of the leading families by a council of elders.

Islam is split into two large factions. The Sunni follow Mohammed alone as the prophet of Allah, while Shiites also accept the validity of the Caliph Ali (and to some extent several other lesser prophets).

The Sunni are hence approximately equivalent to Protestant Christians, while the Shiites are more like Roman Catholics.

The Sunni are by far the larger grouping, and sometimes differences between the sects can be quite marked. Relatively few Sunni, for example, practise female circumcision - but the practice is in theory acceptable to the faith. In Shiite Islam female circumcision is haram (blasphemous).
