A minaret is a tall, slender tower which is attached to a mosque, a Muslim place of worship. There are a number of uses for minarets, but perhaps the most famous is the traditional call to prayer, which is often issued from the balconies minarets. Many people associate minarets with Muslim culture and the Muslim world, and they are common features in the cityscapes of Muslim regions, where the horizon may be dotted with an assortment of minarets of all shapes and sizes.
What is the diffbetween patriarch and a prophet?
A patriarch is a "father who rules", i.e., a significant ancestor. The patriarchs in Judaism are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's twelve sons.
A prophet is a person who declares God's words to other people.
So most of the prophets were not patriarchs, and a patriarch need not be a prophet. Although the Bible tells us that Abraham talked to God, it does not indicate that he spent much time repeating God's words to anyone outside his own family. There is even less evidence that Isaac or Jacob did any such thing.
You probably can count Abraham as a prophet, but in Jewish history, his role as a patriarch is more important.
___________________________________________________________
The patriarch is assigned by people but the prophet is assigned by God. Some God prophets are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Jacob, Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).

What are the Five themes of Islam?
The 'Five Pillars' or Tenets of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life:
- Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
- Establishment of the daily prayers;
- Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
- Self-purification through fasting; and
- The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
These pillars are further elaborated as under:
Five Pillars of Islam:
1. Shahadat: [testimony that there is no god except Allah (God) the One and Only One, having No Partner whatsoever. And Muhammad is His servant and Messenger],
2. Salah: (praying five times a day)
3. Zakah: (specific compulsory charity-2,5% of annual savings)

The major beliefs on which the Muslim traditions are based are:Eemaan Mujmal: Translation: I believe in Almighty Allah, as are His beautiful Names and Attributes, I accept all His Commands, I declare from my tongue, and testify by my heart.
Eeman Mufassal: Translation: I believe in Almighty Allah. The Angels, all heavenly Books, all Prophets, in the Day of Judgment, and this that Good or Bad Destiny is from Him, and that there will be life after death and then No death (Eternal life in heaven or hell).
1. Belief in Almighty Allah (God): God- Allah is ONE Allah. There is no god but He. He and He alone deserves worship. He is All-Knowing, All-Seeing. All power lies in His Hands. He will punish the sinners and reward the Good. He is Eternal, Unique, and incorporeal. There is nothing like Him.
2. Belief in Angels Created by Almighty God- Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands. The Jews and Christians also believe in the Angels.

7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.
8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)
9. The Muslims believe that Nobody can take the responsibility of some other person's deeds.
10. All the power of decision making is in the Hands of Almighty Allah, and none else.
What are the two different groups of Islam?
There are more than two factions! Just as there is a multiplicity of different sects and denominations in Christianity, Islam is practiced differently in different countries and by different groups. Although I think the answer you are looking for is Shi'a and Sunni.
Why did hindus accept Islam as their religion?
Low caste Hindus, like Sudras and Untouchables could not expect to have a good economic situation, protection, and privileges. There was no opportunity for advancement or improvement because they were seen as being inferior human beings. Islam claimed that all people were equally and could all attain what they wished to do. This made Islam much more appealing to Sudras and Untouchables because it liberated them from being forced to the bottom of the social ladder.

It started the year of the emigration of the prophet Muhammad (saw) from Makkah to Madinah. This was 1431 lunar years ago this year 2010 CE. However the Hijri calendar is about 11 days shorter than the zodiac calendar as it is based on 12 lunar cycles.
The hijrah was calculated as being roughly 622/623 CE.
The most important Islamic belief is that the belief in Allah (God in English) as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no resemblance and that prophet Muhammad is his Messenger. For all other beliefs and fundamentals, refer to question below.
King Solomon traveled because He had at His disposal, as you can read in the Bible, the Myrrh and the incense of Ethiopia, the wood of cedars from Lebanon, the perfumes of the Orient, and many other things besides....King Solomon did break away from the style King David had initiated, that is a nearly military like life applied to the royal court, an ascetic way of life regarding food, women and the drinks.
King Solomon did understand the importance of foreign politics and oversea alliances.
That is also a reason why He traveled extensively. Not only did He go abroad to control His financial and material assets, as His goldmines in Africa, by the way the DNA of some African people was proven to match the DNA of some Israeli people, but He also went abroad to reinforce His foreign power.
King Solomon was well known, some may add notoriously so, for His numerous spouses and his many descendants. Apart from bringing some fun to Him, marrying as many foreign princesses as possible did ensure the foreign position of the Kingdom of Israel.
Long before General Motors or IBM, King Solomon had made up the first global, multinational power company . He had Indian, Malay, Chinese, well you name it you have it, princesses as His rightfully wedded spouses.
The Queen of Saba was, so to speak, just the tip of the iceberg...
Of course, these princesses and King Solomon 's children had to be protected and looked after. This was the duty of some officers from His Royal Guard, the equivalent of today's British royal Guard or Queen 's Regiment, as an example.
Naturally these officers were no simple special duty soldiers, they also belonged to the intelligence corps of Israel at that time.
Most of them settled down abroad, married local women, and their descendants are now beginning to get back home, to Israel.
Just for the record, when you read the Bible thoroughly, you realize that only officers related to Solomon were allowed to exercise intelligence duties.
As to how did King Solomon travel, well, sorry, but you may go in for a surprise here.
Today' s luxury private jets, Lear jets, Boeing 777 and all modern stuff look rather primitive compared to what He had at His disposal.
You can find some descriptions of His flying vessel in the Bible, of course, and in chronicles about the Queen of Saba, relating the flight King Solomon and the Queen of Saba made non-stop from Israel to Ethiopia at that time.
For our readers interested in ancient aeronautics , they might find some interest in reading the book The Spaceships of Ezechiel and the Vedic Indian Vimana Sutras.
Of course, one may reject all of this and put it in the fairy tale category, somewhere between Winnie the Pooh and James Bond...nevertheless, this is history now, General Ariel Sharon striking reverse surprise counter offensive, was made possible by using the route across the Golan heights which was described in the Bible, used by the incoming tribes returning from the exile, and rediscovered some 2000 years later....
Shalom,
