It is not a real chalenge but rather a ritual worship. The Muslim in Ramadan has to keep fasting throughout the month. The fasting each day is during the day time from dawn to sunset. Fasting includes refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and/or performing sexual intercourse. During the evening period from sunset until before dawn, every thing is allowed as in any normal day. Muslims are allowed to break fasting during travelling days or illness or any health reasons and to be compensated after Ramadan (and after the reasons for breaking fasting are no longer valid) by fasting equal number days. Allowed also not to fasting for old people or those who are not allowed permenantly to fasting due to health reasons and they should feed a poor a full day meal for each day not be fasted.

Abu Talib was the uncle of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his family) and Father of Imam Ali (peace be upon him and his family) aka Ali Ibn Abu Talib meaning Ali son of Abu Talib. He was a full brother of Prophet Mohammad's father and protected Prophet Mohammad from his early childhood from the clan of Quraish and other enemies till the day he died. He was also a leader and head of the clan of Banu Hashim. He was also the father of Imam Ali who is the successor of Prophet Mohammad. Abu Talib means Father of Talib. His real name was Imran and was known as Abu Talib because he had a son name Talib.

Islam originated in the mountainous southern Arabian Peninsula. Before the advent of Islam, the dominant religion was Christian, with smaller numbers of Jews and pagans. Arab paganism focussed on worship at the Ka'bah, now believed to have been built by the Prophet Abraham. Most of the numerous pagan deities were associated with natural objects, stones and stars.

Officially, the Ka'bah was dedicated to Hubal, a Nabatean deity, and there were 360 idols, tokens of all the clans, arranged around the Kabah, but by the time of the Prophet Muhammad, it seems the Ka'bah was venerated as the shrine of Al-lah, the High God.

they translated thousands of Greek manuscripts into Arabic. This is the only reason we have a good chunk of the Greek writings that we do have. For comparison, the Christians would rip the greek books apart for their paper and write prayers on them. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!

A folower of Hinduism is called a Hindu, a follower of Buddhism is called a Buddhist; It depends on what the religion is. There is no name for "everyone but A, B and C". The answer to this question is "pagan" ________________________________________________________________________

Each of the items serves a different purpose in worship:

1. the Beads : some use them to do "thikr", because worship isn't only a feeling, you have to do something for it. Now thikr is a kind of worship, it's praising Allah (God) and thank him for example. Obviously you don't NEED breads for that, but you CAN use them if you like to.

2. the Rugs : the rug is used while praying. The prayer in Islam takes many positions, one among them is the sujud. (I wanted to insert an image here, but it seems impossible…) In english they call it prostration.

I don't know if you would like to do this anywhere on the ground… Also one of the conditions to pray in Islam is to do it in a clean place. Thats why rugs are used. But if the place is clean you are not obliged to use it. It's additional. Like having a car..

3. the Mosques : That's where the muslims come together to pray. You can pray alone, but it's better to pray in a group, that's what the Mosques are for in a first place. But they are also like some second living room… people read or learn the Quran together, sit there to chat a little after the prayer… and children are playing. It's great to run around there, trust me. Because there are carpets everywhere… Of course everyone has to take off his shoes before coming in. Then, when it's time to pray, everyone lines up in rows behind the Imam. Sometimes people pray outside because there is no place left inside the mosque, and happy are those who toke a rug along with them…

4. the Qibla : the Qibla is the direction where we pray to. Every muslim in the world is praying to one direction ; the Kaaba. It was built by Abraham thousands of years ago. Just to say it, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (3alayhim assalam) all where of his descendants.

5. the Muezzin : he is calling for the prayer 5 times a day, so we don't forget it. Every Mosque has a Muezzin. What he is saying is called Athan. The minarets where built for the Muezzin, when there where no microphones…

6. the Imam : every person "leading" the prayer is called Imam. When Muslims pray together, one is always in the front. He is the Imam. During the prayer, the others are following him in his movements. In some prayers, he is reading some parts of the Quran aloud and the others are listening. The Imam in a Mosque normally has done islamic studies at the university, that's why people are consulting him about religion and everything related to it. Every Friday, he is doing a Khotba, kind of a speech where he is talking about a specific theme, advising, warning, instructing, explaining and so on.

Mosque in English.Arabic name is Masjid which means "place to worship".

The final authority on all matters in Islam is the holy Qur'an as explained by the holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) and as understood and praticed by the holy Companions RAU. Any explanation or interpretation of the Qur'an that is contrary to the explanation done by the Companions RAU of the holy Prophet (SAW) is fake, concocted, deceitful, misleading and, thus, un-acceptable.

Historically, the person of the Caliph was supposed to be the final interpreter of what the Qur'an said and to be able to resolve disputes between believers. However, the institution of the Caliphate quickly became corrupt and Muslim theologians agreed to disagree on different religious rules rather than submit the question to the Caliph. In the absence of a Caliph (since 1936) this system of agreeing to disagree on certain minor matters in Islam has continued to hold. It is very similar to the Orthodox Christian system of the Patriarchate, where Orthodox Patriarchs agree to disagree with each other over minor matters.

The crusades raised the Christian population because people feared they would be killed if they were not Christian, Jewish people were murdered and went in to hiding but were tolerated in some countries and Muslims were forced to Asia there declining Muslim population.

It is too precious and holy

Yes, so far the money is more than a certain minimum limit.

Islam addressed fundamental problems in Arabic society by uniting all Arabian tribes who were at constant was with each other. It turned Arabia from an ignorant society to a flourishing peaceful society. They stopped tribal prejudice, burring little girls alive, drinking, and avenging through waging wars.

Islam addresses the fundamental problems not only in the Arabian society but all over the world. As an evidence on this fact is that the Arab Muslims are minority (less than 15%) compared to total Muslims in the world.

Islam addressed the fundamental problems in Arabian society and all over the world through the Quran and prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sayings and practices.

Any Muslim should prepare for the after life by full obedience to Allah (or God in English and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) and His prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as for what to do and what not to do.
Quran says (meaning English translation): "And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions" (4:69). Refer to related questions below.
