Reading and Discussion 11/7

In the documentary of the Hajj, something the class and I noticed was it followed a white man. He was not born into the religion and does not represent most of the religion. Did they choose a white man so it would be received better by the western world? The clothing/ robes they wore were all similar, so it helped connect all the Muslims into one unit. Muslims from Africa and Indonesia do the Hajj. They were all equals going on this journey to connect with Allah. It is crowded and dedicated to their journey, while if we are waiting in a long line here, we are not necessarily always patient.
The 5 pillars of Islam are the Hajj, fasting from sunrise to sunset, facing Mecca while you pray, charity, belief and worship in Allah. What is Hadith? They are traditions attributed to Mahammad that are not necessarily in the Qur’an.
