Islam (or Islam) - the youngest of all world religions, translated from Arabic means "obedience to the will of God." Muslims have many customs and traditions that regulate the everyday family and everyday life of a person.
Instructions
Step 1
Muslim customs associated with weddings, funerals and daily household chores play a large role. Every Muslim should adhere to the following principle: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet." So, the tradition of namaz is obligatory for every person who professes Islam to pray 5 times a day: at dawn, at noon, at sunset, between sunset and before bedtime. It is best to perform namaz in a mosque, but you can also at home. In this case, it is necessary to undergo a ritual of purification, which consists in washing the hands, feet and face.
Step 2
The only day of the week when a Muslim is required to visit a mosque is Friday. When entering the temple, you must take off your shoes, and women must wear long clothes that cover their heads and hide their legs. The minarets in the mosques announce that the time for prayer has come. In the mosque, Muslims are required to face the mihrab.
Step 3
In the 9th month of the Muslim calendar from sunrise to sunset, Muslims must completely abandon food and drink, bathing, the use of perfume and sexual intercourse. This time is devoted to work, prayer, reading the Qur'an or meditating on God and his laws. Only after sunset can Muslims eat.
Step 4
Lovers are considered to be united by marital ties only after the nikah ceremony has been performed. Tradition includes the observance of a number of conditions. The groom must pay a kalym for the bride, which can be either symbolic or of a certain value. At the wedding ceremony, the presence of any male relative from the bride's side is mandatory, as well as the presence of Muslim witnesses, one on each side. The most important thing in the custom is for the young to express a desire to live a family life and conclude a wedding union. At the same time, no official notification of marriage is required; young people receive a certificate after the mullah reads the fourth sura of the Koran, which speaks of the rights of men and women in marriage.
Step 5
The Muslim custom of circumcision is called Sunnat. Boys aged 7-10 years undergo this procedure. Traditionally, it is believed that this ceremony characterizes the national and religious affiliation of a Muslim man.
Step 6
Pre-Islamic traditions are manifested in the funeral custom of Janaza-namaz, according to which it is necessary to bury the deceased as early as possible within 24 hours after his death. The body is washed with incense and camphor, and several people read prayers over the deceased.
Step 7
The tradition of zakat (alms) is that Muslims give 2% of their annual income to the judge for spending on the poor and people in need of God's help.
Step 8
Hajj rite, i.e. pilgrimage to Mecca, obligatory for every Muslim at least once in his life. It must be done only in the 12th month of the Muslim calendar in special white clothes. In Mecca, 7 times you need to walk around the Kaaba, a Muslim shrine in the form of a goblet, and kiss the black stone in this goblet.
