Narrative Experience In Ramadan

The forth pillar of faith is referred to as Sawm. From sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan adult Muslim’s are expected to partake in fasting. This means they mustn’t eat, drink, smoke or have sexual intercourse within the hours of daylight. Instead one should take the time to prayer reflect or meditate. Participating in fasting Muslim’s learns the traits of self-control, sympathy and discipline. These are important qualities for all Muslims to have, as the principal belief of Al-Akhira is that we humans, despite God’s will, have the freedom of choice.

If you refuse you will be jailed and/or your house will be demolished with you in it or not.” The family is forced to leave within the night in the fear that their lives would end.

This is the time for making pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia. Moulid (or Mouloud, or Mawlid an Nabi) is another important holiday, commemorating the birth and death of the prophet Mohammed.

Just as with any dissection, whether it’s an onion or a fetal pig, the exterior must first be peeled away in order for the interior to be analyzed. My exterior epitomizes a typical lifestyle. I was born and raised in Orange County, just like countless others.

Eid Al-Adha celebration begins after the leaving of the pilgrims performing the Hajj the Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. All Muslims around the world celebrate Eid Al-Adha to show respect to the willingness of Abraham, the Muslims’ prophet. In Afghanistan, Muslims celebrate Eid Al-Adha in various ways.
