The Middle East is home to the creation of so many different cultures and religions. It is the home to the most prominent monotheistic faiths of this lifetime. Those faiths are Christianity, essentially Catholicism, and Islam. They do not only share a similar origin, but share the same ancestors and stories of prophets and people. There is a connection between the profound values of truth, love, and mercy that Catholics and Muslims hold dear. Although there are a great many commonalities between Catholicism and Islam, it is important to note the key foundations that make both religions special.

If Pope Urban II never called for a crusade, got people to listen, and travel the world, would the crusaders find the knowledge that led to the Renaissance and brought the church down? The ignorance of Pope Urban II led to the experience of the crusaders that caused European economies to expand, increase travel, and ultimately decreases the power of the church.

Hajj is the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which is the most holy city to Muslims. Hajj is also one of the five pillars of Islam, meaning that it is very important. It is mandatory for all Muslims who are physically and financially able to make this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Hajj usually takes place from the 8th to the 12th of the last month in the Islamic calendar (Dhu al-Hijjah), meaning that the dates for Hajj changes every year. In contrast to Hajj, Umrah is the pilgrimage to Mecca, which can be done at any point in the year. Millions of Muslims make this journey to Mecca every year, because Mecca is the holiest site in all of Islam. It is the holiest due to the fact that it contains the sacred mosque that was proclaimed the site for pilgrimage by the Prophet Muhammad in 630 AD. Medina is the second holiest site for Muslims, it is where Muhammad is buried. The topic that I have chosen is the Umra certificate, which is a 15th century scroll depicting the pilgrimage to Mecca. In this paper, I will be discussing who made the scroll, where it was made, when/why it was made, and finally what was this particular

For five weeks in 1964 Malcolm X completed the Hajj, a mandatory Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. When he returned from this trip, Malcolm had a different outlook and preached not to just African-Americans but to muslims of all races.

The starting point of the first crusade was when Pope Urban II initiated a call to arms during his speech to the Council of Clermont on November 27, 1095. His fiery speech was a result of the Byzantine Emperor, Alexius I, urgently requesting Pope Urban II’s help in fighting the Muslim Turks, after getting word that they were invading lands, pillaging, and converting people to Islam. They had reached Jerusalem and other places in Palestine, so it was imperative that Pope Urban II rally the Bishops and Nobles to action in order to free the Holy Land. Pope Urban II’s speech had a resounding effect on those attending the council, resulting in the Christian Knights and others engaging in a long bloody campaign that would ultimately

The Crusades were a series of wars between western Christians and Muslims for control of "The Holy Land" in the Middle Ages. The first crusades began in 1095 and lasted until about 1291. This time period meant so much to both the Christians and the Muslims, as The Holy Land had significant value to both groups. The most important parts/things about the crusades are, The Holy Land, the First Crusade, and the Crusader states/ the second Crusade.

According to scholars the crusades can simply be described as a series of military-religious campaigns by European Catholics to increase Christian influence in Palestine from the 11th to 14th centuries. Originally, these Roman Catholic crusades including attempts to re-capture the Holy Land from the Muslims were often led by none other then the papacy themselves. These holy leaders between the 11th and 14th century included many important figures including Pope Urban II and Pope Innocent III. These men helped in organizing the first and fourth crusades and their reasons behind doing so included a seek to serve God & Church in a bold, heroic way, to spread Christianity, and Fight Islam which they viewed as evil. All these reason behind crusading are most obvious in the first crusade led and organized by Pope Urban II. According to the crusades 1099 document stated "the Pope (Pope Urban II) exhorted the assembled multitude to wrest the Holy Land from the hands of the Infidel and assured them that God would absolve them from any sin associated with the venture." Once he said this people began to shout, "It is the will of God." Those few words from the pope are what set the stage for not only the first crusades but all the ones to follow. Once the crusade began 100,000 crusader stormed towards the gates of Jerusalem and while doing so killed thousands in their way, including many Jews. Once they finally invaded Jerusalem they obtained an easy victory and in the eyes of many this

Religion is a vital part of daily life in every Middle Eastern country, informing the ways in which most ordinary citizens understand politics as well as their own place in the world. Today, the political left in Israel views the Israel state more as a protector of the Jewish community than as a strictly religious state.
