New Experiences

Today, the entire a.m. religion class went on a pilgrimage, we pretended parts of campus as sacred areas that we had to travel to and reenact moments of the past. Nothing better learned than actually putting yourself into it and doing the actions, is that even the right saying? Anyways, I’m going to give a quick gist of what happened this week, we went over Islam, the religion and talked about Muslim (people). I learned that Muslims are people not the religion which people today still make the same mistake. I also learned that Abraham exiled his wife and she ran between mountains to find water for her son Ishmael. I know this may be off topic but my English teacher in high school named his son Ishmael but his reason wasn’t from Islamic religion but from Moby Dick. Now getting back on topic, we also went over this week that not all Muslims are violent or terrorists, Muslims are still people and not everyone is filled with evil intentions. Furthermore, one of the frequent false assumptions is Muhammad is God. Muhammad is not God and he is not like Jesus, Muhammad is God’s prophet and he is definitely not God’s son. I also learned that there are 5 pillars in the Islamic religion: Shahada, Salat, Sawm, Zakat, and Hajj.

    Cammy, I would have to say that my thoughts relate very well to the points that you made in your post. I agree that a very very good way to learn something and really have it in your head is to actually participate in doing it and get that actually experience of the actions. I found it interesting that so many people today do still make the mistake of calling the Islamic religion Muslim. I’m glad we clarified up that Muslims are the people of the religion. I will admit that i was not informed very good on the Islamic religion before this so I didn’t really even know that a lot of people considered Mohammed the God of Islamic religion. Now I know that that is definitely not right and that Mohammed is the last prophet of God.
