The day of a Muslim
My unit of analysis is the Muslim culture. From the moment a Muslim wakes up till the time he goes to sleep, he is thinking about his faith and his God, Allah. ... What are these activities, and what role do they play in a normal day? What are the decisions a Muslim must make, and what considerations go into their making? Throughout this proposal, I will attempt to answer these questions and to examine the true meaning of being a Muslim on a daily basis.
The Day of a Muslim
Islam is an ecclesiastic religion. ... The five pillars are: 1) (kalima) with all your heart think that Allah is the one and only god, and Muhammad is his profit, 2) (salaat) prayer five times day, 3) (sawm) fasting during the month of Ramadan, 4) (zaqat) responsibility to share wealth with the poor 5) (hajj) every Muslim who can afford a pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca) must do so at least once in life (Informant #1). ... For example, if a Muslim receives a promotion at work, he must not attribute it to the generosity of his boss or even on his own hard work, but must praise Allah for His benevolence. ...
Something that stands out when looking at the Muslim culture is its emphasis on prayer and cleanliness in the eyes of Allah. “If he is a true Muslim by the teachings of
Islam, he gets up an hour before the sun rises, then he makes his ablutions and then goes for prayer”(Informant #1). ... With proper worship of Allah, He will show favor by giving success in the day to come and salvation on the Day of Judgment.
There are five prayer times allotted throughout the day. ...
Because Islam is based on a market economy, no restrictions are placed on how much money a Muslim can make. ... A Muslim rises before sunrise to perform his ablutions and prayer in the hopes that Allah will show him favor.
