Interview2 with muslism woman - Arwa

Today I did some resourch before I met Arwa. Also just post here to give some background about Islam.




"Islam is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله, Allah), and by the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, founder of the religion and often considered by its adherents to be the last Prophet of God. In addition to referring to the religion itself, the word Islam means 'submission to God', 'peace', and 'way to peace'. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.


Most Muslims belong to one of two denominations; with 80-90% being Sunni and 10-20% being Shia. About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country, 25% in South Asia, 20% in the Middle East, 2% in Central Asia, 4% in the remaining South East Asian countries, and 15% in Sub-saharan Africa. Sizable communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of the Caribbean. Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of the world. With about 1.41-1.57 billion Muslims, comprising about 21-23% of the world's population (see Islam by country), Islam is the second-largest religion and one of the fastest-growing religions in the world."






These are interview note


Eat habitat


She said they do not eat any kind of pork such as ham, bacon, and sausage. They do not eat animals are naturally died and killed by electricity. They do not eat things with blood, like relatively raw meet. They can eat seafood, but not shell food.


There are two special time for them about eating: Ramadan and Alms-giving.


During Ramadan, people need to do fasting. They could not drink and eat, even have sex during the day time (specifically from sun rise until sun set), and afterward, they can eat, drink and have sex. I ask her why, she said, Muslim has that is to make people think about poor people and get the feeling they have.


Right after Ramadan, they have Alms-giving which is a day at the next day of Ramadan. People dress up in the morning to go to mosque to pray and donate food to poor people. In the afternoon, people will have celebration for that.


Some tips before they pray


Muslin people will pray five times a day, and they really care about clean. They will clean most part of their body before they pray. When you see people wash their hand, face, ear, elbow and feet in the bathroom, it is time before they pray.
