May of you are reading about
Islam for the first time. What have you found the most interesting about this religion? What did you read that surprised you or that you didn't expect? RESPOND once to this post. You do not have to REPLY to classmates this time.
What amazes me most about Islam is the rituals that these people do to honor their god. It is amazing that they pray five times a day and always with the same beginning and the same ritual. When I began to read the Quran, I realized how its language was by own will, transmitted a message of decision, where nobody forces you to anything, which I think is one of the characteristics of this religion.
ReplyDeleteI was surprized the most by the character of God of "The Holy Quaran". Of course, there are differences between Gods of the Old Testament and the New Testament. However, the character of God of "The Holy Quaran" is apparently different from that of Gods of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The character of God of "The Holy Quaran" is more strict than that of Gods of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
ReplyDeleteI have never studied Islam and it was the first time for me to talk with Muslim. Before I take this class, I have a prejudice about Islam. For me, the image of Islam was about IS. Through this class I realized that my image was wrong. Muslims have a Ramadan and during the time they experience the poor who always feel hunger. I'm interested in that if the religions are different, the important ethics are same.
ReplyDeleteIt was a precious opportunity that I was able to learn what Isram is. I was surprised that Isram has a lot of commandments, which are very interesting for me.
ReplyDeleteTh thing that is more interesting of islam for me is the constant they are. They really beleive in God and do rituals in order to show they do so. They pray 5 times in a day and probably they would have other many things to do, but for their God they’ll do it. It is really impressing for me.
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting to have my religion discussed and introduced especially in a context where I can learn from the other religions too. It was great opportunity ti see the similarities and differences between these three Monotheistic religions while acquiring the English vocabulary and terms related to this field.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed learning about another religion. Learning about the five pillars was something I founded really interesting, as it explores the religion more as a matter of acts than of faith, which is not very common in Catholicism. I was also very surprised by the idea of them following Mohammed instead of Jesus. The most interesting part was knowing the reason why Jesus was not the final prophet. Learning about these things opens me to a new culture and various ways of understanding society.
