A summary on Muslim/Islamic CultureIncluding a paragraph each on its society, traditions, beliefs, language, festivals and customs. Thank You :)

Islam is based upon the visions of the prophet Mohammad,
who was told by the angel Jabreel (Gabriel): There was only one God, "Allah," who ruled
the universe. Idolatry and the recognition of other gods was wickedness.Allah would
bring judgment on the world; he would reward the righteous and punish the wicked. Allah
had sent previous prophets, including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, however their message
was either imperfect or had been rejected by those who heard it. Muhammad was Allah’s
last messenger who would bring the perfect message to
humanity.

Among Islamic beliefs and culture: moral
behavior. No alcohol, gambling, usury, cannot eat pork, sexual impropriety was strictly
forbidden.

All persons are equal in the eyes of God. This
is one reason why Pakistan, which is Islamic, often comes into conflict with India.
India is predominantly Hindu, which stresses traditional inequality through the Caste
system; although both were once part of the same country, the differences are
severe.

A man is allowed to have up to four wives, but only
if he can support them.

Jews and Christians are
dhimmis, "people of the book," and therefore should be protected.
(the Book being the Hebrew Scriptures).

All Muslims have
the obligation of jihad; meaning "struggle," or "self exertion." It
typically means a struggle against sin; but oftentimes has been translated to mean "holy
war."

Devout Muslims follow the Five Pillars of
Islam:

One should recite the Islamic Creed at least five
times each day: "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his
messenger."

o One should pray five times each
day; beginning at dawn, and at appointed times during the day. From the minarets of the
Mosque, a call to prayer (a loud wailing chant) is the call to prayer, when all bow
towards Mecca and pray.

o One has a duty to
support the poor.

o During the holy month of
Ramadan, one must fast during the daylight hours. One may eat only during nighttime
hours.

o If possible, one
should make at least one pilgrimage or hajj during his lifetime to
Mecca.
