Some Facts About Islam

Part 1

- In Islam, women are considered 'Precious'

- So in society today, Muslim women are to cover majority of their body so that they don't get sexually violated. 

- Muslim women aren't supposed to pray or read the Quran during their monthly menstrual cycle, but they get good deeds for not doing it.

- However they can still make dua and recite surahs from the Quran they had memorised beforehand.

- Good character is very important in Islam

- For example, if someone has bad character but prays a lot, and if there is another person who has good character but doesn't pray that much, the second person will have more deeds.

- Muslim couples are allowed to show affection, but things like kissing on the lips are to be done in private. 

- Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian or Jewish women, but only if they are loyal to their religion. 

- Any children who died on the day of judgement who haven't yet reached puberty will go straight to Jannah (Paradise), even if they aren't Muslim.

- Any mother who was passed away whilst giving birth will go straight to Jannah, even if it's a non-muslim. 

- Men are not allowed to wear gold, but they can wear silver

- Women can wear gold AND silver. 

- When a Muslim couple has been wedded, the husband's money belongs to the wife, and she could do what she wants with it.

- This does NOT mean she is a gold digger. 

- Eid-uh-Adha is an event honouring Prophet Ibrahim sacrificing his son, Ismail because Allah told him to, and he did because he is a loyal servant. 

- FYI, Ismail wasn't sacrificed, just a few seconds before Ibrahim was about to slaughter him, Allah commanded the angels to save Ismail and put an animal in his place.
