Islam Post

My topic Of Islam is holidays.  Their holidays are much different than ours because of course they have a whole different culture and most of everyone is muslim.  They dont have very many holidays compared to what we have here In the U.S,  they celebrate the islamic new year,  the prophet Muhammad's birthday, the celebration of concluding Ramadan and the celebration concluding the Hajj.

The Islamic new year simply celebrates the year that Muhammad made his way from mecca to medina(A.D july 16th, 622) the new year begins on the first day of the Muharram, and lasts till the year of hegira.

The prophet Muhammad's birthday is self explanitory, they celebrate the day he was born, which is the 12th day of the month of rabi.

the celebration of concluding Ramadan, and the celebration concluding the Hajj, are pretty much the exact opposites.  in Ramadan celeb. they fast(dont eat) and in Hajj celeb.  they eat like crazy!  But in Ramadan celeb. they dress in their best clothes, decorate their houses and give treats to their children, and in ramadan celeb. they sacrfice a lamb, and distribute it to their relatives so that everyone eats some
