Essay on Death and Life After Death
Essay on Death and Life After Death 3. a) Describe how the body of a Muslim is prepared for burial and buried. (8) There are many rituals that are performed whilst the body is being prepared for burial and when it is buried. Firstly the body is washed in scented water. It is a complete wash of the body and is called ghusl. Men prepare a deceased man's body and women prepare a deceased woman's body due to modesty. This takes place at the mosque or at home. Next, the body is anointed with scents and is dressed in a white robe of unsewn sheets. Men are wrapped in three sheets and women are wrapped in five sheets. If the person has been on pilgrimage to Mecca then the sheets, the ihram that they wore and were dipped in the waters of the holy well of zam zam and is usually used. The head is left uncovered and prayers are said. Both the rich and the poor are treated the same as they are equal before Allah. The body is then taken in procession to be buried in a cemetery. In Muslim countries a coffin is not used and the grave is therefore dug to fit the size of the body. This is because muslims believe that it is important to be in contact with the earth. However, if the body is buried in a non Muslim country and a coffin is used, the lid is usually left off. The body is buried with the right side of the face turning to the right and facing Mecca and the kaaba. Muslims are only
Pilgrimage plays a big part in the Christian life.
QUESTION 2 Pilgrimage plays a big part in the Christian life. Christians use pilgrimage for lots of reasons, for example it can be to heal them from a illness like in Lourdes. Christians go on pilgrimage to get closer to god and to become one with him. By doing this they are making them selves better Christians, some people go to help there faith develop. Most Christians have a strong relationship with god and find him easy to talk to and believe in. others find that because of a bad thing that has happened in there life they can not communicate with god as easily as others can. People like these go on pilgrimage to try to make there relationship with god stronger or to find there faith again. In Lourdes there are lots of non Christians that go each year with no intention of becoming Christians but as the holiness of the place touches them they can find new faith and new hope. When I was watching the video of a Lourdes pilgrimage I saw that a lot of disabled children go on pilgrimage, looking at the suffering of the children I began to appreciate my life so much more then I did before. I think that this is an other reason that people will go on pilgrimage, to thank god for the life they where given and they have been blessed with. Different places of pilgrimage are visited for different reasons, people go to the holy land on pilgrimage because it is the place the Jesus
Description of a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem
A pilgrimage is a journey because of a belief. Usually it is a journey to a holy place that is of importance to the pilgrim's religion. The journey could be physical or purely spiritual, but is usually of benefit in some way to the pilgrim. Pilgrimage was a social, spiritual and economic element even in the pre-Reformation church. Churches were built and inns made wealthy from the gifts or payments of pilgrims. Today it is an opportunity for spiritual refreshment, to strengthen faith, or find healing for body, mind or spirit. Many will perform a pilgrimage as a form of penance and commitment, to give thanks or find the roots of their faith. Christian traditions are kept alive by reenacting or following the past in fellowship with others. In this piece of work I will endeavour to describe, explain and evaluate Christian pilgrimage. A Description of a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem One Christian pilgrimage that is carried out by millions of pilgrims is to Jerusalem. There is a lot to see on this particular pilgrimage as it is mostly visiting the places where Jesus was all those years ago. You can visit places from the bible and celebrate Mass at each of them. It is possible to see in the church of the Holy Nativity the site of Jesus' birth and walk in the fields where the shepherds were visited by the angels. I interviewed some people who had been to the Holy Land as well as
roles of muslim men and women
Roles of Muslim men and women. According to the Qur'an, men and women are two units of a pair. The Quran says: "O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another". Islam looks at the different responsibilities of each gender. These responsibilities are defined as being the traditional family structure, were women are head of the household and men are responsible for earning the livelihood for the family. However, a man being financially responsible for the family does not prohibit a woman having a career of her own, and personal property and education is encouraged. However women in Islam are seen as independent and self reliant individuals, therefore challenging the traditional view of a family structure. The Sharia law (Islamic law) provides for differences between women's and men's roles, rights, and obligations. Muslim-majority countries give women varying degrees of rights with regards to marriage, divorce, civil rights, legal status, dress code, and education based on different interpretations. Even where these differences are acknowledged, scholars and other commentators vary as to whether they are just and whether they are a correct interpretation of religious imperatives. Conservatives argue that differences between men and women are due to different status and

Review (2005) Festivals and special days Al-Hijra (1 Muharram) This festival commemorates the Hijra (or Hegira) in 622 CE when the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) moved from Mecca to Medina. Ashura (10 Muharram) Shi'a Muslims use the day to commemorate the martyrdom of Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet (pbuh) in 680 CE. It has been a day of fasting for Sunni Muslims since the days of the early Muslim community. Milad un Nabi (12 Rabi') At this time Muslims think about Muhammad (pbuh), and the events of his life. Lailat al Miraj (27 Rajab) The festival celebrates Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) journey from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night on a winged creature called Buraq. From Jerusalem he ascended into heaven, where he met the earlier prophets, and eventually God. Lailat-ul-Bara'h (15 Shabaan) The Night of Forgiveness (Lailat-ul-Bara'h) takes place two weeks before Ramadan. Muslims spend the night in prayer seeking God's guidance and forgiveness for their sins. It is an opportunity to put the past behind them and forgive each other. Many Muslims believe that a person's destiny is fixed for the coming year by God on this night. Lailat al Qadr (27 Ramadan) The Night of Power marks the night in which the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Allah. No one knows of its exact date, but the Prophet (pbuh) said that it falls in the last 10 nights of

How might following Islam, in Britain affect an individual's lifestyle and the lifestyle of a Muslim community?
How might following Islam, in Britain affect an individual's lifestyle and the lifestyle of a Muslim community? Islam is the second biggest religion in the world. In Britain there is about 1.5 million British Muslims that live around the country. Living in Britain will have a great impact on their culture and traditions. This essay will focus on the Islamic culture and how living in Britain might affect a Muslims everyday life. In Muslim culture men and women are equally worth spiritually. So, women should work along men and try to learn the knowledge and skills. However, women should be made comfortable therefore they cover their legs, arms and head. They usually cover their heads with a scarf or veil. This is called wearing a hijab and it indicated modesty in clothing and behaviour. In Britain, Muslim women try to follow their traditions as well as they can but sometimes this can be misunderstood. They might get stared or laughed at. In some extreme cases they become victims of harassment or racial discrimination. Teenage girls from the age of twelve also have to cover their legs, arms and heads. This also shows modesty and good behaviour. Nonetheless, when at school this can be difficult especially in P.E and swimming so they might have to wear special clothing. Children sometimes misunderstand this, so it can result in bullying or them being left out because they
