A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
A Muslim is required to observe certain practices and traditions called the 'Five Pillars' of Islam which are five duties that unite the Muslim.
The above five pillars form the ultimate basis of the Islamic religion, and are observed world wide. The Islamic traditions and teaching strictly oppose discrimination, divisions or distinction. All the people are viewed as one in front of Allah, a common sight being the communal prayers at the mosques where all the Muslims irrespective of their background, status, color or nationality praise the lord side by side. It is perhaps its simplicity, its strength in its virtues and etiquettes and its preaching of peace and unity that has made Islam the second-largest religion in the world, with 1.8 billion Muslims all over.
