In this section, we learned a lot of things about Islam and how Muslim practice. Khadra moves to U.S with her family. She was learned how to be a good Muslim from her Uncle Taher. They have exactly beliefs about God. They think “heaven is where you have all your heart desires”. They have to wash their bottoms before pray. Everybody has to clean. They also have pray time “Hafta pray”. They practice ablution by spread the prayer rugs to do the whole ralat over. They all knelt down, put their face on the floor, their leg went still and their eyes got around. They also don’t eat pig because they think if they eat pig, bugs would grow and grow inside their stomach and eat their guts out. They also think they have to be a good Muslim that “they know and follow the Quran and the Prophet and wear hijab and follow the Islam way of life”. They have to do the Five Pillars. The belief that God is One. A Muslim must do good things. They can die for Islam and become a hero. Muslim don’t do the dog. People follow Muslim try to suppress a smile and think of God in the prayer lines. They will pray for something or someone by their heart and belief in God. In this section, I learn the specific thing about what they believe in God and how they desire. They also follow Quran to practice in their life. I think Quran and this section have the same ritual such as pray, Five Pillars. Besides that, both books give the same impression of Islam and its practices.
When I read the description about American, I think Muslim just think they right and American not right, Americans are horrible. There was a big different between Muslim and Americans. They think American cussed, smoke and drank, and use drug. Americans dated and fornicated and committed adultery. They had broken families and lots of divorces. Americans ate out wastefully. Americans believed the individual was more important than family, and money was more important than anything. However, in comedian Azhar Usman talk to a Muslim audience about Islam, there is million Muslim communication in American. And one thing that Americans think about Muslim like Muslim can attack them by terrorism. Muslim have to wait a long time for an order, people scared Muslim, they run and they cry when they see Muslim. They think Muslim can do a terrible thing and can hurt them. Wherever Muslim come, that is a place need wary. It just in their thought Muslim and Americans. I don’t think everybody follows both Islam and Americans are bad. They scared and think bad to each other. I think American have a lot of nice people, they friendly, not everyone smoke, and drug. The environment in America really clear. Also, people have divorced but they still loving their family. They can eat whatever they want, and I don’t think they are waste food. Cited: Kahf, Mohja. The girl in the tangerine scarf: a novel.
