Growing
up Muslim is not an easy task. One has to follow Ramadan, complete
the Five Pillars of Islam, give alms
to the poor, and perform the prayers daily. However, when one
becomes an adult, one follows all regulations out of habit and is
known to be a good Muslim.

Babies
are considered gifts from Allah, and birthdays are a time of great
rejoicing and merriment. Once a child is born, the shahadah and some verses from the Qur'an are recited to
the child. Usually, a devout Muslim recites these. Unlike others,
Muslim parents usually wait a week before announcing the child's
name to others.

During her lifetime, a
woman must wear a hijab for modesty’s sake. Many Muslims
argue that the hijab protects women from men. However, others can
argue that it should be the woman’s choice whether or not to
wear the hijab.
