    Islam is one of the most complicated religions ever. It also has a very long history. In the year 570 A.D., a prophet named Mohammad was born in the city of Mecca. The Angel Gabriel then revealed God's Word to Him piece by piece over a period of 23 years. The God of the Muslims is known as "Allah", which means "The God" in Arabic. God's Word has been written down by the prophet Mohammad in what is known as the Qur'an. Muslims are expected to perform several acts of worship, especially in the Holy Month of Ramadan, when they must not eat, drink, smoke, or have ill thoughts from dawn to dusk. They can also give money to the poor, perform Profession of Faith, etc. In 622 A.D., Mohammad left Mecca because of the high opposition faced, and migrated to Medina. That was the first year of the Islamic calendar. Islam is a very righteous religion indeed.
    Buddhism is an extremely peaceful and interesting religion. It also has an interesting history. It all started sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries B.C., when Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) was born. He then took it upon himself to find a way to end all reincarnation, and therefore, suffering. In Buddhism, the goal is to meditate and become enlightened. You wish to enter the state of Nirvana, through which you shall escape reincarnation. To enter Nirvana, you must practice the complicated process of the Eightfold Path. Buddhism is a whole religion, and a whole lifestyle. It is, in fact, one of the most peaceful religions of the world.
    Islam and Buddhism are very complex, but also righteous and peaceful religions. Islam is one of the most righteous and complicated religions, and Buddhism is one of the most peaceful and intriguing religions of the world. These two religions are old and ancient, and have been always changing a little, just like the rest of the universe.
