Islamic Practices
Islamic practices shape many aspects of Muslim life.
Suite101's Islamic Practices topic features information on newborn rites, the celebration of holidays such as Ramadan and Eid ul-Adha, along with an overview of the Islamic festivals of Ashura, Milad un-Nabi and Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. You'll find tips for a successful Ramadan fast, and advice for Muslims who must pray in the workplace. Readers will also find information on the hijab and practices affecting Muslim women. Suite101's writers also examine Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam, which involves a pilgrimage to Mecca during the month of Dhul Hijjah.
