Introduction to Islam

We are half way the month of Ramadan and the previous two episodes were related to this month of fasting for Muslims. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. In this episode we speak about the other four pillars of Islam, about the history of Islam and some of the important traditions and believes of Muslims. I worked on this episode also as part of my tour guide studies. We had a semester with Dr. Barakat Al Qasrawi about the history of Islam and the religious practices. Instead of preparing for the final exam in Arabic, which was a bit out of my league, I prepared this podcast episode in which I share what I learned from him and the sources he shared with me in English.In this episode you will also hear my daughter Louisa pronouncing some of the verses in Arabic.If you want to know more about Sufism then you can listen to episode 2 of season 2.Or click here to find it on the Buzzsprout siteConnect to Stories from Palestine on social media, follow the YouTube channel and sign up for the weekly e-mail.
