Judaism
Judaism is a religion that doesn’t have an individual person, but the Hebrew people, the chosen people, chosen by God to enlighten all people.
Remain in diaspora (or = exile around the world without home) waiting for the coming of the Savoir, who will in the world be the Kingdom of God.
The symbols of Judaism
- The Wailing Wall - Jerusalem, is what remains of the Temple of Herod destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 AD Here the Jewish come to pray. It is the only sacred place of all Judaism.
- The seven arms of the candelabra - The menorah is the symbol of Judaism. The 7 is for the Jews the number of fullness, perfection.
- The Synagogue - This is the place of prayer, study and reunion.
- The Rabbi - The Hebrew have no priests. The Rabbi is not a master, but a spiritual guide for the faithful interpretation of the Bible.
- The Sabbath - A weekly day holiday of the Jews. Starts on the Sunset of Friday and goes until the Sunset of Saturday. It is a day dedicated to prayer and rest.
Sacred Scripture
- The holy book is the Bible. It corresponds to the Old Testament of Christians, with few differences. The Torah contains the first five books attributed to Moses (Book of the Law).
The Holidays (the main parties)
- The day of forgiveness - "Yom Kippur" - festival of fasting and atonement. Each Jew should extend to their enemy's a hand of reconciliation, forgetting the harm and asking for forgiveness. - The feast of the Passover - "Pessah" - refers to the output of the Hebrew people in Egypt led by Moses. Extends for eight days.
- The feast of Pentecost - "Shavuot" - recalls the Gift of Torah (Ten Commandments), given by God to Moses, on Mount Sinai.
Islam
Islam in Arabic means submission to the will of God and Muslims are the followers of this faith.
The Sacred Book
The Qur'an (reading or recitation) is the book containing the revelations of the archangel Gabriel made for the prophet Mohammed. It Teaches religious precepts, and moral dogmas. It consists of 114 chapters (suras). It contains not only praise and allusions to the characteristics of Allah, but also descriptions of paradise and final judge, Jewish and Christian legends and social norms.
Muslims have five basic obligations:
- Profession of faith in the unity of God, Allah, and mission of Prophet Muhammad, giving repeatedly that "There is no other god but Allah and Muhammad and his Prophet" ( "Wool ilãh illã'llah Mohammad rasoul Allah).
- Praying 5 times a day, kneeling on a carpet, toward Mecca. The Prayer is an act of worship to Allah. The clothes and the body must be cleaned of all impurities. Furthermore, in the man, the part of the body between the navel and the knees must be covered and, in women, only the hands and face may be uncovered.
- Islamic alms (zakat) - is the amount, in kind or in cash, which means the Muslim who have should distribute among the needy. The zakat is compulsory for anyone who has it in his possession for one year, gold with the minimum weight of 88 grams or silver as minimum weight of 612 grams.
- Fasting of Ramadan - the act is to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, etc.., for one month from the rising until the sunset. They release the children, the insane, the disabled, the elderly and the weak. The traveller, the patient or the woman who breast-feed, may postpone the fasting. It is done in the month of Ramadan, month in which Allah revealed the Koran.
- Pilgrimage to Mecca - should take place once in a lifetime, if circumstances allow, this is, if they are in physical conditions and have material conditions to undertake the journey. There, they must do seven laps around the Caaba.
The Arabs use the lunar calendar. The year has twelve months with the beginning emergence of a new moon. They are months of twenty-nine or thirty days according to the lunation, so that the year has 354 days and nine hours.
Furthermore, we know that they count the years and centuries from Hégira, emigration of Mohammed to Medina, so that in 1990, of the Christian era, the Muslims were in the year 1410.
