Beliefs Muslims Have many beliefs. They need to pray five times a day wherever they are and need to face the city Mecca (I wonder how they know?) Most Muslims go to a mosque to pray or have a shrine at home.Muslims also need to go to the kabah(see next paragraph)once in their life.

Spiritual places Muslims have a few spiritual places ,but their no.1 spiritual places is probably the ka'bah in mecca stories say that god sent a rock down from earth and Adam and Eve crafted it into the ka'bah that muslims know today.

Sacred Writings The Muslims have a sacred book much like the bible it is called the Qur'an, it is written in Arabic some Muslim children learn to read the Qu'ran before they read English. The quran contains gods instructions to muslims.

Spiritual leaders The most important spiritual leader in Muslim religion is Muhammed who created the religion. Traditions and Holidaysthe most important holiday for muslims is Ramadan where muslims need to fast from sunup to sundown ,but feast at night and make many exotic and american dishes to eat they also need to pray more than usual.
