The Islamic Religion in Afghanistan

The religion in Afghanistan is very important for them. It’s called Islam. As we have the bible, they have the Koran. In their sacred book, it says that they can’t eat dogs, cats and even monkeys! The only way that the Muslim can eat these animals, is when the animal had been shot in a good way. That means that it should not be killed in a bad way. It must be killed by a Muslim and when it’s the time to shoot, the killer has to pronounce the Allah words.  Allah is their God, they believed in him really strongly. The Muslim prays five times a day (only the most religious ones).  This kind of pray is called “salat”. They pray in the morning, at lunch time, in the afternoon, when the sun goes down and when the night starts. They must do all these pray by looking towards Mecca. After that, they have to wash their hands, mouth, nostrils, neck and ankles. When they pray, they have to take off their shoes. The women should be all covered by the burqua, but we should just see their faces and their hands. The men must be only dressed at least with a pant.
