Essay on the Five Pillars of Islam and Comparisons
Subject: Re: Five Pillars of Islam and Comparisons
Explain one of the Five Pillars in Islam and one of the social teachings of Islam that you find most interesting. Be sure to explain how they might relate back to the foundational theological concepts of Islam.
Compare either the pillar or social teaching you discussed with a similar practice or position from any of the other religious traditions we have studied so far (e.g., you could use a practice from Hinduism or a social teaching from Christianity, etc.). How are they similar and/or how are they different?
How do you think the underlying theology or understanding of reality in the different religious traditions impact the practices and social teachings that they promote?
