  4. I learned that in Islam they have Ramadan and they go for 40 days without food or water during the day, but when the sun goes down they kind of pig out all night long then they fast all day the next day again.

  5. I learned that one of the five pillars of islam is pilgrimage. This is when they travel to Mecca and perform hajj. If given the chance everyone must do this pilgrimage at least once in a lifetime. The most popuar time to go to mecca is during the month of Ramadan. Only muslims are allowed into the city of Mecca.
