Which statements about Islam are accurate?

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.
Muslims fast for one month each year at Ramadan.

B.
Muslims are expected to pray five times a week.

C.
Muslims are not required to share their wealth with those less fortunate.

D.
Muslims should try to make a pilgrimage to Mecca in their lifetime.

Answer 1

I don't know much about Islam, but it seems to me likely that A is true. They definitely fast during the ramadan (but I don't know if it's exactly a month)

B seems to be wrong - Wouldn't you agree they pray more than five times a week?

C also seems wrong. I think they are supposed to share their wealth, but I am not sure (might or might not be true)

D seems true to me. I think you are meant to (if you can) go to Mecca at least once in your life.

I could be wrong about most of it, but it seems likely to me that A and D is right and B and C is wrong. I hope it helps

Thx

Answer 3

-yeah, I think A is one.

"Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast."

-I don't think it's B because I'm pretty sure they pray 5 times a day, not a week.

-I think C is wrong.

"Muslims are required to give away a percentage of their earnings to those less fortunate, regardless of their religion." so they are required. (according to the five pillars of Islam)

-I think D is right because according to one of the five pillars of Islam:

"If it is financially possible, Muslims are required to travel to Mecca once in their lifetime."
