Protocol and Ceremonial in the Islamic Community

Abstract

The Muslim religion was one of the most transcendental events of human history when it appears in the first third of the seventh century; it provided a new political system. Its influence has been economical, social and religious. It was born in the heart of the Arabic peninsula, and with less of fifty years, it spread from the Atlantic Ocean to India, from east towards west. All those peoples gathered in that vast space the same common language, Arabic; and at the same time, they professed the same religious believe, the Islam. The life of the faithful Muslim is marked by prayers, since they are born till their death. It is a custom to whisper phrases from the Koran to newborn babies and agonizing people. They have a great variety in their protocols, because it depends on the culture of each country.
