ISLAM

I have finished reading a book - "My Voyage into Islam". The author is an English woman who is now living in New Zealand. This book is simply her autobiography giving accounts of her Marriage with Willy, a Fijian Muslim and her eventually conversion to Islam. She gave a lot of explanations to the Islamic practices in the second half of the book. These practices include the question of Muslim's polygamy, woman's dresses and position in Islam, Ramadan, Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca) and so on.

It is interesting to know that Muslims believe there are two angels with every human being. One on the left shoulder and the other on the right shoulder. The angel on the right records that person's good deeds while the one on the left records all the wrong doings. So if you are doing something bad next time, cover your left shoulder!
