Among the 90%, three-quarters are Sunni and the rest are separated amid other Muslim sects. http://www.cometosyria.com/en/pages/Religion+syria/6/1. There are many components and traditions to the Muslim religion. Always eating with one’s right hand, as the left hand is used for bathroom use. Pronouncing God’s name before eating or drinking. Trimming facial hair, pubic and underarm hair is important as well as circumcision. Refraining from sexual contact during a woman’s menstruation. A big part of this religion is prayer. Muslim’s have timed prayer five times a day to connect with Allah and seek guidance. In order to pray body and clothes must be clean, worshippers kneel on clean rugs. The hijab is another important part of the Muslim religion. The reasoning behind this headdress is explained by Aisha Stacey “because they believe God has made it an obligation for believing women. In the Quran, God tells the believing men and women to lower their gaze and to dress modestly. He (God) specifically addresses women when He asks them not to show off their adornment, except that which is apparent and draw their veils over their bodies. (Quran 24:30-31)”
