In my Core class we had a simulation! A simulation is where you can act out different roles or kind of like a short play. The role I played was an African, and I had Ivory. The Romans needed Ivory for combs, statues,and other things. In our country we didn't get many protection,so that caused the Barbarians to kill us, and take our goods. I would have liked to be a Roman,because they had more power. Also so I could have protected better the Roman Empire better, so that we could have maybe had a chance to live.
My uncle has offered me to join the caravan! I Don't know what to decide, my parents don't like the idea, but I think I might take this chance. I want to accerpt this offer, because I don't want to keep living in this small town with no rights to do mostly anything! I admit I do evny some of my desert travels because they have more rights than I do. This why I am willing to take this risk, so I and my family can have more rights. My family doesn't under stand me, but I will prove to them that I can become succsessful.
Muhammed was a very respected prophet that taught the word of god. Although the Mecca's threathed him to kill him and his followers, Muhammed never gave up. He fought for wat he wanted, and want he wanted was his religion to spread. He was Islam. Muhammed had spread Islam threw out many countires, like Arabia. At first Muhammed had no followers, but over time he grew more and more followers.
The reason why people were intrested in what he said, was because Muhammed had said that he had talked to an angel and the angel that told him to spread the religion of Islam. Many people had believed Muhammed and that In 622 Muhammad had became a prophet, and that is also a great reason why many people wanted to hear what he had to say. The one pilar that I think was the most challenging for the Islams was the last pilar. That pilar was that all Islams had to go to Muslim at least once a year. I think that one is the most challenging because lets say a believer of Islam lived in a desert, how will they have a transportaion to get there?
Some of you guys might not agree with me, but the rest of the pilars all have to do with praying, fasting, believing in just one god, and reading the bible. I belive that those are very important than any others. Trade played a big role in with the Muslim's. One of the reasons why trade helped Islam spread was because the mercants would preched to different cultures that they traded with.
Another great reason was because there trade routes were near Europe, Asia, and South Africa. That had helped them because they would trade to different cultures, so that meant that those people would spread Islam in many different cities, countries, etc. | Cinthya A.In this blog I will be blogging about what we do in Core.
