Within the mosque there are separate areas of worship for men and women. When everyone is in the mosque they sit to show an equal status.
Prayer Muslims are meant to pray five times a day equally spread apart so that god is always present in their mind. When they pray they should face towards Mecca. Prayer is also known as Salat.

Muslims must at least make one pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. (providing they are financially and physically able) The pilgrimage is done from days 8-13 of the 12th month. The reason they go to Mecca is because it was declared a site of pilgrimage by the Prophet Muhammad in 630.
Dietary Laws Foods come in to two categories: Halal (Lawful) and Haram (Unlawful) Meat from swine is not allowed Alcohol is not allowed Animals must be slaughtered in the permitted (clean) way. The slaughter must be carried out by a certified and qualified Muslim as a special prayer is chanted.
