Shahadah, I really enjoyed this post. It gave me insight to the traditional lifestyle of a Muslim household. I have attended Catholic school my whole life so I have never really been given the chance to understand the life of a Muslim. My favorite part of your short passage was when you said “I am from a home where we remove our shoes upon first entering to show respect for the home and the family that resides there.” I find this very interesting and inspiring that you employ this tradition, as I agree that it shows respect for the whole home and family. Overall, I am happy I clicked on your name to read this post! It’s a wonderful passage. Here is an article that gives you a little look into Catholic traditions. You shared your traditions with me, and I’d like to share mine with you. http://www.beginningcatholic.com/catholic-tradition

Hi Shahadah, nice name! It is interesting to know different religious culture. I am currently attending a Catholic high school however I am not a Catholic, but I enjoy learning different religion. I am curious about your family or religious customs and the environment around your household. Hope you can tell me more about those. Thank you for your post!
