There are three types of Hajj but I don’t remember what they are.

People who perform Hajj have to go to places like Arafat, Mina, and Masjid-Al-Haram. On the day of Eid they have to
hit stones on a pillar that symbolizes Shaytaan. They cannot cut their hair until after their goat is sacrificed.
There are many rituals of Hajj such as going into the state of Ihram and then performing Umrah and then going to
places like Arafat and Mina. I also know that on the day of Eid people hit stones on a pillar that symbolizes Shaytan. I

6. Infer the lessons learned from the Farewell Pilgrimage sermon.
I don’t know.
IN his Khutbah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned lots of things such as: treating everyone with kindness and
fairness, being aware of the devil, women have rights over men, providing for the needy, always being faithful and true,
worshipping Allah, praying 5 times a day, fasting in Ramadan, offering Hajj at least once in our lifetime, always giving
charity, we’re all sisters and brothers, we’ll stay with our deeds so we shouldn;t astray from our path, no prophet and
religion will come after himself and Islam.
Prove with evidence how Islam gives rights for every human being.
Many people think that Islam is oppressive towards women but in reality there’s a whole Surah about women (An-
Nisa) talking about their rights.
Prophet Muhammad would treat his with lots of respect and whenever she would enter the room he would offer his seat
to his daughter. This was very important because during his time, people used to regard daughters in a negative light
and weren’t happy when they got a daughter instead of a son. Furthermore, Prophet muhammah (PBUH) used to treat
his wife as a companion and often sought her for advice. These examples from Prophet Muhammad’s life show how
women also have rights.

Justice in Islam
7. Explain the meaning of Justice.
Justice is equal treatment of everyone.
Justice is the equal treatment of everyone.
8. Explain the benefits of Justice.
Everyone can be treated the same regardless of their social status, race, religion, gender, nationality, etc.
Everyone can be treated the same regardless of their social status, race, religion, gender, nationality, etc. This is
beneficial in many ways but especially in legal matters because it offers a person a fair trial in court.
9. How does Islam empower justice. Provide evidence from the Quran/Hadeeth.
I don’t know.
I can’t remember from the top of my head but I think that Surah An-Nisa in the Quran talks about women’s rights.
