OVERVIEW
This page was created by Butler University students to give a glimpse of what the daily life for a Muslim may look like. As Islam is one of the fastest growing religions, it is important to understand the religion as best we can so that Muslim's feel supported and understood in their day-to-day lives. We touched on many aspects of the daily Islamic culture including food, physical appearance, gender differences, prayer, and holidays. By visiting the pages of the site, you can learn more information about each of these aspects!
