In an arabian land; deserts and mosques!

In Arabian areas, Islamic people worshiped and followed the 5 pillars of Islam. Those five pillars taught them to have faith, prayers, alms, do fasting at Ramadan, and to take a pilgrimage at least once in thier lifetimes. Another important part of ancient Arabic lands was the holy city of Mecca, which was an important trade center and religious area in Islamic peoples lives. Mecca has the great box Ka'aba, where the followers of Islam go at least once in their lives for a pilgramage, to pray to their god Allah. A important symbol of the Islamic religion was the Ka'aba Key. The key is a symbol given to those chosen to guard the holy site of Ka'aba. An important natural resource in Arabia was an oasis, which was where the Islamic people got their water from. An oasis was usually a small spring or large lake, which was surrounded by small plants and palm trees. Lastly, another important thing that is in our picture is Islamic writing, which is important because it was how the Islamic people communicated to eachother.
