Judaism

Judaism was formed with very strict beliefs. Proba-

bly the best example to begin with is, Judaism has

two leaders and an interesting story of how it was

formed. The Judaist leaders are the god Yahweh

and the spiritual leader the rabbi. Abraham was the

founder of Judaism. The religion came about be-

cause Abraham’s father was selling items of gods

to the people and he did not think it was right.

Even so, Judaism is one of the largest religions in

the Middle East and has a mixture of terrains in its

physical layout. Judaism was created in 1300

B.C.E. Judaism now has 14 million believers.

Where Judaism was originally founded the region

has a mixture of different terrains such as snow-

capped mountains and dry deserts. To add even

more fuel to the fire, Judaism beliefs are strict but

the people and their god have a very close relation-

ship. The Jewish have a certain time of day when

they have to worship their god and they confess

their sins through prayer and meditation. The be-

lievers worship their god and he answers their

prayers. One can see that, even though Jewish re-

ligion is strict they still have a great relationship

with their god.

The formation of Judaism was a complex

process. First and foremost, Judaism is the largest

and most important religion in the Middle East. Ju-

daism was founded by Abraham. Abraham was Je-

sus’ first follower and he brought the religion to Is-

rael about 4000 years ago. An interesting fact is,

this religion was originally founded in Mesopota-

mia. This religion is now mostly found in Israel

and has 14 million followers. On top of that, Abra-

ham began this religion because he didn’t like what

his father was doing to the people. Abraham’s fa-

ther was selling items of gods to the people so they

could feel safe and Abraham didn’t think it was

right. In summary, the formation of Judaism began

with Abraham 4000 years ago and has now ex-

ceeded to over 14 million believers.

The layout of the region has various terrains. A good

fact about Israel is, it has a unique mix of different

terrains. This terrain includes scorching deserts along

with snow-capped mountains and the Mediterranean

Sea. In addition to that, during the formation of this

region the people lived in Mesopotamia. The religion

started in Mesopotamia but then spread to Israel later

on. From then to now, the believers live in Israel and

some still live around Mesopotamia. The believers

live just about everywhere around the world. So

therefore, the terrain of Mesopotamia may have

changed but it will always be home to Judaism.

The believers and their god have a close rela-

tionship. First and most importantly, the Judaist God

Yahweh plays an important role for his believers. The

god is a symbol of worship along with a way for the

believers to atone for their sins. Similarly, the role of

the believers is to serve their god. The believers only

have to serve him, worship him, and confess their

sins to him. Accordingly, the believers and their god

have an important relationship with each other. The

relationship between the two is that the believers

have to serve Yahweh and only Yahweh. With all of

this, the belief of Yahweh has his followers worship

him.

Judaism has very strict beliefs. To begin with,

the Jewish have a special place where they go to wor-

ship their god. The Jewish worship their god in a

Synagogue. An additional fact is, the Jewish only

have on other religious leader besides Yahweh. Their

religious is the Rabbi or great lord in English. In ad-

dition to the first two, the Jewish have many uses for

prayer and meditation. They also have holy days and

celebrations. The Jewish confess their sins through

prayer and meditation and one of their major holy

days is the Passover. You can conclude that, Judaism

is not just a religion but a lifestyle.

Judaism religion is very unique. First of all, the

Jewish believe in one god. Their god is Yahweh and

their religious leader is the Rabbi. In addition, the

format of the land has a very beautiful and unique set

up with different terrains. The physical layout where

this religion was founded is very beautiful. On top of

that, the people and their god are very close to each

other. The people worship their god and their god

does good things for them. Indeed, the Jewish have

specific beliefs, the layout of their land is near per-

fect art, and they have a good relationship with their

god and this is all a part of their life and, as they

think, their existence.

Islam

The religion of Islam has many different beliefs. The geography of Saudi Arabia is also treacherous. First of all, Mecca, which is

located in Saudi Arabia, is where the religion Islam was founded. Mecca has some very different weather patterns. Another fact is, Mus-

lims have to live by a very hard lifestyle. They have one god and he is Allah. Also, the Islam religion practices the same things everyday.

They worship to the same god and also in the same place. Basically, everyone in the Islamic religion lives one way and follows one path.

The Islam people of the Middle East have a long formation. One notable example is that Islam is the youngest of three monotheis-

tic religions. It was revealed over 1400 years ago in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Even so, the final prophet still had a complete revelation. Mu-

hammad had a revelation from the angel Gabriel. More over, thought the rest of his life more revelations came to him. These thoughts

lead to the writings of The Qur’an. Together the formation of the Islam religions is very interesting.

The Muslims have hard and strict beliefs in their gods. First and foremost, the Muslims believe in Allah and Allah only. They don’t

see Muhammad as a god but as a leader. Still, the Muslims have five pillars that they need to follow. The five pillars are Shahabad, Sabot,

Zaleat, Swam hajji. Those are the pillars that they follow everyday. On top of that, they think Allah is powerful and is just. They also see

the Day of Judgment and Jihadist Struggle. Lastly, the Islamic life is a struggle because of their beliefs.

Islam has various practices and celebrations. Initially, the Muslims worship at a temple or a home. The temple is called a Mosque,

and when they are at home they have a niche in the wall that is a symbol to which way the holy land, Mecca, is located. To back it up, the

Muslims have a very special month. This month is called Ramadan, which is where they fast for the whole month. It’s not that they don’t

eat at all; it’s that they only eat at night. Also, the Muslim people really don’t have a religious leader. They pray by themselves. Basically,

their practices have some varies actions.

The geography of where Islam was founded in a somewhat plain place to view from sight. For example, Mecca is founded in Saudi

Arabia. Mecca’s elevation is 910 feet above sea level. It was also found between two mountain ranges. To add on to that, it is surrounded

by the Himalayan Mountains. It also is surrounded by Mount Jabel Aiyad, Mount Abu Quays and Mount Hira. The mountain ranges vary.

Best of all, the plains of Mecca are glassy like a mirage or is just simply desert. The desert is called the Red sands. It only rains in the

Red Sands about three times a month. Even so, the mountain ranges to the deserts are varying treacherous.

Islam has a lot of different rules to follow so they can be considered Islam. For example, Islam only believes in one god and that’s

all they ever will believe. They believe that god controls everything. Even so, Islam is one of the youngest monotheistic religions that are

still practiced today. This has been going on for about 1400 years ago. On top of that, Saudi Arabia is located right between Europe,

Asia, and Africa. The terrain has a lot of different weather conditions. Clearly, Islam is very strict. They are isolated in one area and they

only know one lifestyle which is the practices of Islam.

Buddhism is a religion that is important to the Asian region. Initially, the forma-tion of this religion was mysterious. Buddhists follow the path of enlightenment. Secondly, the beliefs and practices of Buddhism that is strict and proud. The wor-

ship and practices is their life. Best of all, the landscape of India and Asia is high and mountainous. Indeed, Buddhism is the right path for peace. The story for one man’s path for enlightenment is Buddhism. One way to look at this is, there is no belief in a personal god. There is no fixed relationship between god and humanity. And another thing is, the path to enlightenment is through the development of morality, meditation and wisdom. No one is forced into meditation,

but will do it to find peace in their lives. Even so, he Buddhists lives by the four No-ble truths also. All of life suffering, desire led to suffering Cessation of suffering. Truly, the Buddhists have no set god, but do believe in Buddha as a leader in prayer. Formation of Buddhism was very mysterious. For example, Siddhartha Gau-tama was a Hindu born in 500 B.C.E. He discovered the path to enlightenment by

sitting under a tree for seven weeks to mediation. On the other hand, Buddha is the leader of the buddasits. But they not see him as gold. As a leader in meditation. Lastly, Buddhism is 2,500 years old. It was started in Nepal in India. To conclusion the formation of Buddhism can be labeled strange

Buddhism geography layout is very steady. First of all Nepal has lots of moun-tain ranges. The range it’s by is the Himalayas, which the highest mountain ranges.

One reason is the believers of Buddhism, there are many and plenty. There are 376 million followers worldwide. Even so, the believers of Buddhism are spread out thought the world. The most is in China, India, and Thailand. In short, the believer of Buddhism is growing by the years.

The Buddhist follows strict rules. A great example is, one thing he follows the eightfold path to enlightenment. Buddhists can worship at home or temple. Next,

worship also includes, meditation, chanting, playing music, Mantra and Wesak the first at moon in May. Of course, they also believe in Karma and reincarnation. They also believe that what is done now will happen to you in the other after life. In to-tal, the Buddhist is freely to worship where ever they please.

You see how the Buddha has an important part in their lives. Starting, not

many people will finally understand Buddhism. They say you will only understand it

when you reach enlighten yourself. Secondly, Buddhism was a small religion but has

been spreading rapidly throughout many countries. There is a monk on almost

every point on earth. Third and finally, the monks have many practices. Some they

usually do alone but many can be done in groups. Concluding, the Buddha has im-

portant parts in their lives but also very busy and peaceful parts.

Christianity is the largest religion in the world. The best place to start is with the

amazing story of how Christianity was founded. Jesus (the messiah) was born

from the Virgin Mary in a stable in Bethlehem. On the other hand, there is the ge-

ography were Christianity was originally founded. The physical layout wasn’t

much. It was just like a desert with a little grass here and there. Third and even

more importantly, are the beliefs and practices of the believers and their god. The

believers focus on the life, birth, and death of their god. In summary, Christianity

is a large religion but the believers and their god has a pretty close relationship.

Christianity has a very interesting beginning. To begin with, Jesus started the

Christianity religion. Jesus is the son of god and he was sent to this earth through

the Virgin Mary to save us from our sins. Even so, this religion is very old. Chris-

tianity was founded 2,000 years ago (80CE). Lastly, Jesus plays an important

role in this religion. Jesus saved all of the people from their sins when he died on

the cross. Indeed, Christianity is a very interesting religion and it has an amazing

history.

Palestine has been divided into four main regions. A great example is, Palestine

is a big desert and it has some vegetation in it. The shape of it is like a triangle

and takes up half of the country. A great example is the coastal and inner plains.

Those planes are resources for the people of Palestine because of the irritation

system in the land. A final example is, since the religion grew it started to spread.

Now the believers of Christianity are worldwide. So, even though the physical

layout where this religion was founded wasn’t much but the number of believers

are outstanding.

The believers and their god have a close relationship. One reason is, Jesus has an

important role in the believers’ life. Jesus died on the cross for their sins and he

answers their prayers. Another reason is, the believers also play an important role

in Christianity religion. The believers serve their god and put no other god before

him and seek to live as Jesus taught. Even so, the believers and their god have a

relationship with each other. The believers serve their god and follow his ten

commandments and their god answers their prayers and forgives them of their

sins. Therefore the believers and their god both play an important role in each

other’s life.

The believers and their god have key practices that they follow through. One

good example is the believers have a special place where they go to worship their

god. The believers worship their god in a church. Another good example is the

leaders (priests, ministers, or pastors) has an important role. The leaders are to

preach the word of god to its believers. A final example is the believer’s prayer is

used for one special thing. Also there are many celebrations in Christianity relig-

ion. The use of prayer is how the believers communicate with their god. The two

major celebrations that are celebrated are Christmas (Jesus birth) and Easter

(Jesus’ resurrection). The evidence is clear, that the believers and their god key

practices are a part of their everyday life.

Christianity is a very widespread religion. Again, the religion has a lot of differ-

ent ways to express their worship to their god. They pray to one god and one god

only. Also, the geography of Christianity started in Palestine. The region is a big

desert. It’s also full of coastal and inner plains. On top of that, the Christians

praise only one god and have a personal relationship with him. The Christians

put their god first and believes he’s ruler of everything. Basically Christians be-

lieve god controls everything and ruler of everything.
