THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY Muslims around the world values respectful communication and the respect amongst them is one of the most important aspects among this community as it makes them achieve their goals effectively.

1. THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY
Muslims around the world values respectful communication and
the respect amongst them is one of the most important aspects
among this community as it makes them achieve their goals
effectively. Muslims no matter if the person is female or male,
older or young, and anything in between, respect is a must for
everyone to follow. Good communication in the United States
among the Muslims also helps them to remain united. The main
written genre that the Muslims use to communicate and coexist
well is the recitations from the holy book Quran where I found
out that all was done using Arabic language. Therefore the
genres that they mainly derive from this written works are oral
communication and sounds.
Oral communications are read from the written scripts of the
Quran and I found out that everyone in this mosque I was
reaching on used the mouth to pray and speak to Allah. From
this the Muslims are able to read and understand the teachings
in the Quran and also how to live amongst themselves in peace
and this makes them a peaceful community. All of them abide to
these teachings from this written work and majority of them are
ready to help the disadvantaged amongst themselves as this is
what the Quran written message teaches them. They also have
their own ‘Dua’ which according to the Quran teachings tells
them to forgive their friends and coexist in happiness and unity
for the common good of the community. I found out that to all
Muslims they see they said “Waalikum-al-Salam” which means
peace be upon you. This is a greeting routine whenever Muslims
are gathered or have interacted and the reply a fellow Muslim
gets is “Wa-Aleikum-Salaam” which means “unto you peace”.
This means Muslims as a discourse community values peace
among themselves so much because it is the only way they can
coexist to realize their goals and objectives.
When incorporating new members, I found out that one first was

2. told and explained clearly the five pillars of their religion
Islam. The first pillar a new member has to learn is the
confession of faith (shahada).The new convert here has to be
told that this is the Muslim profession of faith, expressing two
fundamental and simple beliefs that will make the new member
a Muslim. The second pillar was the ritual prayer that a new
member has to be taken through. This is also referred to
amongst the Muslims as “salat” which the new convert learns
that it is said five times a day: at dawn (al-fajr), midday (al-
zuhr), afternoon (al-asr), sunset (al-maghrib) and evening (al-
isha).This means that the Muslim community is a prayerful
group which is always seeking interventions from their believer
Allah on how to go on about their daily lives. The third pillar a
new convert has to be taken through is Alms tax (zakat) which
is the central activity in Islam. This will teach the new convert
that it is always good to pray and offer the alms as an offering
to Allah because those who are greedy and use their money
outside the will of Allah the Quran has harsh words against such
people, e.g. from Quran 9:34-35 it says “the fires of hell will
heat up the coins and the greedy will be branded with it”. This
means the new member will always observe this which I
realized on my research is highly upheld and practiced among
the Muslims. The fourth pillar is based on fasting during the
holy month of Ramadhan and the new convert is told to observe
this with great respect. This is a practice which I observed that
during the ninth month of the Islamic year all the Muslims are
in a fasting mood where they seek the revelation of the Quran to
humanity during Ramadhan and they remain prayerful to Allah
to make the hurdles of life ahead of them easy to face and
coexist well as members of the Muslim community. The last
pillar that is in accordance to Muslim practices a new member
has to learn and be incorporated into Islam is the pilgrimage to
Mecca which is the sacred city of Islam. This journey is known
as hajj in Arabic and majority of Muslims I found that adhered
to this, those who could not could support their friends as their
representatives and it did help them to reflect the works of

3. Allah their prophet into their lives. All these practices are the
main the Muslim community first uses to teach the new
members and also how they will find it easy in communicating
with one another among other doctrines which are enshrined in
the teachings of the Holy book Quran.
In solving conflicts amongst the Muslim community in the
United States they embrace dialogue. Islam offers the sure way
of solving conflicts because in itself this religion is a faith of
dialogue and the holy book Quran is also a book of dialogue I
interviewed some of the Muslims from their knowledge of
Quran, I found out that it is the highest form of objective,
beautiful and constructive dialogue between all manner of
people and at all levels of human relationship hence making
dialogue as an effective method of conflict resolution. There are
many dialogues in the Quran between Allah Himself and His
creatures and the picture I got was that this was a peaceful way
among them to solve and mediate any conflicts among the
Muslims where Islam accords dialogue as the best high position
for conflict resolution. Majority of the Muslims embrace this
way to solve differences amongst themselves and also between
people of different faiths and culture. It also comes clearly that
Muslims have come up with points of agreement between
diverse cultures. Muslim use was to remain prayerful to Allah
always and seek for divine intervene from Him. Most Muslims
could get from Allah the spirit of forgiveness and embrace the
other conflicting party as their brother or sister and this could
resolve the conflict in question. Lastly the community also has
mediators who can be called to listen to the two warring groups,
get the side of their story and with great leadership and
expertise provide for solution to that conflict and this is clearly
effective in solving out the differences among them.
The highest ranked Muslim authority leader is the Prophet
Muhammad. However there is no central authority in the
Muslim community and everybody who has embraced must be
responsible for his/her actions and this means their source of
authority is mainly confined in the teachings of their holy book

4. Quran. Muslim community the Imam is the male leader in the
mosque and whose responsibility is to lead Islamic worship
services, he is the most top leader among the Muslims in the
mosque and he has to recite the verses and prayer words and the
other worshippers have to follow his movements making him a
prayer leader and also serves as a member of the larger team in
a Muslim community. The other brothers and sisters are all
equal among them and share duties amongst themselves equally.
Prejudice and racism are the main problems which the Muslim
community is facing. Discrimination was widespread among the
Muslims in terms of employment positions where in some cases
Muslim brothers are always favored in a job in a Muslim
community and discriminating the non-Muslims. Those Muslims
who are not the original inhabitants in that land are also
discriminated against due to a clear and formal communication
to embrace one another as members of the same family.
My recommendation is that all Muslims should have a clear cut
communication because from this research Islam is the most
anti-racist and anti-prejudicial way of life even from earlier
done research work (Samana Siddiqui, 2016)I recommend all
Muslims to communicate effectively and make each one to show
open and equal treatment to other Muslims and also non-
Muslims and always keep their hearts and minds open to a clear
cut communication using the written forms of communication in
the Muslim community for a good coexistence among the
Muslim community.
Islam is a religion which has a positive impact to Muslims by
ensuring that it brings them with a close relationship with the
creator. Islam encourages the Muslims to have a sustained
awareness of Allah which is a key to everlasting happiness. It
teaches that their God is the source of happiness and peace
illustrating that it is a religion which focuses on happiness and
peace among the Muslims. By focusing on this important
relationship and following the Gods guidance, the Muslims are
able to acquire inner peace and tranquility. From the Quran,
true contentment is found only in acknowledging and obeying

5. the creator, Quran 13:28 which mean the teachings of this
religion are the best for a peaceful and happy life.
Islam provides a positive outlook on life. It gives a person a
clear perspective on the events that happen and unfold in their
life, both bad and good as they are in fact tests from God. Islam
encourages a Muslim to understand events of life in the context
of the overall life purpose which is to obey and acknowledge
Allah. This religion encourages a person to focus on what is in
their control, to be grateful to God for blessings, and to be
patient when hardships come in because patience and gratitude
is the only way to a happy life. It further encourages all
Muslims to remain free from the extremes of worldly happiness
that may cause one to forget God, and the extremes of sadness
that may cause one to lose hope and lay the blame to Allah.
Islam teaches the Muslims not to be entirely attached to the
material world which makes any Muslim to handle any
calamities which may occur and at the same time be beneficial
and generous to the society. This leads to a more balanced and
optimistic outlook on life where through Islam the believer is
encouraged to live positively. This religion further provides a
clear and concept of God because unlike other religions, Islam
is not named after its founder or the community of its birth.
Islam therefore is an attributive title that signifies the obedience
to Allah, the creator of the universe. The beauty of this religion
is that it acknowledges the complete perfection and uniqueness
of God which is reflected in Islam’s pure teaching of the
attributes of God. It teaches that God is one and unique, all
powerful, most high and is always perfect. This kind of
teachings makes the Muslim believer have a good relationship
with Allah and obey Him always. Islam is a religion which
emphasizes both on evidence and faith. This is a religion in
which faith is based on clear proof. Therefore it encourages
people to use their God given intelligence to think and ponder
over their life and the universe. The believer is encouraged to
live a life full of faith and hope for things unseen while
ensuring that this faith is full of lively actions that can be

6. supported by some form of evidence.
Islam encourages a balance between hope in God’s mercy and
the fear for His punishment both which encourages and makes
the believer live a positive and humble life. It teaches clearly
well that God is the Most Merciful and will forgive and pardon
those who sincerely want to repent. “Do not despair of God’s
mercy; He will forgive you all your sins.” Quran 39:53.This
means it teaches that the beautiful steps for repentance are
being sincere, remorseful, refraining from sin as well as not
having the intention to repeat the sin. This means Islam
encourages a continuous process of self-development and self-
purification. It further teaches us that accountability and
ultimate justice are the core values of life. This means at the
Day of Judgment, justice will prevail for all the wrongdoings
that one did because Allah is a Supreme and a just being. This
means a right balance between faith and action must be
exercised always by the Muslims.
past research
From the past research, it has been noted that language had an
impact on studies. By learning a new language, it seems
confusing to the learners hence affecting their learning. The
language to be learned is the second language, and that
language is what will be used to carry out education. The only
ways in which are these issues can be dealt with is by
encouraging the learners to read a variety of reading materials
hence it will enhance their ability to learn a language. Also,
they should be invited to be practicing the use of the language
by speaking or communicating using that language. However; to
avoid breaking these ethics for the past research, before
handling of the tissues from an individual, he or she should be

7. told the intention and such tissues should be taken with their
consent. Also, they should be understood the risks of
participating if any, and also the importance of involving.
Participants should be assured that after the research, the results
will be kept confidential, and in a case of an injury they will be
treated. Finally, they should be left to know that if they are not
willing to participate, then they will not be forced. And if they
agree to participate, such agreement is documented(Geeslin,
2014)
Primary research entails collecting first-hand information.
There are many ways of collecting the information, but for this
case, the most appropriate one is the use of an interview as a
way of obtaining the information. This is the most suitable
because one will
have to interact with the participants then apart from the spoken
words; one will be in a position to see their experiences
through the body talk. Also apart from the interview also
questionnaire can be used. Also, Primary research involves
interacting with the people who once learned the subject either
as the first language or the second language. By interacting with
them, one will get to know the language. Also reading materials
on the same will assist one in acquiring the desired information.
If in the case of reading, materials will be purchased at the
library. And in the case of one going to the field to interact with
these people then one has to prepare on the objectives. Written
materials were written during the time of collecting these
materials. For the case of secondary sources, one will have to
visit a library then to go through the printed materials.
Secondary sources are the materials which have been written,
and they give the analysis of the research which has been done.
Such materials include; journals, magazines, and even books.

8. So, when choosing a kind of a secondary source one can
consider using magazine because it contains the updated
analysis The most appropriate primary research method is by
interacting with the learners because it will save time since
within a short time one will have acquired the desired
information. This is possible since, if it is learning a new
language, it will be easy to learn compared to a situation where
one tries to learn the language by reading through the reading
materials. The primary of the research is to identify how the
learners acquire the second language(Kumar, 2014)
I came up with the ways in which the second language is
learned. Amongst the ways in which the language is learned is
by trying to memorize their language. Also, there is another
way which involves communication, with the communication; it
helps one to put in practice the learned language. also the other
ways in which these materials can be acquired is that for the
primary sources; one has to go to the field and to interact with
the participants. Or, one will have to go to the
library then, reading through the written materials which were
written during the time of collecting these materials. For the
case of secondary sources, one will have to visit a library then
to go through the printed materials
The most appropriate primary research method is the use of
interviews because it will save time for one to get the desired
information. This is possible since, within a short period, one
will have interviewed many participants. Also, after collecting
information from different people, it will be possible to

9. compare then come up with analysis.( (Kumar, 2014) The other
ways in which these materials can be acquired is that for the
primary sources; one has to go to the field and to interact with
the participants. Or, one will have to go to the library then,
reading through the written materials which were written during
the time of collecting these materials. For the case of secondary
sources, one will have to visit a library then to go through the
written materials.
I will be relying on the deductive reasoning where it gives the
data which is expected to be true then, from the assumptions i
will ask questions or interview other people to obtain for them
some ideas can help you. The difference between inductive and
deductive is that deductive uses statements which are
considered to be true then from there the assumptions are given.
While inductive gives explanations based on theories and
therefore explanations are given basing on what the theory
states.
The most sensible thing about having a list of all the activities
is that it will ensure that all activities will be conducted since
some of them will not be forgotten because it is not easy to
forget what has been written in anywhere.
The most appropriate primary research method is the use of
interviews because it will save time for one to get the desired
information. This is possible since, within a short period, one
will have interviewed many participants. Also, after collecting
information from different people, it will be possible to
compare then come up with analysis, the other activities which
are to be scheduled are the activities which will be done in the
process of collecting the studies. This has the details of what
will be done and at what time. This will feature all the activities
to be carried out when conducting the study
