1) In Islam, Muslims pray directly to God without any intermediaries. Prayers can be done anywhere that is pure, including at sea. 2) Islam teaches equality among all people regardless of origin, race, sex, color, language, wealth or poverty. This is evident during Hajj where all people appear the same. 3) Purity is essential in Islam, requiring ablution before prayer and bathing after sexual intercourse. Personal accountability and avoiding harming others are also emphasized.
