First Exploration of the Great Eclipse 3
Each prayer was performed towards the Kaaba in Mecca.
Salah means to devote oneself to Allah and is seen as a private communication with Allah as an expression of gratitude and worship.
Salah is mandatory, but discretionary is available. The prayer is recited in the language of the Great Food and consists of verses from the Qur'an.
3. Zakat: Almsgiving.
This is an act of almsgiving to accumulate wealth, and it is the duty of all Muslims who are able to do so. They are obliged to donate a fixed portion of their savings to help the poor or to promote Islam.
zakat is regarded as a religious obligation, and the wealth of the rich is "the property of Allah's graciousness," so the rich owe it to the poor.
Both the Qur'an and the Hadith hold that Muslims should voluntarily give more wealth.
4. Fasting: Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn to dusk in the month of Ramadan and reflect on their mistakes.
Fasting is the pursuit of a sense of closeness to Allah, and Muslims are required to be grateful and dependent on Allah during the month of Ramadan in order to make up for the past mistakes of Muslims and to care for the poor.
For those who are unduly burdened, fasting is not necessary and can be dealt with as appropriate, and Muslims who fail to observe the fast must make up for it as soon as possible.
Some Muslims do not fast in the month of Ramadan, but at different times.
5. Hajj: The pilgrimage to Mecca in the month of Al al-Khail-al-Khail.
Any able-bodied Muslim is required to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his lifetime.
When pilgrims enter within 20 miles of Mecca, they must wear ordained garments, consisting of two seamless long scarves.
The Hajj ritual consists of walking seven times around the Ka'ba, touching the black stone, running back and forth between Mount Safa and Mount Merwo seven times, and symbolically throwing stones at the devil in Mina.
Hajj pilgrims are highly respected in their homeland, and Islamic teachers consider Hajj to be an expression of Allah's devotion and not a means of gaining fame.
In addition, there are many strange customs about the big food country, and Nan Jiyun listens to it with relish. However, although this merchant did business with the Great Cannibals, he had never sailed to the land of the Great Food, and had only heard that it would take several months to sail by ship, and that he would have to pass through Tianzhu and other small countries on the way to reach it.
The sea route is so far away that the land route is self-explanatory. Nan Jiyun and others asked the merchant about the big food treasure knife and the good horse, and the dealer replied: The big food treasure knife is the Damascus knife, which is finely made and very sharp, and it is a sharp weapon for the big cannibal to cross West Asia, and it is not easy to show people, and the big food and good horse are also rare in the Celestial Empire.
Nan Jiyun and the others were stunned, but after hearing so many anecdotes, it was not in vain.
After a few days, Liu Feng and Lian Lixiong returned from Shaozhou, and everyone discussed it, and they all thought that Yang Mi should have stopped and would not embarrass Zhangjia Village.
However, Mu Shouyi is the person who is thoughtful, and insists on waiting for a while, after all, the four righteousness of Ludong are all good men in the north, and they are all acting in Jiangbei, and it is rare to get Jiangnan, let alone Lingnan, since they are meddling in the matter of Zhangcun, they must be done safely, and everyone naturally has no objections.
Since entering Guangzhou, they have been around Yang Mi's affairs, and now that the matter is over, they should visit the old ones, and the martial arts style in Guangzhou is very prosperous, and there are many well-known martial arts fists. Ludong Siyi has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, quite chivalrous, and knows many southern martial arts figures, so he took this opportunity to visit them one by one, which is also a great pleasure.
Nan Jiyun and others want to accompany Ludong Siyi to visit friends and get acquainted with southern heroes, but Liu Feng said that Guangzhou is still Yang Mi's land, if you meet Nan and Lei and Ludong Siyi are familiar with each other, then wouldn't the previous efforts to hide the identities of Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun be in vain?
So Nan and Lei had to accompany Liu Ningshuang and Mu Xueyan to travel around, there are many scenic spots near Guangzhou, and occasionally go far away, so they rest in other states, the Tang Dynasty is open, the defense of men and women is not strict and they are all people in the martial arts, men and women walk together, but no one looks sideways.
Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun both admired Mu Shouyi's wisdom.
It is worthy of being a predecessor who has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, doing things cleanly and neatly, without dragging the mud and water, and hitting the key point as soon as he makes a shot, he is really sophisticated and ruthless, and his reputation is well deserved.
According to Nangong Jin: This is the fifth time that he has intervened in similar things, and in the first four times, two wealthy and powerful people were tyrannical to the end, and they were all cooked by Ludong Wuyi, but they never hurt their families.
If the other party is desperate and still insists on doing it, Ludong Wuyi is also the culprit and the first evil, and the destruction of people is full of this kind of thing, Ludong Wuyi will not do it!
Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun both nodded yes.
After Liu Feng and Lian Lixiong received the letter, they explained to the villagers of Zhangcun again and again, and then went to Guangzhou to meet Mu Shouyi and others.
After the brutalization of the people in Yang Mi's official mansion came to an end, everyone was waiting for Liu Feng and Lian Lixiong at the inn.
While chatting, Nan Jiyun said, "Master Mu, we have seen many big food merchants in Guangzhou Port, I don't know if you know anything about big food?"
Mu Shouyi replied: "Brother Nan, this Great Food Country is far outside the Western Regions, and I don't know much about its country, some people say that the territory of this Great Food Country is not smaller than that of my Heavenly Empire, but I know that Great Food is also a very large country, as for the subtleties, I don't know."
Nangong Jin continued: "I have also heard people say that this big food country has good horses and treasure knives. The horse breed is excellent, galloping for thousands of miles, fast and stable, and its sex is tame, as a military horse, it is the most suitable. Not to mention the sword, which is very sharp and has delicate patterns on it, all of which are different and very precious."
Nan Jiyun nodded yes, and Liu Ningshuang said, "If Brother Nan is interested, let's go to the port again and take a look at the world-famous good horse treasure knife."
Mu Xueyan said, "Daddy, can I go with Brother Nan, Second Brother Lei, and Sister Shuang?"
Mu Shouyi twisted his beard and smiled: "Naturally, the movements of the Yang Mansion can be monitored by the two of us elders, you don't have to worry. It's always good to go out and see the world."
Nan, Lei, Liu, and Mu were all happy, and they were very comfortable to visit and hang out in this big city of Guangzhou, talking and laughing.
The Tang Dynasty was still martial, the practice of martial arts was extremely prosperous, and the folk customs were much more open than the previous generation. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty himself had Hu blood, the mother of the founding emperor Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Dugu was a Xianbei person, and the contemporary great poet Li Bai was also born in the Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, and it is very likely that he has Hu blood.
However, this time in Guangzhou, Nan Jiyun saw the big cannibal for the first time, and he was very curious, this big cannibal looked different from the color man in the Western Regions. Long head, narrow face, eagle hooked nose, beard, high skull raised, but with many scarves, strong body, length comparable to Tang people, dress is also very simple, a long gown, a long belt and a blouse, a shawl or scarf on the head, no socks, shoes are also simple.
