These are five practices that Muslims are obligated to do to assist them in practicing what they preach and putting their words and beliefs into action. The first pillar of Islam is the Declaration of Faith (Shahadah), that is reciting the words "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger,” which then leads one to enter the Islamic faith. The second pillar of Islam is Prayer (Salah), Muslims are obligated to pray five times a day, they must bath before prayer and be facing in the direction of Mecca.

    1A Answer: One example of how the Islamic world contributed to other cultures was how when Islamic merchants entered West Africa, they caused new beliefs and empires to develop. Since Islamic merchants preferred trading with fellow Muslims, West Africans practiced Islam to appease them.

  • Diversity In Dobe Newton's Song 'I Am Australian'

    The significance of diversity in Australia is supported by cultural and historical references in Bruce Woodley’s and Dobe Newton’s song ‘I am Australian’, reinforcing Australia’s diversity through a concept of ‘belonging’ between individuals and the land. The song celebrates association in diversity by acknowledging different ethnic backgrounds and significant events that took place in Australian history. The repetition conveyed in 'I am Australian' emphasises the message that everyone has the rights to feel intimately connected with the country with pride. This is further explored through the form in 'we are one but we are many' which provokes the story of a nation with respect and acceptance towards immigrants for our diverse multiculturalism.

Australia is now regarded as a diverse country with an identity that has evolved over time and will continue to do so. For Indigenous Australians to conform to this national identity, they had to assimilate and give up their values, beliefs, and cultural rights to become more like white Australia.
