When I was 8, my father took me to a school in Senegal that taught Alhouran. He bought me a Koran.I had a best friend named Fatou. I started learning and reading the Quran after the teacher told me that my father should take me to learn the Quran. The Quran is the sacred book on which the Muslim faith is based. This is the first word that God whispered to the prophet Mouhamed through the angel Gambriel. All Muslims should learn the Quran because it is through the Quran that you know what it has forbidden a Muslim and is not forbidden. The Quran is very good because thanks to it I knew how to pray and also a Muslim girl must be a Muslim and help people. I learned many things. After 2 years I left school and I don't regret having learned the Koran because I knew a lot of things. The most important teaching of Islam is that there is only one god who is worthy of service and worship. Now I live in New York and I have a new school and new friends but the Quran helps me remember the lessons of islam and my friend.
