All about Islam

Founder
The founder of Islam was Muhammad. He was born around the year 570, in the city of Mecca. He died around the year of 632. Abu al-Qasim Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-MuttalIbn Hashim was his full name. His name means highly praised.
Muhammad's father died several weeks before his birth, and his mom died when he was six years old. His paternal grandfather raised Muhammad, until the death of his grandfather occurred. Then, his patern
al uncle took him in and he began to earn a living as a businessman and trader. To the left there is a picture of Muhammad.
Followers
There is a lot of Islamic people living in different parts of the world. For example, there is 170,310,000 Islamic people in Indonesia. In Pakistan there are 136,000,000 Islamic people living there today. Bangladesh has 106,050,000 Islamic people.

Holy Books
The Qur'an is one of the Islamic holy books. I took one of the quotes out of it, and it says,
"Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in
bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fe
ar may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. So
me other Islamic holy books are the Sunnah, and the Nahjul Balagha.

What are the managers strengths and weaknesses of baseball?

To help write about my topic, I found a great website to help me out. The website is about managers of baseball. On a baseball team you need to have a good manager, players, and leadership. In order to succeed in baseball your team needs a good manager. Usually the teams with best managers make it to the playoffs and even win the World Series. The teams success isn't all about the managers though. Part of the teams success is the players on the team. If you have players that aren't that good, then your team wont be as good. If your players are good then it will be less hard to make them better. Sometimes your team can have players that aren't so good but there team will end up being good because of your manager. At the end of the baseball season teams from all over the world play each other. The team from the U.S. is usually coached by the best manager, and that manager is usually the one whose team wins the world series.
