Hi my name is Fatima Zahir. Then today I'll be presenting from my capstone project.
- 00:08 - 00:12
The country I have chosen is Saudi Arabia.
- 00:12 - 00:17
Saudi Arabia is a country located in the Middle East on the Arabian peninsula.
- 00:17 - 00:20
The capital, Israel and it lies along the borders of the Red Sea,
- 00:20 - 00:25
the Persian gulf and is surrounded by many other Islamic countries such as Iran
- 00:26 - 00:29
sorry Iraq Egypt and Yemen,
- 00:31 - 00:35
the type of garment ruling Saudi Arabia is a monarchy
- 00:35 - 00:38
system and the current king is Salman bin Abdulaziz.
- 00:38 - 00:39
On south.
- 00:39 - 00:42
As many know the official language of Saudi Arabia is
- 00:42 - 00:46
Arabic and is heavily influenced by the religion of Islam.
- 00:47 - 00:53
The two major areas of Saudi Arabia are al medina and mecca as these
- 00:53 - 00:58
are the areas where the prophet was born and Islam was born as well.
- 00:58 - 01:01
And this is where most of it took place.
- 01:04 - 01:09
So Saudi Arabia has a desert climate and it is the largest country with no rivers.
- 01:10 - 01:15
It is known for its oil reserves. It's gold, natural gas, iron ore and copper.
- 01:16 - 01:20
There are many native plants to Saudi Arabia, but some of them are the blood lily,
- 01:20 - 01:23
Egyptian, meadow saffron, the royal jasmine,
- 01:23 - 01:26
which is also the national plant and some desert plants
- 01:26 - 01:29
that are very common are the date palms and name
- 01:33 - 01:34
being a muslim country.
- 01:34 - 01:37
Saudi Arabia doesn't have many holidays,
- 01:37 - 01:44
but some of the religious holidays that are celebrated are idul fitr and Eid al ADHA.
- 01:45 - 01:47
It'll feather happens after Ramadan
- 01:48 - 01:50
And Ramadan is a 30 day period.
- 01:50 - 01:54
When people fast from sunrise to sunset and at sunset
- 01:54 - 01:57
they break their fast with dates as the prophet did
- 01:58 - 02:00
After the 30 days.
- 02:00 - 02:04
There happens a celebration when people have a feast of traditional foods
- 02:07 - 02:12
before it'll add occurs, there happens a pilgrimage in the city of Makkah
- 02:12 - 02:16
where the Masjid al Haram is located, also known as the kaaba.
- 02:17 - 02:20
What these people don't know is the black box
- 02:21 - 02:23
and the hajj.
- 02:23 - 02:26
The pilgrimage is very important as a prophet said that
- 02:26 - 02:30
whoever performs it will return like a newborn baby.
- 02:30 - 02:32
And this is stated in the book of al Bahari.
- 02:35 - 02:36
Even loans, scholar
- 02:36 - 02:38
dr bilal Philips also states that
- 02:39 - 02:41
do not save hodge for the old age.
- 02:41 - 02:44
You do not know the date of your appointment with the angel of death
- 02:46 - 02:51
After those 10 days when the pilgrimage occurs in stages.
- 02:51 - 02:55
Uh there happens a celebration when uh
- 02:56 - 02:59
animal is sacrificed and only permissible animals are
- 02:59 - 03:02
allowed obviously ah such as the camel,
- 03:02 - 03:04
goats, cows and sheep.
- 03:04 - 03:10
And then those parts are distributed among family friends, the needy and the poor.
- 03:14 - 03:17
A major part of Saudi Arabia,
- 03:18 - 03:20
a very long time ago was treating,
- 03:21 - 03:27
trading was due to trading was used due to the lack of growing
- 03:27 - 03:29
plants that were in
- 03:29 - 03:31
the desert climate. And so
- 03:32 - 03:38
with trading the trading spices for food and incenses, perfumes,
- 03:38 - 03:42
precious metals are re silk and many other items to grow
- 03:42 - 03:43
the economy.
- 03:44 - 03:46

the first wife of the prophet was a trader and a very good businesswoman.
