When an eyewitness of an event tells us a story, we must consider it as credible. However, we must check it by consulting other sources.

<h3>What is a story?</h3>

A story is a type of narration whose main characteristic is the representation of events through language. The stories are testimonies that contribute to the preservation of memory about an event or even create memories. Another outstanding aspect of the stories is that it is influenced by the context and interpretation of the speaker.

According to the above, an eyewitness of an event may have a version of an event. However, to ensure the veracity of his account, it is necessary to consult sources related to the event such as

  • Other stories
  • Research
  • Documents

What parts of Muslim philosophy and learning do we see in our own culture today?
pogonyaev

If we look at the five principles of Islam, or the five pillars or the five fundamentals, belief practically ends with the first pillar of Islam. In other words, that affirmation that Allah is the only deity and that Muhammad is his messenger. After that, everything is action, is practice. The other four, i.e., praying, fasting, paying the zakat -- what I call a social tax -- and the hajj, involve action. Muslims are very action-oriented.
