    Every immigrant's dream is to come to the U.S. and be successful, but not all can make it, due to not being able to speak or understand English.

    As John Wooden once said, “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” While most would attribute their religion, race, and ethnicity among the qualities that constitute their identity, I believe I am much more than my religious beliefs, the color of my skin, and where I come from. It’s how we react to the curveballs life throws at us and the little things we do without being consciously aware of them, the things we do “when no one is watching.” These different components of our identity allow us to form communities with those sharing similar qualities.…

    Islamic archaeology is defined by Marcus Millwright as archaeology of “the regions where the ruling elite has professed the faith of Islam” (Milwright 2010: 6-7). This paper seeks to explore the ways in which Islamic archaeology can aid in the understanding of Islam and Muslims in the medieval world, by first examining the requirements of Islam and Muslim customary practices, and then evaluating three sources through which they may be manifest in material remains. Archaeological evidence of Muslim burial customs, religious pilgrimage (hajj), and the urban organization of an Islamic city are all ubiquitously indicative of a Muslim cultural framework established by Prophet Muhammad. Muslims adhere to Islam through requirements comprised within…
