The Sport that I like Most

I'm from Asia. Usually peoples in Asia love sports than any other nation. Our people mostly like one game that is Cricket. I'm a big bug of cricket. I've been playing cricket at the age of 8. This game is unknown to U.S.A, but its popular to South Asia. Almost everyone like this game. Its easy to play and enjoyable, but there are several rules to follow. “Cricket is played with two teams of eleven players, with two umpires (Referees) on an oval shaped field. The size of the field varies, but generally has a diameter of around 350 yards. A cricket bat is oblong shaped with a narrow handle. A full-sized bat is around 3 feet in length. A cricket ball is made of cork and covered with leather, and is then stitched up. A ball weighs around 5 ounces.

In the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a

hard, flat strip of dry ground around 22 yards long. 22 yards is an

old imperial measure called a chain. Two batsman are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. Then they hit the ball, if they hit the ball outside of the border line than its 4 run. If they hit the ball outside of the border line without touching the field, then its 6 run. They can play 50 over’s. 1 over count as a period of 6 balls. If any team score 300 run in 50 over’s, then the opposite team need to chase by 301 run. Thus the opposite team will win. If the opposite cannot chase than other team will win.

"The Concept of Islam"

             
There are a lot of religions in this World. Some of those religions are different than others, but some of those have similarity between them. My religion is Islam. Islam has a world-following in excess of one billion devotees; about 20% are in the Middle East, with the largest concentration of Muslims in Indonesia. There are over 4 million Muslims living in America, which means that there are about twice as many Muslims in the US as Episcopalians! There has been an active Muslim contingent in North America for over 300 years, since the time the religion arrived with West African slaves. Around A.D. 610, one man’s mystical experience in the Arabian Desert forever changed the world. In a cave outside Mecca, in what is now Saudi Arabia, a trader named Muhammad—a man known for his honesty and integrity—is said to have had a visit from the angel Gabriel. The angel told him he was to become a prophet and revealed the first few words of what would become the holy book of Islam, the Quran. Today, Islam-little understood by most non-Muslims—is the faith of 1 billion people across the globe and the fastest growing religion in the world.
