One document that I found interesting was document 9.1 it began by talking an God/Allah and telling him he has guided them through the right path. Then it goes on to Jesus were he begins by talking about who he is and what he will be thought the wisdom and the law of the Gospel. This part is similar to the Bible. Then it continues on society, this part is telling us the people how we should act. For example "You should do good unto your parents and kinsfolk, and the orphans, and the poor". What shocked me the most on men and women was when it said " admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them. I do not understand why it is saying to beat up women when it talked about doing good, and that is definitely not good. Another one was document 9.3, I found interesting that Muslims have to pray five times a day exempt for women who are recovering from childbirth. The rules about marriage were strange, I don't understand but man could not marry two sisters, and they had to set free their slave girl before marrying her. It confusing because I did not think that men could be married to free women and a slave women. I found all these laws to be strange because I do not see how they affected in any way a person who wanted to do good for there religion. For example men and women not being able to eat and drinker keep ointments in vessels of gold or silver.
