Hello there! There is no specific ritual practised by all Muslims, to celebrate or mark the coming of age. This is because the Qur'an does not say anything in this regard: http://www.iiie.net/Questions/ComingOfAge.html Perhaps the nearest equivalent would be when a child of either gender reaches puberty: It then becomes compulsory for them to perform Salat (the daily prayers). See question 2 on the following page: http://www.ukim.org/imam.asp?CatID=2 I hope this answers your question! If anything's unclear, though, please do not hesitate to use the "request clarification" feature before rating this answer. Regards, --seizer Search strategy: Muslim "coming of age" Islamic "coming of age" Islam "rite of passage" |
