When Will My Reflection...I Don't Know All the Words but I'll Reflect Now..

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmAUibsLT-vRdDRKQUN1dmNOLTFfYVI5X0wyV01TWXc#gid=0


I noticed that my essays are terrible when I don't have a good thesis and when I don't answer the question. (This makes perfect sense.) For compare and contrasts, I've also noticed that I can remember to analyze and make direct comparisons but never do either together.  For change over time, I think the most difficult is remembering both parts and the global context.  I think for both, I can get some evidence to support my thesis.  Also for both, I just give up on expanded core.  For compare and contrast, I attempt to include global context for the extra points but I don't really bother for change over time essays.

Quran Teachings

The Quran's teachings are basically telling the followers or Islam what they should do and what they must be. The Quran also mentions how Allah should always be praised and how he should not be forgotten.  The relationship between Allah and human beings is that the humans follow him and he will reward them if they follow him with lots of devotion. 
Compared to Zoroastrians, Muslims must follow a set guideline, Zoroastrians followed moderation and did not have any "rules." Zoroastrians also followed other gods in addition to Ahura Mazda.  The Quran says "You alone we worship, and to You alone turn for help" which means they can only believe in Allah and no other gods.  When comparing Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three say that they should only follow one God and one God only. 
Jews, Christians and Muslims all have something that tell them how they should behave and what they should be.  There are the Ten Commandments for Jews and Christians and the Five Pillars for Muslims.  The three also have some form of a judgement day just like Zoroastrianism. But the Quran and its teachings are very specific and strict compared to that of the other three religions.
