How do Muslims Mark the stages of life?

Muslims mark the stages of life with specific religious rituals and celebrations. At birth, the adhan (call to prayer) is whispered into the newborn's ear, and the aqeeqah ceremony, involving the sacrifice of an animal, is performed to celebrate and welcome the child. During puberty, the individual is encouraged to embrace their religious responsibilities, including daily prayers and fasting. Key life events such as marriage are celebrated with a nikah ceremony, while death is marked by a funeral prayer and burial, emphasizing the significance of community and faith throughout life.
