2. The practices of indulgence was wrong in the intentions of getting money or goods from someone to tell them that they were sinful and the reconciliation didn't fully take away our sins it seems like early christians started getting greedy and wanted materialistic things instead of focusing on the spiritual part of our faith. Martin Luther objected to the indulgences because taking things from people to better there chance into heaven and not having to stay in purgatory as long was wrong because materialistic things do matter to God what matters in our faith is that we are faithful witnesses of christ.

3. The haji is a pilgrimage to Mecca the holiest of cities for muslims that must be fulfilled atleast once in the a muslims life.
