Cosmos (what they believe in)
Most Tuareg are Muslims.
But their traditional belief system and rituals overlap with Islam. Unlike
women in many other Islamic societies, most Tuareg women do not wear veils in
public. They may also independently inherit property and begin the process leading
to a divorce. Islamic holy men, called marabouts, are believed to possess a special
power of blessing, called al
baraka. They educate children
in verses from the Koran and they officiate at ceremonies marking rites of
passage and Muslim holidays.
