Comparative study of MBC and SA
The role of religion in Massachusetts Bay Colony and Saudi Arabia is practically very similar. In the MBC the puritans living there were punished if they would go against the rules or regulations of the religion or basically anything. Similarly in Saudi Arabia if women don’t follow the rules of this place they can easily get punished according to there misdeed.
Later on, in about 1630 the puritan colonist left England to go to Massachusetts hoping for having freedom and practicing there religion freely. For that the puritans made a covenant with God and agreed to build an ideal Christian community. In the same way Non Muslim people who have entered Saudi Arabia have agreed that they will respect and value the Muslim religion called Islam. In addition the puritans used to hear a sermon every Sunday. Likewise, the people living in SA hear a prayer call every day for five times.
In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi women are expected to stay at home and run the house holds, respects there husbands and have children. Similarly that is what happened in the MBC. When women would have children, they were assumed to teach there children the Bible. Over here in SA parents are supposed to teach there children the Qur’an.
As for the Differences in MBC the popes and people working at the Church were supposed to elect leaders as it was the puritan’s belief that it is God’s “elect”. The most obvious difference is that there are actually no Churches in SA so there is no possible way for popes to elect in SA.
Women in the MBC were not forced to wear any kind of special clothing to cover them as for in SA it is necessary for women to wear an Abbaya no regardless of where they are going. There were no classes of people in Massachusetts but as a matter of fact there are status and classes of poor and rich all over SA.
Here I have explained enough examples of the differences and similarities between SA & MBC
