When a couple marries, they live with the bride's family for two years then move into their own newly built house. Most of the Runga accepted Islam around the seventeenth century. According to Islam, Allah is viewed as the sole creator and restorer of the world. Muslims teach that man's purpose is to submit to the will of Allah as revealed through the Koran, their holy book. They believe that Allah revealed the messages of the Koran to the prophet Mohammed.
Mysticism plays a large role in Muslim life.
Through Sufism , Muslims seek the truth of divine life and knowledge through a personal experience with Allah. This is achieved by repentance, meditation, spiritual changes, and ritual prayers. Muslims are expected to follow certain moral standards. The Runga have no Christian resources in their own language available to them, and no missions agencies are currently working among them. There is a great need for the Bible to be translated into their native tongue and for Christian broadcasts to be made available to them.
