Defeated Muslim Ummah

“O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.” (Quran 5:67) Prophet Muhammad PBUH, was born to a branch of Quraish family. He was born to Abdullah Ibn Abd Al-Muttalib and Amna Bint Wahab in the year 570 C. He received his “call” which is the message from God carried by the angel Gabriel to deliver the truth about God to his people. Prophet Muhammad PBUH, died in the year 632 C due to fever after that the Umma was in the hands of the Caliphate, which was then passed

Not everyone around the globe has access to human rights. There are millions of people globally who do not have access to basic human needs. The stories “Humans of New York” and A Thousand Splendid Suns go further into why and how people’s rights are taken away in certain locations. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, we learn about two young women who have their human rights taken away due to religious beliefs. Due to those religious beliefs, dictators take control over the country. In “Humans of New York,” we hear about a refugee’s experience in being forced to go to war. Human rights violations are caused by dictatorship, government, and male superiority.

In Islam, God, grants human rights and therefore they can never be taken away or changed, for any reason. As a result, these concepts are part of the way Islamic individuals are portrayed in society. Every Muslim is required to accept them and recognize the people's right to have them enforced and obeyed. Islam allows complete freedom of thought and expression, provided that it does not involve spreading anything that is harmful to individuals and the society at large. The value of the community and society as a whole is greatly emphasized in Islamic traditions, as the common wealth of the society is important. This in turn reflects on society, because in Islamic culture, it is important to act in a lawful way as it is entrenched not only in their Muslim religion but in their general lifestyle as well. These factors greatly affect society because their customs, traditions and beliefs are embedded in their laws and individuals must act accordingly.

Islam: Empire of Faith is a pretty general documentary about a large history of Islam in such a short viewing time. Sometimes the moving picture media can have a different effect than the static reading media. I think this is a great counter to the normal textbook learning that occurs during class. While reading about the beginning Islam, I felt more of an oppression of Muhammad as he was trying to get his word of God out to the people around him. When he left Mecca it was not pleasant but it didn’t seem like he was going to die before he left. When he returned to Mecca with his followers it just seemed like he was a returning son, back with good news. When presented with the video evidence of the process, it seemed that his desire to let

Islamic societies also fail their people educationally. Islamic institutions inadequately fund education, or provide inadequate education. None of the 1800 universities in Muslim countries are named as one of the top 500 world universities.² In science and technology, the Islamic world lags significantly. Twenty Muslim countries combined contributed only 0.55% of recent scientific literature, while smaller Israel produced 0.89%.³ Korea recently generated 16,328 patents and the United States generated 1,145,914, while the top nine Muslim countries generated 370, many by foreigners.⁴

blight on society rather than a useful addition. Abdul presents controversial ideas and themes such as the discrimination that Muslims face in everyday life, the ‘expectation’ all Muslims are extremist, and that they are seen by some as ‘less than

Zeba Khan writes this article in response to the absence of Muslim Americans in politics and in an effort to remedy the issue. The author builds her argument and convinces her audience through the use of an anecdote, evidence and statistics, as well as rhetorical questioning and vivid language.

The author further mentions the potential threat that arises from the constant hatred posed on Muslims in America and vice versa. The youth have found themselves with their identity in attack and have been forced to political Islam so they can relate to it and feel they are part of something that unites themselves with other Muslims on a common

The current view of Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans has been misconstrued by the media leading to extreme contempt towards these groups of people. Most Arab Americans have been generalized as Muslim extremists or refugees, when in fact this is not the case. This paper will explain how these people became a “group of interest”, depict what kind of people make up the Arab American population, parallel refugees and terrorists to expose common misconceptions of Arab-Americans, explain the sects of Muslim religion and its values, and finally conclude with why this matters to the American education system and my own personal reflection on my research.

Political and Economic Rights - All human persons enjoy inalienable rights, which are political/legal [e.g. vote, free speech, migration] social/economic [e.g. food, shelter, work, education].

In the movie Islam of Faith Part 1, the narrator starts off with the translation of azan to highlight the strong words and the strength of faith.

Although Middle-East Politics Club numbers fewer than 10, my hope is that our little organization can help my high school community embrace Muslim-Americans in the same way Americans have embraced so many other ethnic and religious groups. Addressing the issue will not be easy. Meetings and discussion groups are taking place to explore the possible reasons why Americans have a deep-seeded hostility towards Muslims. Our ultimate goal is to stem the ever-increasing antagonism towards Muslims through education. As Helen Keller said in her essay Optimism, “The highest result of education is tolerance.”

Human rights are entitlements inherent to all human beings and they apply to everyone regardless of sex, religion, ethnic origin or any other status.

Islam is the religion that provides a complete code of life including social as well as personal spheres. Islam has been targeted by many stereotypes including extremism since last few decades. The reason behind these stereotypes are on some facts and to some extent widely propagated through media. Many people involved in criminal activities, get highlighted easily by media and catch the attention of general public if they are Muslims. A major role behind these stereotypes is played by the outcomes of the 9/11 attacks. Muslims have been targeted with stigmatization and other forms of racial discrimination. They have to face tight security at international airports. Employers have also been showing concerns or hesitation

the government and media. I believe that people running this country are Anti Islamic due to there view on things. Also this is a Zionist country, which is another reason that makes the media discriminate against the Muslim’s, due to the conflict with Palestine and other Muslim countries. The media has always portrayed Islam in a negative way. The reason the media is biased when it comes to Islam because they hate the Islamic structure and the beliefs. The majority of media conglomerate ownership is of people who
