Islam, Religion Of Equality

“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

The early history of Islam begins with the life of Prophet Mohammad. Muhammad's life is one of the most interesting topics in the history of humanity and has been covered on several fronts of analysis. Because Mohammed is one of the most influential figures in the world, his life and thoughts have been debated for centuries and have generated numerous clashes between his supporters and opponents. Muslims believe that he was the last and final Messenger of God that was sent to humanity. He was sent to complete the mission of the previous Messengers of calling people to believe in God and follow the guidance and teachings of God (Edgar p. 181-185).

There are hundreds of thousands of religions all over the world. Some of them we know about and some of them we don’t. Usually, one thing that most religions have in common is a founder or the head figure of the religion that any particular religion revolves around. This one person is the teacher and everyone else is the follower. Two major religions that are still extremely active in today’s world are Christianity and Islam. These two religions are very similar in many ways, yet unique in their own right. One similarity is their belief in God, and one difference is who the messenger is. Christian’s believe it is Jesus, who is the son of God, and

As we all are aware of the many different forms of religion around the world, but are mostly only familiar with the faith that we were raised or chose to practice. Out of all forms of faiths there are three that are most popular, which are Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic. According to pbs.org, all “three were born in the Middle East and are all” monotheist religions. All in which consider Abraham “to be the first Jew” and “their first prophet” (pbs.org). Like most individuals we have heard of all three and may know a little bit about each, and some may not. In this essay I will compare and contrast Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic.

Islam: This Arabic word is “derived from the word peace, purity and obedience” , peace with Allah and being committed to abide by the teachings and guidance of Him Almighty. Muslims believe that Allah (God) is the source of all purity and goodness and in the religious sense; Islam is the submission to the will of Allah. Islam also implicates living in peace within yourself and with other people in the world. Islam is the message of Allah, which is received by all His Prophets who appeared in any part of the world to all people through the history. A person who follows Islam is called a Muslim “this is an Arabic word means that a person is submitting to the will of Allah” . A Muslim believes that Allah’s messages included words His words and can never be changed. They were collected together to form the Muslims’ holy book, which is called the Qur’an.

As of today, the world’s two largest religions Christianity and Islam share an estimated 3.6 billion members, more than half of the world’s population. On the surface, they appear to have almost nothing in common, however, as one goes beyond the surface and examines the other factors such as the rituals, beliefs, ethics, founders, and convictions, the two religions share many similarities. However, in order to truly see and understand these similarities and differences, one must date back to the rise and birth of Christianity and Islam.

Islam just like Christianity and Judaism is an Abrahamic faith, monotheistic, and it is also a universalizing religion. Although they all have those in common Islam differs in many different ways. For instance, Islam has the five pillars of faith that they practice, and a man named Muhammad started the religion because he received revelations from God. Islam also effects lots of cultures, including mine. Islam effects my culture, for example, through their dialects and vocabulary that are now used in daily conversations. Globalization effects Islam in the way that people around the world view them. Mostly, this opinion of them comes from major events; like 9/11. Islam, which shares many similar qualities with other religions is also unique in its way of life and impact on the world.

The two largest religions in the world, Christianity and Islam, were implemented by two of religions most powerful leaders, Jesus and Muhammad. Without question, both Jesus and Muhammad have affected humanity powerfully. As religious leaders both men laid down the principles upon which Christianity and Islam are founded yet today. However, while Jesus performed miracles and arose from the dead, thus proving to his followers he was God, Muhammad performed no such feats, and made no such claims. In fact, Muhammad’s only claim was that he was the last prophet sent from God.

The three Holy Books, the Old Testament, the Holy Bible, and the Quran are a word from God, yet, the followers of these books claim to have somewhat different beliefs and practices. Although the three books come from the same Creator, the content in them is often contradictory. One contradiction seen in the Bible and Quran is about Jesus Christ. The Bible states explicitly that Jesus is the Son of God, he was resurrected and will return. (Mathhew) On the other hand, in the Quran Jesus is referred as the Son of Mary (5:110,114,116), the crucifixion of Jesus is denied in the Quran (4:156-159) and it is written that he was no more than a messenger of God (4:171). Despite these differences, similar themes and motifs are seen in the Holy Books. This essay will look at the themes of persecution and perseverance in the Old Testament, the Bible and The Quran and will argue that the

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a

Before our departure, Luke and I asked a Suleyman a few questions regarding the similarities between Islam and Christianity. Thanks to our readings, Luke and I knew that Islam doesn’t deny the existence of Jesus, rather Islam simply doesn’t regard Jesus as the one and final prophet. Speaking with a practicing Muslim added depth to my understanding of the religion. What struck me most in our conversation was Suleyman’s view of Jesus as he mentioned, “If one does not believe in Jesus, they are not Muslim.” It helped reaffirm the numerous similarities between the two

As "final," Islam is God's final revelation of prophetic religion, in fulfillment of all that had preceded. Moses was given the Law; David was given the Psalms; Jesus was given the Gospel. Judaism offers God's message of justice, and Christianity proclaims the love of God. To Mohammed (570-632 A.D.; spelled in a variety of ways) the God of

What do women and Islam have in common? Besides the stereotyped images that each suffers from individually, the status of women in Islam is one of the most extremely misunderstood and incorrectly portrayed things in western society. We can investigate why this is so later. First, a brief introduction to the actual status of women in Islam is in order.

The freedom of religion is when a person express their views and emotions and have an opinion of their own about their faith and beliefs when it comes to religion without interference of the government.I have decided to touch on the freedom of religion of the burqa.
