The forth pillar of faith is referred to as Sawm. From sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan adult Muslim’s are expected to partake in fasting. This means they mustn’t eat, drink, smoke or have sexual intercourse within the hours of daylight. Instead one should take the time to prayer reflect or meditate. Participating in fasting Muslim’s learns the traits of self-control, sympathy and discipline. These are important qualities for all Muslims to have, as the principal belief of Al-Akhira is that we humans, despite God’s will, have the freedom of choice. This way Muslim’s are able to exercise this belief during fasting. Ramadan is the celebration of the first revelation of the Qur’an given directly through the prophet Muhammad, therefore it is a sacred time of special significance to all Muslim’s. Kutubu’llah is the name given to the principal belief in God’s revelation to humans in holy books. The breaking of the fast is a significant part of Sawm, it is the time after sunset when Muslims can enjoy their achievement in fasting. Gathering together among friends and family they may share and light meal and celebrate their self-control and strength throughout the day. This small act highlights
Religion is that which grows out of, and gives expression to, experience of the holy in its various aspects. (Rudolf Otto)
5. What does Martin Ruel say about the concept of belief in the study of religion?
Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism are religions that developed in the East. Although each of these religions possess characteristics unique to itself, they share one thing in common in that they are all religions. Their classification as religions depend on the definition of the word: religion. Webster's Dictionary defines religion as “The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due.” Frederick Streng's attempt to define religion as, “a process whereby people reach beyond themselves to connect with the true and
Religion is constructed on faith and belief of an individual even though it is the individual choice to follow it or not. It has stirred a lot of debates for years; those who are trying to prove that God exists throughout history and follow to modern day. While, those who are atheist are trying to prove their point of God does not exist. There are still more and more theories and debate over the subject of religious view. It is a matter of theism versus atheism; new and old philosophers have joined the debate and all with different sides to another philosopher’s theory or view on the matter. In this paper, I will attempt to illustrate the reasons given by Louis Pojman of why religion is good or bad, as well as evaluating Bertrand Russell argument about religion. This can define the meaning of life and the creation of life as we know it. It can change views or switch sides for there is always another explanation to exactly what religion is all about and having a superior ruler that created all.
Ramadan: Celebrates the gift of the Qur 'an. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims must fast between sunrise and sunset.
Known as the father of modern liberal theology, Friedrich Schleiermacher was a German theologian, philosopher and biblical scholar who focused his attention on the nature of religious experience from the viewpoint of the individual and human nature itself (Mariña 3). Influenced by German Romanticism, Schleiermacher attempted to reconcile the criticisms of the Enlightenment with traditional Protestant Christianity (Crouter 261). By doing so, he abandoned the pietistic Moravian theology that had failed to satisfy his increasing doubts and he adopted the rational spirit of Christian Wolff and Johann Salomo Semler. He then became acquainted with the techniques of historical criticism of the New Testament and of Johann Augustus Eberhard, from whom he acquired a love of the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. As a result, he began applying ideas from the Greek philosophers to a reconstruction of Immanuel Kant’s system (Mariña 3). On this basis, this essay articulate Friedrich Schleiermacher’s understanding of religion and its relationship to Christianity as described in Speech I: Defense and Speech II: The Nature of Religion of his work On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers. The essay will explore Schleiermacher’s rejection of various views of religion held by the despisers, explain his identification of the true religion with feeling and describe his view of the relationship between religion and Christianity.

He remarks that the external principles and practices of true religion may differ widely. However, he affirms that all outer forms of religion spring from the inward experience (102). He also asserts that the pious feelings generating such different outward forms are themselves dissimilar (50). Thus, for Schleiermacher, Christianity is but one authentic grouping of piety, which in itself is very diverse (51). However, despite such apparent religious balance, Schleiermacher maintains that Christianity is the supreme of all religions and visualizes all other religions as incorporated under its support at some time in the forthcoming (108). Furthermore, Schleiermacher sustains that doctrine is the necessary and inseparable outcome of inward piety. However, he is swift to process that such knowledge is but a faulty image of piety, and may change depending on the cultural-historical stance of individuals and varying abilities of imagination (17, 98). Thus, for Schleiermacher, doctrinal variety must be adopted. While Christians may try to outline heresy, skeptics must not be pursued for they often depict the effective energy of modern theology (109-110). In addition, Schleiermacher acknowledges that conceiving God as personal is “an almost absolute necessity for the highest stage of piety,” but he is quick to point out the fragility of such conception (116).
Islam teaches that there will be a day of judgment when all humans will be divided between the eternal destinations of Paradise and Hell. Human suffering is viewed as a result of sin or a test. Suffering tests belief and it believed that a true Muslim will remain faithful through the trials of life. Suffering also reveals the hidden self to God and is built into existence so that God may see who is truly righteous. Suffering is also a painful result of sin and is associated with unbelief. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when Muslims fast during daylight hours. Ramadan is important because the Qur’an was revealed during this month, the gates of Heaven are open and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained up
Fasting: Fasting, or Saum, is an important part of Islam. During the lunar month of Ramadan, Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset. Fasting is supposed to help bring a Muslim closer to Allah and instil discipline.
Each of the four Gospels contains points in ecclesiology. In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last instruction to the Apostles is to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching people (Matthew 28:19-20). For Jesus’ mission to continue and for his Church to grow, discipleship is necessary. Discipleship is a prominent theme in all four Gospels, for purposes of this essay, only the Gospels of John and Luke-Acts will be analyzed. The similarities regarding discipleship in these Gospels include images of the net and fishing, and the sheep/shepherd/sheepfold. The differences include the preparing of the Twelve to carry on Jesus' ministry in Luke, and service to the community and passing of authority in John's Gospel.
As with any act of worship, fasting requires obedience and submission to Allah’s commands through the highest degree of commitment and sincerity. Every year during the month of Ramadan (the 9th month of the lunar calendar), Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from three key human needs – food, drink and sexual relations. One should also abstain from all sinful actions.
Religion can be the subject of theoretical question, as we saw with William James and John Hick. The conclusion that mystical experiences led to spiritual belief and the portrayal of religion as a vehicle of self-transformation both follow logically from the notion we discussed of religion. While it
Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar calendar and is consider one of the 5 pillars of Islam-five activities that shape a Muslim’s life. This holy month unite all Muslims in fasting, worship and celebration. Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar calendar and this year it felt on June 5th and ended July 5th. Ramadan begins with a new moon sighting marking the start of the ninth month in Islamic calendar. Each month start when the lunar crescent is first seen by human observer’s eye. Although, some Muslim depend of a local sighting of the moon, whereas others depend on sighting by authorities somewhere in the Muslim world. Once it is confirm that the moon is been seen, we start preparing for the fasting. Before you start fasting, you should have the intention that your action is undertaken in obedience to God in response to his command and out of love for him. We start the nightly prayers and make lots of different foods to eat early in the morning before sunrise. After this time no food or drink is allowed.
