Taking a Look at Islam

At first, the history of Islam is connected to Mohamed’s life. Mohamed was born in to a wealthy merchant Clan, which is now Saudi Arabia. On the other hand Muslims thought Islam began with God. Mohamed was raised by his uncle, because his parents and grandparents passed away. Mohamed lived the life of a Quryash Merchant then later married a girl by the name of Khadija. Mohamed started hearing voices and though he was going mad. But Khadija thought differently and told Mohamed that he was the chosen one. Mohamed searched for the true faith of Judaism and Christianity. Mohamed isolated himself in to the mountains near Mecca for retreat and mediation. Gabriel the Angel told Mohamed to recite the Koran. The Koran was only originally recited and not written down in one volume until after Mohamed’s death. This has brought controversy over the authentic composition. Mohamed’s wife was the first to convert.

Let me start off by clarifying that this is not the personal site of Muhammad Ali Hasan. I am just an observer and wanted to acknowledge the work he is doing in the United States on behalf of Muslim Americans. People are often afraid of what they don't understand and Muhammad Ali Hasan is doing his best to clear up fears and misconceptions of what many believe the Muslim culture to be. From my experience many Americans do not understand the followers of Islam.

After watching the film ‘Close Up’, I have learned about the characteristic of Mercy playing a large role in the Islamic community, even with people who are not Islam. This paper is going to look at the movie and the way mercy is shown by some of the characters, as well as how Sabzian existential crisis played a big part in his crime, and the Judge's compassion towards that crisis.

As the Islamic religion rose, both the Persian, and Eastern Roman Empire began to collapse. In the seventh and eighth century, the rise of Islamic religion began to quickly move to rule the territories, taking over to create what is now a very important change in Islamic history. The rise of Islam began in the Arabian desert, showing great change for Islam as a religion, as well as the nature of the Islamic empire, but eventually this great rise began to collapse. The events that took place, is considered to be one of the quickest and affecting movements in history. As the movement took place, the Islam introduced a powerful political system, as well as the Islamic beliefs of faith. This was a genius and powerful take over that would rise for a while, until the rise eventually fell into the hands of the Mongols. The growth of the Islamic world changed history forever; one of the biggest steps that made Islam what it is today.

The word Islam itself means submission to Allah or to be enslaved to Allah. Muslims believe that Allah, and only Allah, is worthy to be worship. They believe that He created everything and sustains all things. Their relationship with

Again, Christianity and Islam differ in some fundamental and significant ways. Another example of these differences is the concept of sin which is not as dominant in Islam as it is in Christianity. In other words, sin is a minor issue in Islam. As an illustration, Muhammad states that if someone does not sin, Allah will wipe out that person and replaced by someone else who will be willing and capable of sinning (Muslim, Vol. 4, Book 37, Hadith No. 6622 & 6621). Thus, it is necessary, even an obligation for Muslims to sin.

From 610 to 750 C.E., Bedouins and other Arabian tribes began to settle in the Arabian Peninsula, mainly in Medina and Mecca. Like many other new and unorganized ancient civilizations, the Bedouins worshiped many gods without a strong, centralized government in the hope of making their nation stronger, leading to tribal warfare and lack of control. When an Arabian prophet named Muhammad came to the people, he taught many new things about this holy god named Allah and a promising way of life if you followed his way. This caused many people to follow Muhammad and helped rapidly spread this religion called Islam. The use of the Qur’an and the power of Allah helped Islam expand. Also, the Muslims had control of Mecca, which allowed them to spread their culture and ideas to people rapidly around the world.

Discuss how Islam is a quest to be faithful to the transcendent, both directly and through social engagement

Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion. It was established by muhammad in the seventh century. That is of the opinion that there is one god. This means that they believe in the actuality of only one god that created the world, he is all-powerful and intercedes in the world. The Abrahamic beliefs are known as Abrahamism. They are a group of Semitic-developed religious societies that hold lineage from the practice of the prehistoric Israelites and respect the God of Abram. Every one of its instructions and faith are found in the Qur'an (spelled as well as Quran or Koran). The Quran is Islam's central scripture,muslims believe this to be god’s revelation.

Apart from Christianity, Islam and Judaism are two of the most influential religions in the world, particularly in the Middle East. Although Judaism is not as large as Islam, it has impacted on the world in a profound manner. While it’s quite evident that both Islam and Judaism appear to be having conflicting differences in terms of their doctrines, they are both know as Abrahamic religions because they share a common origin in the Middle East through Abraham in the Hebrew Bible. Nevertheless, Judaism is often considered to be the oldest of all the Abrahamic religions.

In America today, under current political regimes, there is an ever-growing oppression towards Muslims. This can be seen in attempted policies that aim to keep people of Islamic nations from entering the United States, as well as a general sense of fear and hatred towards its people. Why? At the very basis of Islamic teachings their messenger, Muhammad, instituted the Medina Document, one that identified Christians and other monotheists groups such as Jews, as “sister” religions and “People of the Book.” Although there is a somewhat respectful view of Christians from the perspective of Muslims, this view does not seem to hold true for the other side. I believe that if we educated children in the US about Islam’s core beliefs, practices

Islam - A Highly Controversial Sensitive Issue in Today's World: Examination of Misconceptions and Beliefs

The word Islam is literally translated to "voluntary submission to the Will of God." It is the third monotheistic religion after Judaism and Christianity. The followers of Islam are called Muslims and the Holy Book of the Islamic faith is the Holy Quran. Every Muslim is obliged to believe in what is called Tauheed (Oness of Allah) and the faith in the last and final messenger of Allah, Muhammad (pbuh). Any person who rejects these two fundamentals of the Islamic faith is considered a non-believer.
