The Holy Book Of Islam

The main reason because of which religions are saved, and passed on from one generation to another is the book. Holy books are the sets of ancient story mentioning the rules, laws, restrictions, and reflect the existence of gods. The holy book of Hindus is The Vedas, and the holy book of Christians is The Bible.

The religion of Islam is based on the prophet Mohammad ibn-Abdullah born in Mecca around A.D.570 (Braswell, 11). “He served the Muslin community as a prophet, political and economic leader, and a commander –in –chief of his warriors” (Braswell, 19). In Islamic terms, Mohammad means, “the much praised one” and in Moslem it means “submission one”. It educates their followers that there is only one god and it is through their faith and conduct that they will go to a heaven or paradise after their death. Islam gives people principles and encourages unity (Crites, 2011). Mohammad's Islamic teachings manifested over the years. He would take trips into the

Islam is a religion which elucidates the way of life and is the second largest religion after Christianity, with approximately one-fifth of the world 's population and is currently the fastest growing religion. Muslims are existent all around the world and come from diverse nationalities, cultures and races. However, Islam instills that all people are principally equal no matter the differences (colour, class, culture, etc.) as long as they are peaceful and law-abiding citizens. The behaviour of particular erroneous groups or individuals outside mainstream Islam cannot be accredited to Islamic beliefs and practices as correspondingly hostility in North Ireland or illegal mafia activities being attributed

The Umayyads started out as one of the elite clans of Mecca who at first rejected Muhammad’s divine revelations (Kishlansky, Geary and O'Brien). However, Muhammad utilized his resources and quickly grew a strong following, organizing them into the Umma, an Islamic family “that transcended the old bonds of tribe and clan” (Kishlansky, Geary and O'Brien). As his support proliferated, his opposition dwindled and increasingly converted to Islam. In 629, with 10,000 warriors at his command, Muhammad marched onto Mecca and quickly conquered it with few casualties. The elite Meccan clans—the Umayya among them—were swiftly rehabilitated into the Umma, much to the chagrin of Muhammad’s earliest followers.

After reading this excerpt, I discovered that there was also theological debates within the Muslim community (Hillenbrand, 171). While in class, we had learned about a divide in the Muslim community; this divide is between two different groups, the Shi‘ites and the Sunnis. Although there is a divide between these two groups, the Shi‘ites and the Sunnis both agree on the fact that Allah is the one true God in the Islamic faith. Furthermore, these two groups also believe that Muhammad was the messenger of God. Unfortunately, these two groups have opposing theories on the rightful successor to the prophet Muhammad. The Shi‘ites feel that Muhammad’s successor should be someone from his bloodline; therefore, the Shi‘ites sought leadership from Muhammad's closest male relative, his cousin Ali ibn Abu Talib. Conversely, the Sunnis felt that a caliphate or religious leader should be elected by the Islamic community as his successor and sought leadership from the rightly guided caliphate, Abu

Muhhamad became the prophet of Islam having several visits from an angel. As Muhammad was reaching his late thirties, he would visit a cave on Mount Hira. Muhammad would visit the cave often because he would use it as an escape from the world. In 610 Muhammad reached his forties.

The Islam religion stretches from many borders and inside those borders are many diverse cultures.

On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist group, orchestrated an attack on the United States. Concluding in thousands of deaths and injuries; emotional distress and fear in all the civilians of the United States. Hijacked airplanes were crashed into the Twin Towers, an empty field in Pennsylvania and right outside the Washington D.C. Pentagon. These inhuman actions contradict the true aspects of the Islamic religion. The religion preaches: equality, love, peace, mercy, righteousness, morality, justice, sincerity, tolerance, truth and forgiveness. Additionally, the Qur’an wished for the followers to behave in a human and civilized matter. The Qur 'an, the holy book of Islam, addresses the knowledge that humanity is imperfect and will sin, but that is where the aspect of forgiveness comes in. Although the true meaning of Islam, many uneducated civilians discriminated all Muslims for their choice of religion and the destruction of 9/11. Resulting in many adversities being force upon the Muslim population in the United States.

Many people Muslims as well as non-Muslims have written much about The Holy Qur’an. Their topics vary and opinions differ depending on the ideas on stage. Fazlur Rahman 's ideas on the major themes of the Qur’an are a reflective writing of God’s revelation and intention of human as in the religious text of the Qur’an. The chapters emphasize more on the conduct of man (in this case human being); social and moral. It is a descriptive discussion of the world, and how things have been schemed systematically. Rahman 's book is one of the major writings of Islamic faith, which promotes the beauty of the ideas in the Qur’an as the main constitution of the religion.

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
