The artist choice of colors was polychromatic with low key values, but she also used bold and vivid colors which helps to highlight objects that are meant to stand out and grab the viewers’ attention.

The Sunni Creed of Adud al-Din-Iji and the Zaydi creed of Imam al-Mutawakkil have some major fundamental differences, as you may expect since both come from opposite spectrums of Islam; but, after careful analysis, one may be surprised to find that both creeds hold a fair amount of similarities. In this essay, I plan to compare and contrast the Sunni creed and Zayid creed by showing you evidence of the significant similarities and differences in these two short texts. Even though one branch may have something that the other may not have, one can still see that both creeds of Islam provide the instructions and general beliefs of how a Muslim must act, how God is the most powerful. The biggest

Paper 4 Islam changed in many ways over time, and these alterations led to one of the most evolved, developed, and influential religions to this day. Islam materialized in 610 B.C by the prophet Muhammad, a boy raised by an uncle in Mecca since his parents passed early in his childhood. He matured and married at the age of twenty-five and bore six children. As he grew older he retreated into the Arid Mountains to meditate daily and find peace within himself.

in Al-Ghazal). Interpretations of the Qur’an also associate the gaining of knowledge with comprehension of religion (Rosenthal 29). “Islamic philosophy was … concerned with the basic issue of the harmony between human reasoning and the revelations provided to the Muslims in the holy Qur’an” (Al-Ghazal). This emphasis coupled with a lack of scientific censorship by Islam, provided an impetus for the study of many branches of science, including medicine (Al-Ghazal).

Everyone faces tasks or challenges in life at one point or another. Whether you succeed or fail trying to accomplish these tasks is all determined by the way you prepare for the journey. Keep in mind that every journey is different and would require different materials prior to leaving. That is why it is critical to put in a lot of thought into your preparation. Mowat’s task was a bit more dangerous than one we would normally face. The way he prepares for it is the complete opposite of what we’d expect. Mowat is sent out to observe wolves due to the decrease in population in caribou.

Mevlana Jalal al- Din Rumi is one of the most influential Islamic mystics of all times. It is no surprise that even seven hundred years after his death; he remains to be the best selling poet in North America. His poetry reflects the teachings of Islam and his opinions on various matters such as faith, prayer, love, free will etc. are assembled in a book called “The signs of the Unseen”. Occasionally, commentators dissociate Rumi poetry’s from Islam but the fact is that Rumi’s entire writings are inspired from the Quran and sayings of Prophet (PBUH) and represent the essence of Islam.

The understanding and interpretations of sacred texts have been the basis for many religious discussions and arguments. From each person practicing a certain religion, they have their own opinions and interpretations that may differ from others. With interpretations of sacred texts, there has also been confusion as to what many word or phrases with the intended meaning of words that have many meanings or could have changed. The religions of Islam and Christianity both are classified as one of the Abrahamic religions or faiths, meaning both traces their ancestral history back to Abraham and are sternly monotheistic. Between these two religions there and many similarities that links together with the characteristics of the Abrahamic religion. Islam and Christianity identifies Jesus as a prophet born through a virgin birth, who would eventually return to earth again. Muslims and Christians hold the belief that God provided humans with a guide for living. And lastly, the idea of sin is very important within both of these religions, however what sin is and how it is handled within each practice is one of the main factors that sets the two apart. Islam believes that Christians interpreted the message of Jesus wrong and therefore the message is corrupt. In this paper I will compare the theological interpretations of the Christian Bible and the Muslim’s Quran. I will argue that these differences between the two interpretations of the Quran and the Bible play a significant role in

The book that we have chosen to review is titled “Lost History, the Enduring Legacy of Muslim Scientists, Thinkers and Artists”. The author of the book is Michael Hamilton Morgan.

Maimonides, a Jewish philosopher and Rabbinic scholar, is one of the most prolific and influential figures in the history of Rabbinate Judaism and Torah Scholarship. Deeply embedded in Islam culture, Maimonides was well respect in Islam tradition, however, he rejected the Koran’s notion of hierarchical leadership by claiming that no prophet, including Muhammad, would ever surpass or achieve what Moses had in his prophecy. Therefore, while Maimonides did not reject Muhammad as a prophet, he did respond to the Islamic view of Moses as subordinate to Muhammad by framing Moses as the paradigm prophet. Thus, in contrast to the Koran, Maimonides viewed Moses as the ultimate philosopher to achieve prophecy in a metaphysical world. Therefore, while Maimonides takes up the same Muslim conversation, he further identifies with rabbinic tradition. Such distinctions and theological overlaps of Moses essentially raise issues of superiority and prophecy in Jewish and Muslim traditions.

The understanding and explanation of God and who He is, is a task that many philosophical and religious scholars have tried without much success. This is because questions keep arising. Several approaches have been used by scholars and philosopher to explain about God. Even so, most of these attempts to teach about God encompass around his manifestation since none describes his physical appearance. Additionally, in the Biblical texts as well as the Quran where Bible characters have seen God, they have often used personifications to explain their encounter with God. In this discussion, the study looks at understanding God as a manifestation of light. Moreover, the study also looks at how impossible it is to understand God. The entire review will be based on the Al-Ghazali’s statement that, "So glory be to Him who is hidden from creatures through the intensity of His manifestation and veiled from them because of the radiance of His light!" (I.65, p. 24 in our PDF). From this statement, the study proves three things: God is manifestation since he can only be described as such. God is light since He cannot be seen through human understanding (eyes). And God is intensely manifested to the point that He is hidden because His reality cannot be comprehended through human knowledge.
