Friday prayer; There were many questions that have gave me more knowledge about Islam and how everything is distinguished and run by the holy Quran; Friday is a special day of the week where it is holy for muslims. This prayer known as Jema’ah prayer is inherently bringing all the Muslim community together in honor of being holy and turning to God. This a way to show that one is committed to Islam. “The five daily prayers, and…
instigate a level of subversive power over the Javanese people. Moreover, the actions taken by the Dutch colonial authorities and scholars impacted the inter-relations and cohesiveness of local populations in Java and preyed on vulnerabilities amongst community groups and neighbors over what was perceived as a threat to their colonial authority. In fact, it can be argued that the Islamic threat from the Middle East, perceived by the Dutch authorities, was a result of agitation over the lack of…
The recent rise of Pan-Islamic fervor and radical identities due to the recent events involving global terrorism, underpin the importance of scholars to highlight the misperceptions of Islam as a unitary ideological entity whose beliefs and practices are one in the same. In fact, such beliefs come from a limited knowledge of historical information regarding Islam and its varied practices around the world. Islam does not have one flavor, but in truth is a diverse cohort of situated cultural,…
Good Aspects of Muslims Thesis: Besides all the terrorist attacks, not everything related to Muslims are evil and fatal. As a matter of fact, there are numerous advantages in their religion that are notable enough to refer. I. Introduction: To explain and introduce that the paper is written in three aspects. II. Strict and demanding rules: A. Strict rules of lifestyles: The consuming alcohol and drugs are not permitted B. Demands related to how the food is served and which is suitable for…
Nevertheless if you think again the violent terrorism acts can also built an unwanted question about Muslims and their belief. “According to the Quran” this is said as if that particular person clearly has knowledge of the Quran and then he is able to comment “they preach hate”. Therefore it just proves that terrorism has built this deadly lie in some people’s mind that it is unfortunately hard to remove. But Quran never provides with such teachings, then why this mess? Again in my opinion it…
front of the mosque there is a square entrance with two huge glass doors in the middle. On the top of entrance there is an image which states لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله (La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah). This saying is a common among Muslims, which translated means: “There is only one god and Muhammad is his messenger.” On the roof…
party of my community shall not cease fighting for the Truth— they shall be triumphant over their opponents” (Hadith, “Struggle”, 116), but only one sentence is not enough to demonstrate that Islam is radical. Actually, people have such misconception is because the meaning of Jihad is distorted. It should not be interpreted as “holy war”, but “a struggle for Allah” (Smart and Hecht, 115). This struggle is not necessarily a fight with weapons, but a defense of their own belief. Muslims are taught…
very sad that I have failed to deliver you with a clear explanation. Now, it has become my responsibility to explain my views and I hope Allah will enlighten you with wisdom. You have exercised a verse from the Quran for your Muslim friend for being a friend with a non-Muslim. But now you are experiencing the consequence by incurring enemy and ruined relationship. We know that Islam means peace and to understand verses like that will only cause contradiction with Islam. You have just seen a…
I put on a Hijab even though this garment is associated with the Muslim religion and I’m an African-American Christian. The next ten days of this experiment would change my outlook of this silk-like material. This in turn led to my discovery of racism and the understanding of what perhaps Muslims girls go through. What I know about the Qur’an is very little due to my lack of interest. A very close friend of mine who is Muslim once shared her account of her trip to the mall; while there people…
THE SCOPE OF MUSLIM WELFARE Introduction Islam highly emphasizes the concept of welfare in appreciating the true way of life and perfectly intertwined with the life of society, namely the concept of social responsibility among people whose caring attitude amongst each other as the sayings of Prophet .SAW which means: "Anyone who is not concerned over the affairs of the Muslims, then he was not among them. And anyone who on the morning of prioritizes things other than Allah, not from those people…
