Understanding Islam

THE BASICS OF FAITH Belief in: One God (Allah) Prophet-hood Divine Books Afterlife and Divine Beings (Angels) Creation The Day of Judgment Virtually identical to Judaism and Christianity in principles

ALLAH – ONE GOD Allah is the Arabic name for God used by Muslims of the world as well as Arab Christians. God is seen as: immaterial and invisible or unseen anthropomorphic Omnipotent and infinite A dreadful, perfect force compassionate and merciful

PROPHETS AND SCRIPTURES A Prophet is a messenger of God (Allah) Muhammad is considered the final or ultimate prophet or God’s official spokesman PROPHETS: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Ishaq, Jacob (Israel), Joseph, Benjamin, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Zakareyya, John, Jesus, and Muhammad (the seal of the prophets). HOLY BOOKS: Torah Zabur (Psalms), Injeel (Gospel), Quran (KORAN or Bible of Islam)

PROPHET MUHAMMAD Descendant of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham. Born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in the year 570 C.E. Received first revelation at the age 40 through angel Gabriel. Died in the year 632 C.E, after preaching Islam for 23 years. Credited for “creating” the Koran over 23 years after receiving revelations from Allah

QURAN: THE HOLY BOOK 23 Years of Revelations ( C.E.) 114 Chapters; One Chapter, Multiple Revelations a continuation of the Old and New Testaments ( God’s earlier revelations) “We made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel [and] you have nothing of guidance until you observe the Torah and the Gospel “(5:70,68)

FORMS OF WORSHIP Prayers (Salah) Five Daily Prayers from Dawn to Late Evening regulate a Muslim’s day Charity (Zakat) Required 2.5% charity on yearly savings Fasting ( Ramadan) Ramadan is 9th month in Islamic Lunar calendar Daily dawn to sunset fast for 29/30 days (no food or drink) Pilgrimage (Hajj) Pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca) once in life time for able Muslims About 2-3 million Muslims perform Hajj each year from all over the world.

HUMAN RIGHTS IN ISLAM Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "No Arab has any superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab. Nor does a white man have any superiority over a black man, or the black man any superiority over the white man. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was created from clay"

JUSTICE IN ISLAM The Holy Quran says: "Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression" (5:2). "And do not let ill-will towards any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just; that is nearest to heedfulness" (5:8).

Why do these branches clash? 3. What are the 5 Pillar of Islam? Why are they important? 4. What does the Koran teach about women and marriage?How have these teachings been manipulated?
