Session 16, Biography of Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq (ra) Muhammad Shameem
Abu Bakr faced opposition after becoming Caliph from tribes who refused to pay zakat and from false prophets who had emerged. Umar questioned Abu Bakr's plan to fight those refusing zakat due to a hadith about fighting non-believers. However, Abu Bakr argued that zakat was obligatory and he would not allow changes to the religion. He mobilized the Muslims and increased defenses in Medina. The apostates' initial attack on Medina failed, encouraging many to submit by paying zakat, while Abu Bakr sent out armies to subdue remaining opposition.
This document provides an overview of basic Islamic beliefs and practices. It discusses that Muslims believe in one God named Allah, and that they must practice the five pillars of faith: declaring faith in God and the Prophet Muhammad, praying five times a day, giving charity, fasting during Ramadan, and making a pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetime. The document also outlines Islamic views on prophets, holy books, justice, relations with non-Muslims, and quotes from the Quran about various topics.

The five pillars of Islam are Shahadah (declaration of faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Shahadah affirms belief in one God and that Muhammad is his prophet. Salah consists of ritual prayers performed five times daily. Zakat requires Muslims to donate 2.5% of their wealth to charity annually. Sawm means fasting from dawn to dusk during Ramadan. Hajj is a pilgrimage all Muslims must make once in their lifetime, if able.

1. Kalima-e-Shahadat (declaration of faith) - declaring there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.
2. Salat (prayer) - the obligatory five daily prayers while facing Mecca, including standing, bowing, and prostrating.
3. Zakat (charity) - giving 2.5% of one's wealth to the poor annually.

The Prophet Muhammad and early Muslims faced increasing persecution in Mecca from the Quraysh tribe. As Islam spread in Medina, it became necessary for the Prophet and Muslims to migrate (hijra) from Mecca to Medina for safety. The Prophet Muhammad tasked Imam Ali with sleeping in his bed to disguise his departure, then traveled with Abu Bakr to a cave where they hid from pursuers. After three days, they safely arrived in Medina and established the first mosque of Islam.
The Shahadah is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is the declaration of faith that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. Reciting the Shahadah is the basic requirement to become a Muslim. It expresses the core Islamic beliefs and can be found throughout Muslim daily life, including in the call to prayer and as the first and last words for newborns and the dying.

Sufism is a mystical Islamic movement whose beliefs and practices differ in significant ways from mainstream Islam. Followers of Sufism are highly devoted to their spiritual guides (sheikhs) and strive for closeness to God through mystical practices like chanting, dancing, and music. However, some Sufi teachings and beliefs contradict core Islamic doctrines like tawheed (God's oneness) and risk associating partners with God. Mainstream Muslims see Sufism's deviations from Islam's clear theological foundations and Prophet Muhammad's teachings as problematic.
This document provides an introduction and table of contents to a book critiquing Sufism. It summarizes that Sufism developed from mixing Islamic teachings with Greek, Manichean, Hindu, and other philosophies. It incorporated pantheism and the idea that God and humans are one essence. The document critiques Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi for claiming prophetic revelations and communing with spirits, contradicting Islamic beliefs. It presents the argument that Sufism introduced innovations not from the Quran or Sunnah.
Zoroastrianism originated in ancient Persia and has three main beliefs: there is one God called Ahura Mazda who is all good, an opposing force called Angra Mainyu who is all evil, and individuals are free to choose between good and evil through their thoughts, words, and deeds. After death, souls are judged and either reunited with their spirit to cross over a bridge to paradise or sent to various levels of hell depending on their choices in life.
This document provides an introduction to the key beliefs and practices of Islam. It discusses the religion's founder Muhammad, core beliefs like the six articles of faith in God, angels, holy books, prophets, the day of judgment and divine decree. The five pillars of practice are outlined as the shahada, salat, zakat, sawm and hajj. Dietary restrictions, mosques as places of worship, and the opening chapter of the Quran are also summarized.
The document provides an overview of reactions to blasphemy from the Muslim world. It defines blasphemy as disrespectful acts or speech about God or religion. It discusses examples of blasphemy from the life of Prophet Muhammad and early Islamic history. More recently, it outlines many cases of blasphemy accusations in Pakistan over recent months, involving disputes between religious groups, political rivalries, and incidents involving the mentally ill or personal disputes. The document aims to analyze understandings of and responses to blasphemy from an Islamic legal perspective.
This document provides an overview of Islam through several sections:
1. It defines Islam as submitting to God through monotheism, obedience, and avoiding worship of anything other than God.
2. It outlines some of the key pillars and principles of Islam, including its emphasis on mercy, compassion, tolerance and spiritual peace.
3. It notes that Islam is a universal religion for all of humanity, not specific to any race or people. It also abolishes all previous religions and scriptures.
4. The document seeks to explain Islam to readers through concise definitions and quotes from the Quran and hadith to dispel misconceptions and prejudice about the religion.
The document discusses differences between Shia and Sunni views of Islam. It summarizes that Shia scholars disagree with the Sunni majority on issues like the number of verses in the Quran, the authenticity and completeness of hadiths, the definition of sunnah, and the validity of ijma (consensus). The document argues the Sunni view that the Quran is preserved, hadiths were rigorously authenticated, sunnah refers to the words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad, and ijma is an important source of Islamic law when the Quran and hadiths are silent. It questions the consistency of Shia scholars who both use and reject the concept of ijma depending on the argument.

RITUALS AND CONTACT PRAYER (nAMAZ) IN ISLAMDr Kashif Khan
This document discusses the concept of rituals and contact prayer (Namaz) in Islam based on evidence from the Quran. It argues that while the Quran does not explicitly mention praying 5 times a day, it is the complete and final source of guidance.

1) It discusses the five pillars of Islam - faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage - and provides details on daily prayers, charitable giving, fasting in Ramadan, and the hajj pilgrimage.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Hajj and umrah notes short procedure with important duas and translation
Attitude of islam towards other religion
1. ATTITUDE OF ISLAM TOWARDS OTHER RELIGION
Dr. Sanjan Ali Hazarika
Retired Prof. of Physics
Jorhat Engineering College
Ex Prof. of Physics Kaziranga University
2. ISLAM FACED FIERCE OPPOSITION FROM THE PAGAN ARABS OF MECCA (NON
MUSLIMS) FROM ITS NASCENT STAGE
They threatened him to stop the spread of the message.
They asked other people not to listen to the Prophet (SAS) and accept his
call for Islam
They requested his uncle and guardian Abu Talib to withdraw his support
to the Prophet so that they can harm him at any time, which his uncle
refused.
They offered him wealth and promised to provide him whatever he
wanted if he stops the spread of Islam.
They tortured their relatives and the poor whoever accepted Islam.
3. When they failed in all respect to compel the prophet in stopping the
spread of Islam they offered a proposal for compromise. They agree to
worship the God of Prophet Muhammad(SAS) and in return asked the Prophet
to worship their gods(idols). Surah Kaferun was reveled after this proposal
Q109:
1. Say : O ye that reject Faith!
2. I worship not that which ye worship,
3. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
4. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
5. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
6. To you be your Way, and to me mine.
4. Allah commanded not to deviate from the path of Islamic monotheism also
commanded not to impose the message of Islam on others by force
Q53: 29.
Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing
but the life of this world.
5. During the initial stage in Mecca the poor people who accepted Islam
were tortured by the leaders of Mecca. But they never gave up Islam even
at the cost of their lives. But Allah commanded to be patient.
Hisham and Ayash two Meccan youths accepted Islam But they gave
up due to the torture of the Meccans. Then the following ayat was reveled.
Q16:106
“Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief, except under
compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast
to unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful
Penalty.”
6. After this ayat was reveled the two youths returned to Islam and prophet(SAS)
accepted them. Similar cases are happening in different parts of the world,
where some people pressurize muslims to shout slogans in praise of their gods
There is no harm in shouting such slogans in praise of gods of other religions or to
eat something forbidden in Islam or pretend to be a non muslim under
compulsion in order to save ones life.
7. Allah commands to behave politely and kindly to any religion unless they
prohibit you from following your belief.
Q60:8
Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith
nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for
Allah loveth those who are just.
8. In order that people of other religion do not insult your God or your Books
do not insult gods of other religions.
6: 107. Had He willed they would not have been idolaters. We have not
appointed you their guardian, nor are you their pleader.
6:108. Do not revile those who invoke others apart from God, lest they
begin to revile God out of malice and ignorance. We have made
attractive their deeds to every people. They have to go back to their
Lord, when He will tell them what they used to do.
9. Many a time some Islamic clerics and fanatics call the followers of
other religions by the terms bedin, kafer etc.
42:13. He has laid down for you the (same) way of life and belief
which He had commended to Noah, and which We have enjoined
on you, and which We had bequeathed to Abraham, Moses and
Jesus, so that they should maintain the order and not be divided
among themselves. Heavy is to idolaters what you invite them to.
God chooses whom He please for Himself, and guides to Himself
whoever turns to Him.
10. 2:136. Say: "We believe in God and what has been sent down to us, and
what had been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob
and their progeny, and that which was given to Moses and Christ, and to
all other prophets by the Lord. We make no distinction among them,
and we submit to Him.“
3: 84. Say: "We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us, and
in what had been sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and
Jacob and their offspring, and what had been revealed to Moses and to
Jesus and to all other prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction
between them, and we submit to Him and obey."
11. 4: 136. O believers, believe in God and His Messenger and the Book
He has revealed to His Apostle, and the Books revealed before. But
he who believes not in God and His angels and the Books and the
prophets and the Last Day, has wandered far away.
Give the Sebians the same treatment as for the people of holy
scripture.
(Malik’s Muwatta Book 17, No -42)
Sebian was a pre-islamic religion which vanished before the advent
of Islam
12. What the Quran meant by the word ‘kafer’ or ‘munafiq’ were the desert
Arabs who were perverse to the message of guidance and were
hypocrites.
9: 97. The Arabs of the desert are the worst in Unbelief and hypocrisy,
and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which Allah hath
sent down to His Messenger. But Allah is All-knowing, All-Wise.
The adjectives like ‘Kafer’, ‘Bedin’ best suite for these people only
13. During Prophet’s time the Arabs had trade with India. It is due to
the Arab traders that the Chera King in Kerala came to know about
prophet Muhammad(SAS) and accepted Islam after meeting him
personally in Medina. On his return journey he died in Oman. It was due
to his wish that Islam spread to India and Cheraman Jumma Masjid was
established in Kerala in AD 629. (During the life time of the prophet).
14. First Mosque in China was established in AD628 in Canton or
Guangzhou during the Prophet’s(SAS)life time.There is a saying of the
prophet
“Earn knowledge even if you have to go to China”
Though the Prophet (SAS) knew about the religion of the people of China
and India he never called them ‘kafer’ or ‘bedin’ and their countries
‘country of kafer or bedin.
15. During the Caliphate of 1st Caliph Hadra Abu Bakkar(RA) when he sent
army for conquest of Syria and Iraq he gave special instruction to the
army “As you advance you will encounter men of religion who inhabit
the monastries and who serve god in seclusion from the world, leave
them be. Do not take their lives and do not destroy their monastries.”
In 711AD during the Umayad rule of caliphWalid I, Muhammad ibn
Qasim conquered Sind of India(which is a state of Pakistan now). The
Hindu religion was recognized by the Umayad Caliph as an established
religion.
16. Important points
Islam recommends maintaining friendly relation with all the established
religions.
In countries where muslims are minority, there is no harm if a muslim
performs some un islamic rituals for saving his live under compulsion, his
faith remaining same.
The words ‘kafer’ and ‘bedin’ should not be applied to the followers of
established religions.
Religious places and the people of other religion should not be disturbed
without a cause.
