Muslims believe in angels as honored creatures that worship and obey God alone. Gabriel is considered an important angel for bringing the Qur'an to the prophet Muhammad. Muslims hold angels in high regard for their devotion to God.
Islam is the religion of over 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide who believe in one God called Allah. Muslims believe Muhammad was the final prophet who received revelations from Allah collected in the Quran, their holy book. Muslims pray facing Mecca in mosques, washing before prayer and performing set motions while reciting from the Quran.
Islam is the submission and obedience to the will of Allah (God). It is an Abrahamic religion that believes in the Judeo-Christian God. The five pillars of Islam are the profession of faith, daily prayers, charity, fasting during Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Quran is believed to contain the word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. Islam spread rapidly through trade routes, military conquests, and the message that it brought equality and religious freedom to conquered peoples. Today it is one of the world's major religions with over a billion followers worldwide.

2. While events are decreed by Allah, humans still have free will over their own actions and will be held accountable for their choices. Allah gave humans the power to choose but controls all circumstances.
3. Belief in al-Qadr is obligatory in Islam. It does not mean humans have no free will or that supplication is useless, rather Allah answers prayers in accordance with his divine decree. Humans are still commanded to worship and obey Allah.
This document discusses angels in Islam, including:
1. Faith in angels is a fundamental tenet of Islam, comprising belief in their existence, functions, names, and attributes.

- Angels help carry out God's commands and plans, such as teaching Adam, ordering others to bow before Adam, and informing Mary that she will give birth to Jesus.
- They record humans' good and bad deeds and accompany humans throughout their lives and after death. Angels take believers' souls gently and inform them of their entrance to paradise.
- Angels help and protect believers when enemies attack, with God sending 5,000 angels to assist those with patience and piety. They question disbelievers after death about why they did not

These revelations continued for the rest of his life and were recorded to become the Quran.

PROPHET MUHAMMED NAMES HIS SUCCESSOR
(10 A.H./632 A.D.)
Non-Muslims who like to attack Islam accuse the Prophet of Islam of having neglected to name his successor, not knowing that he actually did exactly so in accordance with the Divine order which he had received on Thul-Hijja 17, 10 A.H./March 18, 632 A.D., announcing the name of his successor the very next day, and here are the details:
In 10 A.H./632 A.D., immediately following Hijjatul-Wada' (the Farewell Pilgrimage, the last pilgrimage performed by Prophet Mohammed), a divine order was revealed to the Prophet to convey the remaining Islamic tenets: the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and the Imamate of the Twelve Infallible Imams. The Prophet called upon the faithful to accompany him on his last pilgrimage; he knew that it would be his last and that he would soon have to leave this temporary abode for the eternal one. More than one hundred and twenty thousand Muslims responded to his call.
The Prophet and his company put on the ihram garbs at the appropriate time at Masjid al-Shajara, a short distance from Mecca, his birthplace, which he entered on Thul-Hijja 5, 10 A.H./March 6, 632 A.D. The Prophet's call reached Yemen where' Ali ibn Abu Talib was acting as his representative. Twelve thousand Yemenite pilgrims came out headed by' Ali in response to the Prophet's call to accompany him on his historic Pilgrimage, bringing the total number of those early pilgrims to more than one hundred and thirty-two thousand.
The Islamic pilgrimage starts in the month of Thul-Hijja (month of the pilgrimage), the last Islamic lunar calendar month, and continues for at least ten days. First, each pilgrim dons a special garb called ihram; males' ihram consists of two white sheets or towels covering the upper and lower parts of the body, whereas females wear a full white cotton outfit, simple and modest. This ihram reminds the pilgrim of his/her death and of the
equality of all before God. All pilgrims perform the same rituals; none receives any favourable treatment or distinction on account of his status, power, or wealth.
The pilgrimage starts by the tawaf the circling of the Ka'ba seven times. The Ka'bais identified in Islamic literature as an earthly counterpart to the Almighty's Throne (' Arsh) in heaven where the angels circle it in adoration. Likewise, in imitation of those angels, Muslim pilgrims circle the Ka'ba in adoration of their Lord. The tawaf is followed by the sa'i: the pilgrims run back and forth seven times between the -Safa and the Marwa in commemoration of Hagar (Hajar), mother of Ishmael, frantically searching for water for her newborn son Ishmael.
After that, the pilgrims drink of the well of Zamzam which had appeared miraculously for Hagar and Ishmael, wash with it or use it to make ablution for prayers at the Ka'ba but never to use it in the toilet; Zamzam is too sacred for such an application. Then the pilgrims leave Mecca for Muzdalifa, 'Arafa, and ..........

Muhammad spread the beliefs and practices of Islam through conquest. His successors built an empire stretching from Spain to India. In the 7th century, a split created the Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam. The nomadic Arabs originated from the Arabian Peninsula and organized into tribes. Muhammad received revelations from God through the angel Gabriel and founded Islam, with beliefs including monotheism, following the Five Pillars of Islam, and adhering to Sharia law.
Islamic study of the life of Muhammad Part II, beginning with the Hijri in 622 to the death of Muhammad in 632. It outlines his flight to Medina, struggle with the 5 tribes there, culminating in driving out two Jewish tribes and beheading the men of the third tribe. The battle of Badr, the battle of the trench, Khaybar, and the final conquest of Mecca are included, as is the institution of the Hajj. The session ends with a brief description of the four righteous caliphs who followed Muhammad.
This document discusses the Islamic concepts of fate and destiny (al-Qadaa wa al-Qadar). It begins by explaining that while Allah has given man freedom of choice, everything that happens is ultimately determined by Allah's will. It notes that some misinterpret this to mean people are not responsible for their actions. The document then discusses how while other creatures chose to be oppressed, man accepted the responsibility (al-Amanah) of choice from Allah. It explains that Allah gave man this choice out of love, to have a creation that worships Him willingly rather than by force. The document outlines various privileges Allah gave man as the leader of creation, such as provision from the earth and control over other creatures
The document discusses the Islamic concept of Nafs (self) and its comparison to Freud's theory. It explains the three types of Nafs mentioned in the Quran - the commanding Nafs that encourages evil, the blaming Nafs, and the peaceful Nafs. It compares these to Freud's Id, Ego and Super-Ego. The document provides tips for mastering one's Nafs through following Islamic principles and practices like prayer, meditation, and striving for spiritual and moral improvement through knowledge and good deeds.
Islam is derived from the Arabic root word "salam" meaning peace. It refers to the peaceful submission and obedience to the will of God and following his laws. The five fundamental articles of faith in Islam are belief in God, angels, prophets, revealed books, and the day of judgment. On the day of judgment, all humans will be resurrected and judged by God based on their beliefs and actions, and sent to either heaven or hell.
The document provides instructions on how to perform Muslim prayers (salah) in accordance with the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It discusses the importance of purification (taharah) before prayer through ablution (wudu) or full body washing (ghusl). It then outlines the conduct of salah, including the five daily prayer times, dress code, facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and performing the obligatory (fard) and optional (nafilah) parts. It notes exceptions for traveling, sickness, and emergencies. The call to prayer (adhan) is also summarized.
The document discusses the key pillars of Al-Qadar in Islam according to Islamic theology:
1) Al-Ilm - Allah's complete knowledge encompassing all things past, present and future.
2) Al-Kitabah - Allah's writing of all things in the Preserved Tablet before creation.
3) Allah's Mashee'ah - Allah's will that determines what occurs in the universe.
4) Al-Khalaq - Allah as the sole Creator of everything and anything that exists.
Prayer is a religious service, especially a regular one, at which people gather in order to pray together.
Prayer (salah) is the second pillar of Islam. It is a prescribed liturgy performed five times a day (preferably in a mosque) and oriented toward Mecca.
Prayer (salaat) involves eight physical postures and recitations that provide spiritual and physical benefits. Each posture stretches and exercises different parts of the body like the back, legs, and stomach. They also stimulate organs and glands, improving health. Mentally, the postures and recitations unite the brain, generate humility, and cleanse the mind of toxins. Overall, the physical components of prayer aid relaxation and focus while providing a full body workout, and the spiritual elements enhance concentration on God, purity one's soul, and increase reliance on Allah.
There are six articles of Faith in Islam:
1. Belief in Allah (God),
2. Belief in His Angels,
3. Belief in His Books,
4. Belief in His Messengers,
5. Belief in the Last Day, and:
6. Belief in the Divine Preordainment and Divine Decree (Qadhaa' and Qadr).
This document discusses the history of Islamic psychology and some of its key figures. It summarizes the contributions of early Islamic scholars such as Al-Kindi, who used experimental methods in psychology, and Abu Zayd al-Balkhi, who was the first to differentiate between neurosis and psychosis and classify mental disorders. It also discusses the work of later influential figures such as Ibn Sina, who described numerous mental illnesses, and al-Ghazali, who discussed concepts like the self and its causes of misery/happiness. Overall, the document shows that Islamic scholars made many important advances in understanding the mind and treating mental illness as early as the 7th-9th centuries.
The document discusses the health benefits of performing namaz (sala'at or Islamic prayer). It notes that namaz involves mild physical exercise through specific positions and movements. When performed correctly and regularly, as five times daily, it can help maintain overall health and fitness without strain. The document highlights the importance of proper wudu (ablution) before namaz, noting that various aspects of the wudu process like hand washing are in line with modern medical knowledge about preventing the spread of infection."

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
