This document discusses different views on the relationship between religion and politics in Islam. It outlines two extreme views - separating the two completely, or viewing politics as the ultimate goal of Islam. The ideal Islamic political system is based on sovereignty of Allah, khilafah (vicegerency) of mankind, legislation by shura (consultation), accountability of government, independence of judiciary, and equality before the law. It also compares the Islamic system of khilafah to Western democracy and monarchy, highlighting flaws in democracy like moral relativism, majority rule overriding intellectual views, and a leader being bound by parliamentary decisions.
This document discusses the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in the media. It suggests that the media often shows a negative view of Muslims after events like 9/11 and the Boston bombings. A study found it is difficult to find positive articles about Islam when searching newspapers. This negative portrayal may influence society's attitudes. However, the document notes that terrorism is not limited to any one group and has been an issue for hundreds of years from different organizations around the world. It also lists the names of Muslims who died in the 9/11 attacks to show that terrorism does not represent all Muslims. The document concludes by discussing ways to raise awareness of Islamophobia through social media groups.
Islam guarantees freedom of religious belief for non-Muslims. While people are born with a natural belief in God, their parents and society can lead them astray. Islam spread through non-violent preaching, not force, and the Prophet Muhammad established treaties protecting religious freedom for Jews, Christians and others in Madinah. Within a multi-faith society, all groups are free to practice their religion, but apostasy from Islam is considered treason against God and the Muslim community.
Characterstic of Islamic civilization and Social system of islamOsama Naseem
The document provides information on various topics related to Islamic studies presented by Osama Naseem. It discusses the key characteristics of Islamic civilization including tauheed (oneness of God), namaz (prayer), roza (fasting during Ramadan), zakat (charity), and hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). It also outlines the social system in Islam, covering rights and responsibilities within family relationships such as between spouses, parents and children, and teachers and students. The document emphasizes treating minorities and others with respect in accordance with Islamic principles.
The document discusses the political system in Islam. It states that Islam teaches how to conduct all aspects of life, including governing a state. An Islamic state's purpose is to implement divine law as revealed by God. The political system is based on tawhid (unity of God), risala (prophethood), and khilafa (vicegerency). The duty of an Islamic ruler is to uphold worship obligations and ensure justice, welfare, and freedoms for all citizens.
Religion (Deen) refers to the relationship between God and humanity according to the Quran. It deals with spiritual matters rather than physical ones. While there are many faiths and interpretations, the Quran states there is ultimately only one true religion, Islam. Religion shapes human morality and behavior, and the core principles of religion as set out in the original divine message do not change, even if understanding of it has evolved over time. Belief is a personal matter based on individual experience rather than mere imitation of others.

This document discusses prophethood in Islam. It covers the following key points:
1) Prophethood began with the first prophet and ended with Muhammad, who is considered the seal of the prophets. Though the Quran only mentions 24 prophets, it is believed that thousands were sent by Allah over time.
2) All prophets conveyed the same core message of monotheism, though laws and scriptures differed for different communities. They set excellent examples and had important works and missions.
3) Muhammad is discussed as the greatest role model and some of his major life events and accomplishments are outlined. Muslims' duties toward the prophet are also mentioned.
4) Key concepts discussed include the univers
Religious Tolerance from Islamic Perspective: An Analytical Studyinventionjournals
This document discusses religious tolerance from an Islamic perspective. It begins by defining tolerance and explaining its importance in Islam. While Islam is the final revelation, tolerance does not mean abandoning convictions; it means respecting others' right to their beliefs. The Quran and hadith show Islam emphasizes equality, justice, and freedom of belief. Non-Muslims living in Islamic states, such as dhimmis, enjoyed full rights in exchange for loyalty and tax. The Prophet modeled tolerance by respecting other religions' laws and protecting all citizens from oppression. Conflicts were managed through respect and protection of rights for all.
The effect of social media on youths todayNuhu Tahir
This document discusses the effects of social media on Muslim youth development. It begins by defining social media and stating that social media itself is not haram, but can be made halal or haram depending on how it is used. It then outlines several negative effects of social media on Muslim youth, including neglecting prayers, addiction, exposure to inappropriate content, promoting hatred, and reducing interest in Islamic interaction. However, it also notes there are halal ways to use social media, such as learning about Islam and spreading Islamic knowledge. It concludes by stating that everyone will be held accountable for their use of social media and advises using it wisely and with taqwa.
Islamophobia refers to prejudice against or hatred of Muslims. The document discusses some of the key reasons for and consequences of Islamophobia. The main reasons given are terrorism by some Muslim extremist groups and underlying racism in Western societies. Some politicians exploit fears of terrorism to promote anti-Muslim policies. Media coverage also fuels Islamophobia by disproportionately linking Islam with terrorism. Consequences include stereotyping of Muslims, discrimination, hate crimes against Muslims rising, and policies targeting mosques and Muslim students.
Sectarianism is present in Pakistan and has three types: religious, linguistic, and political. Religious sectarianism is the most severe problem, particularly the Sunni-Shia conflict. This sectarianism leads to violence and killing of innocent people through attacks. To counter sectarianism, Pakistan needs serious and permanent initiatives such as adopting a concept of national identity that avoids religious, ethnic, tribal, and geographic identities, and instead promotes a shared identity as Pakistani citizens.

This document summarizes a research paper that analyzed data from the World Values Survey between 2005-2008 to examine the relationship between Islam and democracy. The paper reviewed literature on this topic and identified two main questions scholars seek to answer: 1) How democratic is a country? and 2) How Islamic is a country? It then used variables from the survey like religiosity, the percentage practicing Islam, views on politics/family, and GDP to quantify and compare levels of democracy and Islam across 59 countries. The analysis found no evidence that Islam is inherently anti-democratic or democratic - the relationship depends on the specific country context.
This document discusses the need for unity and brotherhood among people. It outlines various differences that divide people, such as religious, sectarian, social, cultural and political differences. It then provides teachings from the Quran, teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and other Islamic leaders that emphasize the importance of unity and treating all people, including those of other faiths or backgrounds, with equality, dignity and compassion. National leaders like Jinnah and Iqbal, as well as global figures, also advocated for unity over division. The document stresses that as humans and members of the Islamic faith, people should focus on their shared identities and realize the importance of unity for a just, peaceful and prosperous society.
The Holy Quran acknowledges that divine guidance has been given to all peoples throughout history, unlike other religions which claim truth as the monopoly of a single faith. Islam is unique in verifying the possibility of other religions receiving revelation from God. While other faiths emphasize their own truth to the exclusion of others, the Quran presents God as having blessed all nations with prophets and scriptures.
1. Tazkiyah means purification and cleansing of the soul from impurities through various means such as purification of thoughts, actions, beliefs and developing good character as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad.
2. Maintaining proper relations with Allah through acts of worship, and with society by fulfilling obligations, helps purify the soul.
3. Fasting, avoiding excessive food and sleep, controlling one's gaze, limiting interactions with those who may corrupt one, and focusing on acts of remembrance of Allah are means to purify the soul.
Sharia is the moral and religious law of Islam based on the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. It covers both criminal and civil aspects of law, including crimes like theft, highway robbery, adultery, false accusations, drinking, and apostasy. These crimes fall under strict Had punishments if strong evidence exists, such as amputation for theft and stoning for adultery. Lesser crimes and sins are punished under the discretionary Tazir system. The goal of Islamic criminal law is to deter crimes while upholding principles of justice, mercy, and wisdom.
The document discusses the root causes of the decline of the Muslim world from an educational perspective. It explores three external factors that displaced Islam from the minds of Muslims: nationalism, secularism, and modernism. Nationalism divided the Muslim world into fragmented nation states and replaced Islamic identity. Secularism restricted religion to the private sphere. Modernism deified change and reason, displacing religion from guiding public policy. The author argues the modern West developed strong systems while the Muslim world lacked direction, leading to its decline.

Social system in Islam VS Capitalist Social SystemNaveed Butt
1) Islam establishes different yet complementary roles and responsibilities for men and women based on their inherent physiological and psychological differences, with the aim of establishing justice, harmony and balance in society.
2) While men and women have equal worth in the eyes of God, Islam assigns different rights and duties to each gender according to their natural roles and abilities, such as men providing financial support for their families and women caring for children.
3) These differentiated roles are designed to protect women's rights and prevent their exploitation, unlike capitalist systems that treat men and women as identical and end up overburdening women.
The document discusses the status of women in Islam based on teachings from the Quran. It states that men and women were both created from a single soul and as pairs. The Quran teaches that women are individuals responsible for their own deeds and that both men and women will be judged equally based on their actions. It emphasizes the importance of kind treatment between husbands and wives and promoting understanding in family decisions. Mothers hold a position of high respect according to the Quran.
Islamophobia is the irrational hostility, fear, or hatred of Islam, Muslims, and Islamic culture at individual, societal or state level
It also connotes active discrimination against these groups or individuals within them with due process of law or without it
It manifests itself through individual attitudes and behaviours, and the policies and practices of organizations and institutions.
This presentation attempts to clarify the concept, analyse its underlying causes, and suggests a plan of action to counter it
This slide program describes some of the excellent morals of Prophet Mohammad (SAW). In the light of Quran and Sunnah, it shows that Prophet Mohammad is excellent role model.
This document discusses the origins and history of Islamophobia. It argues that Islamophobia stems from opposition to Islamic political governance dating back to the Crusades, as Western Christians saw Islam as a threat. This opposition grew during the Enlightenment as secularism took hold in the West. Post-9/11, the "War on Terror" further increased anti-Muslim sentiment by portraying political Islam as incompatible with Western values. The document calls for an intellectual, academic response to address the roots of Islamophobia as an ideological phenomenon, not just a reaction to events, and a global, civilizational response from Muslims that does not view it as merely a racial issue.
This document discusses sectarian conflict, specifically in Pakistan. It begins by defining sectarianism and sectarian conflict, noting it arises from discrimination or hatred based on religious subdivisions. In Pakistan, sectarian violence refers to attacks against religious groups like Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadi, Hindu and Christian. Militant groups perpetrate violence against these groups. Over 2000 Shia Hazaras have been killed by Sunni terrorists since 2000. Sectarianism has negatively impacted society through economic downfall, political unrest, instability, and weakening defenses. The document applies sociological paradigms like structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism to analyze sectarianism.
This document discusses the sources and principles of Sharia law. It notes that Sharia is the comprehensive body of Islamic laws that regulate all aspects of Muslim life. The primary sources of Sharia are the Quran and hadiths/sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. The secondary sources are ijma (scholarly consensus) and qiyas (analogical reasoning). The document provides examples of how rules are derived from these sources and categorizes different types of Islamic rulings based on whether an action is rewarded, punished, or neither.
This document discusses the perception and portrayal of Islam in the UK media before and after significant events like 9/11 and the 7/7 London bombings. It notes that immigration since the 1980s increased the Muslim population in the UK. After 9/11, Muslims faced physical and verbal abuse as the media portrayed them as terrorists. Subsequent terror attacks in the UK, like 7/7, further increased anti-Muslim hate crimes. Over time, right-wing groups grew larger and expressed more hate toward Muslims. The document also discusses organizations that track and support victims of anti-Muslim attacks as well as articles analyzing the negative and biased portrayal of Islam in British media. This biased coverage is argued to contribute to rising Islam

This document discusses the rise of Islamophobia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several fake theories and misinformation spread online blamed Muslims as "super spreaders" of the virus. Social media was used to vilify Muslims and spread religious intolerance. Some media outlets also chose irrelevant pictures of mosques to illustrate COVID-19 stories. In India, many Hindus blamed Muslims for deliberately spreading the virus. This led to anti-Muslim harassment on social media and in the media. The pandemic exacerbated existing societal issues and the scapegoating of Muslims in some countries.
This document provides an abstract for a research paper on Islamophobia and the media's portrayal of Islam since 9/11, with a case study on the Danish cartoon controversy in South Africa. The abstract discusses how the media plays a fundamental role in shaping societies' opinions on issues and how most people rely on media sources for news. It notes that 9/11 and its media coverage contributed to the worsening of Islamophobic sentiment globally. The researcher aims to explore the impact of media on the concept of Islamophobia, especially post-9/11. The conclusion is that instead of acting to create understanding between Western society and Muslims, the media acted negatively against Islam.
The document defines media and discusses the role of technology in media. It provides examples of extremists using the internet to spread propaganda and terror by posting videos of beheadings. While the internet provides a platform to spread messages more widely, it did not create extremism or terrorism, but rather offered an additional medium. Money also plays an important role in media by shifting power to owners, prioritizing commercial success over disseminating diverse ideas. In India, print media plays a vital role in democracy by influencing governance through news coverage and editorials.
The Representation of Islam and Muslims in the Media .docxoreo10
This document provides background information and a literature review on previous studies of media representations of Islam and Muslims. It discusses how Muslims have historically been constructed as the "other" in Western media through orientalism. It also examines how race plays a role in portraying Muslims as the Arab "other" and how media coverage and journalists' perspectives can influence stereotypical portrayals. The document reviews how international and domestic news events impact representations of Muslims. It provides context on the Muslim population in Australia and past discrimination faced. The remainder of the document outlines the study's methodology and findings on language, themes, and counter-representations in Australian newspapers.

Is Media Responsible for Rise of Islamophobia in America?
America is home to one of the most diverse Muslim inhabitants in the world. This includes people of nearly every cultural groups, country and school of thought. A significant proportion of Americans are of the opinion that Islam as a religion is incomparable with American values. Nathan Lean has stated that media plays a major role in the promotion of Islamophobia throughout the world. Reports have been observed where seven charitable foundations have spent 43 million dollars between 2001 to 2009 in order to support the spread of anti-Muslim rhetoric. Another factor was revealed which included 2010 Gallup poll win, which 43% of the Americans were, reported to feel a sense of prejudice against Muslims. Fox news has also been identified as the small component of Islamophobia in US media. Fox news has been found to retract false claims about Muslims. Various empirical evidences have been found to provide possible interactions between the latent Muslim feelings and media coverage.
However, since 2011, Muslims in the United States have been showing significant concern regarding extremism in the name of Islam across the world. Concurrently, majority are of the opinion that there is minimal support of extremism with Muslim community even though the general public differs (Spring 1,5). This has led to a rise in discernment and fear against Muslims in America. Such a social aversion and prejudice against Muslims in America has been gradually facilitating and continuing by vehement and uncivilized stereotypes exhibited in diverse forms of American media organization and political domains which instigate high level of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion of the Muslims. While some Americans believe Islamic religion promotes terrorism, this misconception is due to ignorance caused by media, but this could be solved by mandatory education about Islam in colleges.
The effect of media, chiefly mass news media as well as technology, in influencing Islamophobia has been increasing concern from the time of the 9/11 attacks. Several standpoints tend to problematize the way the media through numerous avenues related to news and film as well as nonfiction destructively depict, racialize and demonize Muslim-American identities. The impression of these edifices of Arabs and Muslims on unconstructive typecasts as well as events of marginalization amongst Muslim-American communities are apprehended in many academic domains. Considine in his study of Muslim portrayal in the United States during late 1980s and early 1990s have found that Muslims have been depicted negatively in news reporting since then. Moreover, majority of the narrations which mentioned Muslims to be intrinsically related to terrorism and war did not find sufficient evidence of more generalized negative prejudice. Howe.
This document discusses how Muslims have become victims in the post-9/11 world. It outlines how Muslims living in Western countries feel under siege due to increased scrutiny, profiling, and discrimination. It also discusses how the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Muslims. The document criticizes several US policies, including support for Israel's occupation of Palestine, alliances with oppressive Muslim regimes, economic sanctions on Iraq that killed over 1 million Iraqis, and silence over Russian wars in Chechnya. It argues these policies generated anger towards the US among Muslims prior to George W. Bush. It outlines several post-9/11 policies, including detention and deportation of thousands of
ISIS uses sophisticated media and propaganda strategies to spread its messages and recruit supporters. They rely heavily on social media and the Internet to distribute high-quality videos, magazines, and other materials. While mainstream media outlets cover ISIS, they rely on the group's own materials due to the danger of reporting from ISIS territories. Experts argue that media needs to take a more critical approach and consider the harm caused by spreading ISIS propaganda. The longevity of ISIS will depend on both military efforts to defeat them and addressing the underlying ideological and socioeconomic factors contributing to their recruitment.
This dissertation examines the potential correlation between mainstream news media coverage and public attitudes towards minority groups in the United States. Specifically, it analyzes the representation of Communists during the McCarthy era and of Muslims after 9/11. The document provides context on framing theory and agenda setting theory to explain how media can manipulate public opinion through selective reporting and emphasis of certain events or groups. It outlines the sources that will be analyzed, including newspapers and television news channels, and proposes that official government sources have significant influence over the issues discussed and framed in media coverage. The goal is to determine if news media has historically fueled public fear towards targeted minority groups in a way that supports government policy agendas.

This document summarizes a case study on American Muslim youth navigating culture, politics, and civic participation post-9/11. Key findings include:
1) American Muslim youth grew up in a climate of fear-inducing anti-Islamic sentiment and counterterrorism measures after 9/11.
2) Youth use new media to advocate for overlooked causes and reshape representations of American Muslims by creating their own narratives.
3) Youth struggle to balance privacy concerns with activism online, with some sacrificing privacy and others engaging in self-censorship.
IN THIS SUMMARY
In No End to War, Walter Laqueur deals with the new elements in contemporary terrorism, why terrorism came so suddenly, and why it is so often and so thoroughly misinterpreted. Terrorism has changed over time and so have the terrorists, their motives, and the causes of terrorism. During the 1990s, a new factor arose that became the most prominent component of world terrorism: Islamic terrorism, especially from al Qa’ida under Osama bin Laden.

The Role of the Internet Post-9:11 in Terrorism and Counterterrorism Valerie Williams
This document summarizes the key findings of a journal article about the role of the internet in terrorism and counterterrorism since 9/11. It discusses how terrorist groups have used the internet to spread propaganda, connect with recruits and supporters, plan attacks, and inspire radicalization. Several case studies are provided of terrorists who used the internet to communicate and coordinate their plots. It also describes the strategies used by counterterrorism agencies like the FBI to monitor online activity and conduct undercover operations online to detect and prevent terrorist activities in the post-9/11 era.
Islamophobia is prevalent in Western societies due to events like 9/11 and the Paris attacks that fuel fear of Muslims. The media portrays Muslims negatively and politicians exploit anti-Muslim sentiments to gain votes. While overt racism like attacks on mosques occurs, more subtle aversive racism is also common in interactions and views of Muslim-majority areas. Despite Canada's multiculturalism, Islamophobia persists as shown by increased anti-Muslim hate crimes since 9/11.
This document examines the threat of violent Islamic extremism in the United States. It aims to evaluate fears about this threat, understand pathways to radicalization, and determine if there is a connection between Islam and jihadist beliefs. The author reviews literature on definitions of terrorism and radicalization. Studies show domestic terrorist attacks and plots have increased since 9/11, though the number of deaths is lower than other forms of political violence. There is debate around how to define and understand the radicalization process, with disagreement on whether there are clear pathways or if it is a complex, individual process influenced by ideology and happenstance. More research is needed to fully understand radicalization.
1) The media shapes events through the biases and values of editors, which can lead to unfair representations of Islam in a post-9/11 context. As the most widely read newspaper in the UK, The Sun newspaper has published misleading statistics and stories that reinforce negative stereotypes of Muslims.
2) For example, The Sun reported that "1 in 5 Brit Muslims' sympathy for jihadi", but the actual survey found only 4% had sympathy for those going to Syria, and 15% had some sympathy. By conflating these groups, the article twisted the facts.
3) The biased mediation of Islam through events like terrorist attacks can encourage Islamophobia by falsely implying all Muslims condone violence
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the worldAzis MACh
Islam is attracting thousands of converts in Britain each year, including some prominent figures. A new study finds that over 14,000 white Britons have converted to Islam in recent years, disillusioned with Western values. Some high-profile converts include landowners and celebrities. Muslim leaders see the conversion of prominent individuals as helping protect their community during difficult times. Experts note that for mass conversions of white Britons to occur, an inspirational transitional figure promoting an attractive vision of Islam would need to emerge first.
The document discusses the Cessna 425 aircraft, including its specifications and construction. It provides details on the aircraft's dimensions, capacity, weight, engine, and performance specifications. It also describes the aerodynamics of propellers, explaining that thrust results from propeller shape and angle of attack, and is equal to the mass of air handled multiplied by the difference between slipstream velocity and aircraft velocity. Finally, it explains the working principle of a propeller governor, which adjusts propeller pitch to keep the engine speed constant during climbs and dives.
The document discusses the construction of the Airbus A380 aircraft. It describes that the A380 uses a combination of materials for its structure, including 61% aluminum alloys, 22% composites, 10% titanium and steel, and 3% fiber metal laminate. It provides details on the fuselage, wings, and landing gear of the A380. The fuselage is made of composite materials and has a length of 73 meters. The wings have a span of 79.8 meters and use carbon fiber composite for the central wing box. The A380's landing gear system contains a total of 22 wheels to support the large aircraft.
The document discusses turbocharging of piston engines. It provides a brief history of the turbocharger, invented in 1905. A turbocharger uses the engine's exhaust gases to drive a turbine which spins an air compressor, forcing more air into the combustion chamber and allowing the engine to produce more power. It describes the key parts of a turbocharger and how it works to increase air density and engine power. Advantages include improved fuel efficiency and power, while disadvantages include increased noise and cost.

4. ISLAM AND MEDIA
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. It is especially popular among
young people who are connected to social media platforms. Digital platforms
have markedly impacted the social life of Muslims, including their religious
practices, religiosity, preaching, issuing fatwas (religious decrees), and building
virtual communities in the Muslim majority countries or in diasporas. Just as
other regions, the Muslim majority countries have recently witnessed a rapid
diffusion and adoption of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube. In the Arab world, Facebook is the leading social networking Web
site, with 45,194,452 users. Twitter follows with 2,099,706 users. The Arab
region is second to the United States when it comes to the number of YouTube
daily views. With 90 million video views per day, Saudi Arabia has the world’s
highest number of YouTube views per Internet user. The popularity of social
media platforms in the Arab world has led some scholars to expect that its
impact on religious life is likely to rise.
5. Good Deeds of Media in Support of Islam
Social media presents a hugeopportunity for us to reach out topeople who may
not know about Islamic Muslims. Thousands of Americanshave never met a
Muslim but they have access to us through social media.
6. Muslims under the Media Microscope
In the post 9/11era, the growth of electronic &, in particular, social media has
had a significant impact on the lives of Muslims around the world.Khurram T.
Dara, author of the “The Crescent Directive: An Essay on Improving the Image
of Islam in America” remarks that “everyscandal, controversy, or violent
terrorist attack perpetrated by Muslims is put under the microscope.
In addition to the Sufi and other soft versions of Islam, there are also violent
manifestations of Islam found in the blogosphere, enacted as Al
Qaeda, Hamas, and Hizballah. The emergence
of e-jihad in forms of digital activism, hacking
activities, and cyberattacks has turned the blogosphere as a realm of civic use
of social media into “Blogistan,” where aggressiveness and violence are
prominent. The strongest manifestations of the use of social media for political
or even militant Islamic movements are the recent Arab revolutions.

8. Christchurch attacks: Islamophobia in the media
It has been over a week now since 50 Muslim worshippers were killed in
Christchurch, New Zealand. The attacker live streamed his killing spree on
Facebook and the video - all 17 minutes of it - spread from there.
n Australia, where the killer came from, a lot of people are blaming the media -
especially news outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch - for sowing the seeds of the
hate unleashed in Christchurch.
A study conducted by One Path Network, an Islamic media outlet based in
Sydney, tallied up the number of negative stories that five Australian
newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp produced in the year 2017.
It found almost 3,000 such stories referring to Islam or Muslims, alongside
words like "violence", "terrorism" or "radical".
Once every second day in 2017 there was a front page that demonised and
spoke negatively about Muslims. This is bound to have an impact on the way
that Australians and mainstream perceive Islam or Muslims
9. Increase in negative messages about Muslims in the
media
Organizations using fear and anger to spread negative messages
about Muslims have moved from the fringes of public discourse into
the mainstream media since the Sept. 11 attacks, according to new
research by a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill sociologist.
