Islam miraculous nature of legislation in the quranArab Muslim
The document discusses the miraculous nature of legislation in the Quran. It notes that the Quran provides perfect guidance for all human needs and contains rules that can handle people's affairs in this life and the afterlife. The legislation in the Quran establishes principles like freedom of religion, fair dealings, personal laws, and criminal laws. It is based on foundations like tolerance, universality, legalizing concessions, few obligations, gradation, and considering people's interests. The Quran established human rights and principles of justice over 14 centuries ago.
The document discusses things that break and do not break the fast during Ramadan.
It states that eating, drinking, and sexual intercourse break the fast based on Quranic verses and hadith. Menstruation also breaks the fast. The hadith are unclear if vomiting breaks the fast, but most scholars say it does not unless done intentionally. Wet dreams and cupping do not break the fast according to hadith. The document analyzes different scholarly opinions on these rulings.
This document discusses the concept of the unseen (al-Ghaib) in Islam. It begins by defining the unseen as anything hidden from human perception and knowledge. It notes that human knowledge is very limited compared to the vastness of creation. It discusses how Allah reveals some unseen knowledge to prophets and righteous servants. The document outlines that the unseen can be divided into a relative unseen known only to Allah and a relative unseen that may one day be revealed. It emphasizes that the Divine Law best solves worldly problems as Allah knows all of creation.
Tawheed means the "Oneness of God". The proper word for God is "Allah" in Arabic. Oneness of God "Allah" means that there is no God but Allah, that is he is the only god that derserves to be worshipped.
This is the difference between Muslims and Christians and Jews.
Muslims say Allah is one and not other gods beside him, moses and Jesus are messengers of Allah and not sons.
Allah has not wive or son.
Chrisitans say God, the Son and the holy spirit (meaning 3). This is shirk and Islam and Allah will not accept this belief.
The same applies to the Jews.
Muhammad founded Islam in the 7th century after receiving revelations from God through the angel Gabriel. He taught the Five Pillars of Islam and his followers spread the religion through conquest and conversion. Over time two main sects developed - Sunnis and Shiites - based on a dispute over succession after Muhammad's death. Islam expanded greatly under early dynasties and empires like the Umayyads and Ottomans and today has over a billion followers worldwide.
Islam uplifted the status of women and granted them rights 1400 years ago, expecting them to maintain their dignity. The hijab prevents objectification and degradation of women by requiring modest dress and lowering the gaze. Implementation of hijab and Islamic legal punishments for rape would help reduce sexual assault, as modest dress prevents invitation of attention while harsh penalties deter criminal acts. Western societies have failed to protect women and promote modesty.
