Why Muslims Pray Five Times a Day

Gambar
 The believer follows the Law of Allah, who is all-powerful and all-knowing. And the person who doesn't believe follows the rules that people made. The laws that people make are always changing and often don't agree with one other. They are not a very good guide. Islam tells us not to think that God has a body, that He is in a certain place, or that He is in any way (up, down, right, left, etc.) complete. It is not possible to attribute every trait of a creation to God, as they are all flaws that do not belong to Him, as emphasized in "Why Muslims Pray Five Times a Day ." It might be easy to explain with the argument that follows. Everything around us has a name or a means of being defined. For example, colour is used to tell the difference between living and non-living things in the world, and one can question which colour it goes. Everything has flaws, and the question is what they are and how they show themselves. When we think about something, we might learn ...

What Is Sharia? Separating Myths from Reality

Gambar
 After Muhammad died, there were military attempts to spread the new religion . During the 100 years, Arabs who followed Islam took over enormous areas of land in Asia, Africa, and even Europe. During this time, there were two groups of Muslims: Shia, which means "group" or "sect," and Sunni, which means "tradition." They didn't get along with each other. The vast majority of Muslims are Sunnis. The Turkic-speaking tribes, which were warlike, changed Islam from the 11th century on. These tribes, the Turkmen Seljuks and the Ottoman Turks, influenced the understanding of "What is Sharia?" The latter may take over the territory of the Orthodox Byzantine Empire and create a vast Ottoman Empire there, making Islam the national religion. The Mongols, who took over the Asian people who were Muslims, accepted it. The Golden Horde's official religion since 1313 has been Islam. Islam spread through the military all the way to India, when the M...

Islamic Views on Justice and Mercy

Gambar
 The following phrases from the Holy Quran may give you an idea of how Islam views justice: "Be strict to justice, bear witness even against yourselves, against your parents, and relatives..." Why is the connection between Islam and justice so important these days? First of all, since the world is clearly becoming more and more unfair. And this is one example. In 1950, the ratio of GDP per person between poor and rich countries was roughly 20 to 1. In 1971, it was 30 to 1, and now, at the start of the 21st century, it is 75:1—highlighting a stark inequality that contrasts with Islamic Views on Justice and Mercy . This unfairness around the world will get worse even faster in the coming few decades as the fight for access to the dwindling natural resources heats up. So, just so you know, history shows that when the amount of injustice becomes too great, states and countries collapse, and people disappear from the face of the Earth. For Islam and Islamic civilization, fair...

Halal and Haram: Understanding Permissible and Forbidden

 But the tale of Islamic culture is still unique, even though it has its own problems. It didn't have the same kind of unfairness that you see in Indian caste-based culture, like The Islamic civilization improved on the capitalist system that came about because of historical demand by learning about justice and practical wisdom. In this scenario, justice in Islam comes not from strict rules but from understanding the Almighty, His signs, and His guidance on Halal and Haram. The first verse of the first surah of the Quran reflects the essence of Tawhid. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-alamin, praise be to Allah, Lord of worlds. Modern physics has shown that there may be additional worlds besides the three-dimensional one we live in. The Quran tells us that the Almighty Allah loves all of these worlds. There are all existing and potential possibilities that are engaged in His Will and Providence. divine full justice of Allah fills a person's life; they become part of the flow of divi...

Ethics in Islam: A Moral Framework for Life

Gambar
 The Quran says that the ideal person in the sight of Allah is the one who is God-fearing and pious. There is no other way to make your Creator happy. And on the globe, everyone is the same, no matter what their skin color or gender is (as Maruf says): "O people!" And we really did make a man and a woman and we made you races and tribes so that you could get to know each other. "Know that the noblest among you in the sight of Allah is the righdest of you," says Surah Al-Hujurat Ayah 13. Justice in the Quran doesn't simply mean being fair to some groups; it means being fair to everyone, no matter if you're a serf or a nobleman. "O believers, bear witness with equity to Allah, even as to yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives." The Quran says to be fair even to your opponents, which not many people pay attention to: "Let not the hate of any people turn you away therefrom." Say the proper thing; it is closer to godliness and rightnes...

The Spread of Islam in the First 100 Years

Gambar
 Thanks to Allah, Muslims today are starting to understand that their weakness, backwardness, and decadence are the result of being Muslims, as colonizers taught us for decades. However, they are not living Islam. Because of this awareness, the Muslims' hands began to reach out to the bookshelves in quest of things they had forgotten about long ago. Muslims need to go to the past once more to discover the starting point for a new renaissance and the right path. The Spread of Islam in the First 100 Years offers a clear example of this. They need to turn their uneasiness and loss of identity into constant activity and their meditations into solid thought. We don't want a shallow, pointless, and short presentation of history to make heroes out of those who have done amazing things. Instead, we want a deep reading that makes you think about relationships and meanings in the example of the greatest person in history. In fact, if you think about how Muslims are doing now, you m...

The Concept of Accountability in Islamic Teachings

Gambar
 The paper talks about social responsibility from the point of view of Islam, looking at its fundamental ideas and how they fit into religious relationships. Five of them control the moral framework and set the standards for social responsibility in Islam: coherence, harmony, free choice, duty, and righteousness. The article explains how Islam's social and economic justice is carried out through paying the religious tax (zakat) on income and property, setting up charitable foundations (waqf), giving alms (sadaqah), and giving free loans (al-qard al-hasan), among other things. It is said that the prohibition on interest (riba) is a key part of the Islamic philosophy of social responsibility and sustainable development. The article's method is to look at the main sources of Islamic theology in order to define the main themes and specifics of social responsibility in Islam. The article also uses the comparative technique to show how the idea of social responsibility in Islam ...

Contributions of Islamic Civilization to Science and Art

Gambar
 The Muslim world reached its peak of scientific and cultural advancement throughout the Middle Ages. Al-Andalus and the Sicilian Emirate helped spread knowledge and ideas to Europe. They are translations from Latin to Arabic of scientific writings from the 12th century on astronomy, algebra, natural sciences, and medicine. The Muslim world had a big impact on many parts of Europe, such as art, farming, alchemy, music, pottery, and more. Arabic philosophical books were translated into Latin, which changed almost all areas of philosophy in the medieval Latin world. Muslim philosophers had a big effect on natural philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics, in particular. The Chinese development of paper, the compass, and gunpowder, as well as industrial and scientific advances along the Silk Road, were also important. Some of the original ideas that came out of the golden age of Islam had an impact on other parts of medieval European culture. This is when most Arabic words made the...

Islamic Architecture: A Blend of Faith and Beauty

 So, a microcosm is the whole individual, but most of the time, that person doesn't know it. On the other hand, Allah gave humans free choice, so they can choose between the path of tawhid and the path of idols. In any case, he is surrounded by the Justice of the Almighty and his tawhid. You think this is good, but it is evil. You think this is bad, but it is good. The justice of the Almighty is a very limited and relative view of human justice. A Muslim believes that justice in social life means fighting against injustice all the time with actions, words, ideas, and examples. If that's the case, is unfairness a kind of original state of affairs? A Muslim should follow Allah's will and be loyal to it. He shouldn't think that justice is just severe rules and ceremonies. He should know and see the signs of Allah in every part of his life. Parts of it may not be very evident right now, but in five or ten years, Allah will reveal the Muslim what it means. A chain of si...

The Golden Age of Islam: Achievements and Legacy

Gambar
 Islam is the religion of justice... A lot of Muslims and non-Muslims won't be able to think of ways that Islam and justice are connected. Adalat, which means "the Justice of the Almighty," is the basis of the Islamic faith. Muslims are also told to spread Adalat over the world. What does Tawhid (the belief in one God) have to do with Adalat (the idea of justice)? How do people treat one other, the state, the authority, and others? What does Islam say about these things? What does Islam justice mean in real life? Sh.Z. Sultanov wrote an article about Islam and justice. Because of this, we can talk about what some people call the "complex of actions" that religious institutions do to achieve socially important events, which is their social duty [7, p. 133]. People looked up to these people and thought they were good examples of how to be an adult. They were real leaders who others had to look up to. Yes, but a lot of people in Quraysh society, as well as kin...
