What Is Sharia? Separating Myths from Reality
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 Mughal Empire (the Mongols) was created. Islam spread primarily without violence, through cultural conquest in Indonesia, portions of Africa, and maybe on the banks of the Volga River in the Russian plain.
The Western European countries and the United States of America saw the most Islamization in the 20th and 21st centuries
In this situation, the mobility of workers between Asia and Africa to countries with a higher quality of life is what is causing the growth of Islam. European officials let Muslim migrants in because they assumed they could adapt to the culture there. But this didn't happen. Instead, the attractive, young, and dynamic religion that doesn't ask for the same moral things that Christianity does gained popular in Europe, which had mostly lost its Christian faith.
Right now, estimates say that there are between 1.5 and 2 billion individuals in the globe who follow Islam. After Christianity, it is the second biggest religion. The next lecture, which will be on April 3rd, will be about The Doctrine and Practice of Islam. Comparing Islam and Christianity. On May 16, 2016, Alexei Volkov, a catechist from the Russian Orthodox Church's Church of the Transfiguration in Tushino, gave another lecture in our church's parlor as part of a series called "Uncovering the History of Religions." This one was about the beginnings and spread of Islam.
He was born in Arabia, near Mecca, in 570
Video recording of the presentation on Islam, the youngest of all the world's religions, which didn't just come out of nowhere. The concepts of the ancient Arabs and the cultural effects of Judaism and Christianity were what made Muhammad's preaching of surrender to Allah have an effect on history. But Muhammad didn't just change old ideas. He gave the world a brand-new religion. He used to travel a lot as a caravan merchant. In 610, he became very concerned about religious activity, and messages started to come to him.
This continued until he died in 632. The twentieth year later, all of these revelations were put together into one book, which Muhammad's followers called the Holy Script. People call this book the Quran (recitation). At first, Muhammad's teachings were not violent. But in 622, when he and a few followers had to abandon Mecca and migrate to Medina, they started out to conquer the globe with the new faith by force. Arabia was taken over and forced to accept Islam. When translated into Russian, the name of the religion itself, Muslim, or Islam, implies "submission."
Even after Muhammad died, the soldiers continued to spread the new faith
In under 100 years, Arabs who were adopting Islam had taken over huge areas of Asia, Africa, and even Europe. Now there were two groups of Muslims: Shia (from the word "Shia-group" or "sect") and Sunni (from the word "Sunnah," which means "tradition"). These groups don't get along. Most Muslims are Sunnis. The Mongols, who were one of the Asian groups that followed Islam, accepted it. The Golden Horde made Islam its official religion in 1313. India was captivated by Islam's military expansion, which led to the rise of the Mughal Empire (of the Mongols).
Islam also spread mostly in peaceful ways, such as through cultural interchange, especially in Indonesia and Africa, and maybe along the banks of the Volga in the Russian plain. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Western Europe and the United States became important centers of Islamization. In this situation, labor migration helps Islam grow since Asian and African people move to countries with better living conditions. Lastly, there is a tolerant Europe that takes in a lot of Muslim migrants in the hopes of learning from Europe's traditional ways.
Conclusion
But that didn't happen. Instead, the young and lively religion that doesn't have as many moral expectations as Christianity had, became popular in parts of Europe that had lost faith in Christianity. It's interesting that Islam has about 1.5 to 2 billion followers around the world right now, according to many estimates. In terms of numbers, it is the second religion, behind Christianity. The next topic of the presentation will be "The Doctrine and Practice of Islam." A Comparison between Christianity and Islam
