The Meaning Behind Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha

 We believe that this strain of Islamic philosophy is the best way to explain the strategy of modern Islam and the Muslim world as a whole. People working together and setting up an effective way to solve the world's problems will help humanity deal with tough issues like stopping acts of aggression and humanitarian disasters. When there is a need to fight, it is deeply rooted in our religion, which has nothing to do with radicalism and extremism.

We say that the growth of radical movements and feelings in most parts of the world is mostly due to social and economic problems that happen inside or outside of the country. Terrorism and extremism are not caused by religion in any way. When there are social and economic problems or crises, religious feelings go out of hand, and this usually happens for the personal political gain of one of those people. The terrible things that are happening right now in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the new confrontation over Iran's peaceful nuclear program are all signs of how unhappy people are with the fact that our globe is on a unipolar path of growth.

It also gives people who have chosen this path a way to combine their commitment to Islamic values with their desire to take advantage of the modern world's achievements. That's why it seems important to talk about Islam's internal potential and to look at modern problems not through the lens of strict interpretations of traditional Sharia, but through the core values and principles of this religion. The Islamic way of thinking in the 21st century must include everything that is part of our wonderful religion, especially the ideas of Muslim reformers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

And while they mostly stuck to calls for the restoration of ijtihad and didn't use other Sharia principles to get a sense of how Muslims see the world changing, these days the analytical works of Muslim jurists who focus on the unchanging principles of Sharia as opposed to its specific rulings are very relevant. On behalf of the Muslims of Russia, I beg you to send your warmest thoughts of respect and best wishes for good work and success to the visitors and members of the current forum.

Islam is a complicated and all-encompassing religion that shows how all of mankind should act

It was sent down by God to all of humanity. Islam is not just a religion; it is a way of life that includes following rules and laws that all Muslims must follow. We believe that the main goal of Islam is to make people, families, and communities full of goodness and morality, to raise a person who is healthy in body and mind, and to encourage life in a civilized world. The world nowadays is changing extremely quickly. The process of integrating Muslims has been very heated lately, but it is also very complicated and difficult.

Any problems that come up in this course are about both internal and external difficulties. Today, we need to admit that the Islamic world is behind in science, technology, and the economy, which caused the crisis and many other bad things. It is very important to bet on Islam's ability to understand the world and science. In both Islam and Western civilization, it is important to seek knowledge and make development. In this sense, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's idea that he brought up at the first Alliance of Civilizations forum in Madrid in January of this year is important: "We can patiently learn a lot about each other and must interact and share knowledge in order to improve our mutual understanding of cultures."

The idea of the "Islamic Ummah" is that Muslims ought to be united, cohesive, and supportive of each other. In the context of globalization, the process of merging and unifying governments, and the mingling of cultures and values, many countries around the world are seeing the rise of violence and the spread of immoral ideas. It seems that the only way to solve the world's problems today is to start a conversation between cultures based on respect for each other's history and a rational approach to development that has been built up over the years by nations.

The fact that Islam has a lot of new adherents shows that it is a religion that is always changing. Islam is practiced in more than 120 countries around the world, including Russia and all of its parts. It has 1.4 billion followers, making it the second largest religion in the world after Christianity. Different estimates say that there are 20 million Muslims in Russia, while some say there are even 25 million. But in the last few years, the Muslim countries have been on the edge of the new post-industrial world.

Conclusion

Muslims make up one-fifth of the world's population, but around half of them (nearly 600 million) live in extreme poverty. The difference between the medieval Islam's rise to power and the current state of affairs in most Muslim states, as well as the growing gap between the living conditions of most people in the Muslim world and the wealthy West, makes the monuments of historical crises even worse.

We need to stop feeling inferior because we've realized that Muslim countries have fallen behind in the race to make scientific and technological progress over the past few decades. We need to honestly think about whether the introduction of a market economy, the adoption of consumer culture norms, and their negative impacts, such as spiritual emptiness and immorality, can erode the Muslims' national identity.
