The Islamic religion was created around the years 610-630 A.D. by a man named Muhammad.. In 610 A.D., Muhammad received his first message/revelation from the angel Gabriel. At first, Muhammad interrupted his encounter with the angel Gabriel to be the work of a demon. However, after some convincing from his wife Muhammad was convinced that he was selected to receive the word of God through the angel Gabriel. The revelations that Muhammad received are now considered to pivotal text included within the Islamic Qur’an (Islamic bible).
The Six Articles of Faith, Islamic followers obey is the Sharia or Islamic law. Sharia complication of the Qur’an and the Sunnah records words and actions of the Prophet
God told Moses to continue to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land that he had promised to the great leaders before him. Moses lead the Israelites to the Promise land but was not allowed to enter because he broke faith and failed to demonstrate God's holiness to the people in the wilderness, he was only shown from a distance but never entered. Moses died when he was 120 years old. The Bible says that Moses' eyesight was clear and he was as strong as ever when he died. To this day, know one really knows where Moses is buried.
From in a cell, he jots down almost rebel like ideas, which is to be free from having a religion forced upon any single being. In this initial strategy of steering the emotions of the readers, Pane tells the readers “I believe in one God, and no more” (100), he exposes his stance but does not overly enforce his beliefs so the readers will not be subjected to them. I think that this is very important because if Pane did over insert his views then he would be going against his own teachings. Pane then goes on to talk about a few religions, discussing the problems he finds with them. I found this to be his main strategy of grabbing the reader’s attention and expressing his purpose to them.
Moses wasn’t really educated and did not know how to speak well and could not communicate with the community well. The Lord choose Aaron, Moses’s brother to be the “priest” and to speak for Moses. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and used them as his instruments. There the Lord helped the Israelites get their freedom from the Egyptians and this became to be Passover. A decent number of people have heard of the Passover celebration but aren’t always completely accurate with the events that occur during this section in the Bible.
However, the Mufti started translating everything he said into English, so I didn't have to ask Hilmi about it later. The Mufti was speaking about redemption. He was stating that God is most gracious and that if a person asks for redemption he will receive it. However he said that if a man asks for redemption, not from his heart, but because he knows he is about to die, that God can see inside the mans heart and that he will not be forgiven for his sins. He also stated that a man must ask for forgiveness of his sins committed during the day by the time the sun sets in the West and must ask for the forgiveness of sins committed during the night by the sun rise in the East.
In Mecca Malcolm saw the unthinkable, something he thought was impossible. He saw people of all races united for one thing and that was for the purpose of God. "There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all color, from blue eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and the non-white."
This is because he doesn't want other people to go down this road. He wanted others to follow the ways he did to come clean and join the Nation of Islam. In addition, Malcolm X had found out that his teachings that he had learned from Elijah Muhammad were false. Malcolm spoke to the people about how he was mislead. This shows that he was honest about his misjudgement of information and how he expected to change it.
There are various moral sources in Islam in which were established by Shariah. The Shariah states the Five Pillars of Islam set out the ethical duties in life and states the basic five activities that are included in the Five Pillars. These pillars in turn portray a Muslims surrender or submission to Allah (Muslim god). The Five Pillars of Islam are as follows: 1. Shahadah: This is the belief of all Muslims that Allah is one, he is the only god, and Muhammad (PBUH) is his messenger.
They all knew that it had something to do with the religion that they believed in but none of them decided to explain the reasoning behind it. The only thing they really had to say is that my mom said so or it’s just a normal tradition, but no religious history behind why they acted the way they did. I believe this is a perfect example of pluralism because even though the friends sitting at the lunch table didn’t feel the need to explain or didn’t know how, the other friends didn’t judge them for what their religion’s traditions were. This example by Eboo Patel was very persuasive to me, but not as persuasive as her next
