This is important because Islam is known as the religion of peace. Inner peace (personal peace) refers to the individual, where a state of being calm and serene can be experienced. It can also be associated with spiritual peace and for Muslims it is through complete submission to Allah that they find inner peace – also known as the Greater Jihad. It is believed that only when all people submit to Allah that world peace will finally be achieved. World peace is obviously on a larger, global scale.
We were put here to take care of all things created by God. Both Christians and Muslims were given a woman to be fruitful and multiply keeping Gods creation of man on earth. Both religions teach it is better to help others then to always seek rewards for self. God will bless those who put others before themselves. Christians and Muslims believe all humans are born sinless, but human weakness leads to sin.
He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, which ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord”. Islam and Christianity take a monotheistic (belief in one GOD) approach when it comes to religion. Muslims recognize Allah as the Creator and Christians recognize GOD as the Creator. Both religions believe that human beings have the ability (free will) to choose between good and evil. Another eye opener for me is that Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary and at the end of the world, Jesus Christ will come again.
The Koran also teaches believers how to be good and live good lives. The Koran also prohibits the consumptions of alcohol and pork. Also, what I found interesting is that the Koran talks about women rights and how also it seems that women are lesser than men in some versus. I am still confused how the Koran speaks highly of women but then go on about how one man is the worth of two women. The versus I read seemed to be written in a poetic style that was a bit difficult to understand at times but overall it does have nice words that teaches Muslims how to be good people and
Sometimes I wonder what all the hate against gay marriage is all about. Why is it such a big deal? I agree with Bishop Malone and his opinion about marriage being the foundation for a family, but I disagree with his stance that marriage should be between a man and a woman only. This comes from a very idealistic view on how life should be. Therefore, I believe that homosexual unions should be legal because they can provide the same amount of love, care, education, as well as create equally productive, creative, upright, and responsible citizens as any heterosexual
Muslims believe that there is only one God, called Allah. The Muslim scripture is the Holy Qur'an. Muslims believe it is 'the word of God'. Muslim beliefs and practices are rooted in the Qur'an. Muslims treat the Qur'an with great respect because they believe that the Qur'an is from Allah, and every word and every letter is sacred.
All the same , it is important to know men and women were created equal, if not written on a piece of paper , it is said religiously, “ both male and female reflect the nature of God …Gods sublime unity does not belong to one gender or the other.” (Let’s talk about sex roles, in theory, para 5) These words were written and looked at for centuries but still women played an idealistic role that prominently derived from years back . It took women being angry and suffering yo actually changing the unrealistic view of themselves. Some men despised it, but other men changed with the women and learned to love it by the early 2000’s, things grew omishly different. Dan Mulhern wrote,” When your grandmother were raised, being a woman meant being a housewife, But mom and the new generation seized new opportunities. Her success freed me to see a man can be good…” (para, 5) Since then women are routinely doing jobs and functions that nowadays won't get a second
I believe in the existence of a powerful supreme God, who controls the whole universe and the occurrences in it. I am subject to this God, and hence in my interactions with others I will maintain peace and harmony. Life is sacred, and I will do all in power to preserve it, while maintaining the comfort of my patients. All men are equal, have rights, and will be treated with respect, regardless of their color, race, and religious beliefs or social standing. I will maintain honesty, integrity, kindness and goodness as I deal with other individuals.
The Quakers viewed everyone as equal because they believed that everyone is equal in the eyes of God. This belief extends towards every person and aspect of his or her daily lives. The women were treated as an equal to the male, which was scarce in colonial times. The women were encouraged to get an education and had the same rights as men. The belief in equality in the society made sure that everyone was treated with the same respect.
One idea of Enlightenment thinkers was that human beings are inherently good and rational (Stearns 320). They believed that “political life could be reformed through rational calculations and the belief in the essential goodness of human nature” (Stearns 320). The rights in the Declaration were to be held universal and valid in all times and places. It gave the people popular sovereignty and equal opportunity in stark contrast to the divine “right of kings” that gave these rights only to the monarchy. As Article 6 says, “All citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, are equally eligible to all dignities and to all public positions and occupations, according to their abilities, and without distinction except that of their virtues and talents.” This Article gives rights to the common man and eliminates the “special rights” of the nobility and the clergy.
