The question is very general, yet I will try my best to shed light on what I understand from it; Islam is the religion of all the true prophets from God e.g. Noah, Ibraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohamed. Usually who oppose Islam either ignorant people of the authentic teachings of Islam or people who know that Islam is the truth yet they oppose it because Islam teaches people to worship and submit to one unique true divine GOD (ALLAH) and not to submit to temptations, or worldly gains of this non-eternal limited life.

What is the name of people who were enemies of Islam?

The term "enemies of Islam" is subjective and can vary depending on the context. Historically, there have been various groups or individuals who opposed or persecuted Muslims, such as the Byzantines during the early Islamic period, the Crusaders during the Middle Ages, or more recent extremist groups like ISIS. However, it is important to note that Islam itself does not classify specific groups of people as enemies.

Why can Muslims hold separate philosophical and theological beliefs?

It depends on what you consider to be where philosophy ends and theology begins. Islam holds a pietist as opposed to a humanist view of the world and therefore Islam is fundamentally incompatible with humanism in its basic forms (i.e. human intelligence is central - as opposed to God, a man's worth is his material contribution - as opposed to his desire to serve, etc.). However, there are some humanist values that Islam shares such as the idea that every human has a uniqueness that is desirable and the polities work better with differentiation. Islam also holds an essentialist as opposed to an existentialist view of purpose and therefore Islam is fundamentally incompatible with modern existentialism in its basic forms (i.e. we act and then create purpose - as opposed to God creating purpose and men acting because of it, we define ourselves - as opposed to God defining us, etc.) However, it is perfectly permissible for one Muslim to be a Hobbesian and another to follow Locke. It is permissible for one Muslim to be a deontologist. another to be a consequentialist, and a third to be a utilitarian with a minimal deviation from the mean. A Muslim can have an Aristotelian understanding or a Machiavellian understanding of virtue. These different views are permissible since none of them contradict the base teachings of Islam.

What does indivisible mean in Islam?

Indivisible is not an Islamic terminology. It is a mathematical term that signifies something that cannot be divided in any form. "In" means not whereas "divide" means to part in two or more from a single unit. When "indivisible" is applied to Islam, it is usually used in reference to God. In Islam, as opposed to Christianity, God cannot be divided into different parts, natures, or attributes. This usage of indivisible, though, is not unique to Islam.

Do you think he is Christian while believing in Islam teachings!!!!That is just hateful Islam-bashing.1) Islam teaches that no "race" is better than any other.2) Muslims never committed terrorist acts until this last century (after Hitler).3) Islam teaches that people are to have freedom of religion, freedom to do business, and the freedom to uphold their own tribal and cultural identities.The values of Islam not only have nothing to do with Hitler's ideals, they are directly opposed to them.Read related questions below.
