Islam

The second person who believed in Muhammad PBUH & in his Message was Ali Bin Abi Taleb, may Allah be pleased with him. While the first one who believed in Him PBUH was His wife, the mother of believers Khadika Bnt Khuwaeled may Allah be pleased with Her.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had both sons and daughters, the first of whom was al-Qaasim, from whom he took his kunya Abu'l-Qaasim. He died in childhood, and it was said that he lived until he was old enough to ride. Then came Zaynab, and it was said that she was older than al-Qaasim; then Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthoom and Faatimah. It was said concerning each of them that she was older than her two sisters. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas that Ruqayyah was the oldest of the three and that Umm Kulthoom was the youngest. Then 'Abd-Allaah was born to him. There is some dispute as to whether he was born after his Prophethood began or before. Some scholars said that he was born after his Prophethood began. There is also some dispute as to whether he was al-Tayyib or al-Taahir, or whether they were other children; the correct view is that these were nicknames given to him; and Allaah knows best. These children were all born from Khadeejah and he had no children from any other wife. Then Ibraaheem was born to him from his concubine Maariyah al-Qibtiyyah in 8 AH. (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 1/103).

So the sons and daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were all born to him from his wife Umm al-Mu'mineen Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her), apart from Ibraaheem, who was born from the Prophet's concubine Maariyah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who was given to him as a gift by al-Muqawqis, the king of Alexandria and the leader of the Copts.

According to the most correct opinion, he had seven children, three boys and four girls. The boys were:

1- al-Qaasim

2- 'Abd-Allaah

3- Ibraaheem

And

The girls were:

1- Zaynab

2- Ruqayyah

3- Umm Kulthoom

4- Faatimah

All of his children died during his lifetime, apart from Faatimah who died after him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

It split into sects.

It started as a political disagreement. Some Muslims (known today as the Shias or the Shiites) wanted Ali, the Prophet's cousin, to be the next leader. The rest of the Muslims (known today as the Sunnis) argued that the Prophet had chosen Abu Bakr when he had asked Abu Bakr to lead the prayer in his place while the Prophet was on his deathbed.

Of course, today, it doesn't matter who was the first leader. However, what started as a political disagreement has, with time, turned into a religious one. While they agree on the Quran, they have many disputes over Hadiths, arguing which are authentic and how they should be understood. In shortest terms, they have become two separate schools of thought.

Many Shias and Sunnis still live together peacefully, though. Disagreement doesn't necessarily mean the two are not compatible. In fact, many Muslims choose not to be known as Sunni or Shia, but just Muslim.

Prophet Mohammed is very important for Islam because he only created the religion. The message to Prophet mohammed the children of Ismail was given by Angle Gabriel to follow Jesus as the true son of God. And to bring all the children of Ismail to the true God

Mohammad is the last and final prophet for All mankind.Islam is very old religion started from the first prophet Adam PBUH & assured by all Allah's Messengers which is the message of Monotheism (to believe in Allah, the only one God with no one associated to Him).

Allah was repeated 2699 times in the Quran

Justice is an importance principle in Islam. Muslims believe that justice should always be upheld in every situation, and regardless if injustice has been done to them.

• First it should be recognized that no God prophet; including prophet Muhammad (PBUH); flee from any enemy or any place unless been commanded by God to leave.
• Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left Makkah (or Mecca) to AlMadinah (or Medina) both are currently in Saudi Arabia.
• Allah (God in English and same God worshiped by Jews and Christians) informed Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) that representatives from all the tribes in Mecca gathered around his home to assassinate him when he goes out from home. His cousin Ali Ibn AbouTaleb was with him at home. He replaced him in bed and covered with his "Burda". Prophet Mohamed went out home, and by God miracle, the gatherings around his home didn't see him. He threw some dust on faces of the gatherings around his home and, by miracle of God, they all fell in deep sleep. Early in the morning, they woke up and each time they look through the window they find who they thought the prophet is still sleeping. After some time they decided to push inside to find that Ali Ibn AbouTalebis sleeping in place of the prophet. By that time Prophet Mohamed (peace upon him) with accompany of his closest companion (Abou Bakr), who he passed by him after leaving home and asked his accompany, had already succeeded to be away from Mecca.
• note: Mohamed may be spelled Mohamad or Mohammad or Muhammad or Muhammed

No, his father was named Abdullah and his mother was named Aamina. Muslims believe he was human, descended from humans, and was not divine, but rather a righteous man chosen by God to deliver the message of monotheism to mankind.

All kinds of sea food are allowed for Muslims to eat.

The basic message of Islam is that;

1. Allah is One.

2. Allah communicates with human beings via prophets, of whom Prophet Muhammad was one.

3. Allah has provided five prophets with codified books of prophecy, contained in the original Bible and the Holy Qur'an.

4. Allah has created angels, pure, intelligent beings who do not have free will.

5. Allah will judge every human being on the Day of Judgment.

6. Allah has preordained certain aspects of human life, such as a person's name, religion, marriage(s), children, income, and the time and place of death.

Quran is not a text written or made or authored by human. Quran, holy book of Islam religion, is God revelation to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel (Jibril) . Quran revelation started in year 610 AD while prophet Muhammad was in Mecca (Makkah) in the current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and continued through year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad death) while prophet Muhammad was in both Medina (Madinah) and Mecca (Makkah) in the current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The three shortest verses are Taahaa (T, H) (first verse in chapter 20), Yaaseen (Y, S) (first verse in chapter 36) and Haameem (H, M) (this verse (i.e., HaaMeem) is the first verse of 6 different chapters in the Qur'an). Each of the three verses is of only two Arabic letters.

of course a Muslim can practice Reiki. Reiki is a method to connect with Light.

Allah is light.

Reiki gives us good fruits, like inner peace, mental health, healing, reducing pain, all those are good things, so its impossible reiki is not coming from Allah. Because all the good things, all the good fruits come from Allah.

Yusuf is also one of the Prophets of Allah . He is believed to be the most beautiful man that ever lived on the face of the earth . No other man or women either born before or after him had or shall ever have beauty such as his . He was very wise and also had the ability to tell what a dream meant . He had seven step brothers and Yusuf was loved the most by their father , his brothers out of jealousy threw him in an empty well away from home and told their father that Yusuf was eaten by a wolf . Prophet Yusuf was rescued by nowmads who took him to Eygpt . There he helped the troubled king who for a long time had the same dream . Every night he dreamt of dying cows and his finest men could not give him a satisfying answer . Prophet Yousuf told the king that it was a sign that his people will have to face drought and if he saves the grains in a store house they will have nothing to worry about . And so it was done and when the day came when there was nothing left in the fields because of the dry weather , they used the stored grains . Yousuf became the favourite of the king and went back to his father and forgave his brothers who repented for their thoughless act . This is what we Muslims believe in . Answer: Yusuf is the Arabic for "Joseph". He is the same Prophet Joseph mentioned in the Bible. The one who went into Egypt. The story written above is just about completely correct; but the one who wrote it did not explain that he is called "Joseph" by English speakers. Peace be upon him and upon all the Prophets.

Muhammad pbu ,before the calling ,was a very respectful man in Mekka & people used to call him " the sincere , the honest" , many of them were used to put precious things as a charge with him for his famous good morals, even before his prophecy he never drank wine, he never prostrated to a fetich as the people of his tribe were used to do in worshipping idols!

when he wanted to tell his tribe to worship Allah(God) & only Allah he first asked them if he had ever told them a lie & they answered him "" ما جربنا عليك كذبا قط

i.e they never experienced him with even a lie !

However he was chosen among all human kinds & called to prophecy by Allah (God) as the last prophet at the age of forty 40.

Yes,It is one of the pillars of Islam. Also Allah (s.w.t) tells us that every other act of worship we do is for us but when it comes to fasting,we fast for him.If a Muslim brother or sister is unable to fast for some reasons accepted by Islam he/she should pay the days they missed by fasting after ramadhan and if they can not fast still,one should give`kibaba'. After going through this i suggest you consult a knowledgeable person concerning the same

Islam, as a revelation from Angel Jibril to Porphet Muhammad (S), began in Mecca, where the Prophet lived before he migrated to Medina.

Islam, however, is the religion that every prophet from Adam (AS) was sending, as Islam means submission to God. So really, Islam started when the first Humans were placed on Earth.

The Prophet had no surviving male child in his family when he died. All his sons passed away in their childhood. But he had daughters who survived him and continued his bloodline. His descendants through his daughters survived and carry the title of "Syed" in their name, and are much respected in the muslim community.

disclaimer - i am a muslim but NOT any religious scholar, i will strongly advise to research more through the net and your local library.

Yep. Jewish dietary restrictions are more rigorous than Islamic ones. In the days when Muslims were few in the US, and most cities did not have a hallal butcher, observant Muslims were among the best customers of kosher delis.

There are some debates among Muslims as to whether Jewish blessings during the slaughter of an animal is sufficient to qualify as tasmiyah (blessing God in an Islamic context during slaughter). The majority opinion is that since Jews bless the same God as the Muslims for the same purpose, the Jewish blessings count as tasmiyah. There is a minority opinion that the failure by Jewish butchers to say specifically "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim" when slaughtering an animal is sufficient to bar the consumption of kosher meat. There is no other issue for a Muslim eating kosher meat.
