Islam

The Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca in 570 A.D. At the age of 40, in the month of Ramadan, he received his first revelation from God and three years later started to openly preach the revelations, proclaiming that "God is One", etc. Some of the tribes in Mecca were hostile against Muhammad, hence he and his followers escaped persecution by migrating to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622 A.D. This event is known as the "Hijra" and marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.

Mecca is the center of the Islamic world. Because Islam is such a large, and often misunderstood religion, it is quite important to the rest of the world as well. I'm not sure that any place is entitled to be called "The Center of the World". Rome is the center of the Christian world, New York is the center of the financial world (one of them anyway) and so on. Does that make them more important than all the rest? I think not.

First things first . Muslims don't pray to mecca , Muslims don't pray to some black stone or Muhammad or some emperor ,etc etc. Muslims pray to Allah and mecca is not Allah .

Mecca (Mekkah) is just a direction towards which a Muslim faces while praying.

5 times prayer a day is commandment of Allah for a Muslim to do so and it si duty of a Muslim to pray 5 times a day.

The main sacred place in Mecca (or Makkah) in Saudi Arabia is the Kaaba that is considered the first God House on earth. The pillars of Kaaba was raised by prophet Abraham (aided by his son Ismael); peace be upon them. Kaaba is surrounded by the Grand Mosque (or AlMasjid Alharam) that can accommodate up to 4-5 million Muslim to pray.

Quran says (meaning English translation):

"Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah ('Mecca or Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns).In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham); who so ever enters it, he attains security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah or Kaaba) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah (or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism), those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah stands not in need of any of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns)." (3: 96-97)

it is a hole site fr them because that is were they say there savior will come and for the Jew they say that there saivor ardy came and that they were there befor the musluilms and they say when they got there their was no one there so they calmed it for them self.

Jerusalem is a city in Israel, which is a country that allows Hindus to practice their religion freely. Jerusalem is also a city that held a Sai meeting. The worship of Sai Baba is a practice that has divided Hindus.

Politically, Jews and Muslims in Israel have nearly all of the same rights and responsibilities. For example, all Israeli Jews and Muslims can: vote once they reach the age of maturity; own, lease, buy and sell property; freely travel and move across Israel's territory; build religious structures and worship as they choose; freely speak both as individuals in private and in the public square; demand to speak to police; demand a civil trial instead of a military tribunal for any crime for which they might be accused; organize in any political, labor, personal, or other union, provided such union has a legal purpose (as opposed to a drug gang or similar); etc.

However, since Israel is an inheritor of the Ottoman Millet System and has decided to retain such a system because it is popularly supported by most of the population (including the majorities of the minorities). The Millet System provides partially segregated systems for personal laws, education, and the military. Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs (of whom the majority are Israeli Muslims) have separate schools in order for Jews to receive instruction in Hebrew and Arabs to have instruction in Arabic. There are private schools for both Jews and Arabs, but this is the minority. The Israeli Rabbinate and Imamate individually deal with the life ceremonies of Israel's Jews and Muslims respectively, including: birth ceremonies and documentation, circumcisions, marriage ceremonies, divorce proceedings and asset allocation, and funerals. Due to the Israeli Rabbinate and the Israeli Imamate's stance against intermarriage, Jews and Muslims in Israel cannot intermarry unless they go abroad. As concerns the Israeli Defense Forces, Israeli Jews (both male and female) have mandatory conscription. Israeli Muslims are permitted to serve, but are not actively conscripted. Most Israeli Muslims who serve in the IDF are Bedouin males. Muslim women and ethnic Palestinians (both men and women) are much less common.

Saudi Arabia. The authority of the King of the Saudis derives from his position as Guardian of the Holy Sites.

Yes, there are Muslims in Albania. They form the majority of the population. However, Albania is a Secular State as opposed to an Islamic State. 70% of Albania population are Muslims (accounting for around 2.5 million)

They were treated very poorly and shared little rights, but on occasion were allowed to participate in government and business. They could also own property and slaves.

Hope this helps...I was just having a hard time looking for the same thing :)

saudi arabia contain muslim people but it is not muslim country because muslim country is the country witch do the sharyaa "islam law" , they use some of these law and no country is close to Saudi Arabia

That is the correct spelling of the proper noun Mecca, a holy city in Saudi Arabia. When used as a common noun, it means a sought-after goal or popular site.

An alternate transliteration is Makkah.

Initially, in the late 1200s and 1300s, Islamic merchants from Arabia and East Africa had interactions with Indonesian merchants, especially in the Banda Aceh region of northern Sumatra. These contacts resulted in willful and free religious conversions by many Acehnese to Islam. In the following centuries, when Islam was the dominant religion among the Acehnese, the Acehnese Sultante conquered numerous islands in the Indonesian archipelago resulting in discriminatory legal practices against non-Muslims in their empire. This led to large conversions of Indonesians from Syncretic Forms of Buddhism to Syncretic Forms of Islam to avoid these discriminatory treatments.

When the Netherlands colonized Indonesia, they put an end to Islamic hierarchy, but unlike most European colonizers, the Dutch did not impose Christianity on its conquered regions. As a result, the percentage of Muslims in the country increased since being Muslim was seen as a symbol of being non-Dutch. Additionally, the Dutch increased contacts between the western islands where Islam had long been dominant (like Sumatra, Java, and Borneo) with more eastern islands (like Sulawesi and Irian Jaya) where Islam had been weaker allowing for the development of larger and more integrated communities. By the time of Indonesian independence from the Dutch, Islam was over 80% of the Indonesian population.

Bosnia, Turkey, Albania, and Kosovo are the only countries with European territory that have a majority Muslim population.France has a Muslim population of 8%.

Bosnia, Turkey, Albania, Kosovo and Azerbaijan (a small part of it is in Europe, like Turkey) are the only countries in Europe which have majority-Muslim populations.

our prophet pbuh was born in macca and macca is the center of Islam

The holy city of Makka was established by Hazrat Abraham (AS) and his son Hazrat Ismaiel (AS). Both of them built the Kaaba (The House of Almighty Allah). Then they sent a call to the world people to come to Makka for pilgrimage. Many of the Prophets of Allah are buried in the Kaaba. People from all over the world used to come to Makka for pilgrimage even before the birth of the last Prophet of Islam (MPBUH).

This is a complex subject but, I will try my best to explain.

One of the reasons has to do with religion, the other territorial.

The first reason is religious. According to the Bible and other religious text, God made a promise to Abrahan of a blessing. It consisted of multiplying his inheritance like the gains of sand on the seas, and that his descendants would inherit the kingdom of the heavens.

Sara was the name of Abraham's wife, and she gave him a son by the name of Isaac. Agar war Sara's slave that became Abraham's concubine and had a son by the name of Ismael.

God promise that both will be blessed, according to religious writings.

Jews believe that the promise was for Isaac, because he was the son of Sara, the legitimate wife. That they are the descendants of Isaac the son of Sara, because hi was the son of the legitimate wife, and therefore are the recipients of the promise. Also that the promise was made directly to Sara by God's angel. Which by the way is also what Christians believe.

Muslims on the other hand, believe that the promise was for Ismael, the son of Agar, because he was the first born. According to tradition the first born is the receiver of the inheritance. Also that God's angel spoke of the promise directly to Agar in the dessert. That they are descendants of Ismael the son of Agar, and therefore the recipients of the promise.

The second reason is territorial. The ancient Roman legions inflicted a genocide of the Jews in 70 AD. Due in part to the indomitable spirit of the people of Israel, that despised the Roman rule, and created an unstable control in the region.

According to the historian Josephus: "Josephus claims that 1,100,000 people were killed during the siege of Israel, of which a majority were Jewish, and that 97,000 were captured and enslaved."[4]

Those who survived where taken captive and sent to Rome to serve as slaves.

Many fled to other Mediterranean countries; such as Egypt, Turkey, Spain

(then Iberia) , Syria Jordan, North of Africa, France (then Gaul), Greece, Cyprus, Crimea, etc.

After the genocide, the Romans introduced people from different surrounding nations, (mostly Arabic) and called the area, Palestine.

If you want further information about this go to Wikipedia under:

"Siege of Jerusalem (70)".

The Jews believe the land was given to them by God through Moses, when they escape from the ancient Egyptian (Pharaohs) rule, and have God given right. The Palestinian believe they have been there for thousands of years, that they are the rightful owners of the land, and are bitter to be taken from their land.

Hence, these two events are still today the major reasons of conflict between Israel, Palestine and other (Muslim) Arabic nations.

1) They both believe to be the descendants of the son of the promise made to Abraham by God, and therefore have the right to the kingdom of the heavens.

2) They both believe to be the rightful owners of the land due to historic events.

I believe that both have a certain degree of truth in their point of view. However, I believe the two should live together in harmony and share their homeland together. As far as religion is concern, I wont comment on the subject.

I hope this is useful, you could make further research on the subject.

Shi'a Islam is the state religion of Iran, and the main religion practised in Tehran. Other religions present but monitored are the Bahá'í faith, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism.

About 85% of the total population of ca. 4.8 million are members of the state church and another 5% are members of other christian church societies. However, not everyone who is a member of the state church consider themselves as christians, and only 5-10% of church members go to church on a regular basis.

The last Muslim ruler in Spain was Muhammad II, the Emir of Granada. Ferdinand and Isabella's army defeated his in 1492.

The official religion or race of Iran is shia of course, where over 85% of the population is shia. While the rest are sunnis.
