Islam

I think that this question can be answered in two ways. One is the moral decay of a, individual religious person. One who rejects that which one had to go the way of the world and adopt its ways. Or where the Religion itself with all of its members turn away from their beliefs and go the way of the world moral decay takes over.

The second is the religions view of the moral decay of the world in general as apposed to its own righteous beliefs and righteous actions.

You fast in Ramadan in obedience of God command to you. By fasting Ramadan, you hope that you will be rewarded by God mercy and forgiveness. In addition, you hope that fasting Ramadan develops in you self-discipline, self-control, and piety as well as continuous obedience to God and prophet Muhammad teachings and commands.

It seems like a trivializing term for something so terrible, but terrorism is something of a fan among Muslims. This is not to say the it's universally adopted by them, nor that no other group uses it; however, whereas when Irish thugs kill old men and children, as the IRA did in the bombing of Lord Mountbatten's yacht, or a renegade group of Amish start attacking their political adversaries, there is prompt and widespread condemnation from members of the terrorists' own societies, in Islamic countries, terrorists are often looked upon as heroes: governments pay their families huge bonuses; mothers name their newborns after them; the pictures are displayed in parades and their suicide tapes are endlessly replayed. Just as negative stereotypes in the West (drug dealers, pimps, con men) are embraced by some minorities, the idea of being a terrorist (which they call a "martyr") is attractive to many Muslims who see it as a path to revenge for Western slights real and imagined, glory and fame, and, of course, the various sensual delights promised by Mohammed for those in martyrs' paradise.

The muslims that had been converted my traders and merchants still lived and had lived in Indian cultures. With such close boundraies it's no surprise that Muslim Mosques and other buildings had Indian art and architecture styles.

they have same holidays of sunni Muslims. but they have also Ghadir holiday that is considered the most Important holiday of Islam by shia Muslims.

shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. today there is up to 260 sect in Islam that are in two category of shia and sunni.

shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.

shia pray 5 times a day but usually do the 2,3 and 4,5 pray together and so may seem they do 3 pray a day. there is some differences in details of pray like how to hold hands in pray and on what do the genuflect (for shia should be on a stone or part of earth and for sunni on carpet or floor ).

shia believe after death of prophet God selects the successive for prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.

shia believe the Caliph (Representative of God in earth after prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)

this means only God can select an Islamic leader.

in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))

and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.

and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.

shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declare Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni references and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allameh Amini) we should first destroy all our books.

Shia doctorin has root in Karbala. when tragedy of Karbala happened most of iranians became shia.

Islam was introduced to Malaysia by Arab/Muslim traders. Due to the need of spices by Europe at the time, and the fact that the Europeans had to travel through the Middle East, Afghanistan and Persia to get to the spices, the Muslims had the plan to control the spice growing. The Muslims knew if they had the spice markets, then they controlled the price aswell. On the way, these men and women practiced their beliefs (i.e. Prayer, Fasting, Charity, etc.) and this interested many indigenous populations. They started to learn about Islam while the traders learned the knowledge that the people already their knew, like medicines and architecture. It is even thought that some of the Sahaba (Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sala'am)) visited Malaysia, after all, there was a delegation of Muslims sent to the Emporer Gaozong in China by the Caliph Uthman.

It could be argued that all 3 of these religions are about the same thing, worshipping God. Each religion does have a significantly different emphasis, however. Judaism emphasizes the primary importance of the Jewish people; Christianity emphasizes the teachings of Jesus, Islam emphasizes the teachings of Mohammad.

When a Hindu gets married, they don't have the ceremony in one day.

There are at least 4-7 ceremonies throughout a Hindu marriage.

But it depends on what your family decides on.

First ceremony includes..

the Boy and Girl side both meeting each other..

that's like a 4 hour thing. You dance, eat and other fun stuff.

The second ceremony involved a ladies gathering and you put on henna and dance and sing.. before the fun stuff happens there is a little prayer held.. where you do or put stuff on the bride such as rub oil on the bride's head and flip around with rice.

ah aha.. and then the fun stuff happens where the bride and other ladies or young teenagers sit around waiting for someone to put on henna. Meanwhile ladies.. and especially get convered with designs..

the family is dancing or eating or even talking!

3ed ceremony the big thing.

you do your prayers and have to do your prayers while walking around fire 7 times..

and before that you sit and the "pundit" acts as a priest and that's when the ring comes on. after completeing 7 rounds of fire.. your marriage is OFFICIAL.

He is shia.

The book that consists of the revelations of Muhammad (S) from Allah is called the Qur'an.

the Kaaba was constructed by Ibraham and his son Ismael, after Ismael had settled in Arabia.The building has a mosque built around it, the Masjid al-Haram. All Muslims around the world face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are.

In the early days of Islam, the religious leaders were also the political leaders. The first four Rightful Caliphs were the religious as well as political leaders. Then some of the religious scholars like Imam Abu Hanifa ra, Harat Imam Malik ra, Hazrat Imam Ahmad bin Hambal ra, etc devoted their life for the compilation of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), some other for compilation of Hadith and certain others for spiritual training.

It is not necessary to call a Muslim by a particular name after performing Hajj. Anyhow, a Muslim man after performing hajj is called a 'Haji'. The Muslim woman is called 'Haajan, or Hajjan.

Islam did not encourage the suppression of knowledge or the censorship of diverse ideas, which would have hindered scientific progress and the flow of information. Instead, it promoted inquiry, observation, and the pursuit of knowledge through various means, such as translation and the establishment of educational institutions. The Islamic Golden Age exemplified this commitment to learning, as scholars made significant advancements in fields like mathematics, astronomy, and medicine.
