Islam

14 Rajab 1432

In both religions Priest and the Katheeb ( a responsible person from Mosque) pray for blessings from God

the friends and followers of Ali believed that after the death of prophet, the caliphate and religious authority belonged to ALI. this belief came from consideration of Ali's position and station in relation to the prophet , his relation to the chosen among the companions , as well as his relation to muslim as general.

it was only the events that occurred during the few days of the prophet final illness that indicated that there was opposition to their view, contrary expectation, at the very moment when the prophet died and his body lay still unburied while his household and a few companion occupied with for his burial and funeral services , the friend and followers of Ali received news of the activity of another group who had gone to the mosque where community where gathered faced with this sudden loss of its leader.

this group ,Which was later ti form the majority , set forth in great haste to select a caliph for the muslim with the aims of the ensuring the welfare of the community and solving its immediate problems. they did this without consulting the household of the prophet , his relatives or many of his friends who were busy with funeral and without providing them with the least information. thus Ali and his companions were presented with a fait accompli .

Ali and his friends such as Abbas , Zubayr , Salman . Abu Dharr , Meghdad and Ammar, after finishing with the burial of the body of the prophet became aware of the proceedings by which the caliph had been selected . they proteted against the act of choosing the caliph by consultation or election , and also against those who were responsible for carrying it out.

they even presented their own proofs and arguments but the answer they received was that the welare of the muslims was at sake and the solution lay in what had been done.it was this protest and criticism which separated from the majority the minority that were following Ali and made his followers known to society as the partisans or shiah of Ali . the caliphate of the time was anxious to guard against this appellation being given to the Shiite minority and thus to have muslim society divided into sections comprised of a majority and a minority .

THE supporters of the caliph considered the caliphate to be a matter of the consensus of the community , and called those who objected the opponents of allegiance . they claimed that the shiiah stood, therefore opposed to muslim society .sometimes the shiiah were given other pejorative and degrading names.

shiism was condemn from the first moment because of the political situation of the time and thus it couild not accomplish anything through mere political protest.

Ali in order to safeguard the well-being of islam and the muslims and also because of lack of sufficient political and military power did not endeavor to begin an uprising aganst the existing political order which would have been of a bloody nature . yet those who proteted against the established caliphate refused to surrender to the majority in certain questions of faith and continued to hold that the succession to the prophet and the religious authority belonged by right to Ali. they believed all spiritual and religious matters should be refered to him and invited people to becime his followers.

Subhannah Wata Ila

ila meaning God in Islam, Subhannah Wata All praises & glory to .. This is what Muslims say after Allah. Some use (swa) although it shouldn't be abbreviated and said in whole in all cases.

*Inspired by Um Hajj , I don't want my knowledge to go to waste. As Muslims we should all strive for the upmost in humility, love, forgiveness, and enlightenment.

Muslims and Christians are all the subjects of the same God. in Islam the God is only and unique and has a name called Allah and there is no son or daughter of him. Hz. Mohammad is the last prophet according to the Islam and Hz. Mose and Hz. Jesus Christ are the former prophets of the Jews and Christians. In Islam Christians and Jews are different from for example Buddhist because Christianity and Judaism originates from the God and Hz. Abraham is the ancestor of All three big prophets. Therefore; there is no big difference between Islam and Christianity the major difference is that the Allah c.c. is unique and single in Islam and all prophets are very good peoples and subjects of Allah c.c.

Sincere prayer and sometimes fasting or going without food and water for 24 hours if your health will allow. Go to Him in private. Speak with Him openly and pour out your heart to Him along with your desires to change and do better. Ask Him for the strength and courage to make the changes you wish to make. He loves you and will help you. Matthew 6:5-18 and 24, Matthew 9:10-13, and Luke 15:7.

Answer2: The Bible lets us know how God feels about us. 1 John 4:8 says "God is love." Psalms 65:2 says "O Hearer or prayer to you all sorts of people will come." Never be afraid to approach God in prayer. He is our Heavenly Father and wants us to open pour out our hearts to him. Be specific in your prayers to God and make them meaningful. We should never conclude we are beyond the reach of God's mercy. If we truly repent, take steps to right the wrong, and earnestly pray for forgiveness on the basis of Jesus' shed blood, we can have full confidence that Jehovah God will forgive us. ( 1 John 5:19) We should imitate this forgiveness in our dealings with one another.

The oldest name for the valley of Mecca is Paran. This name is in the Bible and it means: "Two runaways".

The Bible says that Abraham took Ishmael and Hagar to the "wilderness of Paran". Arab history records that when Ishmael kicked his feet, and a well of water sprang up, a caravan that was comin North from Yemen saw that there were birds circling over head - because of the water. They thought that was odd because they knew there was no water there. They decided to go to check it out and, when they got there, they found the only Hagar and her son Ishmael. So they called the valley "Farran", the two runaways.

Mecca is also referred to as "Bacca" in the Qur'an. That is a word which signifies a place where people croud into. In Arabic: "Yeta-BAAKUNA" ("they croud").

May God bless you (to a girl)

It comes from the word salam, which means peace. The word Islam means submission. It comes from the story of Abraham, who submitted himself to God. Hence, Islam is about submitting oneself to God.

Likewise, Muslim means anyone who submits. This is why Muslims believe Adam to be the first Muslim.

the main events are:

- journey to mina for midday prayers

- Remain in mina until after the night (isha) prayers

- return to mina collecting stones on the way

- stoning the devil

- the sacrifice of id-ul-adha

- shaving or cutting of hair

This question can be read two ways:

If the question is asking, "When Mohammed was in Mecca, what was the way in which he received the message, i.e. God's message?", the answer is: While in a cave in Mecca the angel Gabriel told Muhammad that he was to recite to word of God, or Allah.

If the question is asking, "When Mohammed preached his message to the People of Mecca, how did they receive him, i.e. how did they respond to the message?", the answer is: Mohammed did manage to convert a few people closely related to him, but his attacks on idolatry were not well received, especially by the tribe of Qoreish. This tribe subsequently ordered his death, resulting in him having to flee to Yethrib. It is only after this flight from Mecca that the Umma, or Muslim community, develops.

Imam

Judaism, Christianity and Islam each speak of the religion of Abraham and the Prophets. They refer to the very same God - in Hebrew Elohim, in Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke) Allah, and in Arabic also Allah. But the three religions differ in some basic points: 1) Judaism officially says that the religion of Abraham is for Jews, only. 2)Christianity says that the religion of Abraham is for all people - but official Christian teachings say that God had a son who spilled his blood for the redemption of believers. This is very very different than both Judaism and Islam. 3)Islam says that the religion of Abraham is for all people - but that the real Jesus NEVER said that he is any kind of god. Redemption is for those who : believe in God's Oneness and do good deeds. Muhammad is the last Prophet - who was foretold by Moses and Jesus, as well as many other Prophets. ( Google the words: "Muhammad in the Bible" for articles on this subject ). In Islam, Muhammad did not bring a 'new' religion. He brought the TRUTH about the religion of Abraham - which Jews and Christians had changed into something incorrect. www.freequran.org

Jew, Christians, and Muslims.

because he didnt teach them how to choose one upon his death?

Largest Country on the Arabian Peninsula: Saudi Arabia.

Two Holy Islamic Cities in Saudi Arabia: Mecca and Medina.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was meditating in a mountain cave called Hiraa and was following the steps of prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim or Abram) who believed in one and only one God.

I don't think so (since I've never ever heard that rumor), but that dude who sucker punched him got murked days later...

To be a muslim, anyone must uphold and practice the 5 pillars.

Muslim wear neat and decent clothing on the occasions of Eid mainly in reflection of their cultures and traditions. Such as the cultural dress of Pakistan is Shalwar Kamiz, and so Muslim men prefer wearing it going to the mosques for eid prayer.

Uthman Bin Affan was the third caliph of Islam. He was one of the first ones to accept Islam and was one of the very few free people that accepted Islam in the early days. He was a close prophet of Prophet Muhammad and was very rich. After conversion, he used all his wealth to buy and free Muslim slaves that were being tortured by the their pagan masters. He migrated to Madinah with the prophet. In Madinah the Holy Porphet married his one daughter to Uthman. When that daughter died, the Holy Prophet married her other daughter with Uthman who too, unfotunately, died. It was then that the holy prophet said that If he had another daughter, he would have married her with Uthman. On his death-bed, Umer, the second caliph constituted an electoral college and directed them to elect a caliph. That electoral college then elected Uthman as the third caliph Islam. During his reign, Islam made great progress. The message of truth spread to far flung areas and prosperity came to the Islamic Empire. He was killed by Rebels while he was reading Quran and as prophecised, his blood drops fell on the verse "..... And we shall suffice thy against thee". That manuscript is is a museum in Turkey presently. Holy Prophet gave him the glad tidings that he will enter Paradise during his life.
