Is it allowed to buy cats with money in Islam?
It is not harram. In Shi'a islam if you have a cat in your house it shouldn't enter a prayer room or sit or touch your prayer mat or prayer cloths because the hair of the cat is 'najiss' (impure). Also a dog is najiss, its not harram to keep one but it will corrupt your salah (prayer), your prayer wouldnt be accepted, that also refers to cats.
However according to Sunni islam, cats and cat hair is not najis at all. You can keep a cat in your house. It is just how you obtain one that is being discussed, ie you can adopt one but not buy it for profit. The prophet (s) did not elaborate on why this is. This means that even if there was cat hair on your clothes or the cat licked you, your prayer would still be accepted. The prophet (s) did his ablution from the same water that a cat had drunk from. However if the cat has a visible najasa in her mouth, like a mouse then you should wait a little while after this has been removed and her saliva is tahir (clean) again.
However in sunni islam a dogs saliva is always najis although their hair is tahir as the hadith tells us. One cannot keep a dog for entertainment purposes at all. The only dogs that can be kept are hunting, guarding or herding dogs and even then they must not enter the house. If you keep a dog for entertainment purposes, your good deeds will be reduced by one to two qiraat everyday.

What gods did Muslims worship at the Kaaba?
The one and only one God, with no partner,. no son, no companion, no associate, and no resemblance; same God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and same God of all God prophets and all God religion followers. The kaaba is a holy place were Muslims worship. it is a place were everyone is one equals wearing only a towel or abyaa
Thanks. The answer is almost complete.
The Kaaba was rebuilt by Hazrat Abraham (AS) and his elder son Hazrat Ismaiel (AS). The foot print of Hazrat Abraham (AS) is still safe on a piece of stone standing on which he placed the stones one on the other. It is the Home of Allah, a symbol, like all the others mosques situated through out the world. The Muslims perform Hajj at the Kaaba, a ritual started by Hazrat Abraham (AS). Apart from Hajj, all prayers are also offered at the Kaaba five times a day round the year.
Who believed that only descendants of Prophet Muhammad can lead Muslims?

What is it like being a Muslim in Britain today?
Normal..... a Muslim can practice his/her religion anywhere.
Answer:
"Allah" is the name, in the Arabic language, for the One and Only God. It is the very same God of the Bible.
Here is proof:
In Hebrew, they call God "Elohim". The letters i and m at the end of the word are a suffix, added to imply respect. That suffix can be found at the end of many words, in Hebrew. So, without the suffix, the primary, root word for God in the Hebrew language is "Eloha".
In Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke) the name for God is "Alaha".
Arabic speaking Christians also call God "Allah". It's not just a Muslim thing.
The name Allah is most likely from the combination of two words: "Al", which means "The", and "Ilah", which means "god". So, in other words, "Allah" simply means "The God".
Is Islam more similar to Judaism or Christianity?
ANSWER
Well the Jews might not all agree, but the Jewish religion is definitely closer to the Christian religion than Islam. The Moslems worship the false god Allah. The Jews believe in the same God as Christians, but as a group have not yet accepted Christ as the Messiah, although some Jews have. Answer:

What prophet do Judaism Christianity and Islam all share?
They all strove to guide the the ethics of the Jews.
Answer 2:
The Israelite prophets were extremely learned and pious individuals, both men and women, whose superlative level of piety merited them with visions from God. They had to be humble, yet speak with authority. They had to love their people, yet not hesitate to rebuke with caustic words if commanded to by God.
The prophets were called upon by God to guide the people and to guide the king. While the king had authority in national matters of state, and the Sanhedrin (Sages) had say in Torah-rulings and halakha (law), the prophets spoke in matters of ethics, of belief, of loyalty to God, and behavior. They rebuked the people at God's command, they predicted events which God revealed to them, they taught through Divine inspiration, and they provided optimism and hope with the prophecies of eventual Redemption.
Some of the prophetical chapters (or books) detail Israelite history and past events, some exhort the people to improve their spiritual level, some predict events and/or warn (especially concerning the First Destruction), some serve to comfort the nation, some speak of prayer and love of God, and some speak of life, experience and wisdom.
Did Muslims occupy Israel before the Jews?
No:
The Israelites (early Jews) were in Israel (Canaan) for 220 years, in 1700-1500 BCE. Later, the era from Joshua until the First Destruction (including the Judges and Kings) was 850 years. The Second Temple era was, according to traditional chronology, another 420 years (not 586), which included the Hasmonean dynasty. That's a total of 1490 years.
After the Second Destruction, there were thousands of Jews who remained in Israel (Judea; Palestine) throughout the Talmudic era and beyond (see for example the Talmud, Sanhedrin 17b). They were the majority of Palestine's population well into the fourth century, with records attesting to at least 43 Jewish communities, most of them in the Galilee and Jordan valley. After that, there were still Yeshivas in Israel with at least some thousands of community-members.
In the fifth century, the Jerusalem Talmud was completed in the yeshiva of Tiberias, by the disciples of Rabbi Johanan; and the Christians of Palestine declared Judaism to be a tolerated minority.
In the sixth century CE, Mar Zutra and his descendants served as head of the community and the Rabbinical academy in Tiberias.
In the seventh century, the Palestinian Jews joined the Persians in a battle to take Jerusalem from the local Byzantines, and enjoyed a brief autonomy, which the Byzantines under Heraclius officially recognized in 628. At the time of the Moslem conquest of Palestine in 638, the Jewish population has been put at no less than 300,000; and a period of flourishing began. Caliph Umar encouraged Jews to resettle Jerusalem.
In the eighth century, there were 30 synagogues in Tiberias. A Jew named Abu Issa brought his forces in battle against the Caliph.
In the ninth century, the Jews of Palestine instituted their own Gaon (leading sage) in Tiberias and later in Jerusalem.
In the tenth century, we have the greatest of the Massoretes, Aharon ben Asher and Ben Naphtali, flourishing in Tiberias.
Contemporary with Rashi (11th century), we have a Rabbi Abiathar and others, who lived in Israel (see for example Rashi commentary, Talmud Berakhot 62a), and large Jewish communities in Rafah and Ramle, Hebron, Acre, Caesaria, Jaffa, Ashkelon and Gaza.
In the 12th-13th centuries, the Palestinian Jews were harshly persecuted under the Christian Crusaders, yet many Jews continued to live in all the above-mentioned towns as well as Haifa, with Judah Halevi journeying to Palestine in 1141, Maimonides in 1165, and Nachmanides in 1286. In 1187, Saladdin invited more Jews to settle Palestine. In 1204, a group of Maghreb Jews arrived; and in 1211, 300 Rabbis arrived from France and England. In 1260, Rabbi Yechiel of Paris established a Talmud academy in Acre.
Since that time, the continual presence of Jewish communities in Palestine (Israel) is well-known and needs no reiteration.
Why there was a slit in Islam resulted in creation of the two different sects?
It is not realy a "split". That would imply two relatively large groups. The fact is that at least 85% of those who call themselves Muslim are all from one group. They are the people who follow the Qur'an and the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They are called 'sunni' Muslims, by some people. In fact, they are simply true Muslims.
The other 15% are all deviant sects that have corrupted the true, original teachings. Anyone who studies Islam can see how the other groups have changed the original message.
Shiites, Ahmadiyyah, Alawi, Ismaili, Druze are some names of deviant groups.
In fact, Muhammad said that there would be such deviants; and he condemned their teachings as leading away from God. He said that the only rightly-guided group would be the one that stuck to the Qur'an and to his example. We thank God that it is the clear majority.
For an understanding of why the Shiite sect developed, you can go to Wikipedia for a detailed explanation. For examples of how they have gone astray from the healthy and true religion, you can go to You Tube and search: Real Shiah Faces.

What does Islam and the Holy Quran say about the Holy Bible?
The Holy Bible Says, another gospel ( Quran in al-Nisaa' 4:157-158 ) which is called word of god but not is to remove you from the grace of Christ / mislead you from the truth / pervert you from the gospel of the Christ.
According to the holy Bible in Galatians 1:6 -9 .... Another gospel,that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Another gospelthat trouble you.
According to Quran in al-Nisaa' 4:157-158.
And because of their saying (in boast), 'We killed Messiah 'Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,' - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them the resemblance of 'Eesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]: But Allah raised him ['Eesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All Powerful, All Wise [al-Nisaa' 4:157-158]

As much as Muslims do not think the bible is the word of God, Christians do not think the quran is the word of God or the same God for that matter... They just do not say it, where Muslims will state this openly...
.
Excuse me, The question is not think about, The holy Bible clarify's ( Galatians 1:6 -9 ) that quran is not from God / not word of God.
Muslims / Quran could not able to prove that the holy Bible is not word of God, They don't state this because they don't have evidence.

What is a goal of most modern-day fundamentalist Islamic societies?
It is unclear what qualifies as a fundamentalist Islamic Society and what counts as a moderate Islamic society. Additionally, fundamentalist Islam is not a monolith, there are a variety of aspects of Islam which can be stretched to become fundamentalist, such as minority rights issues, jihad-war issues, freedom of speech issues, freedom of association issues, freedom of conscience issues, and so on. A fundamentalist group may endorse views that are problematic in one category, but seem perfectly fine in another. As a result, it is difficult to answer.
If the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan are used as a prototype of fundamentalist Islam, their goals are quite clear. They intend to create a society that is based entirely on the most militant and antiquated reading of Islamic Law or Shari'a. Shari'a, like Islam, is not a monolith and there are Islamic Scholars who claim that the numerous Human Rights are part of the Shari'a. The Taliban disagree. They have been extremely repressive towards women (preventing them from getting an education, endorsing honor killings, and throwing acid in their faces), anyone who professes a faith other than Sunni Islam (especially Shiites), anyone who commits a moral or legal infraction (the death penalty is quite common), and anyone who tries to associate and freely discuss the situation and their views.
