Recommended: The fundamentals of tawheed

Surah Luqman, Chapter 31 of the Qur’an,is indeed one of the great surahs to extract lessons from. It is named after a wise man who was not a prophet, but was granted great wisdom from Allah (s.w.t) and was very beloved to Allah (s.w.t). Allah says about Luqman "And certainly We gave wisdom to Luqman, saying: Be grateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful, he is only grateful for his own soul; and whoever is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, Praised. ". In the following, I’ll be explaining some of the lessons that are told in this surah.

The first lesson to be learned in this surah is not to associate partners with Allah (s.w.t). “And (remember) when Luqmân said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship others with Allâh. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allâh is a great Zûlm (wrong) indeed.” As a muslim, the first thing that is taught is tawheed, or the oneness of Allah. Allah (s.w.t) is the one and only God worthy of worship. The first pillar of Islam is shahada, where one bear witnesses that Allah is the only one worthy of worship, a...

    Many, many years ago, a new empire was formed known as The Islamic Empire. This empire was created by the people of the Islamic religion, Muslims. The empire included groups such as the Spaniards, Egyptians, Persians and Indians.They were very great traders and not mediocre at all! They knew how to get what they needed. A historian named James Simmons believes that the success of trading came from the Muslims domesticating the camel. However, Francis Robinson has a stronger statement. He believes the success of trading actually came from the Muslim’s good use of location.

  • Oral History Interview: Imam Furqan

    629 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first artifact I chose was an oral history interview of Imam Furqan talking about the early African-American muslim community in Atlanta. In this interview, Imam Furqan discussed about how he converted from Christianity to Islam. He started off saying that by the age of fifteen, he started to have doubts and uncertainty about his religion. One day at the YMCA, he met a group of Muslims and started to observe them. He asked them what their beliefs were and what type of religion they had. He had an inspiring conversation with them and acknowledged their firm beliefs. After that, he went to a Muslim meeting and it really grasped his attention. He found out that Muslims were very nice and intelligent people unlike the rumors he had heard about them being violent. When he went home that night, he reexamined his beliefs and realized his current beliefs were wrong. He then decided to be neutral and claimed no religion. Then one day, he went back to the Muslims and decided to become a Muslim himself.

    Cultures are unique in many ways; it is irregular to see cultures that are exactly the same as another. While some may borrow parts from neighboring countries or villages, all in all, their unique differences are what make each culture significant. One of the things about the Saudi Arabia and the culture is how derived it is around history, faith, marketing, control, and how westernization affects the country. Other things that will be discussed about the country Saudi Arabia relates to what is important not only to me, but also the way we as Americans culturally identify ourselves with the women of the country.

  • Thomas W. Lippman's Understanding Islam

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thomas W. Lippman gives an introduction to the Muslim world in the book Understanding Islam. He has traveled throughout the Islamic world as Washington Post bureau chief for the Middle East, and as a correspondent in Indochina. This gave him, in his own words, "sharp insight into the complexities of that turbulent region." However, the purpose of the book is not to produce a critical or controversial interpretation of Islamic scripture. It is instead to give the American layman an broad understanding of a religion that is highly misunderstood by many Americans. In this way he dispels many myths about "Muslim militants," and the otherwise untrue perception of Islamic violence. In this way the American reader will become more knowledgeable about an otherwise unfamiliar topic. However, the most significant element of Lippman’s book is that it presents Islam in a simple way that makes the reader feels his awareness rise after each chapter. This encourages him to continue learning about the world’s youngest major religion. Understanding Islam dispels many misconceptions about the Muslim world, and presents the subject in a way that urges his reader to further his understanding of Islam through continued study.

  • Zaka Zakah: The Third Pillar Of Islam

    1843 Words  | 4 Pages

    Zakah is the third pillar of Islam which states that; every Muslim whose income is above a certain specified minimum(nisab) must pay 2.5 per cent of his/her accrued income annually to a needy fellow-being, a new convert to Islam, a traveler or a person with debts. This is a compulsory amount but the more is paid, the greater the reward that Allah will bestow. The money that is paid as Zakah is not something that Allah needs or receives. But He promises us manifold rewards if we help our brethren. And there is one basic condition for expecting rewards from Allah: when zakah is paid in the name of Allah, the payer shall neither expect nor demand any worldly gains from the beneficiaries nor aim at becoming known as the 'philanthropists'.

    On the board on Monday morning, there were numbers one through five and they each had a religion written next to them. 1 was Hinduism, 2 was Christianity, 3 was Judaism, 4 was Buddhism, and I was lucky enough to get 5: Islam. Oh, I know so much about Islam culture and their religion, are you kidding? I don’t even know where Islam is. I’m just kidding, it’s not a country. There are many differences between Islam and the United states like our religion, clothes, and food, and becoming a Christian or a Muslim, but Islam is the second largest religion in the world, so it’s important to a lot of people. The followers of Islam are called Muslims. Becoming a Muslim is not an easy process. You must do a long list of tasks.
