Recommended: What is the status of women islam

Islam is a fastest growing religion in the world. Islam in legislations aims to create a balanced human being in all its aspects, psychological and spiritual and physical. Islam is one of the religions; it is the second religion in the world in terms of the number of followers after Christianity. The people should know the moralities of Islam. In my research I would focus on Prophet Mohammed, meaning of Islam and women in Islam.
First, when Prophet Muhammad was born, the Islam light was born with him. He is Mohammed Ibn Abdullah Ibn Abdalmuttalib Ibn Hashim. He was born in 570 A.D in Mecca. His father Abdullah died before Prophet Mohammed was born. He is a teacher for Muslims people after the Holy Quran. According to Kazmi, Prophet Muhammad knows about him the moral behavior, tolerance, brotherhood in natural social and antiracism. Also, no one should abuse and harassment of people, and realize that all human beings are God's family, who is the creator and sustainer of everything (2009). Prophet Mohammed deal with people in equal. He did not differentiate between rich or poor and black or white. According to some Hadlth shows us the morality of Prophet Mohammed, "Abu Shurayh Khulayd b. 'Amar al-Ansäri al-Khuzâ'i (d. 68/687) reported that the Prophet (peace be on him) thrice repeated:'"By Allah, he is not a behever, by Allah, he is not a believer, by Allah, he is not a believer!" the companions asked, "who? O Messenger of Allah!" the Prophet (peace be on him) replied, "the one with whom his neighbours are not secure"' (Kazmi,2009). Also," 'Abd Allah b. 'Amar (d. 65/684) reported that the Prophet (peace be on him) stated: '"Show mercy to those on earth so that He Vi^ho is in heavens will have mercy on you"' (Kazmi,2009). Prophet Mo...

...). Prophet Mohammed was concerned about a human right especially women and kids right. There are a lot of Hadith prophet Mohammed describe the women right. According to Kazmi, "Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace be on him) said, 'The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in moral excellence, and the best of you are those who are the best in their behaviour with their wives" (2009).
In concoction, that is short information about Islam. The God created human to worship one God no partner with him. Like what I mentioned, Islam is last religion and it propagates quickly. Muslim people believe in one God, one Holy book and last prophet. Islam religion respects the women and gives them rights like men. Islam is religion humanity and morality. Prophet Mohammed, meaning of Islam and women in Islam are three main points for my research.

  • A Thesis About Muhhammed

    1837 Words  | 4 Pages

    In seventh century Arabia, women barely had any rights and were ranked much lower than men in society. Muhammed started respecting women at a very young age. Growing up without a father, he even understood at the age of eight how much his mother sacrificed to raise him and all she did for him until she passed away. Respecting women at that time was a different outlook because typically boys would only look up to their fathers. In fact, Muhammed supported equal rights for women so much that he was recorded to say “Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers” in other words he encouraged equal and fair treatment of women (Halsall, Paul). Muhammed had such a strong belief in women equality that he counseled Muslim men on how to treat their wives, and even told these men that "It is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have right over you" (Halsall, Paul). Based on these quotations, one can assume that Muhammed was not afraid to blatantly state that women were equal as men and was also not afraid to encourage everyone else to do the same. Just from simply spreading his word and his faith, Muhammed was able to change it from a time where girls were legally allowed to be killed in times of scarcity and practically had no rights to a new era, where women could own property, marry who they want, divorce

  • Islam: Its History, Sects, and Pillars

    2993 Words  | 6 Pages

    Islam is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion alongside Judaism and Christianity. It is currently the second largest religion in the world today. Its beliefs come from the Qur'an which literally means "the recitation" which is believed to be a literal transcription of the word of God. Its main prophet is named Muhammad who began Islam by speaking with the angel Gabriel in a cave during his meditation and then acting as an instrument of God to help write the Qur’an. Muhammad then spread Islam to the scattered tribes of Arabia by becoming the leader of Yathrib and using his wonderful leadership abilities to then grow his influence over virtually all of Arabia. Muhammad is known by Muslims to be the seal of the profits because no profits after Muhammad should be considered legitimate. Muhammad also left behind the Hadith or “tradition” which is a collection of writings compiled of reports of Muhammad’s actions as leader of Yathrib. These reports are used as a more specific code of ethics in day to day life and from these reports the 5 Pillars of Islam are derived (Smith 160). Although Islam shares many similarities to Judaism and Christianity it is often viewed in the US with hate derived from preconceived notions following the attack on September 11th 2001. This paper seeks to provide an overview of Islam’s history as well as its two major sects and 5 main pillars to remove preconceived notions and provide a glance into the minds of the Islamic people.

  • The Misconceptions About Women in Islam

    1311 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Islam women are given many rights, such as owning properties, having an education, working, and marrying who she wants. In the Holy book, the Qu’ran, it explains that women are allowed to own inheritance or properties. However, it is less than, for instance, the brother of a woman, because when she marries she can combine her inheritance with her husbands. “…a male shall have as much as the share of two females; but if their be females only, numbering more than two, then they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased leave; and if there be one, she shall have half.” (4:12, Qu’ran). Having an education is very important to the religion of Islam; and Islam deeply encourages it. There are also a great deal of criticism about women and marriage and how she is forced to marry whoever the woman’s parents want but that is not true. In the Qu’ran it states in chapter 4 verse 20 that “It is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will, nor should you detain them wrongfully that you may take away part of that which you have given them,” The religion is on the side of a woman just as much as a ...
