Muslim believe that Allah is Transcendent—this means that he is separate or beyond me and space. Muslims believe he must be Transcendent as he created the Universe and therefore must be outside of it. Muslims believe that Allah is All –Powerful, All– Knowing and Merciful. All‐Powerful: This means that Allah can do anything and everything. This is one reason why Muslims pray, they believe Allah is Immanent, this means he is acve in the world. All– Knowing: Muslims believe Allah knows everything people do and think. This means that at Judgement Day humans will be responsible for all the acons they have taken in their lives. Merciful: Muslims believe that Allah forgives those who are truly sorry for their deeds. Muslims can apologise to Allah (and because he is All‐Knowing he will know if they really mean it). Muslims may visit Mount Arafat whilst on Hajj to apologise. Mt Arafat is where Muslims believe Judgement Day will take place. Muslims believe that humans can never fully understand God as he is beyond human intelligence. They believe that they can try to understand Allah via the Risalah though.

This is because he is the last Prophet and has been given the final revelaon of Allah’s word. Revelaon means ‘to show’ or ‘reveal’. He is known as the last and greatest of the Prophets. Early Life: Muhammad was born around 570 CE. His father Abdullah died before he was born, and his mother died when he was only 6 years old, so he was brought up by his Grandfather. When he was 8 his Grandfather died. Muhammad was taken in by his Uncle Abu Talib and spent his childhood helping him in his job on the caravans (transporng goods across the desert). He was known for his honesty and goodness. Marriage: When he was 25, a rich merchant’s widow called Khadijah asked him to marry her. She was 40 and they had 3 sons who died in infancy and 4 daughters who survived. They were married for 25 years. Muhammad lived in Mecca, a wealthy trading city which was very corrupt and cruel. The rich oppressed the poor which then turned to gambling, drinking and fighng which seemed only to make them unhappy. They worshipped many gods whom they tried to please with sacrifices, they believed that this was good luck and to upset these gods was bad luck. Muhammad was sure that this was the wrong way to try to be happy. Receiving the Qur’an: Muhammad used to meditate. When he was mediang in a cave on Mount Hira outside Mecca around 610 CE he had an experience that changed his life. Carrying a book, Jibril commanded him to “read.” Muhammad refused the order twice before finally asking about what he was supposed to read. Jibril replied with following verses of the Qur’an: Read [O Muhammad!] in the name of your Lord who created. (96.1) He created man from a clot. (96.2) Read, and your Lord is the Most Honorable (96.3) who taught with the pen. (96.4) The Hijrah …. And because Muhammad's popularity was seen as threatening by the people in power in Mecca. Muhammad’s followers were tortured and treated badly and so Muhammad took his followers on a journey from Mecca to Medina in 622. This journey is called the Hijrah (migraon) and the event was seen as so important for Islam that 622 is the year in which the Islamic calendar begins. The return to Mecca: Within ten years Muhammad had gained so many followers that he was able to return and conquer Mecca. From this me on he was generally accepted by the faithful as the true final Prophet of God. He received verses from the Qur’an unl the end of his life. Muhammad connued to lead his community both spiritually and in earthly maers unl his death in 632 CE His Character: Losing his mother at a young age and being put to work early in his childhood made him strong, determined, paent and responsible. He was courageous, honest and trustworthy and was extremely self‐disciplined. These are characteriscs needed for a prophet; especially one that would have the responsibility of delivering the final word of Allah, word that would not be corrupted. His message was that there was NO God but Allah. Muhammad the leader: Muslims claim that Prophet Muhammad was the greatest polical and religious leader of all me managing to combined both roles perfectly. He allowed religious freedom, gave women rights and cared for the sick and elderly. He inspired the spread of Islam and there are now 1.3 billion Muslims in the world. Homework C Instrucons . Set date: Check date: Muhammad the individual: Perfect example to others. He was an ordinary man and therefore his example is aainable; we can all be like Muhammad. Being a prophet is not easy, it comes with hardships (i.e. persecuon, doubt and ridicule) but Muhammad through, paence, convicon and true belief in God and submission to God’s will, Muhammad overcame these hardships and we can do the same in our lives. Muhammad strove to make his community a beer place and put his beliefs of equality and jusce into acon e.g. appoinng the first prayer caller who was a black man named Bilal. Muhammad the family man: Muhammad the teacher: Muhammad was the ulmate family man. There is a theme in the He not only taught how a Qur’an about good fathers e.g. Adam, Noah, Lut, Jacob, Ibrahim Muslim should live their life, but and then Muhammad.

THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY. JERUSALEM PROPHETS AND PROGENITORS IN THE EARLY SHI'ATRADITION* Uri Rubin INTRODUCTION As is well known, the Shi 'I belief that 'Ali' should have been Muhammad's succes- sor was based on the principle of hereditary Califate, or rather Imamate. 'Ali's father, Abu Talib, and Muhammad's father, 'Abdallah, were brothers, so that Muhammad and 'Ali were first cousins. Since the Prophet himself left no sons, the Shi 'a regarded' All as his only rightful successor.' Several Shi 'I traditions proclaim 'All's family relationship (qariiba) to Muhammad as the basis for his hereditary rights. For the sake of brevity we shall only point out some of the earliest.A number of these early Shi T traditions center around the "brothering", i.e. the mu'akhiih which took place after the hijra; this was an agreement by which each emigrant was paired with one of the Ansar and the two, who thus became brothers, were supposed to inherit each other (see Qur'an, IV, 33? 'All, as an exception, was paired not with one of the Ansar but with the Prophet himself." A certain verse in the Qur'an (VIII, 72) was interpreted as stating that the practice of mu iikhiin was confined only to the Muhajinin and the Ansar, to the exclusion of those believers who had stayed back in Mecca after the hijra. They re- tained the old practice of inheritance according to blood-relationship." This prac- tice, which was introduced in al-Madi na, affected the hereditary rights of the families of the Muhajiriin who were supposed to leave their legacy to their Ansari * This article is a revised form of a chapter from my thesis on some aspects of Muhammad's prophethood in the early literature of hadt th.

  • Albanian Contemporary Qur'anic Exegesis: Sheikh
    ALBANIAN CONTEMPORARY QUR’ANIC EXEGESIS: SHEIKH HAFIZ IBRAHIM DALLIU’S COMMENTARY (Tafsir Al-Quran Kontemporari Albania: Ulasan Oleh Sheikh Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu) Hajredin Hoxha1 ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to explore and analyze the main intellectual and religious trends and tendencies in the writings of Albanian Ulema in their dealing with Qur’anic studies, in the modern time, in the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. In conducting this study, the researcher has utilized inductive, historical, critical and analytical methodologies. The Albanian lands in the Balkan Peninsula were governed and ruled by the Islamic Ottoman Empire for almost five centuries. Historically, to some extent and despite the conflicts and clashes, Albanians were able to show to the world a very good sample of peace, unity and harmony among themselves, as a multi religious and multi ethnic society. The attention and the engagement of the Albanian Ulema with the Qur’anic sciences have been tremendous since the spread of Islam, and have to be taken into consideration. Despite the tough and serious political, economic and religious challenges in the 19th and 20th centuries, they were not distracted from conducting their learning and teaching affaires. As a result of very close contacts and relations with different ideologies, cultures and civilizations within the Ottoman mixed ethnicity and in the middle-east, the researcher based on different sources, was able to identify and discover Sunni Maturidi dogmatic approach in dealing with Quranic Exegesis in the Commentary of Sheikh Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu-a case study. The results and conclusions of this study are to be taken into consideration also, especially when we know that the current and modern historical sources of Albania are deviated almost completely and not to be trusted at all, because they failed to show to the Albanian people a real picture of Islam.

  • The Story of Prophet Dawud (Alayhi Salaam)
    The story of Prophet Dawud (alayhi salaam) Dawud (as) defeats Jalut The story of Prophet Dawud (as) follows the story of Musa (as). From the story of Prophet Musa (as) we learned how the Banu Israel escaped from Egypt, and were left wandering in the desert around Palestine. Dawud (as) was of the people of Banu Israel. When he was still very young, he joined the army of Banu Israel who were planning to fight the people of Jerusalem so that they could enter the holy land and live there. At that time, the people of Jerusalem were a strong and battle-hardened group of people called the Philistines. The Banu Israel were scared of fighting the Philistines; they had only a few hundred soldiers on their side and the Philistine army had thousands. The leader of the Philistine army was a huge and fiercely strong man called Jalut, or Goliath. The Banu Israel were terrified when they saw Jalut’s strength and size. But Dawud (as) was incredibly brave, even though he was still so young. He stepped forward and said “I will fight Jalut.” The leader of the army said, “You are too young.” He was reluctant to let Dawud (as) fight Jalut and asked his soldiers if anyone else would volunteer. When no one else stepped forward, the leader finally agreed to let Dawud (as) fight Jalut. When Jalut saw Dawud (as) come towards him, he exclaimed “I will not fight such a young and weak boy.” Dawud (as) had no sword or spear, not even a shield.

Muslims will likely soon outnumber Christians. 2. Extremism BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Some people today are afraid of Muslims because they think all Muslims are terrorists who support holy war (jihad) against non-Muslims. • There are different kinds of Muslims (just like different kinds of Christians).4 • Only a very, very small % of the 1.8 billion Muslims are extremists:5 Name Area Strength Al-Qaeda Afghanistan/Pakistan 300–3,000 Hamas Gaza Strip 16,000+ Hezbollah Lebanon 1,000+ ISIS Syria 15,000–20,000 Taliban Northwest Pakistan 25,000 • There are also extreme Christian sects who carry out acts of violence (e.g., Christian Identity, Eastern Lightning, Lord’s Resistance Army, etc.) The first step to telling them about Jesus is that we can’t be afraid of them! 3.

    The Message of the Majestic Quran Summary of Juz 1 1. Surat al-Fatiha In the name of Allah, the Kind, the Caring. 1All praises are for Allah the Lord of the worlds. 2The Kind, the Caring. 3The Controller of Judgement Day. 4We worship You alone and from You alone we seek help. 5Guide us on the straight path: 6the path of those You favoured, not those who are condemned or the misguided ones. 2. Surat al-Baqara The first Juz opens with the Surat al-Baqara revealed over two years in Madinah after the in 622 CE (Common Era). By now two thirds of the Quran had ﷺ migration of the Prophet been revealed in Makkah during a tense situation. In Madinah Muslims faced new challenges: settling down in a new city with Arabs and Jews. The two Arab tribes, the Aus and the Khazraj, both with a long history of rivalry. There were three Jewish tribes, they had moved to Madinah after they were expelled from Jerusalem by the Romans. The Jews were literate, skilled and affluent compared to the Arabs and believed they were “the chosen people”. The surah opens by describing the people of Madinah and dividing them into three groups: the believers, the disbelievers and the hypocrites. The Faithful are described as having firm belief in Allah, the unseen realities and the Hereafter; they pray regularly and give charity generously. The disbelievers have locked minds unwilling to listen. Then follows a section listing the evil habits of hypocrites: deceivers and liars, who mock the believers and make trouble, they are ignorant, misguided, and disorientated.
