Brief Overview of Islam

In the seventh century, Muhammad asserted the holy messenger Gabriel went by him. Amid these saintly appearances, which proceeded for around 23 years until Muhammad's passing, the holy messenger purportedly uncovered to Muhammad the expressions of Allah (the Arabic word for "God" utilized by Muslims). These managed disclosures create the Qur'an, Islam's blessed book. Islam signifies "accommodation," getting from a root word that signifies "peace." The word Muslim signifies "one who submits to Allah."

The Doctrine of Islam

Muslims compress their precept in six articles of confidence:

1. Confidence in one Allah: Muslims trust Allah is one, endless, maker, and sovereign.

2. Confidence in the holy messengers

3. Confidence in the prophets: The prophets incorporate the scriptural prophets yet end with Muhammad as Allah's last prophet.

4. Confidence in the disclosures of Allah: Muslims acknowledge certain parts of the Bible, for example, the Torah and the Gospels. They trust the Qur'an is the previous, consummate expression of Allah.

5. Confidence in the most recent day of judgment and the great beyond: Everyone will be revived for judgment into either heaven or hellfire.

6. Confidence in fate: Muslims trust Allah has announced everything that will happen. Muslims vouch for Allah's power with their continuous expression, inshallah, signifying, "if God wills."

The Five Pillars of Islam

These five principles make the structure out of submission for Muslims:

1. The declaration of confidence (shahada): "la ilaha illa allah. Muhammad rasul Allah." This signifies, "There is no god yet Allah. Muhammad is the flag-bearer of Allah." A man can change over to Islam by expressing this statement of faith. The shahada demonstrates that a Muslim has faith in Allah alone as divinity and trusts that Muhammad uncovers Allah.

2. Supplication (salat): Five custom petitions must be played out each day.

3. Giving (zakat): This almsgiving is a sure rate given once per year.

4. Fasting (sawm): Muslims quick amid Ramadan in the ninth month of the Islamic schedule. They should not eat or drink from day break until dusk.

5. Journey (hajj): If physically and monetarily conceivable, a Muslim must make the journey to Mecca in Saudi Arabia at any rate once. The hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic schedule.

A Muslim's passageway into heaven relies on compliance to these Five Pillars. In any case, Allah may dismiss them. Indeed, even Muhammad didn't know whether Allah would concede him to heaven.

An Evaluation of Islam

Contrasted with Christianity, Islam has a few likenesses yet huge contrasts. Like Christianity, Islam is monotheistic. Nonetheless, Muslims dismiss the Trinity—that God has uncovered Himself as one out of three Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Muslims assert that Jesus was a standout amongst the most critical prophets—not God's Son. Islam attests that Jesus, however conceived of a virgin, was made like Adam. Muslims don't trust Jesus kicked the bucket on the cross. They don't comprehend why Allah would permit His prophet Isa (the Islamic word for "Jesus") to pass on an unbearable demise. However the Bible shows how the passing of the ideal Son of God was basic to pay for the wrongdoings of the world.

Islam shows that the Qur'an is the last specialist and the last disclosure of Allah. The Bible, be that as it may, was finished in the primary century with the Book of Revelation. The Bible cautions against anybody adding to or subtracting from God's Word . The Qur'an, as an asserted expansion to God's Word, specifically defies God's charge.

On account of these basic contrasts and inconsistencies, Islam and Christianity can't both be valid. The Bible and Qur'an can't both be God's Word. Reality has interminable results.

"Adored, don't trust each soul, yet test the spirits to see whether they are from God, on the grounds that numerous false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: each soul that admits that Jesus Christ has come in the substance is from God; and each soul that does not admit Jesus isn't from God; this is the soul of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is as of now on the planet"

Muslims trust that heaven can be earned through keeping the Five Pillars. The Bible, conversely, uncovers that evil man can never measure up to the blessed God. Just by God's beauty may heathens be spared through contrite confidence in Jesus.

What You Should Do Just Before Death

Death is a reality in which all human beings believe. However, it is also a reality which most of us like to keep out of our minds.
In Islam, death is not an end to our existence; it is a passage, which takes us from this world to the hereafter – the actual purpose for our creation and the result of our work in this life. Whether we fear death or not depends on how much we have prepared for the reckoning of the Day of Judgement.
Preparing for death is a lifetime’s job. It begins on the day you reach the age of bulugh and are held accountable for your deeds in the eyes of Almighty Allah. Imam ‘Ali bin Abu Talib (a.s.) has beautifully described the preparation for death as follows: “Fulfilling the obligations, refraining from forbidden [things, and acquiring noble character.”
In this article, I have attempted to present some of the things which all believers are either required or strongly urged to do just before death by the shari’ah.
Before death, try your best to fulfil the obligations, which are upon you in regard to the creatures as well as the Creator
Return to the owners whatever has been given to you as a trust or write it down in your will so that the executor of your will shall return the trust to its rightful owner.
In Islam, you are allowed to dispose up to one-third of your estate for whomsoever or whatever cause you like. As for the two thirds, it must be distributed among your heirs according to the shares allocated for them in the shari’ah.
Make a will in writing or verbally about those religious obligations which you could not fulfil by yourself and which cannot be done on your behalf by others except after your death: the qadha prayers, fasting and pilgrimage (hajj), etc. You should specify the amount from the one-third of your estate to be used to hire people to do such deeds. If you cannot afford this, then you may request your heirs to do unfulfilled rituals on your behalf voluntarily or pay someone else to do so.
It is also recommended, if your financial circumstances allow you, to include your deserving relations in the one-third of your estate.
It is recommended to forgive your brethren in iman for whatever wrong they may have done to you. On the other hand, you should ask your brethren in iman to forgive you for the intentional and unintentional wrong you may have done to them.

MODERN SCIENCE AND ISLAM


ARABS WERE ILLITERATE
The Holy Prophet (salla' llaahu'alaihi wa sallam) did not go to any school. Arabia did not even have a Primary school run by Arabs. The Arabs were proud to be illiterate. They claimed they were born to wield swords and to wield the pen was the job of the merchant class. His uncle and grandfather, who were both uneducated, brought up the Prophet (Salla ‘llahu’ alaihi wa sallam. There was no contact with scholars of the time. Yet, the message that he delivered i.e. the Holy Quraan remains relevant and scientifically correct for all ages. The question is where did he get all the wisdom. Was he a genius?
 
COSMIC STUDY
When he was born, the Greco-Roman civilisation had its influence in the Arabian Peninsula. The cosmogony of Greco-Romans is that the earth is flat and the sky is in the form of a canopy, studded with lamps. This is a myth. On the other side of Arabia, there is Iran and India, the two great seats of culture and civilisation. Both held the same view. China had the same view. The Holy Prophet (salla' llaahu'alaihi wa sallam) did not come to teach Physical Science or Astronomy. But you will find in the Qur’aan, references to different Natural Phenomena to different Scientific problems. In these references you will find the Qur’aan absolutely modern, anti classical and hostile to the ancient thoughts of Mankind in that age. In connection with Cosmogony, the Qur’aan says:


THE SUN MOVES
In modern history of Astronomy, unto Kepler, nobody knew that the sun moves. Until recently students of science were thought that, "the earth moves and the sun is stationary." Then science found, very recently, out the sun is moving constantly in a Horizontal line.
The Qur’aan says this:Yasin  Sura 36 Verse 38

PRINCIPLE OF PARITY
Modern physics also, has the "Principle of Parity"
The Atom is the Fundamental particle of all matter. In 1925 modern physics said that an atom is composed of a pair, male and female i.e. electron and proton. The Neutron is known as the "Marriage Officer", as a joke in scientific circles.
Another fact was that electrical current was unknown in those days. Today we know that the male is positive and the female is negative in electricity.
EMBRYOLOGY
Dr. Keith L. Moore is a Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. He is a world-renowned scientist and a distinguished researcher in the fields of anatomy and embryology; he has published more than 150 research articles, chapters and books in this field. A Muslim scholar, Abdul-Majeed Azzindani contacted Dr. Moore. He was asked to participate in a three-year study of around twenty-five verses of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah (sayings of Muhammad (Salla’llahu’alaihi wa sallam) which speak about embryology, and to determine the their correspondence to modern scientific discoveries.
The Qur’aan and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Salla’llahu’alaihi wa sallam) provide a very detailed description of the microscopic development of the human embryo from a mere sperm drop up to the stage of a completely formed human being. It is well known that microscopes were not developed until the sixteenth century AD, and even at that were very crude in design.
Zacharias Janssen is credited with having invented the compound microscope in about 1590. With it, remarkable scientific discoveries were made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Dutch naturalist Anthony van Leeuwenhoek produced lenses powerful enough to prove that many tiny creatures are not spontaneously generated but come from eggs.
Before this period, theories on human reproduction ran rampant. Some scientist believed that the menstrual blood developed into the foetus.
Later on, a new theory was developed wherein the sperm drop was popularly believed to contain a completely developed miniature human (homunculus) which later grew to the size of a baby. The science of embryology as we know it today did not discover many of the detailed aspects of human development which are taken for granted today until only about thirty years ago, or 1973 to be precise.
Now we must ask the question: where did Muhammad (Salla’llahu’alaihi wa sallam) get such detailed knowledge of the microscopic development of the human embryo in the 6th century AD without a microscope, technical training, a laboratory of any kind, or even the ability to write his own name? The only logical conclusion is that it came from exactly where he claimed it did.  From the one who created mankind, God Almighty!  Prof. Moore has since given numerous lectures on the topic of embryology in the Qur’aan. He is quoted in one of these lectures as saying:
“It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God, or Allah.”
