Answer 2

The basic beliefs are very similar to those of Judaism. They believe in Abraham and Isaac as prophets of God whom they call Allah (this is not his name, it is mearly the word God in ancient Arabic).

The do not believe that Jacob was the chosen prophet of God however as the Jews do. They feel that the birthright that Jacob got when he sold a bowl of soup to his older brother Esau was a false deal, a negated contract basically abusing his position and that of his older brother. When he realized later what he had done, Esau complained to their father Isaac, but he would hear none of it. Jacob had been Isaac's favorite all along and Isaac felt that he had been stupid to give up his birthright for a bowl of soup.

So Jews follow the lineage of Jacob while in the line of his eldest brother Esau the prophet Mohammed was born. The acknowledge the first 5 books of the bible as gospel but they then follow the books of Mohammed the Quran. He wandered in the desert for many years, a fugitive from evil kings and sheiks writting and teaching as he went the things he had seen and visions God had sent him.

The main difference between the Jewish system and the Muslim system is a set of laws passed down to Mohammed in a vision that were to supercede the 10 commandments. They include laws about marriage, and how criminals are to be dealt with. They also include laws that we usually find barbaric these days but deal with heretics and other "deviants". At the time these laws were in line with most religious laws including those of the Jewish world. This is where Muslims get the idea that they should kill for their faith. Heretics, those that are not Muslim, are to be stoned to death. Those found teaching other faiths are to be burned at the stake.

Answer 3

They believe in the teachings of Muhamad and the Koran. (They spell both differently). Basicly an instruction on every aspect of life from diet to dress to behavior.
No way to explain all of this complicated and involved religion and all the sub sects beliefs in a few sentences.
There is a evangelical aspect to the religion and a belief that theirs is the ONLY way to believe. Mostly a non violent creed, but interpreted violently by some.

Answer 4

In the Islamic faith, we are required
to pray five times a day. Before prayer every Muslim
is to wash themselves. Every time we pray, we face
Mecca and have a ritual way of movement. I like the
prayers because I know when the call to prayer leaves
the tall minaret at the top of our mosque, all the
other Muslims are prepping themselves for prayer. This
is one part I will not question. I know for a fact,
five times a day, my people will pray.

In my faith, there is something called
the five pillars or Islam. They are faith, prayer,
almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage. They are
basically the rules and regulations of an Islamic
follower.

The first pillar, faith, requires you
recite the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of
faith. In front of a group of other Muslims, you must
rise and start by saying “I testify” then move on to
saying “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the
Prophet of Allah.” After reciting this three times, a
person is considered a true Muslim. I think that this
is a good thing, because it is a declaration and there
is no question about it.

The second pillar is prayer, five times
a day, every good Muslim will pray. A person can pray
as often as they wish, but five times a day is the
required minimum. Prayers take place throughout the
course of one day. The first happens shortly after
dawn and the rest are at noon, late afternoon, after
sunset, and in the early hours of night. Before
prayer, every Muslim will go to a fountain or a place
where water is supplied, and wash themselves. I like
having to pray five times a day it’s a very relaxing
time, opposed to my other hectic schedule.

Our third pillar is almsgiving. This
just means that you help the poor, or anyone who may
need assistance. I recently donated some of my money
to support the poor and to support the orphans. I like
this pillar because it helps people and makes me feel
better about myself for helping.

The fourth pillar of Islam is
pilgrimage. At least once in a person’s life, if
possible, every Muslim is required to take a trip to
Mecca, which takes place two months after Ramadan. My
people all travel to the place where Muhammad had his
first revelation. I went years ago and it is an
amazing opportunity. Everyone is dressed in white and
it is just a sea of people praying.

The fifth pillar of is Islam is
fasting. People of my culture must fast during the
month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the
Muslim year. It is the time in which Allah revealed
himself to Muhammad. We are allowed to eat at times,
we just may not eat when the sun is in the sky. This
applies to every Muslim except for the sick, young, or
travelers. The point of fasting is to bring people
closer to god. I don’t really like this time because
it is hard for me to go almost an entire day without
food. I know it is for a good reason though, that is
why I practice it.

well this is a research papaer I wrote this year, well a part of it atleast, I was playing the role of Al-Farabi a famous Muslim philosopher. Thats why its all in first person...hope you got the main idea.

Answer 7

It varies; Shiite, Sunni, Malakite, Sufi, Ahmaddiya, Kharajite, Hanofite, Shafiite, Haubilite. Islam is as varied as is Christianity.

Answer 8

Dear Suenos,

That is a very difficult question, as different sects of Islam may interpret the Koran differently. If you wish to know, type in to Google "Sunni" or "Shia" (two main branches), and read the Koran.

Answer 9

Get a copy fo the Qur'an ... I did, 'cause I was curious. Saying that Muslims kill in the name of Allah is like saying Protestants and Catholics kill in the name of God ... which, ironically, has happened many, many times in past history.

Answer 10

That is a great question. I think what we see and hear on the news is twisted, but the terrorists who do their deeds in the name of Allah might be surprised when they meet Him face to face in the after life.
