Jesus, Messiah, Christianity Jesus,Jews, Crucifixion Judaism, Christianity, Abraham BRIEF INTRODUCTION ISLAM Islam, is a major world religion (2nd Largest in the world) promulgated by the Prophet Muhammad in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century CE. The Arabic term Islam, literally means ―surrender,‖ illuminates the fundamental religious idea of Islam—that the believer (called a Muslim, from the active particle of Islam) accepts surrender to the will of Allah (in Arabic, Allāh: God). Allah is viewed as the sole God—creator, sustainer, and restorer of the world. The will of Allah, to which human beings must submit, is made known through the sacred scriptures, the Qurʾān (often spelled Koran/Quran in English), which Allah revealed to his messenger, Muhammad. Islam is usually symbolized today by a crescent moon and a star though Muslims hold no sacred meanings behind it. (Source: Brittanica.com) In this module, we will discuss the brief history of Islam and its foundation, its core teachings and have an insider look on how Muslims lives within their faith as the follower of God. 6 DISCUSSIONS Lesson The Foundations of 1 Islam Legacy of Mohammed Islam was founded by Prophet Muhammad. (Mohammed). The meaning of the word ―Islam‖ means "surrender" to the will of God. The fundamental belief of Islam is mentioned in the article of faith which says, "There is no God, but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.‖ The followers of Islam are Great Mosque at Damascus (Source: Khan Academy. R Lewis called Muslims. As one of the Abrahamic religions, they also recognized the Judeo-Christian figures like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus who they believe were significant prophets before Muhammad. Great Mosque at Damascus (Source: Khan Academy. R Lewis Muhammad was born in 570 C.E. in Mecca, and his early life was unremarkable. He married his employer, Khadija, a wealthy widow who was 15 years older than him. Approximately, around 610 C.E., Muhammad‘s religious calling began when he was instructed to recite by the Angel Gabriel. Later on, the collection of Muhammad‘s divine recitations developed into what the Muslims believe as their sacred book, the Qur‘an. The appearance of Angel Gabriel signals his mission to become a prophet but just like other prophet he was adamant in accepting his role. After much reflection and self-doubt, he eventually accepted his role as God‘s prophet and began to preach the word of the one God, or Allah in Arabic. His first convert was his wife.( https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ap-art-history/introduction-cultures- religions-apah/islam-apah). Unfortunately, the revelations are monotheistic in form and substance 7 hence a contradiction to the faith-belief of the tribe (the Quraysh), which Muhammad was a part of. As a result, the early Muslims faced significant persecution. Eventually, due to the pressure of persecution Muhammad and his followers fled to Mecca towards the city of Yathrib, which is known as Medina today. This event is known as the Hijra, or emigration. This event marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar which is still being used until today. Known to many, the Ka‘ba or Kaaba, is the place where the Muslims travel at least once in their lifetime to follow one of the Five pillars of Islam. Before Muhammad, Kaaba was a major site of pilgrimage for the polytheistic religious traditions of the Arabian Peninsula and contained numerous idols of pagan gods. Since Muhammad founded a monotheistic religion, he does away all the images, idols and pagan gods and transformed Ka‘ba of what it is today, the most important center of pilgrimage in Islam. The Ka‘ba is believed to have been built by Abraham (or Ibrahim as he is known in Arabic) and his son, Ishmael. Ismael was the half- brother of Isaac, whose mother was Sarah, the wife of Abraham. Isaac was the ancestor of the Christians while Ismael, the son of Abraham from his maid Hagar, was believed to be the ancestor of the Muslims. In Medina, his preaching was soon accepted, and the community of Islam grew in numbers. In its early period of development, Islam instilled an important ethics; ― A religion that unites both the spiritual and temporal aspects of life and seeking to regulate not only the individual‘s relationship to God but human relationships in a social setting as well. Thus, there is not only an Islamic religious institution but also an Islamic law, state, and other institutions governing society (https://books.google.com.ph/). The Five Pillars of Islam Many aspects of religious practice in Islam emerged and were codified after its expansion. The Five Pillars are comparable to the Ten Commandments of Judaism and the Christians. Islam which literally means "submission", is based on the tenet that are known as the Five Pillars, to which all members of the Islamic community, should adhere. 1. The Profession of Faith— the Shahada The Profession of Faith, the shahada, is the most basic expression of 8 Islamic beliefs. It means, ―There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.‖ The faith-statement is a departure from the faith-belief of the polytheistic tribe (the Quraysh) whom Muhammad belonged before he founded his own religion. 2. Daily Prayers—Salat/Salah It is the duty of the Muslims to pray five times a day. They don‘t need to pray inside the mosque rather, the salat/salah, can be done anywhere; however, they are meant to pray towards Mecca. On Friday, many Muslims attend a mosque near midday to pray and to listen to a sermon, khutba. 3. Alms-Giving—Zakat The giving of alms is the third pillar. This is the heart of every religion. Its existence is always for the benefits of the less fortunate brethren not only in their fold but even outside of their faith. Muslims believe that wealth is public in nature and therefore is to be shared specially to those who are in the marginalized sector of the society. 4. Fasting during Ramadan—Saum Ramadan is celebrated anywhere in the world by Muslims. In the Philippines it is marked as one of the major holidays of the year. During the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, Muslims are expected to fast from 6:00am to 6:00pm although it varies from country to country. They are expected to refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours except for the elderly, the sick and pregnant women. 5. Pilgrimage to Mecca—Hajj All Muslims who are able are required to make the pilgrimage to Mecca and the surrounding holy sites at least once in their lives. Pilgrimage focuses on visiting the Kaaba and walking around it seven times. Pilgrimage occurs in the 12th month of the Islamic Calendar.(https://boogle.com.ph) Sacred Places and Days The most sacred place for Muslims is the Kaʿbah (Kaaba) sanctuary at Mecca, the object of the annual pilgrimage. It is much more than a mosque; it is believed to be the place where the heavenly bliss and power touches the earth directly ( https://www.britannica.com/topic/Islam/Prayer). As mentioned earlier, the Ka‘bah was built by Abraham and his son Ismael. 9 The Mosque The general religious life of Muslims is centered on the mosque. Back in the days the mosque was the center of all community life, and it remains so in many parts of the Islamic world to this day. Imams (one who administers the prayer service) are in-charge of supervising small mosques, like their Christian counterparts, the Priests. Most mosques are private and are run by the local community, although increasingly some of the larger ones have been managed by the government specially in Western Asia. Holy days The Muslim calendar (based on the lunar year) dates from the emigration (hijrah) of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina in 622. The two festive days in the year are the Eids (ʿīds), Eid al-Fitr, which celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha (the feast of sacrifice), which marks the end of the hajj. Because of the crowds, Eid prayers are offered either in very large mosques or on specially consecrated grounds.

You also somehow have a peek of what life is revolving around the faith and doctrines of Islam. How their beliefs impacted their way of living and how traditions shape their entire Muslim community. In this module, we will continue our discussion on Islam to advance your understanding in its general divisions, and common contemporary issues 16  DISCUSSIONS Lesson Islam Secularization and 2 the Muslim World Today Islam Sectarianism (Brief History) Despite the efforts of Prophet Muhammad to unify all differences within the Muslim community, but it arose immediately after his death. There are two major warring factions that ignited divisions for centuries. First are the Sunni—the traditionalist faction whose followers now constitute the majority of Islam followers. There was no successor designated by prophet Muhammad hence the Muslims at Medina decided to elect a chief. Two of Muhammad‘s fathers-in-law, who were highly respected early converts as well as trusted lieutenants, prevailed upon the Medinans to elect a leader who would be accepted by the Quraysh, Muhammad‘s tribe, and the choice fell upon Abū Bakr, father of the Prophet‘s favored wife, ʿĀʾishah. All of this occurred before the Prophet‘s burial. The other faction is the Shiʿah (Shiite or Shia). This group claimed that the Prophet had designated as his successor his son-in-law ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, husband of his daughter Fāṭimah and father of his only surviving grandsons, Ḥasan and Ḥusayn. His preference was a general knowledge to the Muslim community. (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Islam/Theology-and- sectarianism). Yet, while ʿAlī and the Prophet‘s closest kinsmen were preparing the body for burial, Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, and Abū ʿUbaydah, from Muhammad‘s companions in the Quraysh tribe, met with the leaders of the Medinans and agreed to elect the aging Abū Bakr as the successor (khalīfah, hence ―caliph‖) of the Prophet. His son-in-law, Ali was unhappy of the result but agreed to give-in to the agreement for the sake of unity. At that time Ali was still very young. After the murder of ʿUthmān, the third caliph, ʿAlī was invited by the Muslims at Medina to accept the caliphate. Thus, ʿAli became the fourth caliph in 656–661, but the disagreement over his right of succession brought about a major schism in Islam, between the Shiʿah—those loyal to ʿAlī—and the Sunni. At the onset, the differences between the Sunnis and the Shi’tes were primarily political (question of leadership,) 17 but significant differences about theological interpretations developed over time. Today, about 85 percent of the approximately 1.6 billion Muslims around the world are Sunni, while 15 percent are Shia, according to an estimate by the Council on Foreign Relations. While Shia represent the majority of the population in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain and Azerbaijan, and a plurality in Lebanon, Sunnis are the majority in more than 40 other countries, from Morocco to Indonesia (https://lstcccme.wordpress.com/category/sunni/). The Sunni –Shia divide into the 21st Century For centuries, the rift between the two major warring factions had deepened. There were three major events that contributed to worsening relationships: 1) The rise of Shia-Sunni map Reprinted from 'The Shia Revival' by Vali Nasr. Copyright the Safavid dynasty in the 16th century. 2) In 2006 by Vali Nasr. With permission of the publisher, W.W. Norton & Co. the early 20th century, the victorious allies divided the territory held by the former Ottoman Empire after World War I, cutting through centuries-old religious and ethnic communities in the process. 3) Finally, in 1979, the Islamic Revolution in Iran produced a radical Shia Islam warry of traditional Sunni Muslim in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere even until today. The regional divide produced fundamentalists on both sides with intensified conflicts in the early 21st century, especially during the period of two Persian Gulf Wars. Chaos was all over the region when U.S.-backed ouster of Saddam Hussein‘s Sunni regime in Iraq was successfully carried out. It was followed in the succeeding years by the mass uprisings in the Arab world that began with the Arab Spring in 2011. Civil war in Syria, fighting in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere, and terrorist violence initiated by either side. A common thread in most of these conflicts is the ongoing battle between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran for influence in the oil-rich Middle East and surrounding regions. Despite the long-running nature of the Sunni-Shia divide, the fact that the two sects coexisted in relative peace for many centuries suggest their struggles may have less to do with religion than with wealth and power. (https://www.scribd.com/document/444682567/Schism-docx). 18  (The Muslim World Today At present, Islam is believed to be the world‘s fastest growing religion. Muslims are loyal to the divine word of the Quran, and do their best to live according to the sharī‘ah and ritual practices. During the twentieth century, Islam had played an important role in the development of nation states in the Islamic world. In the last few decades certain groups have begun interpreting Islam as a transnational ideology in ways that undermine the nation state https://pluralism.org/resurgence-and-migration-the-muslim-world-today). Muslims of every sect, nationality, and school of jurisprudence are represented in regions throughout the world, together creating the faith. Here in the Philippines, Muslims blend easily with other faith dominations and very visible in almost every towns and provinces mostly engage in businesses. This pluralization is a welcome development specially that efforts for interreligious dialogues and unity. These are initiated mostly by religious representatives across different religions and denominations with continuing initiative within and outside their faith. Despite the political, social, cultural, economic and other challenges faced by Muslims today the ―Muslim world‖ continues to expand; Islam is the world‘s fastest growing religion as mentioned earlier. The adage, ―Islam is one, Muslims are many‖ is clear‖.
