Islam

A Muslim (Arabic ????? pronounced Muslim, not Muzlim) is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form is Muslimah^[1] (Arabic ??????). Literally, the word means "one who submits (to God)". Muslim is the participle of the same verb of which Islam is the infinitive.^[2] Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims believe that Islam existed long before Muhammad and that the religion had evolved with time from the time of Adam until the time of Muhammad and was completed with the revelation of verse 3 of Surah al-Maeda

The Qur'an describes many Biblical prophets and messengers as Muslim Adam, Noah (Arabic Nuh), Moses (Arabic Musa) and Jesus (Arabic ?Isa) and his apostles. The Qur'an states that these men were Muslims because they submitted to God, preached his message and upheld his values. Thus, in Surah 352 of the Qur'an, Jesus’ disciples tell Jesus, "We believe in God; and you be our witness that we submit and obey (wa ashahadu bil-muslimuna)."

Most Muslims consider making ritual prayer five times a day a religious duty (fard) (see the section on Isma?ilis below for exceptions); these five prayers are known as fajr, dhuhr, ?asr, maghrib and ?isha'. There is also a special Friday prayer called jumu?ah. Currently, the number of Muslims is estimated to be 1.3 billion.

2. Obama's Not Muslim. Internet Marketing and Public Curiosity Play Major Roles In Election. November 12, 2008 I wrote an article for American Chronicle before the end of the election titled "The Politics of Paid Search - Combatting the Obama and Palin Rumors". In it, I discussed how Obama's camp did a far better job squelching the rumors largely spread via e-mail proclaiming many unsavory "facts" about the various candidates. As I've continued to see interest in this topic, I decided to dive deeper and see why people have spent so much time discussing how the Internet was utilized in this campaign.One of the most prevailing rumors spread via email was that Obama was a muslim.

11. Islam for a Muslim girl October 08, 2008 When I was a small girl, my mother had appointed a tutor to teach us Islamic knowledge so that we could have both religious as well as modern education. With the education that we get from school, I also got to know Islam and the five pillars of Islam. Since then for me Islam is submission to the will of God and obedience to His law. "Allah" is God, the self sufficient. He begets not nor is he begotten and there is none like "Allah". Whatever is in the heavens and on earth glorifies God, for, he is the mighty, the wise. To him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. It is... (read more) Author: Seema Parween

13. ETIQUETTE FOR EATING AND DRINKING: October 07, 2008 A Muslim has a lot of importance attached to what he or she eats or drinks. He wants to know the source from where it came from, whether it is from a pure source or not. He eats, not for the pleasure of eating, but simply because he must eat to maintain a healthy body so that he can worship Allah, his maker. This, he believes is (i.e. the worship of Allah) what qualifies him for the life after, where he hopes to have eternal happiness. Therefore, if he is not hungry, he does not eat, if he is not thirsty, he does not drink. As written by Allah’s messenger (SAW) “We are a people who do not eat ... (read more) Author: Eze ThankGod

22. That Veil Thing September 09, 2008 By Sumbul Ali-Karamali Author of The Muslim Next Door Recently, Roqaya Al-Gassra from Bahrain competed in the Beijing Olympics wearing a head scarf and a full-length suit. I was surprised that her running gear did not occasion more comment. But if wearing a modest track suit allows her to compete in a sport that she wouldn't otherwise feel comfortable competing in, I think that's wonderful. I've already seen posts from several Muslim women cheering her on for solidarity's sake, and I empathize. But I'm left feeling vaguely troubled, because in all the discussions about Muslim head-scarve... (read more) Author: FSB Authors

24. Xinjiang Plays World Human Rights Stepchild to Rock Star Tibet August 21, 2008 While Tibet has played the role of China's "rock star" to human rights activists around the world, China's Xinjiang Province has been treated more like an unwanted stepchild. One reason is that Tibet has a true rock star in the exiled Dalai Lama. Another reason is that the strife in Xinjiang involves Muslim ethnic minorities with alleged ties to the most hated man in the Western world -- Osama Bin Laden. All of this, however, is simply unfair because what is happening in Xinjiang in terms of human rights violations may be even worse than the Tibetan repression. Xinjiang is China's larg...
