The Religion of Islam By: Devon Bassett, Jose Perez, Danielle Brown, Davinia Givens, Josefina Valdez, Marcus Flanagan Islam • Religion that reaches into all aspects of life. Origins Birth of Islam- 622 A.D. Arabia/ city of Mecca Started by Muhammad the prophet Conflicts Due to Religious Perspectives Islam forbids the creation of denominations in the religion. People have done this anyway and created conflict between Muslims. It is considered a bad thing to call a Muslim a Bid' Atee, Mushrik, or Kafir (nonMuslim). Conflicts Due to Religious Perspectives: The Shia-Sunni Split The Shia and Sunni disagreed on who was going to succeed Muhammad. Shia thought family member should succeed Muhammad. The Sunnis prevailed. Sunnis wanted to choose leader to the Muslim community. But the groups are still separated today. Islamic Places of Worship Mosques The Mother Mosque of America The city of Mecca The Grand Mosque Attitudes about Wealth How is wealth earned? * Money is earned by one's own hard work or inheritance. * Not by gambling, the lottery, fraud, and burglary. Attitudes about Wealth How is wealth spent? *Wealth can be shared by their family, relatives, and poor people. The main reason for giving to Zakaah is that it bridges the gap between the rich and the poor. Attitudes about Wealth Another reason for sharing the money is that it will help a person accept their wealth. By developing their character in order to remove selfishness and helps them feel good about their wealth. Attitudes About Social Responsibility • The Islamic State or commonwealth developed slowly. • Muhammad led his people to a better and healthier life. • Instead of being a peninsula of mutually raiding tribes. • Today our New World is helping to lift the dead hand. Attitudes About Social Responsibility. • Islam had become commonwealth. • Islam also has raised new standards. Separation of Church and State Don't interfere with others affairs Citizenship rather than religion should be the basis to a state Other faiths may feel alienated Was becoming a problem over time Present conflicts in progress of state Prophets Adam the first man Noah built an arc Jesus a great messenger Separation of church and state Islam is divided into Sunnites and Shiites.
