Children go to the madrassah where they are taught about Islam; mixing with other children and Muslims helps the children reinforce their belief Children are taught to pray, to read Qur'an and are taken to the mosque; practising salah regularly reminds children the Allah exists Children copy their parents so will believe Allah exists Kitan- boys are circumcised Muslim Upbringing Aqiqa- 7 days after birth the baby is named; names constantly remind the child they're Muslims and must live up to their name At about 4 years old children begin their formal education about Islam; at a young age they begin to learn about Islam to shape them up as better Muslim adults Head of the family whispers the adhan in the right ear and the Iqamah in the left; the first thing the child hears is the foundation of Islam “ there is no God but Allah” Religious experience and belief in Allah Conversion When your life is changed by giving yourself to Allah Miracle Something that happens that seems to break the law of science and makes you think that only Allah could have done it Numinous The feeling of the presence of something greater than you Community celebration of festivals Influence from TV Visiting a mosque or a Muslim country Meeting with a Muslim, who tells them about their faith A miracle experiences which could lead to believe in Allah Numinous experiences An answered prayer Reading a book or an article about Islam The design argument and belief in Allah Some people argue that the complex nature of the world supports belief in Allah The world is so well ordered and everything is balanced to sustain life The world is so beautiful with complex, interdepend ent parts making a whole This complex world must have therefore been designed If it is designed it must have a designer Everything made has a purpose The only thing powerful enough to deign the universe is Allah So Allah must exist! The causation argument and belief in Allah A diamond is a natural stone made by carbon being compressed over hundreds of years. They are mined then cut and polished to make jewellery. Can you trace a diamond back to its source? Nothing can happen by itself Everything that happens has to be caused by something else So the universe cannot have simply happened by iteself A very powerful force must have caused the universe as it is so great Only a Allah is great enough to be the cause Everything made has a beginning This means Allah must exist Science and how it may cause non-belief in Allah Agnosticism Not being sure whether Allah exists Atheism Believing that Allah does not exist The Big Bang Scientific explanations of the origins of the world can lead people to doubt the existence of Allah Muslims believe the universe was created by Allah Some Muslims believe that the world is so beautiful and mysterious that there must have been a power behind its beginning, and that must be Allah. It could not have happened randomly Prayer: An attempt to contact Allah, usually through words Omni-benevolent: The belief that Allah is all-good Omnipotent: The belief that Allah is all-powerful Omniscient: The belief that Allah knows everything that has happened and everything that is going to happen Atheists argue that if Allah existed, then surely he would answer everyone's prayers; and help people that are suffering. Allah is omnipotent and has control over everything Allah is omniscient and knows what’s best for us Allah is Omnibenevolent and cares for us This life is a test and not getting the answers we want is part of that test Natural evil- things that cause suffering but have nothing to do with humans. Moral evil- actions done by humans that cause suffering If Allah is omniscient he would know how to remove the causes of suffering If Allah is benevolent he would not want people to suffer and would remove the causes of suffering Therefore as suffering and evil exist: Allah must not be omniscient, benevolent omnipotent; or he doesn't exists Allah is Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent and Omniscient Free will: The idea that human beings are free to make their own choices Life is a test and Man can suffering is part misuse his free of that test. will and cause Passing the test is suffering to rewarded after Man can use his free others death will to help those who suffer Allah has a plan for everything and we should trust him Muslims believe that they will be judged on the way they used the world that Allah entrusted to them ‘’On no soul does God place a burden greater than it can bear’ (Surah 2) Muslims believe that Allah has commanded them to care for the world and has given them free will to make their own choices Belonging to a particular Religion is the only reason why some people are discriminated against… to the point of death Other documentaries portrays that having faith and believing in God should be encouraged. Rasheed is able to find peace and safety within Islamic belief.
