Slide 11

Allah FALSE Muhammad is revered as Allahs prophet. He is the most recent in a string of prophets to reveal Allahs word. Allah is the term given to the God in Islam and in fact represents the same notion of God that Jews and Christians have.

Slide 12

FALSE The common image of a Muslim is a turbaned dark Arab man with a long beard. However this image is part of the minority of Muslims. Arabs make only 15% of the worlds Muslim population. As a matter of fact the Middle East comes in third with East Asia coming in at first (69%) and Africa (27%) coming in at second. Another common misconception is that all Arabs are Muslims. While the vast majority of Arabs are Muslims (75%), there are many other religions that Arabs practice including Christianity and Judaism.

Slide 13

TRUE Many people are amazed to find out that according to Muslim belief, Jesus is one of the greatest messengers of God. One cannot be a Muslim without believing in the virgin birth and the many miracles of Jesus Christ. Jesus is also mentioned in many verses of the Quran and is often used as an example of good virtue and character. However, the main difference between Christianity and Islam is that Muslims do not believe that Jesus was God.

Slide 14

TRUE The Lunar month of Ramadan is observed by all Muslims as a means of atonement for their sins. During that month, all Muslims are expected to go without food (and excess liquid) from sun up until sundown. They may, however, eat after sundown. Special exceptions are made for the sick, elderly, and young children.

Slide 15

FALSE Islam has always given respect and freedom of religion to all faiths. In the Quran it says God does not forbid you, with regards to those who fight you not for religion nor drive you away out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them, for god loves those who are just. There are many historical examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faith. One such example was when the caliph Umar was ruler of Jerusalem from 634 to 644 AD. He granted freedom to all religious communities and said that the inhabitants of his city were safe and that their places of worship would never be taken away from them. He also set up courts that were designated to the non Muslim minorities. Whenever he would visit holy areas he would ask for the Christian patriarch Sophronius to accompany him.

Slide 16

FALSE Al-Qaeda was founded in 1988 by Osama Bin Laden as a quasi-political organization bent on destroying western powers that were conspiring against Islam. Most of its members are Muslim, but practice an extremist form of Islam that is not consistent with the beliefs of most Muslims. As a group, they choose to depart from the teachings of the Quran and follow their own beliefs in an effort to form a new Islamic empire. The fact that they are almost exclusively Muslim does not make them an Islamic organization any more than the fact that they are mostly right-handed makes them a right-handed organization.

Slide 17

FALSE Children, according to Islamic law, have various rights. One of these is the right to be properly brought up, raised, and educated. Children must also be treated equally. When giving financial gifts they should all be the same amount and there should be no preference among them. Children are even permitted to take moderately from their parents wealth to sustain themselves if the parent declines to give them proper funds for living. A child is also not allowed to get hit in the face or hit by anything larger than a pencil. Islam gave back many human rights to the woman and Muhammad(s) was even reported saying that women are the twin halves of men. A Muslim woman is allowed to reject and accept any suitor for marriage and has the right to seek divorce. There is nothing in Islam that forbids a Muslim woman from exiting her house and they are allowed to drive. Also in regards to education, a woman is obligated to seek knowledge and it is considered a sin if she refuses.

Slide 18

FALSE The true Arabic meaning of the word jihad is struggle. However in Islam it is often used to describe the striving in the way of god. There are many forms of jihad but the most important ones are Jihad al-nafs (jihad against ones self), jihad bil-lisan (jihad by being vocal), jihad bil yad (jihad by using action), and Jihad bis saif (jihad by using the sword). Each jihad is ranked differently and it was reported that Muhammad returned from a battle and said We have returned from the lesser jihad (going into battle) to the greater jihad (the struggle of the soul). This means that a Muslim struggling against himself and his soul is more important than the jihad of going into war. Another misconception is that only when a person dies in war does that person becomes a martyr. This is, however, false and it is believed that anyone doing anything for the sake of god and is killed becomes a martyr. A person who dies while performing pilgrimage in Mecca, a woman who dies while giving birth, or even someone who dies in a car crash while he was on his way to the mosque are all considered martyrs. There is a weak connection in the Hadith that describes the presence of Houris in Heaven. These are described as physically perfect companions.( It was mentioned by Daraj Ibn Abi Hatim, that Abu al-Haytham 'Adullah Ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudhri, who heard Muhammad saying, 'The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy-two houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al- Jabiyyah to San'a.)

Slide 19

FALSE Quite the contrary, when it comes to the conduct of war there are ten rules that every Muslim army must obey: 1. Do not commit treachery 2. Do not deviate from the right path 3. Do not mutilate dead bodies 4. Do not kill children 5. Do not kill women 6. Do not kill aged men 7. Do not harm or burn trees 8. Do not destroy buildings 9. Do not destroy an enemys flock, unless you use it for your food 10. When you pass people who have devoted their lives to monastic services leave them alone During the crusades when Saladin defeated the franks he honored the defeated Frankish army and supplied them with food and during the third crusade when Saladins enemy king Richard fell sick, Saladin sent him a gift of fruits and horses.

Slide 20

FALSE President Barack Obama was born and raised a Christian. Even while living for four years in heavily Islamic Indonesia, Obama attended St. Francis of Assisi private school (Catholic). He continues to practice his Christian faith. (Note: A recent public opinion poll showed that up to 22% of the American public believe he is Muslim, up from 14% when he was elected)

Slide 21

TRUE The Hajj, one of the main pillars (beliefs) of Islam states that all Muslims are to make a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their life.

Slide 22

TRUE Unlike Christianity, with its pastors, priests, bishops, pope, etc. Islam has no direct leadership structure. Imams (prayer leaders) and Ayatollahs (experts in Islamic Studies) do exist, but just in those defined roles. All Muslims, no matter how large, small, male, female, old, or young are considered equals in the faith.

Slide 23

Key Concepts from the World of Islam

Slide 24

Holiest city of Islam. Mecca is located in Saudi Arabia and was the birthplace of Muhammad, the location in which Allahs word was revealed to him, and the site of the Kaba.

Slide 25

The Holy Book of Islam. The Quran is the written record of Muhammads revelation for Allah.

Slide 26

The Kaba is a cubical shrine located in the center of Mecca that serves as the focal point of pilgrimages to Mecca. Believed to have been built by Abraham. Killing (and weapons) are forbidden in its presence.

Slide 27

The Hijrah refers to Muhammads flight from Mecca to the city of Medinah, 215 miles to the north. As Muhammad gained more followers, the tribal leaders in Mecca found him to be a threat and threatened to kill him.

Slide 28

Caliph Meaning Successor to the Prophet, the caliph became the leader of Islam. Note that the term has both religious and political significance. The empire they controlled was referred to as the Caliphate.

Slide 42

Abu Bakr- successor to Mohammed (caliph) instituted the jihad (Struggle to defend the faith) Spread primarily along trade routes, not by force Key- convert or pay taxes, also promise of paradise and brilliant generals Treated those conquered with civility (Dhimmi) Egypt- across North Africa- to Spain (East toward India)

Slide 43

Abu Bakr elected- Omar followed, two others elected, killed (Succession Issue) 661- caliphate made hereditary in Damascus under Umayyads Mohammeds descendant-- Ali Hussein disputed- followers called Shiites (partisans of Ali) Defeated in 680, but split Islamic world into Sunni and Shiite Split lasts till today- revival among Shiites- Iran mostly Shiite/ Iraq Sunni (90% Sunni, 10% Shiite)

Slide 44

Fatamid Caliphate (969 CE 1100s) North African Shia Caliphate that split power with Abbasids for a period.

Slide 47

Jihad Struggle to Defend the Faith Urban-centered and connected to trade (Why?) Appeals to poor (often in cities), need to learn from other Muslims, tradition of trade amongst early followers Shariah Religious Law tied to Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of Muhammad). Often very literal and usually imposed by Muslim rulers. Open to interpretation.
