The Islamic belief is based off of an almighty, magnificent God who has fashioned the world and who controls each and every part of the world down to the smallest detail. Islam is considered to be closely related to the other monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity, and all three religions worship the same God. The idea of God’s power receives the greatest importance in Islam. The most basic concept of Islam is that there is only one God. Since there is only one God, only this God has the right to be worshipped. None…
The Muslims were unified together because they had to achieve a particular religious aim. Ammianus Marcellinus, a Roman historian said that in 380 CE before the rise of Islam the Arab people were called Saracens. The Romans looked down at them and even said that their living style was like the Nomadic people. During that time, the Saracens didn’t have any of the government institutions and even had no specific place to live (Document 1). However, this point of view had been totally changed when Islam started to rise. Moreover, the Qur’an stated that people who have submitted to the God should listen to what the God commanded you to do, and you will go to the Paradise when you died. The God commanded the Muslims to battle with the unbelievers, and he promised he would protect them and won all of the battles (Document 4). Thus, the sentences of God gave them courage to fight with others. For example, in 711, when the Muslims were going to fight Spain, the Arab ambassador said that once they were looked down by people around them, but now if they won the battle, no one would looked down them and also if they died, they would go to Paradise because they…
During the lifetime of Rosa Parks, she was put up against many battles that she over came by always staying positive and never giving up. Rosa Parks can be compared to Jackie Robinson in many ways. Jackie Robinson was put on an all white baseball team in the late 1940s. African Americans were not accepted in baseball since it was considered a “white man’s game”. Rosa Parks was an African American lady who sat in the front of the bus even though blacks were suppose to sit in the back. Being discriminated for not looking like everybody else is the reason they both stood up for themselves. Rosa never listened to the law and Jackie never stopped playing baseball just because it was “white mans game”.…

From the “beginning of time”, Judeo/Christian and Islamic religions have shared many of the same common themes throughout multiple aspects of their religious developments. However, this is not to say that they are all the same, although there are many similarities between these religions. To begin, recurring themes which were discovered in the basic principles of these religions such as their creation stories, end of world prophecies, concepts about the afterlife, and behaviors which humans are to demonstrate as to please their utmost higher power, “their God”, will be identified and discussed. Following the previous discoveries, and a greater in depth review of them, differences will be also be brought to attention and discussed as well throughout this report.…
3. How are the three major holy books of the monotheistic faiths both similar and different? Judaism, Islam, Christianity. All three religions are strictly monotheistic. While Christianity believes in the Holy Triune, in which God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the three Abrahamic faiths believe that God has provided humans with the basic guidelines for living. But Judaism denies that Jesus was a prophet, while Christianity and Islam acknowledge Jesus as a prophet.…

‘Witness’ or ‘Shahada’ – “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet”…
In this paper, I seek to explore the identities and relationships between Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the epic poem of Gilgamesh, up through Enkidu 's death. I will explore the gender identity of each independently and then in relation to each other, and how their gender identity influences that relationship. I will also explore other aspects of their identity and how they came to their identities as well, through theories such as social conditioning. I will investigate the possibility that Gilgamesh and Enkidu enjoy a homosexual relationship, since modern times allow such investigations which only 20 years ago were considered extemporaneous to ancient texts by traditions western conventions. Conversely, I will also consider the possibility of a heterosexual male-male relationship in the terms of Platonic love. In addition to this, I will touch briefly at times on the unique relationship each has to a world that is caught up in a change from nature and natural things to what we call a civilized life, or an urban life.…
There are hundreds of religions practiced in the world today. Of them two are the most prominent. Islam and Christianity. It is averaged that there are 750 million people practicing Islam, and another 1 billion practicing Christianity. The start of Islam actually derived form Christianity, history books indicate that one night in the year 610, the first of many revelations came to Muhammad from God by way of the angel Gabriel (In Christianity this is the same Angel which brings the news of Jesus' birth.) The message Muhammad received told him that there was but one God which parallels what is written in the Ten Commandments. At that time most Arab's believed in many gods. Gabriel also told Muhammad that God was creator of the world (In Christianity, it's documented in Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth), and that He would one day judge mankind (This is also true in Christianity: "The Lord will judge his people." Hebrews 10:30). Both of these religions share much of the same framework, but they also differ in many ways.…
In Islam “Allah” literally means The God. Not a god, for there is only one and “Allah” is it. Allah also wants total submission from anyone who believes in him.…
Though with diverse names, both Islamic and Hindu religions worship one true God, making them both monotheistic, meaning that their religions only believe in one deity. The Qur’an, which is the holy book of Islam, asserts the existence of a single and absolute God that transcends the world. Though often mistaken as a polytheistic religion, Hinduism too believes in a one true God, but believes that He comes in a variety of shapes and forms. And it is here, that the two religions diverse. Islamic followers believe in an all mighty being known as Allah, unlike the Hindus, who worship Maya, Shakti and the sorts, all of whom are different extensions of the one true God. One could see as to why Hinduism is often mistaken as a polytheistic religion. But in truth, both are monotheistic.…
