The Islam Worldview
The Islam worldview believe that Allah created mankind for His purpose. The Islam culture believes that the Bible is corrupt and Allah’s plan for mankind came through his ultimate prophet, Muhammad (Wieder and Gutierrez). The Holy Qur’an refers to Allah as the most gracious and merciful Islamic. Followers of Islam believe that they were created to serve and love Allah. When comparing Islamic worldview to Christian’s worldview, there are some similarities but they are different when it comes to the question of meaning and purpose. Luke 10:27 says “And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself’” (ESV).

    Annotated Bibliography: Understanding Islam

    Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi are three branches of Islam. The Shiite and Sunni’s were the first really major division of the Islamic religion. This division was the result of a political argument over who should precede Muhammed. Sunni’s name means tradition and they believed the legitimacy of the Orthodox caliphates, and based everything off those beliefs. Sunni’s believe that Muhammad did not designate a successor. Now Shiite’s get their name from the word Shia, which means faction. They believe that Muhammad did leave a successor and it was the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad named, Ali. They do not believe the same thing as Sunnis and disagree and do not get along with them. Now Sufi’s are” a contemplative school of Islam that aims to develop an individual 's consciousness of God though chanting, recitation of litanies, music and physical movement (SCRUGGS, 2010, para. )” Sufis find the importance by approaching the inner meaning of god through mysticism. They want to find the hidden meanings of the world they do not read or follow the Qur’an as strictly and as a result have closer relationships to other religions (SCRUGGS,…

    Sacred Scripture and Cosmogony of Islam and Christianity

    Historically, the roots of Islam and Christianity grow from similar philosophical, theological, cultural, and geographical underpinnings. Both Christianity and Islamic sacred scriptures (Holy Bible and Quran or Alcoran) note that creation of mankind and the origin of the universe was the action of one God. Whatever Christianity and Islamic faith differences are, these two major world religions have sacred documents that in essence recapitulate on a number of different subjects. However, Islam and Christianity are always used to describe very diverse groups of people and certainly very diverse theologies.…

    Islamic Worldview Critical Thinking

    The Question of Meaning/Purpose – “The Christian witness, that man is created in the ‘image and likeness of God,’ is not the same as the Muslim witness. Although God breathed into man His spirit…for Islam the only Divine quality that was entrusted to man as a result of God’s breath was the faculty of knowledge, will, and power of action. If man uses these Divine qualities rightly in understanding God and following His law strictly, then he has nothing to fear in the present or in the future, and no sorrow for the past.” (Kateregga, 1981) Islamic religion has the belief that the purpose of man is to do God’s will.…

    Understanding Islam

    Islam is an ill-perceived religion throughout most of the Western world. Once known as a quiet and peaceful religion, the general perception of people from other religions and most of the world upon Islam is quite distorted. Ever since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, an influx of discrimination and prejudice towards Islam and Muslims has spread throughout the world. In “Understanding Islam,” by Kenneth Jost, an article about several accounts of how Muslims are mistreated and stereotyped throughout the world, brings up a recent poll within the United States says that 45 percent of those surveyed has an unfavorable view of Islam. The article also states that a CBS poll in April 2006 found that 46 percent of those surveyed believe Islam encourages violence more than other religions. Westerners must recognize the need to combat the backlash of stereotypes and negativity towards Islam within the 21st century. In order to do so, we must first truly understand Islam by comprehending this unique faith and culture.…

Because of many current world events, Islam is a highly controversial and sensitive issue that has many misconceptions that need to be more fully addressed and understood.

This essay will begin to give factual details regarding the Islam faith, compare Islam with other Abrahamic religions and discuss common misconceptions and current events that have changed the way the world looks at Muslims and the Islam faith.…

    In order for one to understand what their purpose is or plans in life, it is important to understand what it means to be created in the image of God. Genesis 1:26 states, “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” Because no one has ever seen what God looks like physically, there are other attributes about Him that makes Him amazing. God is full of love, compassion, kindness, joy, peace, gentleness, mercy and a host of other characteristics. Man can also inherit those same characteristics but it is dependent on one’s choices and behavior.…

    Worldview Vs Islam Origin

    The Islamic worldview believes Judaism and Christianity had truth at a point in time and now the Bible is corrupted. Muslims believed that Allah used the Angel Gabriel to reveal Islam’s sacred text to their Prophet Muhammed. Allah’s will is for mankind to obey the teachings of the Qur’an and to know that Allah is one. In total disagreement with the Islamic worldview, Christian’s believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. The biblical worldview believes that mankind’s purpose is to have an intimate and personal relationship with God and to glorify the Father, the Son, and the Holy…

    Whether we all acknowledge it or not, we all have a worldview. In essence, a worldview is the lens through which we see and understand life. A worldview does not determine what events take place, but it does determine how we make sense of the events that take place. There are many different worldviews, but the Christian worldview is set apart from the rest. There are four main ideas within the Christian worldview, and they are creation, fall, grace, and glory.…
