| islam wikia: Islamic Algorithms Gary R. Bunt, 2024-04-04 This book examines how Islam is digitally mediated at a time of technological change, enhanced digital literacy and proactive engagement in Islamic online content by authorities and influencers. What is the impact of this on societies, believers and understandings of Islam? Islamic Algorithms provides a thorough exploration of Cyber Islamic Environments (CIEs) through representations of significant historical and religious influences across contexts and diversities. This ranges from jinn and angels through to contemporary influencers. Gary R. Bunt raises issues of how digital content is embedded in contemporary understandings of Islam and their dissemination. Bunt shows how the interpretation of pivotal figures in Islam – including Muhammad and his family, scholars and imams – can be informed by new generations of digital influences, such as apps and social networking, which have become primary sources of information for many Muslims globally. |
| islam wikia: You Think You Know Islam? Dr. Ali Al-Tarafi, 2016-07-05 Scanning the media in the non-Islamic world, you may perceive the image of Islam as a religion living in the Dark Ages at war with itself and humanity. It is often portrayed as a brutal religion associated with extremism and terrorism. Acts like those of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and al-Qaedaknown for chopping non-Muslim and Muslim heads, conducting suicide bombings on civilians, and attacking and killing innocent people across the worldare highlighted as examples. Muslims may call Islam a religion of peace; however, the media describe it as a religion of war and atrocities, a religion that spreads by the sword. Reading the media, you would also think that Islam subjugates women, treats them as second-class citizens, ascribes them the status of a servant, forces them to wear hijab, mutilates their genitals, ascribes them little or no rightsbasically living in a chauvinistic mans world. You would also think that Islam religious practices are out of date, meaningless, and arduous practices that are difficult to follow in our current socioeconomic environment. Islamic sharia law is out of alignment with current society, representing practices of the seventh to the twelfth centuries and therefore has no place in todays world. If this is the image you have of Islam, including those who consider themselves as Muslims, then think again. You certainly dont know Islam. This book is for you. |

| islam wikia: 9 and 11 Kim H. Veltman, 2015-02-23 This is an unlikely story of true events. The Day that changed the World in the United States (bombing of the Twin Towers), the Day of Fate in Germany and the Day of Destiny in Israel are all connected with the 11th day of the 9th month. These 9/11 dates entail much more than three events in three countries. In the Hebrew tradition, they include all the calamities that have befallen the Jews from the time of the Destruction of the First Temple and Second Temple, the Expulsion of the Jews from England, France, Spain through to the Holocaust in World War II. These events are, in turn, part of a larger history, which linked the same date with cosmic events such as a day of Cosmic Battle and the Birth of Venus and gave special significance to the numbers 9 and 11. Part one explores this tradition and surveys a range of sources from a former German officer involved in the plot against Hitler, to various conspiracy theories. These events are also related to swastikas and hexagrams. Since World War II there has been a trend to associate swastikas with an evil, German Aryan tradition and hexagrams (e.g. six-pointed Star of David) with a good, Jewish Semitic tradition. Historically, a Jewish connection with the Star of David is late Mediaeval rather than Biblical. Swastikas and hexagrams are found in both the Aryan and the Semitic tradition. Hence, the new trend distorts a complex history. More disturbingly, in the guise of tolerance and political correctness, one version of stories is highlighted, others are being suppressed and truth is endangered. |
| islam wikia: Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam Frank Salvato, 2011-04-09 The events of September 11, 2001 changed our nation, and the world, forever. For our nation, these attacks signaled the realization of the quintessential struggle for this generation. A conflict not between nations whose borders are delineated on a map or between groups of nations diametrically opposed in their political philosophies, but a conflict of ideologies transcending recognized borders. Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam provides a cursory examination of violent Islamism and how this radical ideology threatens Western Civilization. |

| islam wikia: Eradicating Female Genital Mutilation Hilary Burrage, 2016-12-05 This ground-breaking handbook details the present situation with regard to female genital mutilation (FGM) in Britain, referring also to other Western nations where FGM occurs. It scrutinises current pathways to eradicating this dangerous, sometimes lethal, form of child abuse and gender-related violence. The cultural and belief systems giving rise to FGM are complex. Further, FGM is an intensely intimate matter often imposed on young and vulnerable children. Approaches to its eradication therefore demand considerable human insight and a competent grasp of inter-/cross-agency working. It is also vital that everyone concerned - whether in caring and parental, safeguarding or other roles - understands fully that, regardless of custom or belief, FGM is a serious crime. The vulnerabilities and need for protection of victims and potential victims are paramount, but these pressing priorities do not lessen the requirement that all aspects of FGM be dealt with straightforwardly in accordance with the law. This book makes the case urgently for developing a shared, coherent model - a multi-disciplinary paradigm articulated at the highest level - as the basis to achieve the eradication of FGM. The text will be required reading for health, legal, educational and social services professionals, as well as researchers, policy-makers, school governors, journalists and other concerned citizens. |

| islam wikia: Religion and Violence Paul Powers, 2020-07-28 Does religion cause much of the world’s violence? Is religion inherently violent? Would violence disappear if religion did? Is true religion a force for peace? Is religion a mask for power and self-interest? What aspects of religion make violence more—or less—likely? Religion and Violence: A Religious Studies Approach explores the potential of classic social theories to shed light on the relationships between religion and violence. This accessible and engaging book starts from the premise that both religion and violence are ordinary elements of social life and that rather than causing violence religion plays a crucial role in the management of violence. Ideal for any student approaching the topic of religion and violence for the first time, this core textbook includes chapter overviews and summaries, guides for applying theory to real-world events, discussion questions, and case studies. Further teaching and learning resources are available on the accompanying companion website. |
| islam wikia: The Reason of Job Scott R. Cherry, 2022-09-15 The story of Job is probably the most heart-wrenching and pervasive story of suffering that is often included in philosophical discussions on the problem of evil. Job was a highly regarded man of God in both Christianity and Islam, and an undisputed prophet in Islam. Both religions have overlapping scripture about him in our holy books, as well as tradition. This is also true of other prophets from the Tanakh, or the Old Testament of the Bible. It contains the book by his name with forty-two chapters, and a fair amount of content that is unique to it. The Reason of Job explores what this author believes is the main reason for Job’s suffering and restoration, plus the restoration of his four friends. It then, through the lenses of the Bible and Islamic literature, examines many other prophets or saints to trace their common qualities, experiences, and motifs pointing to the prefigured Messiah. |
| islam wikia: Digital new deal: the quest for a natural law in a digital society Riccardo Genghini, 2021-06-08 The quest for a natural law that can be applied to a digital society may sound like an oxymoron, but it is a necessary quest if we hope to institute a “Digital New Deal”: Hence the title of this book. Today once again, mass media is disrupting society, much as radio and cinema were used to buttress totalitarianism in the 1920s … or even worse, in the 15th century, when the printing of the Bible unleashed 100 years of war, plague and instability. Things get messy when people disagree on facts rather than ideas. Natural law springs from the features of the physical world, which contains boundaries (an inside and an outside), limited resources, living individuals, objects, living animals, living plants, climate, the four elements, etc. None of this is a given in the digital world, which looks today like feudalism in a box, with (fire)walled communities run by unelected autocrats (system administrators) ruling over countless subjects, whose identities are tied to the domain of the (fire)walled community and whose rights can only be enforced by the autocratic system administrator. This dystopic reality is neither necessary nor inevitable. It is the consequence of bad technical design and inappropriate business models, which are destroying the spirit of free pluralism that enabled them to thrive in the first place. Information technology has its own ontology and “natural” rules, and we must understand them and learn to regard them as being among the founding legal principles of our free, open, pluralistic societies. Of the 12 founding digital principles addressed here, the most important may well be that we must each own and control our digital identities. In the world created by information technology, everyone and everything should possess a UID, a unique identifier. Without one, we are just helpless particles lost in a dark and hostile universe. |
| islam wikia: Promised Land: Whose Land? Whose Promise? Plammoottil Cherian, 2019-06-13 Biblical interpretation of the Abrahamic Covenants and his descendants often present a bias against the Arabs and Ishmaelites perhaps due to lack of full knowledge of God's covenantal promises and blessings to humanity. Dr. Cherian presents clear evidences that God has no partiality and that Jews, Christians, Arabs, Muslims, Hindus and all people are equally called to be the partakers of the Kingdom of God. Ishmael was not rejected, but he and his generations were abundantly blessed, and they have a continuous role to play in the end stages of the world. As a skilled detective the author examines the Scriptures and calls all people to unlock the Bible and fight for the Eternal Promised Land. The book presents: *A complete history of God and humanity |

| islam wikia: Spirituality and its Evolution Harendra N Bora, 2023-02-27 The early Homo-Sapiens, the ancestors of modern man had resorted to ceremonial burials around 30-40 thousand years ago, for the welfare of the souls in the afterlife hinting that they believed in some form of elementary spirituality. Such belief of the Homo sapiens had, later, led to growing beliefs of ‘animism’ and shamanism. The turning point in the lifestyle of the Homo-sapiens came since around 11700 years ago with the coming of the warmer climate of the Holocene period facilitating the growth of cereals, crops, and the rearing of animals while living a life of sedentary agricultural farmers. Security of food and shelter has caused a cognitive revolution in humans to innovate faiths and religions. Yoga and asceticism had been innovated in the Indus Valley Civilization igniting the light of spirituality for the entire world. Neuroscientists have of late, undertaken a number of researches on the meditational impact on the brain; based on the findings, neuroscientists suggest that feeling of religiosity, godliness or spirituality is generated due to the impact of meditational practices and that such feelings can be regenerated artificially by manipulating specific region of the brain. The book thus goes to discuss, briefly, all the related issues on spirituality. |

| islam wikia: Revelation: a Letter to the Tribulation Christians and Those Left Behind James D. Elliott, 2021-12-09 Of all the books in our Most High God’s blessed word it is the book of Revelation that gives the body of Christ (1Corinthians 12:27) the most trepidation to study. In part because the book of Revelation is the foretelling of events that have not taking place, and it is in part due to the perception, by a majority in the body of Christ, that the book of Revelation is overly symbolic. But, in reality the book of Revelation is pretty straight forward. The word of God is replete in the books, chapters, and verses of God’s word that are either directly and/or indirectly related to the book of Revelation. |

| islam wikia: The State of Social Progress of Islamic Societies Habib Tiliouine, Richard J. Estes, 2016-04-08 This handbook addresses the historical background of the Islamic world and reviews its basic past intellectual achievements. It studies social progress of these regions and sub-regions in comparison with other parts of the world. It uses large data sets and well established statistically weighted Indexes in order to assess the nature and pace of the multiple facets of social change in member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The handbook extensively discusses the main challenges confronting the Islamic nations in the social, economic, political, and ideological fields. Though it is recognizable that social change in the Islamic World is generally positive, it remains highly variable in pace and there is room to speed it up to the benefit of millions of deprived Muslim people. Hence, the book studies the different propositions and programs of action, such as the United Nations’ Millennium Development Campaign and the OIC’s Ten-Year Programme of Action to present an integrated and comprehensive agenda of action to help improve the situation in the Islamic World. |

| islam wikia: Demystifying Islam Harris Zafar, 2023-06-14 “A welcome correction to the politically tortured conceptions of Islam so prevalent today . . . An important, original new examination of Islam.” —Kirkus Reviews Despite heightened interest in the study of the Muslim faith, for many people Islam remains shrouded in mystery and confusion. What really is Shariah law? How is a Muslim to understand Jihad? Does Islam oppose Western values such as free speech or freedom of religion? What place do women have according to Islam? Understanding that this confusion has as much to do with the behavior and words of Muslims as it does with allegations made by anti-Islam activists, Demystifying Islam offers refreshingly bold answers to provocative questions about Islam today. Author Harris Zafar—lecturer, writer, teacher and national spokesperson for Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA—is forthright about issues where Muslims disagree, and he digs into history through vast research and scholarship to track the origins of differing beliefs. From the burqa to the role of Jesus in Islam, Demystifying Islam is an essential resource and concise guide to understanding the fastest growing religion in the world. “This book is less of a spiritual introduction than it is a cultural one, and an excellent starting point for people navigating interfaith relationships or working to improve understanding and representation in organizations and public discussion.” —Publishers Weekly “A significant contribution to the global conversation on peace, freedom, and justice in a world mystified and threatened by geopolitical and religious tensions.” —Paul Louis Metzger, author of Connecting Christ |
| islam wikia: . . . and the Sun Will Rise from the West Rafaat Ludin, Windham Loopesko, 2016-06-07 This book seeks to offer an interpretation of how terrorism has become a tool of Muslim radicals and why it is completely at odds with the teaching of Islam. It claims that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam as a religion but the evolution of Muslims, especially in the past one thousand years, has created an environment in which fanaticism, radicalism and violence can nourish. Supported by double standards by Western powers and active backing for corrupt governments and groups, Islamic terrorism came into being. It presents an overview of how Islamic thought in many parts of the Muslim world has become rigid and frozenand grounds for hoping that change in that thought may come, from a perhaps surprising place. It suggests the role that both Muslim and Western societies have played and will continue to play in contributing to reforming Islam. Our purpose is not to provide a thorough proof of our ideas, but to spark discussion and dialogue, both in Muslim and non-Muslim communities (and, ideally, between the two) as to how Islam can regain in world thought and civilization the honored place it had during the Golden Age of Islam. |
| islam wikia: A Road to Christianity, Islam and Judaism John R. Mitchell, 2017-11-07 A Road to Christianity, Islam and Judaism contains brief overviews of the three major religions in the world today. They are the Islamic religion, the Judaic religion, and the Christian religion. These overviews, with supporting biblical and Quranic verses, are related in the form of roads with their twists, turns, ruts, and potholes. Many roads or overviews are unknown or learned based on the learners heritage (e.g., original sin). It would take a person a lifetime to research all the minutiae connected with the history, tenets, beliefs, congregations, sects, churches, mosques, synagogues, and people of the three major religions. The three religions have many differences, as well as many similarities. All three religions believe in the same god/creator and Old Testament characters, except by different names. All three religions believe in resurrections, the afterlife, Adam and Eve, and messengers. |
| islam wikia: Islam's Mandate: A Tribute to Jihad Mr. Pat, 2010-09-27 This work is based on the religion of Islam and the fundamental Muslims who live by Islamic Sharia law and associate themselves with Sunni Islam, or the Shi’a philosophy of the 6th imam. Islam's Mandate separates 80 % of the Muslim ummah (family) who live in Third World countries who cannot read or write from the radical world of Islam, as well as others who continue to associate themselves with the Muslim family, but have strayed from the teachings of Muhammad and are less than Islam's Muslim in their way of life. In the book, the author deals with 1500 year old beliefs of the fundamentalist, Islam’s true Muslim. The questions asked and answered are, what is the true nature of Islam, and who are the real Islam Muslims in the mosques who stay hidden behind closed doors. Those who must defend against radical Islam must take them time to understand the Jihadist. It is time America pulls its head out of Muslim sand that is soaked with blood from 1500 years of Islamic aggression, and deals with the reality of what was once an oppressed tribal cult in the Arabian Desert, but is now a dominating, brutal, and repressive theocracy spreading to every corner of this planet. |
| islam wikia: AD 2036 Is The End Christian Jacobsen, 2008-03 Did you know that the exact year of Jesus' crucifixion was predicted over five hundred years before His birth? Did you know that a similar prophecy predicts the exact year of Jesus' return to earth? In fact, the timing of the Second Coming of Christ is foreshadowed in no less than eleven places in the scriptures. These timelines all point to the end of human history within this generation. Although the Bible teaches that no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, (Mark 13:32) it says nothing about not knowing the year. Faithful Christians most certainly .won't be surprised when the day of the Lord comes, (1 Thessalonians 5:4) rather, they will .see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25) This book reveals that the Glorious Day will occur within three and a half years of AD 2036. CHRIST HAS DIED! CHRIST IS RISEN! CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN! |
| islam wikia: Apocalyptic Chic Barbara Brodman, James E. Doan, 2017-10-10 This book deals with legends and images of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse in film and graphic arts, literature and lore from early to modern times and from peoples and cultures around the world. It reflects an increasingly popular leitmotif in literature and visual arts of the 21st century: humanity’s fear of extinction and its quest for survival -- in revenant, supernatural, or living human form. It is the logical continuation of a series of collected essays examining the origins and evolution of myths and legends of the supernatural in Western and non-Western tradition and popular culture. The first two volumes of the series, The Universal Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip and the Atavistic. (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) focused on the vampire legend. The third, The Supernatural Revamped: From Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic (2016), focused on a range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms of popular culture. |
| islam wikia: The Foundations of Scriptural Understanding Dann W Hone, 2024-10-07 Scriptural Reference and Exploration Series, Volume 1: Foundations of Scriptural Understanding serves as a beginning for scriptural studies introduced in succeeding volumes focusing on the foundations and principles for understanding biblical literature.

| islam wikia: Winning with Your Body, Mind, and Soul Henry Arnold Davis, 2024-10-31 Winning can be an elusive thing. Anyone who has chased a dream can relate. What does it mean to win? If once a winner, is one always a winner? Does success in one area of life make one a winner? Who decides whether someone has actually won? At their core, people are driven to overcome any challenge they face—physical, mental, or spiritual. They want to win with their bodies, minds, and souls—separately and collectively. Their desire is to be a winner in the game of life and beyond, if there is such a thing. Competitions with the body and the mind are battles. Competition with the soul is war. The War. Ideally, everyone would win the battles and the war. However, it’s okay to lose every battle and win the war. But it’s not okay to win every battle and lose the war. Victories with the body and the mind are paper victories. Winning with the soul is the only victory that matters in The End. While no one knows what will happen when they die, an analysis of the world’s top twenty-two religions/nonreligions proves that Christianity gives us the best chance at winning The War. |
| islam wikia: The Grand Chatrang Game Kuanysh-Beck Sazanov, 2014-12-02 This book presents a completely new look at the fundamentals of global geopolitical architecture and the sources of international conflicts. This research extends the scope of geopolitical analysis to encompass the entire globe through a comparative historical analysis of major religious, cultural, and civilizational aspects of development of different regions of the world, which are responsible for development of a system of political legacies peculiar to each of them. The book attempts to find the deep-rooted sources of the long-lasting international conflicts, where each of them has the potential to grow into full-fledged global war. In addition, it proposes a multipolar structure of the new global geopolitical order, which is more coherent with the true nature of different and very versatile societies of the world. |
| islam wikia: The 1300 Year's War Robert Maddock, 2016-12-19 The book in two volumes describes the evolution of Judeo Christianity and Islam and 1,300 years of warfare between them. Islam and Christianity follow gods with different characteristics and differing doctrinesfree will vs. determinism. They were engaged in bloody conflict from 632 AD until 1856 (Crimean War) when the Ottoman Empire became the sick man of Europe. It reignited with Egyptian encouragement backed by Soviet money, the arming of Fedayeen terrorists in 1956, and the Six-Day War following Egypts seizure of the Suez Canal, and has become progressively more serious ever since. |
| islam wikia: Life and Legacy of An Amazing Father Ruhul Amin, 2025-01-16 The author, first-born son of his father, belonged to Muslim majority inhabitants of pre-British India’s Bengal province—who had no instance of modern education in their peasant community of the early 20th century—grew up with his father. The author, after obtaining his higher education in his native country of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), came to USA and obtained his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees. He then spent much of his life in doing research and evaluation on various issues, such as high fertility, high infant mortality, poverty, rapid population growth, and public provision of some basic services, both in inner-city black America and in several developing countries of Asia and West Africa while working for two universities in USA—Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Marland. Life and Legacy of An Amazing Father describes a series of heart-comforting and heart-breaking stories—with which both the author’s father and the author himself were grappling with in attaining their success in life as well as building up successful families, raising resilient children, inspiring, and enabling them to attain their educational, occupational, and other successes in life. From his experience of growing up with his father and, subsequently, helping his own younger siblings and children to succeed in life, the author describes how the adherence to some basic principles, rules, habits, and values of life made difference in his father’s life, his life, and the lives of his siblings and children.

| islam wikia: The Domenech Bible Interpretations Alex Domenech, 2015-08-20 REVISED 7/30/2021 EDITION This book clearly defines prophecy and explains how specific biblical messages can be linked to the crises that are hitting our world — global warming, climate change, dead zones in the ocean, polar ice melting, earthquakes, hurricanes, ocean acidification, and many other calamities. Mr. Alex Domenech comes across as an expert in biblical studies, demonstrating an impeccable understanding of the history of the Bible, its composition, and the historical, cultural, and religious contexts in which the scriptures were composed. The author also demonstrates great mastery of other disciplines related to the study of the Bible. This isn’t a book to be read quickly. It’s a study that will transform the way we approach the sacred scriptures, and readers will enjoy the concise definitions the author offers of complex terms. The Domenech Bible Interpretations will appeal to readers who are interested in the truth about the sacred scriptures, and those who are curious about the relationship between the Bible and contemporary times (Reviewed By Romuald Dzemo for Readers’ Favorite, 2018). |

| islam wikia: What Is Islam? Shahab Ahmed, 2017-10-31 A bold new conceptualization of Islam that reflects its contradictions and rich diversity What is Islam? How do we grasp a human and historical phenomenon characterized by such variety and contradiction? What is Islamic about Islamic philosophy or Islamic art? Should we speak of Islam or of islams? Should we distinguish the Islamic (the religious) from the Islamicate (the cultural)? Or should we abandon Islamic altogether as an analytical term? In What Is Islam?, Shahab Ahmed presents a bold new conceptualization of Islam that challenges dominant understandings grounded in the categories of religion and culture or those that privilege law and scripture. He argues that these modes of thinking obstruct us from understanding Islam, distorting it, diminishing it, and rendering it incoherent. What Is Islam? formulates a new conceptual language for analyzing Islam. It presents a new paradigm of how Muslims have historically understood divine revelation—one that enables us to understand how and why Muslims through history have embraced values such as exploration, ambiguity, aestheticization, polyvalence, and relativism, as well as practices such as figural art, music, and even wine drinking as Islamic. It also puts forward a new understanding of the historical constitution of Islamic law and its relationship to philosophical ethics and political theory. A book that is certain to provoke debate and significantly alter our understanding of Islam, What Is Islam? reveals how Muslims have historically conceived of and lived with Islam as norms and truths that are at once contradictory yet coherent. |
| islam wikia: The Dawning Terry MacKinnell, 2011-03-09 The Dawning is a radically different and innovative approach to the astrological ages including the Age of Aquarius -providing a fascinating insight into past ages, our current turbulent times, and what might be in store for our world over the next few thousand years! Terry MacKinnell takes us on a journey into the astrological ages and with periscopic detail presents an entertaining and thought-provoking read that challenges astrological assumptions. MacKinnell proposes that an oversight made by the ancients inadvertently impacted conventional astrological calculations and he explores the popular belief that the Age of Aquarius has already arrived when according to conventional astrology it is not due for many centuries to come. He argues that the real Aquarian Age has indeed already arrived and did so in the 15th Century, the same century historians claim as the beginning of modernity. Continuing the journey he dives into our present and our future. This fascinating book will appeal to astrologers, archeo-astronomers, historians and everyone looking for a new perspective on the past, the present and the future. |
| islam wikia: The Fire Below Robert Bruce Ware, 2013-05-13 This groundbreaking work examines the complex dynamics of Russia's relations with the Caucasus, revealing the profound effects that Caucasian forces have had upon Russia's development. Essays show how Georgian sparks ignited conflagrations in South Ossetia (1991-1992) and Abkhazia (1992-1993), spreading northward to conflicts in Ossetia and Ingushetia (1992) and Chechnya (1994-1996). Combined with jihadist influences that entered from the South and East by way of Dagestan, these events culminated in the second Russo-Chechen war (1999-2009). Chechnya transformed both the Russian military and the presidency of Vladimir Putin. Beginning in 2000, Putin's Chechenization strategy had unforeseen and controversial results for the entire Russian Federation. These ironies are elucidated in case studies of the Stavropol region, the Sochi Olympics, the Pussy Riot conviction, and Russia's efforts to reintegrate religion with politics against the backdrop of an emerging Islamic inner abroad.†? Neither Russia nor the Caucasus can be understood without an appreciation of their uneasy interconnection and its explosive consequences. |
