Text of the page (random words):
e of wisdom under the abbasid empire to translate classical texts into arabic muslim scholars not only translated texts but also wrote treatises on science astronomy astrology medicine mathematics the arts and so on the names of many scientific instruments and areas of knowledge come from arabic alchemy chemistry algorithm alcohol almagest and so on many star names are arabic or come from arabic and very beautiful they are too the poetry and literature of the arabs was also outstanding there are still many muslim scientists today and also ibn battutah a medieval muslim traveller from morocco went all the way to china and wrote down what he saw on the way he travelled much further and more widely than marco polo and stayed longer in the places he visited the arab world also had very advanced ceramic techniques probably because of the emphasis on geometric designs in mosques because of the ban on graven images fairly early on in the history of islam there developed a difference in emphasis between two groups the sufis whose emphasis was more mystical and those who preferred the more legalistic side of islam indeed islamic jurisprudence is complex and subtle there are several different forms of islamic law so it would actually be very difficult to impose sharia on muslim communities in the uk because they all come from different places where islamic law has developed differently two major groups in islam are the sunni and the shia the sunni derive all authority from the prophet mohammed the shia recognise a line of holy men who are descended from the prophet the word sunni comes from the term sunnah which refers to the sayings and actions of muhammad that are recorded in hadiths collections of oral testimony regarding muhammad collected not long after his death shia is the short form of the historic phrase shīʻatu ʻalī meaning followers faction or party of muhammad s son in law ali whom the shia believe to be muhammad s successor sufism or taṣawwuf is defined by its adherents as the inner mystical dimension of islam a practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a ṣūfī sufis believe they are practicing ihsan perfection of worship as revealed by gabriel to muhammad the sufis have produced a lot of really amazing mystic poetry such as the poetry of rumi and hafiz and many inspiring saints such as al hallaj and rabia their worship services zikr or dikr meaning remembering the name of allah are very beautiful wahhabism is a conservative and fundamentalism form of sunni islam it is particularly strong in saudi arabia it has gained influence for various reasons over the rest of the muslim world partly because its adherents are very wealthy and partly because of the rising hostility between the west and islam which creates a vicious downward spiral wahhabis also distribute a version of the holy qu ran annotated with their interpretations of it there are aspects of islamic practice which don t appeal to me i believe the body is sacred and sexuality is sacred so the idea of modesty does not appeal to me i support the right of muslims to wear hijab modest dress for both men and women although in many islamic countries it has been the modesty of women that has been the most policed and commented on i disagree with extra emphasis being placed on hijab for women which is the case in some islamic countries especially saudi arabia but there are hijab codes for both men and women if people want to indicate their devotion to their deity good for them i don t think it qualifies them for extra respect but they should be accorded as much respect as anyone else and i absolutely and unequivocally condemn violence against people observing hijab codes i also dislike the anti gay rhetoric coming from some muslims but i also dislike the anti gay rhetoric coming from senior figures in christianity which is currently considerably louder or at least getting more media attention i abhor the fact that in many islamic countries being gay carries the death penalty and sincerely hope that this will change update there are also advocacy groups for lgbt muslims and a prominent muslim spokesperson who stands up for lgbt rights as a vegetarian i can t say i particularly like the slaughter of animals for festivals in some islamic countries but that s not really a core part of islam if you insist on eating meat then i think dhabihah the correct method of slaughtering meat so that it conforms with halal is more humane it says that you should bless the animal with the name of god before killing it and the killing should be swift and humane muslims are taught throughout the qur an that all animals should be treated with respect and well cared for one of the interesting things about islam is that it is all about the consensus of the ummah the community there is no pope and no archbishops there is more than one imam if you don t like the interpretation of the qu ran a fatwa is an interpretation of the qu ran that you get from one imam you can go to a different one just like any other holy book the qu ran contains contradictory passages and bits that are confusing there are many passages advocating peace compassion and tolerance there are also exhortations to violence the same is true of the bible that is why exegesis is a delicate art and these books should be taken as a whole not just quoted in bits taken out of context and above all they should not be taken literally like all other religions there are fundamentalists in islam i don t like fundamentalism in any religion but i have to say that christian fundamentalists are just as dangerous as islamic fundamentalists if not more dangerous because they have access to power and influence and money in one of the most powerful countries in the world i e america most muslims just want to live in peace with their neighbours they are mostly peace loving and compassionate people something that news programmes consistently ignore so for goodness sake people get educated about islam i have only skimmed the surface here but it is a very complicated topic just like all other religions posted by yewtree at 5 48 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels islam shia sufi sunni friday september 07 2012 what s wrong with the incarnation many christians think that other religions don t like the idea of the incarnation because they re offended by the idea of god becoming human the thing that is specifically offensive about the idea that jesus is the only way to god is the idea that stems from it that all other religions are wrong and that unless you have accepted jesus as your personal saviour you will go to hell so according to this insane and offensive theology that means gandhi and other great luminaries are in hell then there s penal substitution theology which is also offensive but that is a separate issue i don t have a problem with the idea of jesus being divine i do have a problem with the idea of his being the one and only incarnation of the godhead as far as i m concerned we are all divine in polytheist religions the idea of humans becoming divine or the divine becoming human crops up frequently there s krishna who is an incarnation of vishnu there s oðinn who is either a deified human or a god who became human there s aradia who was diana s daughter and came to earth to teach tuscan witches their craft and how to resist oppression there are many many deities who became human and humans who became deities so the idea that other religions have a problem with the incarnation because they don t like the idea of god becoming human is laughably ignorant in judaism the soul has three components the nefesh the animal soul which disperses at death the neshamah the divine part which returns to god at death and the ruach the breath of god which gives life the more spiritually developed you are the greater the neshamah becomes when jesus told his disciples that he would send his ruach his holy spirit to be with the disciples at death he meant he would send that component of his soul to be with them this insight must have got lost in the early centuries of christianity when the judaic elements were eradicated from christianity by opponents of judaizing anyway the point here is that in judaism everyone is a child of god and has god within them for more on this see my earlier post the trinity and jewish theology in the religious society of friends the quakers they say that everyone has that of god within them and refer to the inner christ or the inner light the idea is to uncover that light not hiding it under a bushel and let it shine in unitarianism which rejected the doctrine of the trinity back in the 16th century the view is usually that everyone has the divine within them too james martineau a great 19th century member of the tradition who actually identified as a free christian said the incarnation is true not of christ exclusively but of man universally and god everlastingly he bends into the human to dwell there and humanity is the susceptible organ of the divine what a truly great concept the incarnation is true of all humans or as shakespeare religious beliefs unknown so memorably put it what a piece of work is a man how noble in reason how infinite in faculties in form and moving how express and admirable in action how like an angel in apprehension how like a god the beauty of the world the paragon of animals hamlet act ii scene ii in buddhism we all contain the potential to become enlightened to become a buddha to become divine we are all future buddhas in eastern orthodox christianity although they believe that jesus is the one and only divine incarnation they also have the concept of theosis which means that because jesus opened the way between the human and the divine we can all become divine indeed jesus himself said i have said ye are gods so no the thing that annoys people about the incarnation is not the idea that god became human it s the idea that it only happened once everyone has that of god within them the neshamah the ruach the seed of a future buddha the potential for theosis posted by yewtree at 8 37 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels buddhism interfaith jesus jewish judaism pagan pagan
