Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Demographics of Islam - Note on percentages

The percentage following the number of Muslims in the general population is the percentage of Muslims in the general population. However, the percentages following the Sunni and Shi'a numbers are percentages of the MUSLIM population, not the general population. This was done so as to better see the Sunni-Shi'a balance (if it can be said to be seen when the figures are both controversial and sketchy). The percentage is applied to mid-year 2005 population estimate for the country as per CIA website. Although CIA site appears to u ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Islam - Organization
Islam - Religious authority. There is no official authority who decides whether a person is accepted into, or dismissed from, the community of believers, known as the Ummah ("family" or "nation"). Islam is open to all, regardless of race, age, gender, or previous beliefs. It is enough to believe in the central beliefs of Islam. This is formally done by reciting the shahada, which should be made sincerely from the heart, the statement of belief of Islam, without which a person cannot be classed a Mus ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Islam - History

Islamic history begins in Arabia in the 7th century with the emergence of the prophet Muhammad. Within a century of his death, an Islamic state stretched from the Atlantic ocean in the west to central Asia in the east, which, however, was soon torn by civil wars (fitnas). After this, there would always be rival dynasties claiming the caliphate, or leadership of the Muslim world, and many Islamic states or empires offering only token obedience to an increasingly powerless caliph. Nonetheless, the later empires of the Abbasid caliphs an ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Armed Islamic Group

The Armed Islamic Group (GIA, from French Groupe Islamique Armé; Arabic al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyah al-Musallah) is a militant Islamist group with the declared aim of overthrowing the Algerian government and replacing it with an Islamic state. The GIA adopted violent tactics in 1992 after the military government voided the victory of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), the largest Islamic opposition party, in the f ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Dawah

Dawah (دعوة) is an Arabic term meaning "invite" or "invitation," and is used in Islam to refer to the activity of proselytizing. Dawah is considered to be the Muslim responsibility to "invite" others to Islam. Dawah is often referred to as the act of preaching Islam. It can apply to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. For example, in the Qur'an, Sura An-Nahl 16:125 states, "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching and argue with them in ways that are best." Also, a Da'ee or Da`i (Ar ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Unclean animals

In many religious cultures it is considered unclean or improper to handle or eat certain animals and animal by-products. Unclean animals - History. Although the concept of "clean" and "unclean animals" remains in practice to this day with several large worldwide religions, its origins are quite old. Some theologians hypothesize that it was in effect at the beginnings of recorded time. The bible's first list of "clean" and "unclean" animals is in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, although such animals ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Abbasid

Abbasid (Arabic: العبّاسيّون Abbāsīyūn) was the dynastic name generally given to the caliphs of Baghdad, the second of the two great Sunni dynasties of the Islamic empire, that overthrew the Umayyad caliphs. It seized power in 750, when it finally defeated the Umayyads in battle, and flourished for two centuries, but slowly went into decline with the rise to power of the Turkish army they had created, the Mamluks. Their rule was finally ended in 1258, when Hulagu Khan, the Mongol conquerer, sacked Baghdad. While they con ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Apostasy

Apostasy (αποστασις, in classical Greek a defection or revolt from a military commander, from απο, apo, "away, apart", στασις, stasis, "standing") is a term generally employed to describe the formal renunciation of one's religion, especially if the motive is deemed unworthy. In a technical sense, as used by sociologists without the sometimes pejorative connotations of the word, the term refers to renunciation and criticism of or opposition to one's former religion. One who commits apostasy is an ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Faith

The word faith has various uses; its central meaning is similar to "belief", "trust" or "confidence", but unlike these terms, "faith" tends to imply a transpersonal rather than interpersonal relationship – with God or a higher power. The object of faith can be a person (or even an inanimate object or state of affairs) or a proposition (or body of propositions, such as a religious credo). In each case, however, the faithful subject's faith is in an aspect of the object that cannot be rationally proven or objectively known. ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Noahide Laws

The Noahide Laws (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח -- Seven Noahide Laws), also called the Brit Noah ("Covenant [of] Noah") are the mitzvot (commandments) and halakhot ("laws") that Judaism teaches that all non-Jews are morally bound to follow. They are listed in the Talmud and elaborated on by post-Talmudic authorities. Opinions differ on the reach of these commandments and the laws derived from them, but all contemporary authorities agree that there are seven commandments. These command ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia - Culture of Ethiopia

The culture of Ethiopia is very multi-faceted. Among many traditions, respect (especially of one's elders) is very important. In Ethiopian culture it is customary to rise up out of one's seat or give up one's bed for an older friend or family member, even if they may be just a year older. Culture of Ethiopia - Art.

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Malaysia - Roles of Islam in Malay and Malaysian Culture

Islam is central to and dominant in Malay culture. A significant number of words in the Malay vocabulary can trace their origins to Arabic which is the chosen language of Islam. This is, however, not exclusive and words from other cultures such as Portuguese, Chinese, English and French can also be found in the Malay language. Islam is so ingrained in Malay life that Islamic rituals are practised as Malay culture. Albeit not an official position or factually correct, Muslim and Malays are interchangeble in many daily contexts. Hari Ra ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Malaysia - Islam Hadhari

The term "Islam Hadhari" or progressive Islam has been introduced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to emphasize the central role of knowledge in Islam. Hard work, honesty, good administration and efficiency are equally valued. It also appeals to Muslims to be "inclusive", tolerant and outward-looking. [3] Islam Hadhari aims to achieve ten main principles: Faith and piety in Allah A just and trustworthy government A free and independent People Mastery of knowled ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Malaysia - Law and politics

As defined by the constitution of Malaysia [2], Malays ought to be Muslims or else they are not legally Malay, regardless of their ethnic heritage. Consequently, apostate Malays will have to forfeit all their constitutional privileges, including their Bumiputra status, which entitles them to affirmative action policies in university admissions, and discounts on purchases of vehicles or real estate. Parallel to the civil courts, there are Sharia courts which conduct legal matters related to religious (Islam) and family (Muslim) issues. Legal issues like Muslim divorce and Muslim apostacy are conducted ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - History of Islam - Introduction

Like most world religions, Islam's historical development has had a clear impact on the political, economic, and military history of areas inside and outside what are considered its primary geographic zones of reach (see Islamic world). As with Christendom, the concept of an Islamic world may be more or less useful in looking at different periods of history. An important strain in Islamic culture encourages identification with a quasi-political community of believers or ummah, and this component is reflected in the behavior of a number of actors in history. The history of Islam as a religion is closely rela ...

Islam - Notes: Encyclopedia II - History of Islam - The decline of political unity

The political unity of Islam began to disintegrate. The emirates, still recognizing the theoretical leadership of the caliphs, drifted into independence, and a brief revival of control was ended with the establishment of two rival caliphates: the Fatimids in north Africa, and the Umayyad's Caliphate of Cordoba in Spain (the emirs there being descended from an escaped member of that family). Eventually the Abbasids ruled as puppets for the Buwayhid emirs. A series of new invasions swept over the Islamic world. First, the newly converte ...
