Document Summary
We haven"t talked about satan but it is important to know. One of the problems many muslims face, especially in america, is that many americans assume that all muslims are rooted in the middle east & that it"s not a widespread religion. The quran is never translated it is always in arabic because that was how they were delivered by god. Arabic becomes the shared language of the religion and of prayer. Hadith: records of traditions, stories, and sayings of muhammad. Muslim can be a noun and an adjective. This becomes a problem when people begin to talk about the religion: say islam or the muslim religion, but never the islam religion. Earth is no longer necessary: the only this that is guaranteed to get you to hell is idolatry. Both humans and djinn have free will. Djinn are fire beings (they have free will, they are mortal: angels: made of life.
