Document Summary
Islam: reception of a revelation, two main religious-political groups. shahadah- is there no god above god and muhammad is his messenger (shi"i same but ali is a friend of god ) salat- muslims should pray 5 times a day facing mecca: the kabah is some orientation point, they faced jerusalem first, men and women are separated in the mosque. zakat- charitable donations: a way to connect you to the privileged muslims, standard ritual. hajj- pilgrimage to mecca: obligatory to do at least once in your lifetime, specific series of rituals in honour of muhammad. Jihad- means struggle, a struggle within myself: the interpretation as far as terrorism goes is perceived as a twist from the real meaning, the qur"an, basic source of how to live one"s life, law, complete revelation. god is called allah, arabic for god www. notesolution. com. the idea that allah is the same god is problematic.
