7 Th Century Middle East
1,188 words
When I think about music and what I enjoy about it
I think about my home country and the music that I
have known all my life. Arabic music is my
favorite musical styling. Although I have come to
enjoy classical and contemporary styling as well,
Arabic music has almost an innate quality of
enjoyment for me. I am from the Middle-East and I
have known Arabic music for the majority of my
life. Its songs speak of the life and culture of
Arabic countries and its melody is not commonly
heard on America...

Book Koran Read
463 words
The Koran, the book of Islam, is not only the
testimony of a false prophet, it is the testimony
of Antichrist. Yet, so many hearing that testimony
today are willing to believe it, to take it to
heart, to stand on it, and even to die for it -- -
as if it were written by the Spirit of Truth. Have
you ever read the Koran? It is a book that has
influenced almost as many people as the Bible. It

U S Foreign Policy American Foreign Policy
993 words
The Cold War can be most aptly characterized as an
ideological conflict between two superpowers which
enveloped and polarized the world for fifty years.
It was a conflict between communism and
capitalism, the Soviet Union versus the United
States. Both nations foreign policies were shaped
in order to retain and increase the influence of
their respective ideologies whilst restricting the
spread of the other. Since 9 - 11, U. S. foreign
policy has had similar purposes and employed

The Importance Of Ibn Khaldun In Islam
1,766 words
In the modern world Islam is seen as many things,
but rarely is it viewed as a source of inspiration
and enlightenment. Though it is a force of
enlightenment and it is not only verses of the
Quran that testify to that fact, but also the
great body of scholarship produced during the
middle Ages. While Europe was in the midst of
darkness, it was the Muslims, spurred on by the
light of their new Deen who picked up the torch of
scholarship and science. It was the Muslims who
preserved the knowledge ...

Muhammad Pbuh Bukhari Muslim Makkah
693 words
Muhammad (pbuh) was an illiterate but wise and
well-respected man who was born in Makkah in the
year 570 C. E. , at a time when Christianity was
not yet fully established in Europe. His first
years were marked by the deaths of his parents.
Since his father died before his birth, his uncle,
Abu Talib, from the respected tribe of Quraysh,
raised him. As Muhammad (pbuh) grew up, he became
known for his truthfulness, generosity and
sincerity, so that he was sought after for his
ability to arbitrate ...

Religious Comparison Of Christianity And Islam
883 words
You had to know history to understand what Bosnia
and Kosovo were all about. That conflict proved
that the war between Christianity and Islam has
never ended. Over the ages, it simply took on
different forms. Because we live in such a highly
secularized society, we cannot believe that
America could ever become involved in a religious
war in this day and age. Yet ferocious religious
wars have been going on all over the place: in
Northern Ireland, Israel, the Balkans, the Sudan
and Russia. But his...

Judaism Christianity And Islam Century Bce
1,089 words
The five books of Pentateuch
(Genesis-Deuteronomy), for example, traditionally
are ascribed to Moses. But by the eighteenth
century, many European scholars noticed problems
with that assumption. Not only does Deuteronomy
end with an account of Moses' death (a tough
assignment for any writer to describe his or her
own demise), but the entire Pentateuch shows
anomalies of style that are hard to explain if
only one author is involved. By the nineteenth
century, most scholars agreed that the Pentate...

Allegory Of The Cave Members Of Society
889 words
Dantes use of allegory in the Inferno greatly
varies from Plato's Allegory of the Cave in
purpose, symbolism, characters and mentors, and in
attitude toward the world. An analysis of each of
these elements in both allegories will provide an
interesting comparison. Dante uses allegory to
relate the sinners punishment to his sin, while
Plato uses allegory to discuss ignorance and
knowledge. Dantes Inferno describes the descent
through Hell from the upper level of the
opportunists to the most evil,...

My Acquaintance With Africa I thought I knew

continent with a hot tropical climate and a
wealthy nature, which is populated by many
different nations and tribes. I saw many movies,
mostly about African nature and often read
newspapers or magazines about frequent wars and
economical problems. But I never made acquaintance

Oneness With Allah Representative Of Allah Law
342 words
The political system of Islam is based on the
three principles of Tawhid (Oneness with Allah
(God) ), Risala (Prophet hood), and Khilafa
(Caliphate). Tawhid means that Allah alone is the
Creator, Sustainer, and Master of the universe and
of all that exists in it- organic or inorganic. He
alone has the right to command or forbid, and
worship and obedience are due to him alone. The
Islams believe that it is not for them to decide
the aim or purpose of our existence or to set the
limits of our worl...

Afghanistan followed the same fate as dozens of

collapse of Moscow's Marxist government in 1991.
Islamic factions, which had united to expel the
Russian occupiers in 1992, began to fight among
themselves when it became apparent that
post-communist coalition governments could not
