  3. Understanding Islam Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. More than 1.2 billion people in the world ( about 26% of the world’s population ) profess Islam as their faith, making one out five human beings in the world a Muslim. Muslims can be found in all regions of the world - from Europe to America to Africa and to Asia-Pacific. The Muslims in Singapore can be Malays, Arabs, Indians, Chinese and Eurasians. But how well do you know their beliefs and practices? Take a look at our slides and you will know!

  4. Basics of Islam Islam is a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness. Peace is achieved through active obedience to the revealed Commandments of God.

  5. [2] The Messenger of Islam Muhammad (peace upon him) was the Prophet and Messenger through whom God sent the last divine revelation to humankind. Muhammad was born around the year 570 C.E. in the Arabian city of Makkah. In the middle of the city stands an ancient house of worship called the Ka’bah, which is believed to exist from the time of Abraham and his son Ishmael. When he was 40 years old, God called him to teach people to worship the One God and revealed to him the text of the Holy Qur’an. But Muhammad faced severe opposition and persecution from the population of Makkah, who believed in multiple pagan deities. In the early fall of 622, Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Makkah, northward to the town of Yathrib.

  6. [3] The Ka’bah The Ka’bah is the black one- room cubical stone structure in the courtyard of the Great Mosque at Makkah. It was built by Adam and rebuilt Ibrahim ( Abraham ) and his son, Ismail ( Ishmael ) as the first place on Earth wholly dedicated to the worship of God Almighty. It has been given the honorary name, Beitallah-alharam. The interior of the Ka’bah is now completely empty, and it is not entered except for a ritual cleaning each year. A new black cloth covering, called the kiswah, embroidered in gold with Qur’anic calligraphy, is made for it each year.When Muslims pray, wherever in the world they are, they face toward the Ka’bah. During the Hajj -- a spiritual pilgrimage that every Muslim aspires to enact at least once in his or her life -- pilgrims circle the Ka’bah seven times in a ritual called the “tawaf,” or circumambulation, literally a walking of the circumferance. The tawaf is also performed throughtout the rest of the year.

  7. This is the Ka’bah!

  8. [4]How do Muslims practice their faith? Islam, in Arabic, means “ submission,” that is, submission to the will of God. It also means “ peace,” specifically, the peace one finds through submission to God’s will. Muslims can be seen observing all of these to varying degrees, for the responsibility of fulfilling the obligations lies on the shoulders of each individual. I- the profession of faith (shahadah): This is a statement of the words, “there is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” II-prayer (salah): Muslims pray 5 times a day

  9. II-prayer (salah): Muslims pray 5 times a day--at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset and evening--facing towards the Ka’bah, which is the house of God, in the Great mosque at Makkah. They may pray wherever they are when prayer-tme arrives, in any clean place, preferably in the company of other Muslims. On Fridays at noon, Muslims pray in congregational mosques; this weekly prayer is called the Jumah.

  10. III- Fasting (Sawm): Everyday from dawn to dusk during the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual contact and, even more than at other times, they must also avoid undesirable, or imperfect behaviours.

  11. IV- Pilgrimage (Hajj): The journey to Makkah is obligatory once in a lifetime for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to make it.The Hajj proper is made between the 8th and 13th days of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, and every Pilgrim carries out specified rituals at particular times. At any one time of year, Muslims can perform similar prayers and rituals and thus complete the ‘Umrah’, or “lesser pilgrimage.”

  12. [5] Articles Of Faith There are seven Articles of Faith in Islam. These basic beliefs shape the Islamic way of life. (1) Belief in the Oneness of God: There is One God, Supreme and Eternal, Creator and Provider, Who is Merciful and Compassionate. God has neither father nor mother, and no sons or daughters. God has never fathered anyone, nor was He fathered. God has no equals. He is God of all humankind, not of a special tribe, race, or group of people. He is the God of all races and colours, of believers and unbelievers alike. God is Mighty and Supreme, yet is also very near to pious, thoughtful believers, answering their prayers and helping them. God asks us to know Him, to love Him, and to follow His Law,for our own benefit and salvation.

  13. (2) Belief in the Angels of God Angels are purely spiritual beings created by God. (3) Belief in the Revelations (Books) of God Muslims believe in the Revelations sent by Almighty God to His Prophets and Messengers. (4) Belief in the Prophets of God All Messengers and Prophets of God were mortal human beings endowed with Divine Revelations and appointed by God to teach humankind how to submits to His will and obey His Laws.

  14. (5) Belief in the Day of Judgement Muslims believe in a foreordained the Day of Judgment and in Heaven and Hell (6) Belief in the Predestination(Qadar) Muslims believe that Almighty God has knowledge of, and control over, everything that exists in all time and space. (7)Belief in Resurrection after death After the world ends, Muslims believe that people who have died will be brought back to life (or, ressurrected) in order to face the judgement rendered to each of them by Almighty God.

  15. [6] Modes of Worship There are 5 obligatory daily prayers, performed at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and evening. These can be done at home, in the workplace, outdoors, or in a mosque. One can pray individually or in a congregation. Muslims attend obligatory weekly congregational worship every Friday at noon. In addition to congregational prayers, a sermon is given during this time.
