Pre-Islamic
The Arabian Peninsula the birthplace of Islam is one of the hottest and driest regions in the world, mainly consisting of desert. Since ancient times the tribes of the nomadic race had populated the region. Regarded as descendants of Noah's third son Shem they are called Semites. Over the centuries theses Semitic people have migrated into the Fertile Crescent and has been assimilated into the existing civilization.
In the sixth century, in the northern Arabian Peninsula two great powers locked in a seesaw struggle for power. The Christian Byzantine kingdom, successors of the Roman Empire to the Northwest and the master of the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Palestinian territories. In the northeast lay the Zoroastrian Persian empire. Both the Byzantine and Persian kingdoms have Arab tribes allied with the cause of their clients trade and conquest.
Arabian Peninsula to land cover for those who seek an escape from the kingdom. Heretic Christian sects like the Nestorians, and Jewish tribes escaping from the oppressive Byzantine protective refuge in the desert and the cities of the peninsula.
Saudi Arabia is divided into tribes and cities. Every city has its gods and goddesses. Once a year the tribes and Arab cities will meet in the city of Mecca during an event known as the hajj. In Mecca, the Kaaba (Cube), a large cube-shaped building located 360 idols from all the Arab tribes. Ka'bah is the center of Arabian religious life.Here all the warring tribes would put aside their differences as they circled the Kaaba. From the Kaba they would proceed to the holy places outside Mecca during the five-day religious event. Hajj is a tradition that Arabs of the peninsula remember back hundreds of years.
Muhammad
At that time the world is Muhammad ibn Abdullah was born in the year 570 AD in Mecca. His father died before he was born and his mother Amina died when he was 6 years old. Al-Muttalib took over the boy and his grandfather died two years later. Abu Talib his uncle adopted young Mohammed into his family and raised him as his own child. At age 12, young Mohammed was taken in company-caravan to Syria and experience the world outside Saudi Arabia for the first time. Following Islamic tradition tells us that a Christian priest named Buhaira, said his nephew Talib is the last prophet and warns him about the Jews. For the next 13 years little is known of his life except that he was involved in the caravan trade in and out of Saudi.
At age 25, Muhammad married a wealthy 40-year-old, a widow named Khadija who have trade caravans. Over the next 15 years of his life he interactes with Arabs known as Hanefites. Hanefites are Arabs who rejected idol worship and are looking for a true religion.They look to Judaism and Christianity as close to the goal. The Hanefites abandonded their idols and would retreat to the caves of Mecca in meditation and prayer.
At age 40 Muhammad had his first vision in the year 610 AD. He was in a cave on Mt. Hera and thought he was demon possessed.He went to Khadija and told her about the incident. He consulted with his uncle Waraca, a Hanefite who converted to Christianity, who assured them that Muhammad is the vision of God. Waraca claim Muhammad was a prophet for the Arabs, Waraca died two years later had become a Muslim.
Muhammad declared Allah as the one true God and reject idolatry of Mecca. Khadijah, his wife, was Mohammed's first convert to Islam.Some listened to the message of Muhammad and the growing hostility against him as he faced the pagans and taught religion to Mecca. His uncle Abu Talib and his tribe of Mecca Hasims protect it during the initial period. In 619 Khadija and Abu Talib died. Abu Talib led the clan Hashim, that Muhammad was a member. The new leader of the Hasim tribe his uncle Abu Lahab refused to protect Muhammad. Over the next 3 years Mohammed would fear for his life. He sought refuge and protection in the nearby towns of those who seek his life.
Then in 621 during the Hajj, Arab tribes of the city Yatrob later called Medina, came to the annual pilgrimage. They met and considered him as the prophet Mohammed and invited him to their city to bring peace and settling disputes between warring tribes. Yathrob founded by three Jewish tribes and the idea of ​​monotheism has been known to Arab tribes. The Arabs of Medina has been notified by the Jewish tribes of the coming Messiah who will one day conquer the world, including Arabic. Arab tribes hoped to find this individual before the Jews. Meeting Mohammed they thought he was the one.The Hijra (Flight)The next year the situation became unbearable for the Muslims and in June 622 they make what has become known as the Hijra, or flight. In a small group of 150 Muslims from Mecca to Medina went 280 miles to the north. When they reached Mecca about the escape to Medina they tried to kill Muhammad. Muhammad and Abu Bakr able to sneak out of town and fled to Medina by another route in September 622.
In Medina Arab tribes are fighting conveyed to Muhammad and the prophet-hood leadership. Jewish tribes rejected claims of prophet and ridiculed his revelations. With most new arrivals from Mecca without work they need to make a living. Ghazu or rob the caravan is the way the tribes would prevent one tribe from becoming to powerful. The Muslims in Medina began to rob the caravans heading for Mecca. This is where the Muslim doctrine of Jihad has been made.With their caravan business is threatened, Mecca responds with one thousand soldiers in the battle of Bedr in March 624 the Muslims fielded 300 warriors. The battle went to the Muslims. Muhammad claimed his victory was a sign from God and his status in Medina enlarged. Lack of enthusiasm by one of the Jewish tribes were expelled by their lead to win the Muslim army. Also changed the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Mecca as the Jews rejected Muhammad's prophet-hood.Exactly one last year in Mecca collecting 3000 warrior battle of Uhud and the Muslims fielded 1000 soldiers. The battle did not go as planned. The Muslims defeated by Mecca retreated to Medina.Discouraged, Muslims blamed the second Jewish tribe as conspirators against their cause. Homes and possessions were confiscated, and they were expelled from the city in 626 AD.Meccan caravans in the hope of an end to attacks by Muslims gathered 10 000 soldiers to attack the city of Medina in 627. After a siege of two weeks in the sun they are unable to penetrate the fortress like city. They returned to Mecca. After this attack did not succeed, Muhammad and the Muslims attacked the last remaining Jewish tribe. Tribe surrendered to the mercy of Muhammad. The people were killed and the women and children sold as slaves.The Muslims then began to consolidate their power by Arab tribes in the vicinity and the city.Mecca began to feel the economic impact of trading losses and Mohammed growing strength in the north. They are reluctant to sign a peace treaty with Muhammad Hudaybiah 10 years and the Muslims in March 628. Muslims are allowed to return to Mecca and worship at the Kaaba once a year. The people of Mecca to leave their city so Muslims can come and worship.Two years later, in January 630, Muhammad led the 10 000 soldiers to Mecca and Hudaybiah cancel the agreement because the Muslims have been killed. The city is subject to Muhammad and his soldiers and accepted him as a prophet. Muhammad went to the Kaaba and destroyed the 360 ​​idols in the structure. Of Mecca, "Muslims" wage Jihad in the surrounding cities forcing them to accept Islam as a religion and Muhammad as their prophet.Muhammad made his final Hajj in 632 and died unexpectedly three months later in June. Friends and in-law Abu Bakr (father of Aisha) succeeded him as leader of the MuslimAfter MuhammadAbu Bakr received the title "Caliph" or successor of Muhammad.They are a struggle over who will replace Mohammad, some felt Ali the husband of Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad proper position. Under the authority of Abu Bakr Islam in the Arabian Peninsula is complete. At 634 AD Abu Bakr died and was succeeded by Umar (Omar) 2 nd Caliphate.Umar advanced the Muslim armies of Syria and Palestine. At 637 AD, the Byzantine army lost control of Jerusalem to Islam. Uthman Caliph Umar-3 successfully. Uthman ordered a complete revision of the Quran, this will lead to rebellion. He was murdered and his death is considered justified by the rebels claimed that he stopped being a Muslim. After that Uthman occurred a battle between rival Islamic factions over who is the legitimate successor to lead Islam.
Ali the 4th Caliph, Mohammad's son-in-law and husband of Fatima, succeeded Uthman everybody did not accept him as a legitimate Caliph. The war broke out between rival groups, the succession did not last long, two years later he was killed, Shiite Party (Ali) mourned the death of Ali, and his two sons (Muhammad's grandson). Ali honored as a saint by the Shiites who dominate in Iran and Iraq.Shi'a feel Ali was the legitimate successor to Muhammad and did not recognize the three caliphs before. The Sunnis accept Ali and the first three Caliphate as legitimate.After the defeat of the Byzantine and Persian kingdoms in successive battles, the Muslim army advanced in Europe. In the 100 years of Muhammad's death Muslim armies reached the city of Tours, in France. Muslim advance was stopped at Tours.In the Battle of Tours Charles Martel the grandfather of Charlemagne defeated the Muslim army advanced. From Tours Muslim power in Europe retreated and in 1489 Fredinand and Isabella of Spain defeated troops remaining in Spain. Later, the Ottoman Empire would withdraw from all over Europe.In the East, Islam also developed in the 13th century, Islam had reached the Pacific Ocean. Islamic faith now spanned from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Ferdinand Magellan, in his attempt to bypass Muslim controlled areas in the Indian Ocean, found its way to Asia via the Atlantic Ocean. His desire was to bring Christianity to Asia, before Islam. Magellan succeeded in introducing Christianity to the Philippines (named after King Philip of Spain) Islam and Christianity meet in the Philippines as the Northern Isles to convert to Christianity and the southern Philippines and Indonesia has entered Islam. Islam and Christianity became the religion of the world's main rival.Islam TodayToday Islam is in conflict, between secular Western culture and traditional Islamic culture. The growth of Islamic fundamentalism is an attempt to reach back to the glory of Islamic history. Many Fundamentalist (Muslim) ask yourself the question, If Islam is the religion of Allah, why we were defeated by the West (United States) and Israel. Fundamentalists see the problems the failure of Muslim countries to live as the Koran commands. The views are not living the life required by God, as specified in the Koran and the traditions and because it was defeated by the West, fundamentalism is a spark. Today there are ideological struggle within Islam between moderates and fundamentalists. Understanding the book of Islam is equally important to understand its history. Books of Islam shape both culture and philosophy of the Muslim worldIslamic BooksHistory of Quran:Qur'an:"Reading" Al-Quran is the "Word of God" for Islam. About 4/5 the length of the New Testament. Muslims believe the identical book on Heaven and God sent the angel Gabriel to Muhammad to reveal "the word" her. Quran is divided into 114 chapters or Suras. The Sura is a revelation given to Muhammad during the 23 years of "Prophethood" from 610 AD to 632 AD.Quran, composed during Muhammad's life according to the time and circumstances of his life. The Suras, or chapters can be divided into three periods of time.The Sura of the earliest is the shortest and is known as Early Meccan, and date of AD 610-622. Composed in Mecca, where Muhammad before Hijra fled to Medina in September 622 AD.The Sura Median prepared for the Muslims took the city of Medina.They are currently 622-630 AD. The doctrine of Jihad was introduced as a war waged against the pagans of Mecca and.Hatred against Jews and Christians because they refused to increase as the prophet Muhammad from God.Meccan Sura end is between 630 and 632 AD. The last two years of Muhammad's life after Mecca surrendered to authorities.Al Quran is not currently collected in one book, but memorized and collected on a variety of items. In the battle of Yamamah in 633 AD many of Hafiz died. The Hafiz were Muslims who have done a lot of the Quran to memory. With the insistence of Umar, Zayd ibn Thabit, one of Muhammad's most trusted secretaries was appointed to the task of collecting the Qur'an in one book. But then after the various versions of the Qur'an began to appear all the collection commissioned Zaid Al Quran throughout the Muslim world and publishing a copy of the official on-site collected.Quran makes it interesting for the beauty and consistency with previous scriptures as proof of inspiration.23 And if ye are in doubt about what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce QS. like the ark, and to call witnesses or helpers (if any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.24 But if ye can not - and from your guarantor can not - then fear the Fire which fuel is Men and Stones - which is prepared for the unbelievers. QS. 2:23-24Hadith:"Tradition" After the death of Muhammad, his followers collected the sayings and actions in books to guide and direct their beliefs. They give additional meaning behind Sura and help to interpret its meaning. The most respected Hadith are Bukari, and Muslim.Muslims do not feel the Hadith is the "Word of God". They will compare the Hadith, to the Gospel, who reported what Jesus said.Quran is the Word of God from Heaven via Gabriel.Who is a Muslim: Muslim is a person who has submitted to Allah.One submission to God in recognition of the Shahada or the 5 pillars of faith. In addition to the five major beliefs or doctrines in Islam, there is a celebration of the fundamental Islamic practices or duties every Muslim must observe.
Five Pillars of FaithA. "Recognition" "La ilaha illa llah" "There is no god but Allah." The Shahada, (Testimoney)Kalima There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of God.2. Salat prayers five times a day facing Mecca3. Zakat alms4. Fasting during Ramadan, from sunrise to sunset.5. Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetimeThe Islamic BeliefFive Articles of FaithA. God: There is only one true God, and his name is Allah. God is all the judges, who know all-powerful and sovereign. But God is not a personal God, because he was so far above man in every way that he can not know personally. Emphasis is on assessment of Allah Islam and power, not grace and mercy. For the Muslim mind, the father called God means God connotes sexual relations.255 God! there is no god but He, the living, a life of self, eternal.Sleep no one could catch him, or heaven and on earth. Who is there can intercede in his presence except as he permitteth? he knows what (appeareth to creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass any of his knowledge except as he chooses.Throne encompasses the heavens and the earth, and he feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the most high, supreme (in glory). QS. 2:2552. Angel: Angel of God in Islam serve as Gabriel gave the Koran to Mohammed. Angels do not perform any bodily functions (sexual, eating, etc..) Because they were created from light. Angels serve different purposes, each person has two recording angels who record his / her good or bad deeds.Jin: What spiritual beings created from fire .... who are ranked between angels and humans and can be either good or bad. Satan is a Jinn and not a fallen angel according to Islam.27 And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of hot wind.Surah15: 27Satan: A Jinn who refused to fall prostrate before Adam after he had made. He was the leader of the bad guys in the world.50. And (remember) when We said to the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam,and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so herebelled against his Lord's command. Would you vote for him and his descendants toprotecting friends instead of me, when they are enemies to you?Disaster is an exchange for offenders!Sura 18:503. The Bible: There are four inspired books in Islam. Quran, Torah, Torah Ingil and Psalms, Ingi l and the Psalms: "Books of Moses, the Gospel of Jesus, and the Psalms of David," This is a book mentioned in the Quran as the Word of God, but Muslims feel the book is currently the most corrupt. For this reason God gave Muhammad a "Quran". Many Muslims try to find Muhammad in the Bible and felt he was mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:16, John 14:6.4. Prophet: In Islam God has spoken through the prophets many centuries, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.Prophet is the greatest and last prophet Muhammad, he is the seal of the prophets.163 We have sent thee inspiration as We sent it to Noah and his apostles after him: We sent inspiration to Abraham, Ismail Ismaÿil, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and David We gave the Psalms.164 Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others We have not, and to Moses Allah spoke directSura 4:163-1645. Last Day: The last days will be a time Ressurrection and assessment.:Resurrection: Everyone will be resurrected to stand before God to be judged in the hereafter. Those who follow Allah and Muhammad will go to Paradise others will go to hell. All people will pass through hell and even some Muslims will spend time in hell until their sins burned away and Mohammad prayed for them.
Hell: Hell is where God's judgment where Muslims will spend some time before entering paradise, unbelievers will have a way out.Muslims believe that Muhammad will intercede for them and free them from Hell.Abu Sa'id al-KhudriSahih MuslimThe Prophet (peace be upon him) said: (permanent) inhabitants of hell are those who are destined for it, and surely they will not die or live in it (al-quran QurŸan, xx.47; liiixii. 13). But the people who the hell would happen to (temporarily) because of their sins, or so said (the narrator) "for their misdeeds," He will cause them to die until they are turned into charcoal. Then they will be given intercession and will be brought in the group and will spread in the rivers of paradise, and then it will say: O people of Paradise, pour water over them, then they will grow so as to grow from seed in the silt carried by the flood. A man among the people say: (It seems) as if the Prophet lived in the steppes.Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik (Hadith)Abdullah bin AbbasThen I saw hell - and I have never seen anything more horrible than what I saw today - and I see that most people are women.They said, 'Why, O Messenger of Allah? "He said, "Because of their ungratefulness (infidels), 'Someone said, 'Are they ungrateful to Allah? "He said, 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for their good behavior (towards them). Even if you were to behave well towards one of them for a lifetime and then he is to see you do something (which he did not like) she would say that he had never seen anything good from you. '"Paradise: Described in the Quaran as place under the earth which flow rivers of wine and "wide eyed" virgin beauty.And around them will (serve) youths perpetual (freshness): If you look at them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls.20 And when thou lookest, it's there and you see Bliss Realm Magnificent.21 Once they are green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them to drink of the Wine Pure and Holy.22 Surely this is a reply to you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognized.QS. 76:19-22 See also Surah 2:25;Christianity and IslamJesus: Jesus was a prophet and not the Son of God. He was just a prophet for Jews who crucified but raised to Heaven. God put a substitute in his place on the cross. Many Muslims feel that Judas' replacement. Jesus is the Messiah who would come in late. He will kill all Jews, Christians and pigs destroy all crosses get married and died 40 years later and was buried next to Muhammad in Medina.Resurrection will follow.157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah" - but they killed him not nor crucified him, but once it is made to appear to them, and they are full of doubt at odds , without the knowledge of (certain), but only conjecture to follow, for sure they killed him not-158 No, Allah raised him up unto His own, and Allah is Mighty, Wise-Surah 4:157-158,So peace is on me the day I was born, the day I die, and on that dayI was raised up to life (again)!Sura 19:33The Holy Spirit: The angel Gabriel is recognized as the Holy Spirit in Islam, or as some commentators think angels in general.If ye two turn is repentance to Him, your hearts are so inclined, but if you support one another against him, truly Allah is his Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who believe, and furthermore, the angels will back (him) up.Sura 66:4Safety: The Muslims believe in salvation by obedience to God.Mohammed will intercede on behalf of Muslims in the presence of God. In scale, God will weigh sins and good deeds to determine the punishment. Time in Hell will be required to pay for the sins that outweigh good deeds. After that "Muslim" will be accepted in heaven. Non-believers will go to hell without hope of escape. Those who die in Jihad or holy war will go straight to heaven where 72 virgins will be waiting for him.Ibn al-Miqdam madikarib Ma'dikarib (Hadith)Mishkat Al Masabih-(Hadith)The Prophet (saw) said, "The martyr receives six good things from God: he is forgiven at the first shedding of his blood: he is shown living in paradise, he preserved from the punishment in the grave, he is kept safe from the greatest terror, he has placed on her head a crown honor, a ruby ​​is better than the world and what it contains, he is married to seventy-two wives of the girls with big dark eyes, and is made intercessor for seventy of his relatives. "Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.Mishkat Al Masabih-(Hadith)The Prophet (saw) said, "the lowest of the people of Paradise will be he who has eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives, and for whom a round pavilion of pearls, chrysoprase and rubies as large as the distance between al-Jabiyah and San'a will be set up . "By the same isnad he said," Those who go to heaven, the good die young or old,Sin: Man is born without sin and all people are Muslims from birth.But the lack of obedience to God is sin. Sin is to act alone and not by nature.Source of the Quran:Where the Quran come from? Quran claims Allah is the source of the Quran is a copy of the same book is written in Heaven given Gabriel to be given to Mohammad in the interval.105 We sent down this (Quran) in truth, and truth has come down: and We sent thee but to give glad tidings and to warn (sinners).106 (is) a Quran which We have divided (into parts from time to him), so that thou mightest read it to men at intervals: We have revealed it in stages.Surah 117:105-6History gives us a different answer. Quran can be traced to a source that existed before the birth of Muhammad. Some of these sources can be found below.Jewish sources from the QuranA. Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon, as recorded in Sura 27:17-30And before Solomon, who marshalled his hosts, of Jinns and men and birds, and they are all kept in order and ranks.18 Finally, when they came to a (lower) valley of ants, one of the ants said: O ye ants, get into the nest, so that Sulayman and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it.Sura 27:17-18It's the same story almost word for word is recorded in the Talmud work II Targum Esther 1.22. Abraham was saved from the fire of Nimrod as recorded in Sura, following 2:260 6:74-84, 21:52-72, 19:42-50, 26:69-79, 24:15-16, 37:81-95 ,We are given time about Abraham honesty about behavior, and our good friends with him.52 Behold! he told his father and his people, what these images, that you (so assiduously) devoted? 53 They answered, We found our fathers worshiping them.Sura 21: 52-53Sources for this story is from the Midrash Rabbah on Genesis3. Cain and Abel Sura 5:30-35Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. Woe is me, he said: I was not even able to do as this crow and to hide the shame of my brother? then he became full of remorse-Sura 5:30The source of this story can be found in the bookPirke Rabbi Eleaszer in the Midrash. The only difference is that the crow shows Adam not Cain how to bury Abel.4. Harut and Marut The two angles of Babylon.They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men magic and such things down in Babylonthe angels Harut and Marut.Sura 2:109This same story is taken from the Midrash Yalkut distinguishes only two angels named are Shamhazi and azael. But the names of Harut and Marut were two idols worshiped far back in Armenia. They are assistants to Aspandaramit female goddess. Zoroastrians consider the spirit of the earth.Heretical Christian Resources
5. Seven Sleepers, or Companions Cave. QS. 18:9-26
9 Or dost thou reflect that the companions of the cave and the inscription were wonders among our signs?10 Behold, the Youths betook Themselves to the cave: They said, our Lord bestow on us mercy from thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way11 Then we draw (a veil) over Their ears, for a number of years,in the cave, (so That They heard not): Sura 18:9-11The legend is Greek and is found in the Latin work of Gregory of Tours. Seven men of the city of Ephesus take refuge from persecution in a cave during the reign of Decius (249-251 AD) They wake in the reign of Theodorus II 447 AD. Christianity being the faith of the empire. This was a mere story to illustrate the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire.Zoroastrian Sources6. Quranic view of Paradise Sura 55:72, 56:22Round about them will (serve) Youths of perpetual (Freshness),18 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of Clear flowing fountains:19 No after-ache They will receive therefrom, nor will They Suffer intoxication:20 And with fruits, That They may select any;21 And the flesh of fowls, any That They may desire.22 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyesSura 56:18-22The picture of Paradise with beautiful virgins waiting for download is not found in any of the Old or New Testament but can be traced to the Zoroastrian concept of Paradise Paries or Fairies-spirits in bright array and beautiful, to Captivate the heart of a man. The name is derived from an houry Avesta or Pahlavi source. As well as jinn for genii and bihvisht (Paradise) signifying in Avestic "The better land".Islamic Fundamentalism:Fundamentalism is a literal hard-line view of the world through the eyes of the Quran. Islam at war with the Jews and Christians to rule the world in the way of Allah. As previously fought with the Muslim cities refused to accept Muhammad as a prophet, Fundamentalist see themselves engaged in jihad [1] or Holy War against the West.Fundamentalists see the United States as the power of the devil in a battle with Islam. Television, movies, alcohol, natural lifestyle and their influence on Muslim countries and Western U.S. hole at war with Islam. Furthermore, the United States supports Israel enrages Muslims, Israel is seen as an enemy # 1 to the Muslim countries. For three main reasons;A. There are a lot of hostility toward Jews in the Koran and Hadith.They saw the Jews were seen as killers of prophets and enemies of God. Muslim who is strict student of the Koran see themselves at war with the Jews.Bukari (Hadith)The Apostle of Allah (saw) said: The Last Hour will not come unless the Muslims will fight the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him; but Gharqad tree will not say, for it is the tree of Jews.Sahih Muslim (Hadith)O ye who believe Take not Jews and Christians for friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. Surah 5:512. The nation of Israel occupies land formerly held by Muslims and fundamentalists see themselves as warriors in the battle to regain the land. Palestinian suffering is a call for Muslim countries to fight jihad.3. Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock: Location of Solomon's Temple is the most holy place for Muslims to-3. And Jerusalem has been the holy Muslim city during the 13th century. Dome of the Rock was built on temple sites to show Islam as a religion last in the world.Talk Jews rebuild the Temple has angered the Muslim world.The situation with Israel, the West and the Islamic fundamentalist cause to apply the principle of Jihad in the West. America is seen as idolatrous Mecca who stood in the way of the progress of Islam.Attacks on the West via terrorism is seen as justified by the attacks against the enemies of Islam in the same way the early Islamic army to wage war against his enemies.Jihad: Jihad is a war in the way of God in which the fighter gains immediate entry to heaven. Muslims have the right to kill anyone who has attacked Muslim sovereignty. It is considered one of theAllah has purchased of the believers and their goods, because they (re) is the Garden (Paradise): they fight in His Cause, and the killing and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and QurŸan Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his Covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have done it, and that's a great victory.Surah 9:111.if they withdraw not from you or give you (guarantees) of peace besides holding their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: in their case we have provided you with a clear argument against them.Surah 4:91190 Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for Allah loves not the transgressors.191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out, because the noise and oppression are worse than slaughter, but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there, but if they fight you, slay them.Such is the reward the people who suppress faithSura 2:190-191
