Showing results for "Frank" in Islam

Professor Peters' studies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam allow him to offer a series of lectures beginning with Creation and ending with the Final Judgment. In this course, Professor Peters leads listeners through a comprehensive study of each of these fundamentally monotheistic religious communities. As he concludes, only by understanding their similarities and differences can we hope to make sense of the politics of religion which continue to fuel conflicts throughout the world.

In Allah’s sight, there is no distinction between men and women: Both have the same rights and duties, both are equally rewarded or punished according to their deeds, and both are equally valued as Allah’s creations. However, throughout history, there have been negative social constructs that do not honor women’s rights. Such stereotypes created around women stand in direct opposition to the teachings of Allah and His Messengers (peace be upon them). This book is for listeners to grasp Allah’s teachings about the main roles of Muslim women in society.

Der sächsische Schriftsteller Karl May hat hierzulande durch seine Orientromane das Bild des Islams und seiner Anhänger stark geprägt. Der Muslim ist demnach Gott ergeben und fatalistisch, er schickt sich in sein vom Schöpfer bestimmtes Los und versucht dies auch nicht zu ändern. Karl May pflegte keinen Kontakt zu Muslimen, er verstand deren Schriften und Sprache nicht, er wusste nichts von der u. a. in Sure 18, Vers 29 angebotenen Wahlmöglichkeit zwischen Glauben und Unglauben.
