The Role of the Qur’an in Muslim Religion

When Muhammad was 40 years old, he had his first revelation, and they continued until his death in 632. He claimed his visions were from God sent through the angel Gabriel. Muhammad then recited messages in the name of God. These were recorded to make up the main source of sacred text for the Muslims, called the Qur’an (Islam Origins). Muhammad’s main revelations were that: “God is one, He is good and all powerful; All men and women will be judged by Allah on the Last Day; We must all respond to the world with g... ... middle of paper ... ...iefs and Practices of Islam."

This is proven in the Qur’an when Allah says: “…it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah!” (22:78) (Ali) All prophets and messengers, from Adam to Muhammad, conveyed the same message which was to worship Allah only through salat. Prophet Ibrahim used to pray regularly and invoked his Lord to make his descendants establish salat as it’s stated in the Qur’an: O my Lord! Make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord!

Islam believes that each person is born pure. The Holy Quran tells us that God has given human beings a choice between good and evil and to seek God’s pleasure through faith, prayer and charity. Islam’s main message is to worship God and to treat all of God’s creation with kindness and compassion. Works Cited admin, Islam.ca. what is islam.

This story of creation is very similar to the story written in the book of Genesis with slight differences. However, in both stories, pride was the reason for its fall.

The question topic Describe and analyse how beliefs influence actions and how actions influence beliefs based on Islamic theology firstly one must begin to understand or define the meaning of belief which is ‘A light god creates in the heart of a person’ also ‘something believed; an opinion or conviction’ A believer should believe in Allah (swt) his Angels, his books, his messengers also in the last day and Alqdar (The Devine Creed). Actions and influence through belief on Islamic Theology is seen to believe in Allah is the message that all prophets brought to humanity and shay-tan (satan) has made it easy for mankind to avoid this important step to believe in a creator. To believe that there is a divine body intangible that compose the good and bad of a person this is that an angelic presence not witnessed by the naked eye is in fact writing what we see not. His book the Quran “is the starting point of Islamic theology and indeed in all things Islamic.” The believer must engage and understand what was to be taught by the final messenger Mohammad (saw) and the great prophets Abraham, Moses, Isa etc.

From these aspects of faith one can seek justice and morality through God, the one who wills and acts justly. Spiritual morality and justice are filtered from God and should not be questioned. We should take what he gives us and use it responsibly. Doing what is right and just in the eyes of the lord will draw one closer to the almighty.

The word Qur'an literally means "reading or recitation." One directly experiences the Qur’anic revelation by reciting it. The origin of the Qur’an began with a revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad by Allah (God). More revelations continuously came throughout the course of Muhammad’s life to which all were written and compiled together to make the Qur’an. The book serves as an inspirational and religious guidance for Muslim followers as it speaks of doctrines and rules primarily conveying the Word of God.

Muhammad had a vision when Gabriel the angel came to him telling him that he should be a “prophet of Allah.” Muhammad continued to have these visions, in which he would blurt out “ethereal statements” which later composed the Koran. New interpretations have created religious differences between Christians and Islamic people and their religions. Christians follow the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule in which they are not allowed to commit murder or adultery. In the Old Testament, adultery was punished by death. The New Testament is much less violent and harsh; for example, "regarding a woman caught in adultery, Jesus said that whoever is without sin should cast the first stone."

They believe that in order for an individual to gain paradise after death, he or she should submit to the will of God. Also, the moral code of the Christian religion is the correct belief of having faith. Christian religion believes that they should always do good things to avoid bad things in order for them to emulate Jesus Christ. On the other hand, Islam religion has a different goal of life. They believed all Muslims should be faithful and sincere to their God (Allah).
