Recommended: Clarify Islam as monotheistic

El arte Islámico nació en la península Arábiga, con la dinastía omeya en los años 661-750, y al mismo tiempo por medio de sus mandatarios se fueron dispersando para la conquista de Persia, Egipto, el Norte de África, e incluso la península Ibérica. El arte islámico es un arte original, que ha sabido re-interpretar las distintas influencias que se recibieron durante el proceso de su formación, como son las artes clásicas, bizantinas o las distintas tradiciones de aquellos pueblos nómadas. La prohibición coránica de representar a Dios influyo en la evolución de las distintas disciplinas artística, desarrollándose sobre todo en la arquitectura y en la decoración ligadas estrechamente.
Mozzati (2010), nos muestra que el Islam es una religión caracterizada absoluta e intransigentemente por el monoteísmo, ellos tienen una visión radical y unitaria del mundo, siendo indiferente a las particularidades históricas, sociales, culturales y radicales de sus adherentes. El Islam y su lengua, la cual es el árabe, constituyeron una unión poderosa de varias tradiciones culturales, componiendo una combinación muy homogénea que informo una amplia escala de las civilizaciones, así como la experiencia espiritual y la política que tuvieron a millones de personas en diferentes naciones. Cada modismo se fue desarrollando gradualmente el arte y la costumbre, aunque ya reconocida con una identidad islámica, con el tiempo fue adquiriendo cada quien su carácter individual.

La Religión Islámica
Quien tiene como profesión la religión Islámica, siempre tiene como legado de que “No hay otro Dios, sino que Dios y Mahoma que es su profeta. necesario pronunciar estas palabras al frente de dos testigos y automáticamente se convierte en musulmán, claro que después de convertirse en musulmán tiene que seguir al pie con todo lo que se le inculca a los musulmanes. El término “Allah” es derivado de la raíz Árabe-Semita ‘lh que significa “divinidad” claro en sentido genérico, en Árabe la palabra Al-ilah significa el Uno y único Dios. La doctrina de la omnipotencia y la libertad absoluta de Allah llevo al concepto de que el mundo fue creado y está continuamente surgida por Dios.
Los Cinco Pilares del Islam
Todo aquel individuo que se convierte en musulmán tiene que cumplir las cinco obligaciones primarias o mejor conocidas como los pilares de la fe, ellas son las siguientes:
Primero está el Shahadah, que es el primer pilar del Islam, en esta obligación o primer pilar los musulmanes dan testimonio acerca la unicidad de Dios, recitando “No hay más Dios que Dios y Muhammad es el mensajero de Dios.

  • The Islamic Spain

    1842 Words  | 4 Pages

    Islamic Spain can be seen as one of the only societies that has grasped the importance of synergy and placed this notion above the typical need for absolute control. It is here where adherents of three religions coexisted and thrived culturally, economically, and intellectually. Two works explain the history of Islamic Spain, one being a documentary by Gardner Films, Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain, and the other a book by Tamim Ansary called Destiny Disrupted: A History of The World Through Islamic Eyes. While both Ansary and Gardner Films explore the themes of Spain under Islamic rule, Gardner Films provides the viewer with a more thorough history of the region whereas Ansary remains brief and narrow with his narration. The documentary Cities of Light provides a view of Islamic Spain from its beginning to its very end.

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA as it is commonly known, is among the world’s largest art collections in North America, and to be specific enough the most prevalent artwork in the western United States (Compton 165). This massive art museum has a collection of over 100,000 artworks, which extends from the ancient times to present days (Gilbert and Mills 174). These collections, which are mainly from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin-America and America itself, are grouped into several departments within the museums buildings, depending on the region, culture, media, and time period. This paper analyzes the different genres of art and explains the main features that make the Islamic artworks distinguish themselves as historic masterpieces, by using stylistic and interpretive analysis methods.

    Islam, a religion of people submitting to one God, seeking peace and a way of life without sin, is always misunderstood throughout the world. What some consider act of bigotry, others believe it to be the lack of education and wrong portrayal of events in media; however, one cannot not justify the so little knowledge that America and Americans have about Islam and Muslims. Historically there are have been myths, many attacks on Islam and much confusion between Islam as a religion and Middle Easter culture that is always associated with it. This paper is meant to dispel, or rather educate about the big issues that plague people’s minds with false ideas and this will only be touching the surface.

  • Prophetic Authority in Early Islamic Civilization: A Comparative Examination

    1586 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout his life, the Prophet Muhammad proved to be exceptionally adept at uniting diverse groups, negotiating a series of alliances and loyalty arrangements that spanned religious, tribal, ethnic, and familial lines (Berggren 2009). Among other things, this ability enabled Muhammad to forge a shared identity and found a nascent Islamic state from a diverse and even heterogeneous community (Rahman 1982; Ernst 2003, pp. 87-93). This diversity proved to be both a source of strength and conflict for Islam, and following the death of Muhammad early Islamic communities engaged in extensive debates not only about the nature of his teachings or how to carry his legacy forward, but also about the terms that should be used to define his authority. Although this debate produced a colorful array of movements within the tapestry of early Islamic civilization, this essay offers a critical examination of two particularly distinct perspectives on the nature of prophetic authority: namely, those articulated

  • Memories Of Muhammad Critical Analysis

    1295 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are two declarations of faith in Islam: That there is only one God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. In Memories of Muhammad, Omid Safi explores the ways in which Muhammad – both the historical and spiritual Muhammad – is remembered, commemorated, and contested by Muslims throughout the centuries. Safi focuses on the movements and moments in Muhammad’s life and after his death that for many Muslims best exemplify the teachings of Islam. He succeeds in opening up the dialogue to correct the negative portrayals of Muhammad and the religion of Islam, calling it a “Muhammad problem” in his introduction. Furthermore, he provides a book that is accessible and intelligible to both Muslims and non-Muslims, drawing from historical and spiritual sources, and addresses relevant issues contested between Muslims in relation to other religions, presenting Muhammad as a historical figure and one who is beloved by the Umma.

    The Islamic tradition, as reflected in Naguib Mahfouz’s Zaabalawi, has over the course of history had an incredible impact on Arab culture. In Mahfouz’s time, Islamic practices combined with their political relevance proved a source of both great power and woe in Middle Eastern countries. As alluded to in Zaabalawi, Mahfouz asserts the fact that not all Muslims attain religious fulfillment through this common tradition, and other methods outside the scope of Islam may be necessary in true spiritual understanding.

  • Orientalism as termed by Edward Said

    1411 Words  | 3 Pages

    Orientalism as termed by Edward Said is meant to create awareness of a constellation of assumptions that are flawed and underlying Western attitudes towards the Muslim societies. Evidence from his 1978 book “Orientalism”, states that the culture has been of influence and marred with controversy in post colonial studies and other fields of study. Moreover, the scholarship is surrounded by somehow persistent and otherwise subtle prejudice of Eurocentric nature, which is against Islam religion and culture (Windschuttle, 1999). In his book, Said illustrates through arguments, that the long tradition in existence containing romanticized images of Islamic stronghold regions i.e. Middle East, and the Western culture have for a long time served as implicit justifications for the European and American Imperial ambitions. In light of this, Said denounced the practice of influential Arabs who contributed to the internalization of Arabic culture ideas by US and British orientalists. Thus, his hypothesis that Western scholarship on Muslim was historically flawed and essentially continues to misrepresent the reality of Muslim people. In lieu to this, Said quotes that, “So far as the United States seems to be concerned, it is only a slight overstatement to say that Muslims and Arabs are essentially seen as either oil suppliers or potential terrorists. Therefore, very few details such as human density, the passion of Arab-Muslim life has entered the awareness of even the people whose profession revolve around reporting of the Arab world. Due to this, we have instead a series of crude, essentialized caricatures of the Islamic world presented in such a way as to make that world vulnerable to military aggression” (Said, 1980).

    Beginning with the life of the Prophet Muhammad (d. 632) and continuing to the present day, Islamic art has both a wide historical range and broad geographical spread, including North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and part of South and Southeast Asia as well as eastern and sub-Saharan Africa. Through it’s beautiful use of colors, and its balance between art and form, Islamic art has had a remarkable and unique visual impact. Inside the century after the passing (ad 632) of the prophet Muhammad, worshipers spread his lessons through Egypt and North Africa, as far as west Spain, and to the extent east of Sassanid Persia. Because of their quick development and the famine of the earlier foundation of the Arabian Peninsula, the Muslims

This historiography will explore whether the Fatimids were actually the tolerant Muslims whose actions, belief systems and practices evidenced the growth of Islam and tolerance of other religions, or if they were merely politi...
