The Islamic religion spread rapidly through trade, military conquest, political structure, and the overall appeal of the religion. Many of the early Islamic ideas originated from the prophet Muhammad in Saudi Arabia around the 600s. His teachings began in Mecca, a city between the crossroads of numerous trade centers (Scott). Mecca’s location became ideal for the expansion of Islam, as it could be spread by people along the trade routes. In the “Map of Byzantine and Persian Empires and Trade Routes in 570 C.E.” (Document A), it demonstrates how Mecca was in the center of several trade routes.
The Islamic Empire expanded rapidly around the period 600 C.E. to 1300 C.E. The Islamic expansion occurred through military raids, Jihad, tolerance, stipends and taxes. After Muhammad's death, in 632 C.E., the rise Islam overtook Afro-Eurasia. Muslim warfare was set for defeat, but became matchless and unconquerable. The battle between the Muslims and Greeks, the Muslims were presented as having no match against Greeks military shown in Doc A. As it states, “In this battle 24,000 Muslims took part,” (Doc A).
During the Islamic Golden Age, science, economic development, and cultural works flourished in the Islamic world. As they spread to civilizations, such as Greece, Rome, and India, Muslims assimilated, advanced, and applied those cultures’ scholarships. They read books and built their knowledge to the point where they could make their own discoveries. They built a strong trading empire by using scientific instruments and the night sky to guide them, and they had access to plenty of resources and goods. These advancements affected numerous fields in their own society and, eventually, in European society.
Islam is a religion that was established by a man named Muhammed and means ‘submission.’ As sources say, an angel approached Muhammad while he was meditating in a cave; and told him about the word of Allah, the only God. After Islam was born, and the word of the angel was the beginning of the Qur’an. Islam was established as a monotheistic religion, as Muslims would only believe in one God, and was first preached by Muhammad. Islam grew, and eventually, the first Muslim community was developed in Medina, a city in Saudi Arabia.
Upon this realization, Equality denounces the leaders of his society, the Council, on moral terms. “I” believe that his decision to do so is correct as the people in Equality’s society are stripped of their right, and intellectuals are responsible for furthering their society. Equality’s actions parallels
Equality defies the council of scholars and his government by studying and learning about the world. “How dare you think that your mind held greater wisdom than the mind of your brothers” (Rand 71). Equality goes against
Though not always be noticed, quotes are used in everyday lives as a guide to making the right decision. “Faith is the sister of Justice” is a Latin proverb used in Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time”. This quote is an essential part of both who and what people are as individuals and societies. In this essay, the symbols of justice, different meanings of faith and justice to individuals and societies, and how the quote has a meaning of faith and justice working together will be stated. To begin with, the symbols of justice are together as a statue of a combination of Themis (the Greek Goddess of Justice and Law) and Justitia (the Roman goddess of Justice).
The story of cavemen trapped with the inability to find that supreme knowing no better demonstrates the cast that inhibits society. Eventually one is freed from this ignorance, and enlightens the rest who, Plato suggests, would be fearful of this atypical understanding until they themselves can make sense of it and can be contributors to society (52). Plato explains that the power of reasoning is innate and present within all of us but needs guidance and proper direction (52). By applying what we know from Plato to our current issue, we can understand that all of us possess this reasoning that can be directed towards righteousness. Therefore, it is possible and, undoubtedly, requires a great deal of effort in order to instate humane treatment of one another.
In the first essay of On the Genealogy of Morals (GM), Friedrich Nietzsche resumes his work on a theme he had already addressed in his previous book, Beyond Good and Evil, which is about concepts of ‘good’, ‘bad’ and ‘evil’. In this essay that he titled ‘Good and Evil’, ‘Good and Bad’, Nietzsche analyses the relations of strife between what he considers to be the three social classes that constitute a society, that is to say the masters, the priests and the slaves. It is clear that the masters are strong while the slaves are weak, however it is more complex to place the priests, that one could argue are ‘weak nobles’ while others see them as ‘strong slaves’. This essay argues that Nietzsche’s essay offers a very interesting explanation for
Islam is the second biggest religion and fastest growing in the world today. Islam is a religion that Muslims follow and is a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the prophet of Allah. For Muslims, Muhammad is the last prophet and Abraham is the patriarch of the Qur’an, Bible and Torah. Islam is followed by over a billion people and Muslims make up approximately one quarter of the world’s population. Islam spread quickly during the 600’s trade, choice, and conquest.
Survey research is a frequently applied method of gathering information about a population of interest, it is a useful strategy because it has the ability to reach a wide range of population (Mertens, 2015, p182). There are various types of survey, several ways to administer them, and numerous approaches of sampling. The backbone in constructing a valuable survey questionnaire is to keep in your mind the purpose and the objectives of the study. Based on this assumption, the purpose of this survey is to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the reluctance of non-western Muslim from engaging in therapeutic relationship. What could exemplify the antipathy for this kind of services, is it the umbrella of religion, culture, or tradition, or an
Throughout the Muslim Golden Age, which flourished from the 9th – 12th centuries, many brilliant Muslims made spectacular contributions that still greatly impact society today. Islamic achievements and contributions have helped other cultures adopt new ideas and make great advancements in an immense variety of fields. These fields include medicine, architecture, banking, art, literature, astronomy, and several others. These achievements have assisted in making daily life for the Muslims and even us today a great deal easier. Of all of these achievements, those involving the establishment of a banking system, the development of hospitals, and the development of herbal medicines and pharmacies are among the three that I feel are the most important and influential contributions to the world today.
Canadians live in a society that is plagued with injustice, a society that always puts yourself before the other people. Our courts, which claim to hold to justice, do the opposite, promoting evil and punishing good. But this raise the question, what is justice? And what is the benefit of being just? It is these two questions that Plato tries to answer in his book, “The Republic”.
Plato had a great expectation of humans to purely seek the good and righteous. However, human nature has flaws that create cracks in Plato’s ideal
A. PREAMBLE The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 has sparked intense curiosity and interest in the world especially the West to learn and investigate the religion of Islam. The Muslim people are portrayed as violent and barbaric, and Islam as oppressive and antithesis to human rights values. Thus, escalation of public opinion about Islam has encouraged debates and forums, and also stirred demonstrations and movements which have compelled the Muslims to speak out their minds and interpret and recast their texts viz. Quran and Sunnah of prophet Mohammad and even question and challenge the prevailing culture and practices, and domineering structures.
