Download or read book Religions in Dialogue written by Alan Race and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as Abrahamic religions, share much theological common ground and the momentum for dialogue between them at theological levels has greatly increased in recent decades. This book explores the relationship between religion and the modern democratic state from the perspective of these three monotheistic traditions. It investigates how the three religions in dialogue might overcome their historic antagonism as a prelude to working for the development of the global common good. As part of the test of religious ideals, some of the contributions bring theory down to earth by examining the role of religion in three democratic states with different histories - Turkey, Indonesia, India - and also in relation to a culture of human rights. Drawing together leading Muslim, Christian, and Jewish authors from America, Europe and Asia, the book presents a rare collaboration of faiths and ideas to make a contribution to studies of inter-religious dialogue and the changing role of religion in the democratic state.
Download or read book A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON ASCETICISM IN BUDDHISM AND ISLAM written by SAVAŞ KARABULUT and published by SAVAŞ KARABULUT. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of this book is to understand ascetic practices in Islam and Buddhism by examining the religious motives and beliefs that lead to them. It also attempts to demonstrate how important realizing the diversity in the purposes of ascetic practices is, especially in regards to understanding belief systems and in making reliable and objective comparative studies in the field of religious studies. Religious beliefs in different traditions display a considerable complexity in their social, historical, and canonical backgrounds. This is what makes one religion different from another. This complexity presents a particular problem in comparative studies because of the lack of a mutual conceptual base which would enable us to make reliable comparative studies between theistic and non-theistic religions. However, we have tried to solve this problem by examining each belief system in terms of its own concepts and in its respective tradition. I believe that studying an idea or religion in terms of its own framework of references is an indispensable method. There may be some similarities in methodology but at the same time some differences in relation to their different points of view regarding value systems. The practices that constitute Islamic asceticism and the meanings of these actions in Islam differ radically from those of Buddhism. Islam does not consider certain natural human feelings such as sensual desires, jealousy, anger and so on to be unconditionally negative, since according to Islam all these feelings and emotions serve a purpose. Being good or bad depends on how those feelings and desires are employed. Therefore, while Islam allows Muslims to satisfy these feelings within divine limits, Buddhism does not allow for their complete satisfaction. In both ascetic traditions the cultivation of free will is one of the most important elements of self-discipline. A characteristic difference between Islam and Buddhism is that while Buddhism places great stress upon the mind, Islam does not. Being moderate in actions and ascetic practices is a very important principle in both traditions. In this respect, Buddhism is similar to Islam in terms of eating practices. The most important ascetic practice and one of the most important principles of self-restraint in Islamic life, and also a main pillar of Islam, is fasting. However, it must be borne in mind that complete fasting as in Islam seems to be an excessive form of self-restraint in the eyes of Buddhists. In Buddhism, there are a few practical differences between lay people and monks; in Islam, however, everybody must fast in the same way whether he is a prophet or saint or an ordinary Muslim. In addition to this, unlike Buddhism, Islam approves of neither monasticism, nor a caste system. One of the most similar practices in both traditions is not consuming intoxicants. Islam and Buddhism have very similar attitudes to intoxicants and all kinds of alcoholic drinks. In addition to this Islam differs from Buddhism in its point of view on celibacy. Celibacy is practically forbidden in Islam if somebody has no reasonable excuse for it. In particular, according to the early Buddhist texts, celibacy is the highest conduct of life. There is a marked difference here with Islam. However, both Buddhism and Islam make a similar point of protecting their followers from fornication by recommending or commanding them to shut the doors of sense organs and to avoid sexual misconduct. There may be some similarities between religious traditions whether they are theistic or non-theistic. These similarities cannot be a means of objectively evaluating their religious understandings or religious purposes. The best and most reliable way to understand ascetic practices is to study these practices separately, according to the historical and geographical facts of each religion, paying particular attention to their essential teachings and beliefs.
Download or read book How He treated them written by محمد صالح المنجد and published by العبيكان للنشر. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam is a religion that, today, has over one and a half billion followers across the globe. The man who brought the message of this religion must, necessarily, be one of the most influential figures in world history. But Prophet Muhammad's astonishing impact wasn't just on account of his being a leader in any conventional sense. The Prophet preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral and legal code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings, and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior. Within the 23 years, of his prophethood, Prophet Muhammad transformed the entire Arabian Peninsula from paganism and idolatry to the worship of One God; from tribal quarrels and wars to solidarity and cohesion; from drunkenness and wickedness to sobriety and piety; from lawlessness and anarchy law and order; and from utter moral bankruptcy to the highest standards of morality and virtue. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of people or a place before or since — and all this in just over two decades. While most famous personalities come across as uni-dimensional figures who distinguished themselves in one or two fields, Prophet Muhammad made spectacular accomplishments in every field and discipline of human thought and behavior. Why read about the life of the Prophet? Non-Muslims seeking to learn about Prophet Muhammad's life have struggled with publications that are largely inauthentic or that draw upon unreliable resources. Biographical accounts by Westerner writers are inevitable — and even notoriously — biased or tainted with prejudices and Orientalist fallacies. This book, however, provides an excellent introduction to some of the major aspects of Prophet Muhammad's life and events and, hence, provides a Muslim (and hence an in-proper-context) perspective to readers. It explains the prominent roles that Prophet Muhammad's personality has played in Islamic practice and thought, and the crucial roles it continues to play in Muslim life and civilization. No matter which religious denomination one ascribes to or which ideological and political beliefs one espousest one can only stand to benefit from learning about Prophet Muhammad's life, a man who moved even an iconoclast like G. B, Shawto comment: "He must be called the savior of humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much-needed peace and happiness". (The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936). Further, by studying the life of Prophet Muhammad, one can separate fact from fiction and gain a deeper understanding of the man and his message. In a time when we are bombarded with false propaganda and media lies, it is up to open-minded individuals with a desire for the truth to do what they can to fulfil that desire. This book may be regarded as a significant first step towards achieving this noble of objectives.
