Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judaism, Christianity and Islam: An Introduction to Monotheism shows how a shared monotheistic legacy frames and helps explain the commonalities and disagreements among Judaism, Christianity and Islam and their significant denominations in the world today. Taking a thematic approach and covering both historical and contemporary dimensions, the authors discuss how contemporary geographic and cultural contexts shape the expression of monotheism in the three religions. It covers differences between religious expressions in Israeli Judaism, Latin American Christianity and British Islam. Topics discussed include scripture, creation, covenant and identity, ritual, ethics, peoplehood and community, redemption, salvation, life after death, gender, sexuality and marriage. This introductory text, which contains 30 images, a map, a timeline, chapter afterthoughts and critical questions, is written by three authors with extensive teaching experience, each a specialist in one of the three monotheistic traditions.

Download or read book The Purest Monotheism written by Eeshat Ansari and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wisdom, Justice, and Unconditional Love ¿These days, Muslims are facing all kinds of problems: persecution by different governments, violence among Muslim sects, women's suppression, mass migration, and more. Many Muslims have contradictory behavior: they reject modern industrialization and education but depend on modern conveniences. Even the purity of Islamic monotheism itself is at stake. Guided by the wisdom of the Quran, this book defines many contemporary problems faced by Muslims and provides solutions. For example, the Quran strongly condemns zulm (oppression) and uses the word zulm a whopping 291 times to discourage it. So, on what grounds, can any Muslim support various oppressions, like preventing women from acquiring education and employment? This book also discusses:¿How to peacefully end radical Islamic violence.¿How Muslim men and women can ideologically respond to oppression by fellow Muslims.¿How to bring peace between Muslims sects.¿Without calling anyone kafir, how to peacefully preserve the purity of Islamic monotheism.Sufi literature, accumulated over centuries, proves that loving Allah is the most satisfying spiritual experience. The book describes how to unconditionally love Allah and how to unconditionally love yourself. Islam puts overwhelming emphasis on love and justice. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) achieved the first major peaceful transfer of power in history. This was when he took over as the head of state of Medina, even though it was a multi-religious society. On another occasion, instead of waging violent jihad, he proposed the Treaty of Hudaybia and made peace with the opponents. The unique concept of Islamic monotheism also solves philosophical puzzles like the free will-predestination paradox and the watchmaker analogy.
Download or read book Monotheism and Its Complexities written by Lucinda Mosher and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom would have it that believing in one God is straightforward; that Muslims are expert at monotheism, but that Christians complicate it, weaken it, or perhaps even abandon it altogether by speaking of the Trinity. In this book, Muslim and Christian scholars challenge that opinion. Examining together scripture texts and theological reflections from both traditions, they show that the oneness of God is taken as axiomatic in both, and also that affirming God's unity has raised complex theological questions for both. The two faiths are not identical, but what divides them is not the number of gods they believe in. The latest volume of proceedings of The Building Bridges Seminar—a gathering of scholar-practitioners of Islam and Christianity that meets annually for the purpose of deep study of scripture and other texts carefully selected for their pertinence to the year’s chosen theme—this book begins with a retrospective on the seminar’s first fifteen years and concludes with an account of deliberations and discussions among participants, thereby providing insight into the model of vigorous and respectful dialogue that characterizes this initiative. Contributors include Richard Bauckham, Sidney Griffith, Christoph Schwöbel, Janet Soskice, Asma Afsaruddin, Maria Dakake, Martin Nguyen, and Sajjad Rizvi. To encourage further dialogical study, the volume includes those scripture passages and other texts on which their essays comment. A unique resource for scholars, students, and professors of Christianity and Islam.

Download or read book Islamic Monotheism written by Dr. Atowar Rahman and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monotheism preached by Islam is called ‘Tauheed’, which says that ‘there is no God but Allah’ and He is the Creator and Sustainer of the worlds. The Islamic way of life has been framed on the basis of one principle i.e. ‘there is no God but Allah’ so that this monotheism is reflected in worship, thought, conduct, activities etc. of its followers and Al-Qur’an is the Holy Book where this way of life has been described. The Islamic monotheism is uncompromising and absolute and forbids attributing even the slightest divinity on any object, nor does it allow unification of the Creator and creation under any circumstances. This book compiled by Dr. A. Rahman entitled Islamic Monotheism (Tauheed) is pleasantly readable because he has elucidated many difficult concepts of Tauheed contained in the Holy Qur’an. The book is divided into seven chapters. While the first two chapters are introductory, the author goes deeperinto the faith of monotheism in the third and fourth chapters and seeks to assert monotheism by discussing ‘Shirk’ i.e. commission of the utmost blasphemy of associating creation with the Creator. In the fourth chapter he has effectively dealt with even such common human weaknesses as belief in astrology, talisman, spells of charm, etc. The fifth chapter deals with Mysticism and Sufism in the context of monotheism. Thisnis an area that has been probed widely and in depth by the b scholars both in the oriental and western worlds because of the mystic ideas it holds out. The sixth and seventh chapters have elaborated some more topics on Islamic Monotheism. Dr. Rahman has collected views and theories from different sources and presented them systematically to make them easy to understand. Besides, he has drawn conclusions on them from the Islamic point of view. The author’s effort is an onerous one. He has deliberated upon the topics with such scholarship, that those who want to know the essence of Islamic monotheism will surely benefit.
Download or read book Necessary Existence and Monotheism written by Mohammad Saleh Zarepour and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avicenna believes that God must be understood in the first place as the Necessary Existent (wâǧib al-wuǧûd). In his various works, he provides different versions of an ingenious argument for the existence of the Necessary Existent—the so-called Proof of the Sincere (burhân al-ṣiddîqîn)—and argues that all the properties that are usually attributed to God can be extracted merely from God's having necessary existence. Considering the centrality of tawḥîd to Islam, the first thing Avicenna tries to extract from God's necessary existence is God's oneness. The aim of the present Element is to provide a detailed discussion of Avicenna's arguments for the existence and unity of God. Through this project, the author hopes to clarify how, for Avicenna, the Islamic concept of monotheism is intertwined with the concept of essential existence.

Book excerpt: In The Most Amazing Miracle of the Quran: Islamic Monotheism, Eeshat Ansari makes a powerful claim. Islamic Monotheism (tawhid) is unique and so pure it can only come from the true God. It is beyond human capability to imagine such far-reaching and subtle monotheistic ideas. Here is the evidence: -Allah is not similar to anything or any other being, and is beyond human imagination. Mosques have no statues, images or pictures of Allah. -In the Quran, Allah never becomes human and no human, no matter how pious, ever becomes God. -Allah has always existed. The God of Islam was not born like a human and will never die. -Every single prayer in the Quran directly calls on Allah; no prayer in the Quran calls on prophets, angels or saints. -Polytheism (shirk) is defined as worshipping deities other than Allah, or along with Allah. But in some cases, the Quran warns that shirk can also exist even in the absence of other deities. In addition, some desires can also be shirk. This book discusses shirk including such subtle cases. You will not find many contemporary books covering these issues. -According to the Quran, shirk is the only sin Allah will never forgive. In Islam, monotheism holds the highest priority. The Most Amazing Miracle of the Quran: Islamic Monotheism is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand the heart of Islam.

Download or read book The Monotheists Jews Christians and Muslims in Conflict and Competition Volume II written by F. E. Peters and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-11 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's three great monotheistic religions have spent most of their historical careers in conflict or competition with each other. And yet in fact they sprung from the same spiritual roots and have been nurtured in the same historical soil. This book--an extraordinarily comprehensive and approachable comparative introduction to these religions--seeks not so much to demonstrate the truth of this thesis as to illustrate it. Frank Peters, one of the world's foremost experts on the monotheistic faiths, takes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and after briefly tracing the roots of each, places them side by side to show both their similarities and their differences. Volume I, The Peoples of God, tells the story of the foundation and formation of the three monotheistic communities, of their visible, historical presence. Volume II, The Words and Will of God, is devoted to their inner life, the spirit that animates and regulates them. Peters takes us to where these religions live: their scriptures, laws, institutions, and intentions; how each seeks to worship God and achieve salvation; and how they deal with their own (orthodox and heterodox) and with others (the goyim, the pagans, the infidels). Throughout, he measures--but never judges--one religion against the other. The prose is supple, the method rigorous. This is a remarkably cohesive, informative, and accessible narrative reflecting a lifetime of study by a single recognized authority in all three fields. The Monotheists is a magisterial comparison, for students and general readers as well as scholars, of the parties to one of the most troubling issues of today--the fierce, sometimes productive and often destructive, competition among the world's monotheists, the siblings called Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
