Download or read book The Qur an Moral Attributes of Believers and Non Believers written by Zain Elabideen and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Rahim - In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The MercifulPurpose of this Book: Provide the reader a resource containing ONLY verses from the Qur'an which focus on the positive and negative moral attributes of mankind. Thus enabling the reader to actively practice and/or engage in positive attributes and actively remove and/or avoid the negative attributes. The optimal result being a progressive and morally conscious human being.This book is a easy to read 'cheat sheet' outlining humanities good and bad moral attributes.Observation: Without a human being learning what moral values are, they will have no opportunity to practice those teachings. If they never learn the definition of good or bad moral behaviour, they will simply emulate each others behaviour, classify it as normal and consider what they do as right. This is a contaminated mindset and a mob mentality will be espoused and thus blindly accepted as a form of tolerant morality. If humanity is not educated on morals, or, what right and wrong actually is - they will learn to have a tolerance to everything. However a tolerance to everything equates to an ignorance of good morals by definition. Humanity cannot live morally being neutral to everything. Full neutrality breeds moral decay.If we educate ourselves by critically defining good and bad moral attributes, we can thus distinguish and identify what good and bad moral attributes are.When we identify these attributes we can attain a moral compass, or, a deduced guidance towards improving our own humanity, and a model for a successful society.After reading this book and identifying, defining and choosing to implement these attributes, we can ourselves analyze whether using this newly gathered moral compass has positive or negative impacts within our own environments and humanity in general.If all of humanity collectively followed the positive attributes contained within this book alone, reasonably, our collective environment would be positively affected and progressive. If humanity fails to adhere to any moral principals or displays a preferred tendency toward the negative attributes listed, we should expect our collective environment to be negative and regressive.As human beings we all observe the world around us. Some of us critically observe and others blankly observe. If you, the reader consider yourself "observant" you will recognize these attributes within yourself and within the environments you frequent in daily life.A simple universal example of attributes that few human beings would dispute is recognizing lying as a negative attribute and telling the truth as a positive attribute.No one can deny, if we want to be good people, we must know what attributes a good person actually exhibits. Once we know the attributes, we can implement them in our lives. With this is mind, if we would like to avoid exhibiting attributes of bad people, we must know what attributes a bad person actually exhibits.Logically, if a person actively exhibits good attributes, but has no knowledge of bad attributes, they would be at risk of engaging with or acquiring the bad attributes and thus lowering the overall good potential they exhibit. However, if that same person had knowledge of bad attributes they could easily recognize and guard against those circumstances.We can agree having knowledge of both the good and the bad is most beneficial to remain on the side of good. This is the best position a person can be in. Whereas, a person who knows neither the good nor the bad is most lacking in knowledge and has no basis for any interpretation of defining to them-self what good or bad is at all. This is the worst position a person can be in.The purpose of this book is to give both sets of attributes to the reader. Each human being who aims to progressively reform his morality, becomes an emissary of a morally united collective society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects.

Download or read book Ethico Religious Concepts in the Qur an written by Toshihiko Izutsu and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Ethico-Religious Concepts in the Qur'án Toshihiko Izutsu analyses the guiding spirit of the Islamic moral code, the basic ethical relationship of man to God. Izutsu asserts that, according to the Qur'anic conception, God is of an ethical nature and acts upon man in an ethical way. The resulting implications for man are enormous, requiring devotion not merely to God but to living one's life ethically.Izutsu shows that for the Qur'an our ethical response to God's actions is religion itself; it is at the same time both ethics and religion. Izutsu explores these themes by employing ethnolinguistics, a theory of the interrelations between linguistic cultural patterns, to analyse the semantic structure of major concepts in the Quar'an. Islam, which arose in the seventh century, represents one of the most sweeping religious reforms ever to appear in the East.The Quar'an shows in vividly concrete terms how time-honoured tribal norms came into bloody conflict with new ideals of life, and finally yielded to the rising power. This transitional epoch is of particular importance in the whole of Islamic thought, a time during which the key terms of a traditionally fixed system of values were transformed in their connotative structure, modified in their combinations, and finally integrated into an entirely different system.Originally published in 1959 as The Structure of the Ethical Terms in the Koran and revised under the current title in 1966 this 2002 reprint makes this classic work of Islamic studies once again available.
Download or read book A CONCISE QUR AN READER written by Hassan M. Eltaher and published by Hassan M. Eltaher. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why this study? The purpose of this brief study or “reader” is first to underline the essential tenets of Islamic beliefs as defined in the Qur’an followed by Islam’s approach to the ever- present role of God in the daily life of Muslims, which also affects the lives of non-Muslims. The study also sheds light on the essential contents of the Qur’an The study highlights in particular Islamic teachings encompassing in particular aspects of morality addressed to individuals, societies and nations, about how to carry themselves and how to control their desires and appetites, as well as how to interact with the diverse sea of humanity around them. The study is of particular interest to readers who are looking for specific Islamic teachings that may be similar to or different from Judeo-Christian teachings, or which these latter two faiths did not broach. It should also lead to better understanding of the three monotheistic religions in term of what’s fact, what’s faith and what’s myth. All three of them carry solid positive messages that are helpful to humans in this life.
Download or read book The Qur an in Christian Muslim Dialogue written by Corrie Block and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering an analysis of Christian-Muslim dialogue across four centuries, this book highlights those voices of ecumenical tone which have more often used the Qur’an for drawing the two faiths together rather than pushing them apart, and amplifies the voice of the Qur’an itself. Finding that there is tremendous ecumenical ground between Christianity and Islam in the voices of their own scholars, this book ranges from a period of declining ecumenism during the first three centuries of Islam, to a period of resurging ecumenism during the most recent century until now. Among the ecumenical voices in the Christian-Muslim dialogue, this book points out that the Qur’an itself is possibly the strongest of those voices. These findings are cause for, and evidence of, hope for the Christian–Muslim relationship: that although agreement may never be reached, dialogue has led at times to very real mutual understanding and appreciation of the religious other. Providing a tool for those pursuing understanding and mutual appreciation between the Islamic and Christian faiths, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of Islam, the Qur’an and the history of Christian-Muslim relations.
Download or read book Qur an Moral Compass of the Believer written by Ali Mohamed Salah and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MODERN YOUTH INCREASINGLY move away from Islamic morals, ethics, and cultural values. As a result, their belief in Allah and the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ has weakened, leading to doubts and misconceptions about Islam. The rise of atheism among the youth and the proliferation of distorted beliefs and ideologies further compound the situation. Additionally, there has been a noticeable decline in moral values across various facets of life. Parent-child relationships have become strained, resulting in high divorce rates and a lack of understanding regarding marital morals and rights. Maintaining strong kinship ties is often overlooked, as the younger generation prioritizes personal aspirations over social issues and family matters. The neglect and mistreatment of older individuals and the growing disregard for young children due to the fast-paced nature of modern life are disconcerting trends. The erosion of moral values can be attributed, in part, to the influence of Western ideals and misleading media portrayals. Traditional values and virtues gradually dissipate, giving rise to a more self-centered mindset. In response to these challenges and deplorable circumstances and stances, the book "Qurʾān: Moral Compass of the Believer" has been authored. Unlike previous works on morality, this book specifically caters to the West's second and third Muslim generations, aiming to compensate for the lack of an Islamic-cultural environment during their upbringing. By immersing readers in a Quranic atmosphere, the book addresses the pressing issues and offers solutions grounded in the Qurʾān and Sunnah.

Book excerpt: The Meaning of the Holy Quran,The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible? 2IN1 AUTHOR Abdullah Yusuf Ali , BY_AUTHOR Yusuf Ali , BY_AUTHOR Dr. Zakir Naik , BY_AUTHOR Mr.Faisal Fahim This English translation of the Qur'an is a compilation of the Muslim faith's Final Revelation from God to mankind through the last Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him. The Qur'an has a wealth of information--both worldly wisdom and intellectual concepts--providing a code of life for humankind generally and Muslims in particular. Indeed, the Qur'an's miracle lies in its ability to offer something to non-believers and everything to believers. A RESEARCH PROJECT & A DOCUMENTARY BOOK ON SCIENCE & WORLD RELIGIONS&COMPARATIVE INTERFAITH DISCUSSIONS(The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible?)Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet,Man has always sought to understand Nature,his own place in the scheme of Creation and the purpose of Life itself. In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely inspired, others have relied solely on human experience. Al-Qur'an, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it contains Divine guidance for all humankind. Since the message of the Qur'an is believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every age. Does the Qur'an pass this test? In this booklet, I intend to give an objective analysis of the Muslim belief regarding the Divine origin of the Qur'an, in the light of established scientific discoveries. There was a time, in the history of world civilization, when 'miracles', or what was perceived to be a miracle, took precedence over human reason and logic. But how do we define the term 'miracle'? A miracle is anything that takes place out of the normal course of life and for which humankind has no explanation. However, we must be careful before we accept something as a miracle. An article in `The Times of India', Mumbai, in 1993 reported that 'a saint' by the name 'Baba Pilot' claimed to have stayed continuously submerged under water in a tank for three consecutive days and nights. However, when reporters wanted to examine the base of the tank of water where he claimed to have performed this 'miraculous' feat, he refused to let them do so. He argued by asking as to how one could examine the womb of a mother that gives birth to a child. The `Baba' was hiding something. It as a gimmick simply to gain publicity. THIS BOOK HAS MUCH MORE ADDED INFORMATION ON THE NEW DISCOVERIES OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION FOUND IN THE HOLY QURAN & THIS INFORMATION IS ARRANGED AND ORGANIZED BY AUTHOR MR.FAISAL FAHIM. THE LATEST INFORMATIONS ARE ALL ADDED IN 2014 REVEIWED BY FAISAL.
