Al Zakah in Islam


Being concerned in every aspect of ones life. Islam also organized the relation between the rich and the poor to live in a fair and tolerant society. The mighty Allah imposes what is called Zakah, charity,  that makes wealthy people provide a share of their wealth for poor people. Zakah has always been  a reasonable amount of maney that is paid annually. The importance of Zakah could be touched in having a society into which the poor loves the rich because he assists hism with some noney and he/ she wishes him all goodness. Zakah also redusces the number of thieft and violence crime might take place because of poverty.  
In Islam, It is believed that the mighty Allah reward who pay Zakah with adding more to their wealth and they will be dwellers of the heaven. This reveals the essence of Islam that happiness and pleasure among people are more valuable than materialistic matters.

 

Women in Islam.






It is really striking that Muslims are accused of maltreating women. Here is  divine ividence that bow all these false allegations "And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women." [Noble Quran 2:228] (htt1).  in Islam, has been given rights better than they enjoy in the socalled advanced countries. Fro Muslims, a  women in a pure pearl that must hide her beauty to keep glittering  whereas women are used as models for gaining money.
There are a lot of rights that Islamic women enjoy that others don’t. For instance, a husband is he the one who responsible to look after his wife and pay for all her needs, but in some cultures a husband and a wife mostly independent financially. Because of the high concern of women in Islam, the family ties between children and their parents stronger and deeper. On the other hand,  aome other cultures no nothing about the family ties as children and parents live apart and start a new life.

Fasting in Islam





In every year, Muslims fast from eating food and drinking from daw till dusk. Fasting has been considered as one of prime pillars of Islam that really deserve pondering. Fasting is seen in Islam as a way of learning patience. Patience is not the only lesson of fasting, thinking and assisting poor people is also essential part of it. Fasting, a person feels hunger and thirst, so he will remember his/ her own poor people. Zakat Alfitr which is money paid to the poor at the end of Ramadan to enable them buy their needs for eid.
Fasting is also a chance for families to get together. People get used to invite each other for having meals at the break of their fasting. Thus strengthen the family ties and helps improve love and respect. At the end of the month, people celebrate Eid Alfitr which comes as a divine gift for perfecting their duty of fasting to the mighty Allah.

The Real Muslim


As I stated in the previous blog that Islam is the religion of tolerance and peace, so who are Muslims. Actually, the Islamic personality based on mutual cooperation and respect to others spread out fairness. Islam has been calling to the standards of behaviors and the highest ethics.
Since he is the role model of all Muslims, the prophet peace and blessing be upon him said "I was sent to complete the best of morals." He did not order us to kill innocent people for their color , religion, or sex. Unfortunately, non Muslims are misguided by some foolish actions of violence that take place around the world with huge media buzz sticking it to Islam. It is worth reminding people that killing children in Palestine by Israeli soldiers, not Muslims, have been taking place in every giving day. In Iraq, more than 600,000 (htt) have been murdered because of the American war against saddam Hussein and his regime. 
Do not you think that we have to rethink of the real killers.

Islam is the Religion of Tolerance


         As media continues to send implicit or explicit messages that Islam is a religion of terror and hatred, I would like to start this blog here to introduce and defend the truly pure and deeply peaceful reality of Islam.
        Basically, Islam is the religion of tolerance. Teachings of Islam that have been taken primarily at Holy Quran and Suannah (The prophet Mohammed deeds and speech) encourage muslims to call for Islam peacefully. For tangible evidence, in the holy verses of Quran interpretation Forgive and show indulgence to them! (Qur'an, 2:109); it is clear that the soul of Islam asks us as Muslims to be friendly to others, but unfortunately misleading media especially in North America and Europe keep distorting facts about Islam.

        The answer of the urgent question of “why media attacks Islam then?” the direct answer is politics and economics. Being united as Muslims will cause many damages to the western economics as there will be no need for American and Western investments. Not only that, unrest in the Middle East and Islamic world is useful to many western countries that keep selling weapons to these countries and militants.
        I would like to conclude by emphasizing  that it s unfair to judge Islam without reading or learning about it.
