Hello, thank you for visiting 30 Facts About Islam. How may I help you?

Bothaina

Who are you please?

Emmeline Nicholson

This is a website that shares the message of Islam with our non-Muslim guests…

Bothaina

I want to learn more about Islam, because I decided that tomorrow i will wear a Hijab. This is being encouraged in New Zealand, to show support for the Muslim community after the terrorist attack s in Christchurch last Friday.

Emmeline Nicholson

Before wearing the Hijab tomorrow, I wanted to understand what it really means, why Muslim women wear it.

Emmeline Nicholson

thank you sister for your support and kindness in NZ:)
I am happy to hear that 🙂
let me tell you about the Islamic basics ,please 🙂

Bothaina

Islam is not a new religion, rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad, as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message.

Bothaina

please, send me ,when you finish reading 🙂
any questions Emmeline?

Bothaina

So Islam worships the same God as the Christian God, but has a different prophet: Muhammad?

Emmeline Nicholson

The word Islam, which means submission, was not at first the name of a religion founded by Muhammad. It referred, rather, to the original religion of all mankind – and even of the universe itself.

Bothaina

Earlier prophets and their followers were all Muslims (submitters to Allah), though Muslims do tend to conflate the general and specific meanings of the words Islam and Muslim.
God is One for all humankind
Message is one to all humankind

Bothaina

It is worth mentioning before we move forward that the Arabic word for God is “Allah”, which means “the One and only deity worthy of worship.” This is His Greatest Name; it has no gender and no plurals. It is unique, just like His being.

Bothaina

It is also the same word used to refer to God by Arab Jews and Christians; it predates the word God and better describes the Uniqueness of The One Deity. Allah is usually thought to mean “the god” (al-ilah) in Arabic and is probably cognate with rather than derived from the Aramaic Alaha.

Bothaina

All Muslims and most Christians acknowledge that they believe in the same god even though their understandings differ.
Therefore, Islam has always been the only religion of Allah since the time of Adam, the first man and was the religion of all prophets who came after him.

Bothaina

In the time of Moses, Islam was to worship Allah alone and believe and follow the teachings Moses had brought.
Islam in the time of Jesus was to worship Allah alone and believe and follow the teachings Jesus had brought, as they were both prophets sent by God to teach his religion.
After the coming of Prophet Muhammad, Islam is to worship Allah alone and believe and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

Bothaina

Although the teachings of all the prophets about God, the Afterlife, and all other realities of belief were the same, there were slight differences in the methods of practice, worship and service, for each prophet was sent to a specific nation and specific period of time.

Bothaina

Are you following Emmeline?

Bothaina

Not quite. I thought that the followers of the prophets Abraham, Moses, etc were the Jewish/Hebrew people, and Jesus was a Jewish prophet.

Emmeline Nicholson

yes, they were, but they called to Islam, they surrendered to God alone and worshiped nothing beside Him
Islam to surrender voluntarily to the worship of the One deity worthy for worship
and that what they do
it is proven ,even in the scriptures ,see this :

Bothaina

This concept of Oneness of God was stressed by #Moses in the Biblical passage Known as the “Shema,” or the Jewish creed of faith: “Hear, O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

Bothaina

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by #Jesus when he said “…The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29)

Bothaina

#Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: “And your God is One God: there is no God but He (Allah)” (Qur’an 2:163)

Bothaina

and that’s why you find Muslims praying like Jesus did, we fasted as Jesus did
Muslim women, wear veil , just like Mary did 🙂
she is a role model to us

Bothaina

therefore, we follow Jesus the right way he did
not the way, others fabricated
make sense Emmeline ?

Bothaina

Sort of. The bible tells women to cover their heads in the temple. I’m not sure why.

Emmeline Nicholson

No Christians follow this instruction any more, as far as I know. Why do Muslim woman cover their hair with a Hijab in public?

Emmeline Nicholson

actually Muslims follow Jesus the right way ,unlike Christians who unfortunately followed Paul

Bothaina

I know! Much of the Gospel of John, was probably not true words of Jesus at all, but what his followers, especially Paul, believed after Jesus was crucified.

Emmeline Nicholson

The other three Gospels, Mathew, Mark and Luke, are quite different from John, and more true to what Jesus actually taught. That is what I have read, and it makes sense to me.

Emmeline Nicholson

none of the four Gospels witnessed Jesus, the Bible’s not Jesus’s words, God sent Injeel to Jesus which was lost after Jesus ‘s death, that’s why the church called Paul to write his own
see that prove :

Bothaina

1. Jesus teaches Monotheism; the Oneness of Allah. (Mark:12:29). But Christians are believing and teaching Trinity in obeying Paul but disobeying Jesus.

Bothaina

2. Jesus believed he was a Messenger of Allah. (John, 17:3, John,7:28, John, 8:42). But today’s Paulinists believe Jesus is God. Jesus say something but Paulinists believe otherwise.

Bothaina

3. Jesus surrendered his will to Allah. (Mark, 3:31-35, Matthew:7:21). But today’s Paulinists don’t believe in Allah but they believe their ‘national god ‘.

Bothaina

4. Jesus was circumcised. (Luke, 2:21). But today’s Paulinists don’t do circumcision. They oppose Jesus and follow Paul.

Bothaina

all of this proves that Jesus called to Islam as the rest of the prophets,and that Mosses, Jesus and Muhammad followed God and His literal words.

Bothaina

5. Jesus never ate pork. He despised pork. (Leviticus,11: 7). But opposing Jesus today’s Paulinists eat pork.

Bothaina

6. Jesus denied Trinity same as Muslims do. (John:17:3). But Paulinists believe in Trinity.

7. Jesus had a beard and dressed modestly like Muslims. But Paulinists despise beard and like Nudism.

Bothaina

need more proofs sister?
does that make sense to you ?
even in the bible, there is no where, Jesus claimed that he is god or son of God

Bothaina

That’s what I think, that Jesus was a holy man, a prophet, a spirit person, but not God himself.

Emmeline Nicholson

absolutely!, that is what we Muslims believe in
concerning Hijab

Bothaina

Let me first define the word Hijab. It means to cover, not only the covering of women hair, but also covering the behavior, conducts gaze and intentions of both men and women.

Bothaina

Please tell me more about the Hijab

Emmeline Nicholson

That’s mean that hijab in Islam, includes clothing as well as morals, behavior, conduct and even intentions. (for both men and women).
Why is clothing meant for women particularly?

Bothaina

God the Al Knowing, knows the nature of both men and women, that wasn’t changed from the beginning of the world till the end of it.

Bothaina

When women show their adornments and beauty, men around will be attracted, and the desires of those with loose morals may be aroused, others natures may be misguided, we are all human beings that sin.

Bothaina

The Hijab is prescribed for women to be recognized as modest women and this will prevent them from being molested. make sense ?

Bothaina

Yes. I live in a small rural community (about 2,000 people). We have only five Muslim families here. I hope many women here will wear the Hijab tomorrow, but I am afraid not many will and they will think I am being really weird

Emmeline Nicholson

. I think in more urban parts of New Zealand many will, because our Prime Minister has set an example, wearing it to show respect and solidarity with our Muslim sisters who are hurting right now.

Emmeline Nicholson

I have to go now, but will return to this sight tonight to read more about Islam. Thank you very mush for your time and sharing Bothaina.

Emmeline Nicholson

she was a Gorgeous! woman it seems to me ,you are already a Muslim:)), no compulsion on religion sister, at last everyone will be held accountable for his own choices and beliefs , others will not help that day

Bothaina
