Does Islam have a social class?
If we go back to Islam, the concept of social classes doesn’t exist at all. The only criteria upon which a person is to be judged is “taqwa”, which means piety, righteousness, etc.
How were the principles of Islam reflected in the social structure of the Islamic world?
The principles of islam reflected on the social structure of the arabian empire by islamic laws which had freed all slaves after war. Muhammad’s successors helped expand the arabian empire by being appointed ruler, known as Abu bakr, he expanded the territory by defeating the byzantine empire.
These are, for instance, communalism, casteism, regionalism, poverty, gender discrimination, population, environmental imbalance (different kinds of pollution, health hazards, etc.). Second, problems of deviance having to do with the adjustment of people to conventional ways of living.
How did Islam solve fundamental problems in Arabic society?
Identify how Islam addressed the fundamental problems in Arabian society. Islam gave them a form of monotheism that belonged to no single tribe and transcended clan and class distinctions. So it stopped the feuding between the tribes and undermined their attempts to overthrow the neighboring empires.
What are the challenges of Islam today?
Islam today is facing challenges from within and from the wider world. The critical problems are the fundamental tensions within Islam. The attitudes and criticisms common in the outside world can be ignored as misguided or hostile, but the tensions within Islam throughout the world must be confronted.
How do Muslims deal with the discomfort of being Muslim?
They live their lives, following their daily routine. They are aware of the discomfort of being Muslim within a system that is inimical to justice but they suppress such feelings and keep their heads down. They have not processed their feelings like the ritualistic and capitalist Muslims have.
What does Islam seek to inculcate in its followers?
Above all, Islam seeks to inculcate within every Muslim the need to seek justice and to apply it to himself as well as to others. Because Muslims believe that God is the beginning and the end of everything, all is preordained by Qadar (divine will).
What do Americans have in common with Muslims and Islam?
There is a lot that Americans have in common with Islam and Muslims. Islam emphasizes honesty and forthrightness. It emphasizes bravery and honour. It honours the Prophets that came before the noble Messenger (Å). The list goes on.
