Eye on events
Throughout the ages, Islam and the prophet Mohammed (PBUH ) have been bitterly attacked . But why did they wage this bitter attack against the prophet and Islam. Did they fail in finding out any mistake in the prophet’s behavior or in the Holy Quran. Of course the answer will be “Yes” The prophet succeeded in spreading Islam and the victory was in his side as Allah promised him. The non Muslims allege that Mohammed isn’t a true prophet and that the Qur'an was of his own making and was not revealed to him. To refute these allegations, we say. The prophet’s personal conduct throughout his life is a sound proof against this claim. He was known for his honest, truthfulness and integrity of character. From his fancy. Childhood, youth till his death, the prophet’s behaviour didn’t change and unspotted. This was clear when he was a child and how the angle Giprel purified his heart and the soul. The prophet didn’t participate in a gambling or usuary .When he was working as a shepherded. he was called “ The honest for looking after the cattle and sheep . His great opponent Abu- Sufian declared that Mohammed had never been known to tell a lie. Another piece of evidence which proves that Mohammed was a true prophet is his response to the cruelty of the pagans of Mecca. The prophet and the early Muslims suffered great hardships. At first they were slandered and mocked then the pagans cruel treatment took the from of attacking the individual Muslims and trying to humiliate them whenever they went and then the pagans resorted to complete boycott .During the boycott, Abu talb , the prophet’s uncle and great protector died, A short time afterwards , the prophet’s wife, Sayada Khadijah died too . Prophet was sad and defenseless. The prophet didn’t weaken or yield. The prophet decided to visit El – Taef, a neighboring tribe (about 80 kilometers from Mecca). Instead of helping the prophet, they mocked him and encouraged their children and their rif-raff to throw atones at him. The prophet faced different hardships with great courage and endured all these difficulties because he was sure of the final victory promised him by Allah.
Translation in English:-
علي مر العصر نري أن الإسلام و النبي محمد ( ص ) يهاجم هجوما شرسا ولكن ما السبب الذي يجعل الكفار يهاجون النبي و الإسلام بهذه الطريقة الشرسة ، هل لأنهم فشلوا في إيجاد أي خطأ في سلوك النبي ورسالة الإسلام . بالطبع نعم . لقد نجح النبي في نشر الدين الإسلامي . وكان النصر حليف النبي كما وعده الله . إن الكفار يدعوا أن النبي ليس نبيا حقيقيا و أن القرآن من صنعه وتأليفه ولم ينزل عليه . وحتى نرد علي هذه الادعاءات . نقول لهم : أن سلوك النبي في حياته و هو خير دليل نواجه به هذا الادعاء . لقد كان النبي معروفا بإخلاصه وصدقه و كمال شخصيته . منذ مولده وطفولته . وشبابه حتى وفاته فإن سلوك محمد لم يتغير ، وهذا كان واضحا عندما كان طفلا ووجدنا كيف الملك جبريل نقي قلبه وروحه . إن النبي لم يشارك أبدا في لعب القمار أو الربا ، وعندما كان يعمل راعيا للغنم كان يلفب بالأمين لأنه كان يرعي الغنم و الماشية . حتى إن خصمه الدود أبو سفيان صرح بأن النبي لم يكذب طيلة حياته . و هناك برهان آخر يثبت أن محمدا كان نبيا حقيقيا . وذلك يظهر عن خلال رده علي مشركي مكة لقد عاني النبي و المسلمين الذين تبعوه كثيرا من عذاب المشركين . أول هذا العذاب كان المشركين يهينوا ويزلوا ويسخروا من المسلمين ثم بعد ذك أخذ شكل العذاب شكلا آخر عندما هاجم المشركين المسلمين فردا فردا محاولين إذلالهم في أي مكان وجدوا فيه ثم لجأ المشركين بعد ذلك إلي ( القطيعة ) . أثناء فترة القطيعة مات عم النبي أبو طالب ، ، وبعده بفترة قصيرة ماتت السيدة خديجة زوجة النبي ، ولقد ساندوا الرسول بقوة ولقد حزن الرسول كثيرا لرحليهم لم يضعف الرسول و لم يستسلم وقرر أن يذهب لمدينة الطائف القبيلة المجاورة لمكة و التي تبعد عنها 80 كيلو متر . وبدلا من أن يساعدوا النبي سخروا منه وشجعوا أطفالهم و الرعاة أن يلقوا بالحجارة عليه . لقد واجه النبي صعاب مختلفة بشجاعة فائقة وتحمل كل هذه الصعاب لأنه كان متأكدا من النصر الذي وعده الله به .

Eye on events
To discuss the second allegation which accuses Mohammed that the Holy Quran is of his own making, we should explain 5 points concern the Holy Quran
.
1 – The style and elegance of the Quran. 2 – The prophecies of the Quran.
3 – Quran and the history of the past nations and previous prophet.
4 – Quran and Science. 5 – The Bible and science.
At first, how can we logically believe that the Holy Quran is of his own making? Mohammed who lived in an illiterate community and that he himself was illiterate how can he dare to make the Quran?
1- Its Style
Quran challenged the Arabs to try phase anything of the like and they failed.
2 – The Prophecies of the Quran
Quran includes more prophecies all of which came true who told Mohammed that
And from where he brought such things? How did he know that he would succeed in
making Islam supreme? How did he know that the Romans who were defeated by the Greeks will soon by victorious?
3 – Quran and the History of the past Nations
All the stories about the past nations and previous prophets came so accurate and
detailed that it can’t be imagined an illiterate man like Mohammed could have been the author.
4 – Quran and Science
Quran mentioned certain scientific facts which were unknown at the time of the
prophet. Now in our time science came to prove what Quran mentioned 14 centuries ago by Mohammed.
5 – The Bible and Science
All the holy books; and actually the Bible, which are in the hands of its followers mentioned some facts of modern science. But in the Holy Quran, we can find all the facts of modern science. All these prove that Mohammed and Quran are positively beyond any doubt and that the Holy Quran is a Divine book revealed to Mohammed by Allah. The Quran is the words of God reveled to the prophet. Mohammed when he was 40 years old and it lasted for 23 years. It’s the last message. That Allah sent to His creations. That any Muslim recites the Holy Quran he considers himself worshipping because he repeats the words of God . During the lifetime of the prophet Mohammed, he ordered some people to keep and to teach the rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran and they are called the “prescribes “. One of them who is named Zaid Ibn Thabet was ordered to collect it in one volume in the age of Umr Ibn Al- Khattab. The Holy Qur'an was revealed in Mecca & Medina. The Quran that revealed in Mecca calls for the unity of God and the Day of Resurrection. That revealed in Medima, for the social relationships of Muslims.
Translation in English:-
و لكى نناقش الادعاء الثاني و الذي يتهم محمدا بأن القرآن الكريم من صنعه علينا أن نشرح خمس نقاط تتعلق بالقرآن الكريم
أولا:- كيف نستطيع منطقيا أن نؤمن أن القرآن من صنع محمد عليه الصلاة و السلام ، و هو الذي عاش في مجتمع أمين ولقد كان
محمد نفسه أميا و كيف يجرؤ به أن يؤلف كتابا ، مثل القرآن .
(1) أسلــوب القــرآن :- لقد تحدي القرآن الكريم العرب بأن يحاولوا أن يأتوا بأية مثله ولكنهم فشلوا .
(2) نبؤات القــرآن الكـريم :- أن القرآن الكريم يشمل نبؤات كثيرة وكلها تحققت فمثلا ،من الذي أخبر
محمدا بهذه النبؤات ومن أين أحضر بمثل هذه الأشياء و كيف عرف أنه سوف ينجح في انتشار الإسلام وكيف
عرف أن الرومان بعد أن كانوا مهزومين بأنهم سينتصرون علي الإغريق .
(3) القــرآن وتاريخ الأمم السابقة:- إن كان القصص حول الأمم السابقة الأنبياء السابقين جاءت دقيقة كما
ردها النبي فهل في مخيل أحد أن يكون أمي ، مثل محمد يستطيع أن يؤلف مثل هذه القصص .
(4) القــرآن و العلـــوم :- لقـد ذكر القرآن حقائق علمية و التي كانت غير معروفة في عهد محمد و في وقتنا الحديث هذا أثبت العلوم ما ذكره القرآن من أربعة عشر قرنا مضت .
(5) الانجيــل و العـــوم :- إن كل الكتب السماوية وخاصة الإنجيل الذي يكون في متناول متتبعيه ذكروا بعض الحقائق عن العلوم الحديثة ولكن في القرآن الكريم نحن نستطيع أن نخبر كل هذه الحقائق . كل هذا أثبت أن محمدا و القرآن الكريم هو كتاب سماوي أوحي إلي النبي من عند الله . إن القرآن الكريم هو كلمات الله أوحي بها إلي النبي محمد عندما بلغ من العمر 40 عاما ، واستمر في تنزيله 23 عاما ، إنه أخر رسالة أرسلها الله لخلقه . وعندما يتلو أي مسلم القرآن الكريم فإنه يعتبر نفسه في عبادة ، لأنه يتلو كلمات الله . أثناء فترة حياة النبي محمد أمر بعض الناس أن يعلموا و يحفظوا أسلوب التلاوة ، وكانوا يسمون بحفظ القرآن و كان أحدهم و يسمي زيد بن ثابت و الذي أمر بجمع القرآن في مطبوع واحد وذلك كان في عهد الخليفة عمر بن الخطاب . أنزل القرآن في مكة و المدينة ، والقرآن الذي أنزل في مكة كانت كلماته تدعو إلي وحدانية الله ويوم البعث ، أما الذي أنزل في المدينة فكان يدعو إلي العلاقات الاجتماعية للمسلمين

Eye on events
Islam regulates not only religious aspects but also Muslim everyday dealings with others Islam deals with both spiritual and material life. The law governing the Muslim’s treatment of others is called Islamic jurisprudence (= Fikh ) . Application of Islam to daily life can be divided into two main categories? How Islam governs the Muslim’s behaviour inside the family and when dealings with others.
The Family الأســــرة
It’s the cell of the community and so it’s given great importance by Islam so from the very beginning a Muslim is asked to choose his future partner with care and make sure she is pious and has firm religious belief.
Polygamy تعدد الزوجات
To refute those who attack polygamy in Islam and depict the Muslim as sensuous
Person we say. In practice, polygamy is quite limited. In some cases polygamy is advisable and legally married to. Another wife is better than resorting to casual liaisons or taking woman as a bed partner without any legal linking but adultery which are now widespread in western countries community and himself was illiterate. Polygamy is only limited within certain strict limits and it’s a day that a Muslim should be fair in dealing with his wives.
Women Rights حقوق المراة
Rights given to woman by Islam for exceeds those given by other religions s. Under Islam women are full and equal partners of men. In Islam the family is the joint responsibility of the husband and wife. The wife is responsible for bringing up the children and wife. The wife is responsible for bringing up the children and managing the day family responsibility while the husband is responsible for supporting the family and for the welfare of its members but in western families each member is free to go his own way.
Relatives الآقـــارب
Muslim is exhorted to love, help and care for his relatives.
The Muslim and the community عـلاقـة المسلم بمجتمعه
The guiding principles which govern the various social and business dealing of
a Muslim are. Man is God’s agent to administrate the wealth given to him by God in accordance with his regulations. The Muslim’s dealing should be carried out with honesty. Islam is against usually, bribe and exploitation .There is mutual responsibility between the individual and the community.
Legislation التشــريعــات
No doubt that we need some legislation’s to face the problems in our life. Hence
“Usul al Fiqh “and “Jitihad “were constituted. Allah provided us with articulate proofs and clear source evidence in order not to have trouble in our life. The two sources that legislation has been built upon are the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. The Sunnah. Included everything our prophet Mohammed said I did and agreed to Ijtihad was also formed during the lifetime of our prophet and approved by him and correct some situations faced his companions.
المعاملات في الإسلام
إن الإسلام ينظم ليس فقط الوجه الديني ولكن أيضا تعاملات المسلم اليومية و القانونية الذي يحكم تعاملات المسلم
مع الآخرين هو ما يسمي بالفقه الإسلامي وقوانين الإسلام التي تطبق يوميا يمكن أن تقسم إلي جزئين .كــيف الإسلام يحكم سلوك المسلم داخل الأسرة و تعاملاته مع الآخرين .
الأســـرة أنها خلية المجتمع و يعطي لها أهمية من قبل الإسلام و المسلم مسئول عن اختيار شريكة عمرة وعليه أن يحرص
في اختياره و أن يتأكد أنها تقيه وإيمانها قوي .
تعــدد الــزوجـات
و حتى نرد علي الذين يهاجمون تعدد الزوجات في الإسلام ويصفون المسلم علي أنه غريزة تقول : -
1- تعدد الزوجات محدود و في حيز أقل . 2 – في بعض الحالات ينصح بالزواج من أخرى أفضل من اللجوء للطرق الأخرى بمصاحبة شريك أخر وذلك بطريقة غير شرعية و الزنا منتشر في المجتمعات الغربية .
3 – أن تعدد الزوجات مقصور داخل حدود معينة و أنه واجب علي كل مسلم ينبغي أن يكون عادلا مع زوجاته .
حقــوق المــرآة
أن الحقوق أعطيت للمرآة و تفوق الحقوق التي أعطيت لها من الديانات الأخرى . فنجد رأي الإسلام فالمرأة شريك و متساوية تماما مع الرجل في الأسرة المرأة مسئولة مع الرجل من الأسرة . فالمرآة مسئولة عن تربية الأطفال و إدارته الحياة اليومية بالمنزل ، بينما الزوج مسئول عن إمداد الأسرة بالمال ورفاهية الأسرة أيضا من مسئوليته ولكن في المتجمعات الغربية نجد أن كل عضو حر في طريقته في الحياة .
الأقـــارب و المسلـم مسئـول أيضا عن حياة و مساعدة و الاهتمام بأقاربه .
عــلاقة المسلم بمجتمعه
أن المبادئ الإرشادية التي تحكم تعامل وسلوك المسلم الاجتماعي هي :-
1 – أنه خليفة علي الأرض لإدارة الخيرات المعطاة له من الله طبقا لتنظيمات محددة .
2 – تعاملات المسلم يجب أن تنفذ بأمانة فالإسلام ضد الرباء و الاستغلال
3– هناك تبادل مشترك في المسئولية بين المجتمع و الأفراد .
التشــريعــات
لاشك أننا نحتاج إلي بعض التشريعات لنواجه المشاكل في حياتنا ، ومن هنا تم تشريع " أصول الفقه " و " الاجتهاد" ، لقد أمدنا الله بالبراهين الواضحة و الدلائل المؤكدة حتى لا نواجه المتاعب في حياتنا . و أهــم مصدرين بني عليهم التشريع هما القرآن الكريم و السنة ، إن السنة تشمل كل شيء قال النبي بل وفعله ووافق عليه ولقد تكون الاجتهاد في أثناء حياة النبي واستحسنها النبي . وصحح بعض المواقف التي واجهت أصحابه و اتباعه .

ترجمة الفصل العاشر (( تطبيق الشريعة الإسلامية ))
إن العالم الإسلامي يعاني كثيرا هذه الأيام من كثير من المشاكل مثل :- التفرقة العنصرية ، المجاعة في بعض الأقطار الأفريقية .
التفرقة العنصرية
" إن الناس كلها متساوية كأسنان المشط " هذه كلمات النبي و التي تعتبر بمثابة مبدأ في المجتمع الإسلامي ، حيث أن كل مسلم يحزم حقوق الآخرين . ولا اعتبار للون و الجنس أو الديانة هذا ما ينادي به الإسلام و من البداية وتاريخ الإسلام يحكي في معظم القصص هذه المعاني الجميلة و لقد حرص الإسلام المؤمن من إيمان إذا لم يحب للآخرين ما يحب لنفسه . إن الإسلام يعامل الناس كلها بتساو .
علي سبيل المثال :- عمر بن الخطاب و العجوز الغير مسلم الذي كان يتسول . الإسلام يقر احترام وحرية الآخرين
علي سبيل المثال :-قصة عمر بن الخطاب و سباق الخيول بين المصري القبطي وابن عمرو ابن القاضي حاكم مصر وقتنذ ، وقصة أخري لقد كان هناك اتفاق بين عمر بن الخطاب و قسيس مسيحي عندما فتح القدس وهناك أقر عمر بأمان ومساواة كل الناس في المدينة وجعل الدين حر لكل فرد .
إن الإسلام ضـد التفرقـة العنصريـة
ولقـد علم النبي اتباعه و أعطي لهم مثال جيد بنفسه فالمؤمن الحق هو الذي يطبق الصدق ، الأمانــة و الاحترام و التواضع و التحكم في النفس وحب الغير وكل الصفات الأخرى النبيلة و المسلم الحق هو الذي يحب لنفسه ما يحبه لأخيه . و مؤمن الثواب الذي سيناله في الآخرة و لهذا نجد المسلم جاهز للتضحية بنفسـه وبماله في سبيل دينه و تمسكه بتعاليم الله ورسوله . المسلم الحقيقي يفضل تواب الآخرة علي ثواب الدنيا الوقتي . وكنتيجة لهذا و تمسكه بدينه يجعل المسلم يعيش حياة سعيدة و يعيش في سلام مع الناس و كل من حوله و مع نفسه .
Question and answer:-
1-Show that Islam is against any kind of apartheid or racial discrimination?
In fact Islam is against any kind of racial discrimination because of colour, race or religion. Islam is exemplary in this respect. Under Islam people are as equal as the teeth of comb. Every person in the Islamic community should respect the rights and dignity of others regardless of their religion, race or colour this is why love and peace is spread in a Muslim community unlike any place where discrimination is practised.
2-How is the non Muslim treated under Islam? (In a Muslim community ?
The non Muslim enjoys equal treatment under Islam. They are not forced to be converted to Islam nor are they treated differently (here you can mention the story of the Egyptian young man and the son of the Muslim conqueror of Egypt Omar Ibn El’as ) The non Muslim are given justice and social insurance and this is why live peacefully and happily under Islam .
3-What happened between Belal and Abu Dharr?
Belal disagreed one day with Abu Dharr, one of the Sahaba of the
Prophet. Abu Dharr forgot himself in the course of the argument and called Belal son of the black woman. Belal complained to the prophet and told him the words of Abu Dharr. The prophet was very angry with Abu Dharr and said to him “You are a person with some Jahelia still in you “Abu Dharr felt quite sorry for that slip of tongue, He was so repentant that he lay prostrate on the ground and insisted that Belal should kick his head so as to drive away the remaining part of “Jahelia “.
4-Show that the prophet Mohammed was a great educator to his followers.
The prophet Mohamed “Peace be upon him “was a great equator and he
educated his followers by giving them a good example. Once a non Muslim Arab came to the prophet asking for the repayment of acertainsum of money the prophet owed him; he was very rude in his demand and said to the prophet “ You the sons of Abdul Motaleb are known for your procrastination “ This rude behaviour infuriated Omar who asked the prophet to give him a permission to kill the rude man, but the prophet said to Omar “ You had better advise him to be more polite in his demand and advise me to be more punctual in my payment” The astounded Arab was so affected by this exemplary of the prophet that he converted to Islam and asked for the prophet’s forgiveness, And this was a marvelous example of modesty and self-control .
5-Why is the true Muslim ready to sacrifice his life and his money for the sake of his religion? Because our life on earth is limited and the after death is the eternal life so the Muslim prefers the eternal reward given to those who adhere to the teachings of religion.
6-Why are we in bad need to altruism in our present era?
In fact we are in bad need to altruism in our present era when materialism has spread far and wide. Every person is occupied in amassing as much money as possible for himself regardless of others. He doesn’t extend a helping hand to the needy or the miserable. However a true Muslim should care for others as well in some cases he prefers them to himself.
7-What is altruism? Its unselfishness, a true Muslim should care for others as well as he cares for himself. (Preferring others to your self.)
8-Why do Muslims usually lead a happy life?
The Muslim usually led a happy life because they are at peace with themselves and with those around them. This feeling is the result of their keeping to the rules of Islam, and also their adherence to the Islamic teachings and its great values.
9-What does Jahelia mean? It’s pre .Islamic time where the man was ignorant of everything beneficial him in life.
10-Why is a true Muslim unselfish?

Eye on events
Throughout the ages, Islam and the prophet Mohammed (PBUH ) have been bitterly attacked . But why did they wage this bitter attack against the prophet and Islam. Did they fail in finding out any mistake in the prophet’s behavior or in the Holy Quran. Of course the answer will be “Yes” The prophet succeeded in spreading Islam and the victory was in his side as Allah promised him. The non Muslims allege that Mohammed isn’t a true prophet and that the Qur'an was of his own making and was not revealed to him. To refute these allegations, we say. The prophet’s personal conduct throughout his life is a sound proof against this claim. He was known for his honest, truthfulness and integrity of character. From his fancy. Childhood, youth till his death, the prophet’s behaviour didn’t change and unspotted. This was clear when he was a child and how the angle Giprel purified his heart and the soul. The prophet didn’t participate in a gambling or usuary .When he was working as a shepherded. he was called “ The honest for looking after the cattle and sheep . His great opponent Abu- Sufian declared that Mohammed had never been known to tell a lie. Another piece of evidence which proves that Mohammed was a true prophet is his response to the cruelty of the pagans of Mecca. The prophet and the early Muslims suffered great hardships. At first they were slandered and mocked then the pagans cruel treatment took the from of attacking the individual Muslims and trying to humiliate them whenever they went and then the pagans resorted to complete boycott .During the boycott, Abu talb , the prophet’s uncle and great protector died, A short time afterwards , the prophet’s wife, Sayada Khadijah died too . Prophet was sad and defenseless. The prophet didn’t weaken or yield. The prophet decided to visit El – Taef, a neighboring tribe (about 80 kilometers from Mecca). Instead of helping the prophet, they mocked him and encouraged their children and their rif-raff to throw atones at him. The prophet faced different hardships with great courage and endured all these difficulties because he was sure of the final victory promised him by Allah.
Translation in English:-
علي مر العصر نري أن الإسلام و النبي محمد ( ص ) يهاجم هجوما شرسا ولكن ما السبب الذي يجعل الكفار يهاجون النبي و الإسلام بهذه الطريقة الشرسة ، هل لأنهم فشلوا في إيجاد أي خطأ في سلوك النبي ورسالة الإسلام . بالطبع نعم . لقد نجح النبي في نشر الدين الإسلامي . وكان النصر حليف النبي كما وعده الله . إن الكفار يدعوا أن النبي ليس نبيا حقيقيا و أن القرآن من صنعه وتأليفه ولم ينزل عليه . وحتى نرد علي هذه الادعاءات . نقول لهم : أن سلوك النبي في حياته و هو خير دليل نواجه به هذا الادعاء . لقد كان النبي معروفا بإخلاصه وصدقه و كمال شخصيته . منذ مولده وطفولته . وشبابه حتى وفاته فإن سلوك محمد لم يتغير ، وهذا كان واضحا عندما كان طفلا ووجدنا كيف الملك جبريل نقي قلبه وروحه . إن النبي لم يشارك أبدا في لعب القمار أو الربا ، وعندما كان يعمل راعيا للغنم كان يلفب بالأمين لأنه كان يرعي الغنم و الماشية . حتى إن خصمه الدود أبو سفيان صرح بأن النبي لم يكذب طيلة حياته . و هناك برهان آخر يثبت أن محمدا كان نبيا حقيقيا . وذلك يظهر عن خلال رده علي مشركي مكة لقد عاني النبي و المسلمين الذين تبعوه كثيرا من عذاب المشركين . أول هذا العذاب كان المشركين يهينوا ويزلوا ويسخروا من المسلمين ثم بعد ذك أخذ شكل العذاب شكلا آخر عندما هاجم المشركين المسلمين فردا فردا محاولين إذلالهم في أي مكان وجدوا فيه ثم لجأ المشركين بعد ذلك إلي ( القطيعة ) . أثناء فترة القطيعة مات عم النبي أبو طالب ، ، وبعده بفترة قصيرة ماتت السيدة خديجة زوجة النبي ، ولقد ساندوا الرسول بقوة ولقد حزن الرسول كثيرا لرحليهم لم يضعف الرسول و لم يستسلم وقرر أن يذهب لمدينة الطائف القبيلة المجاورة لمكة و التي تبعد عنها 80 كيلو متر . وبدلا من أن يساعدوا النبي سخروا منه وشجعوا أطفالهم و الرعاة أن يلقوا بالحجارة عليه . لقد واجه النبي صعاب مختلفة بشجاعة فائقة وتحمل كل هذه الصعاب لأنه كان متأكدا من النصر الذي وعده الله به .

Eye on events
To discuss the second allegation which accuses Mohammed that the Holy Quran is of his own making, we should explain 5 points concern the Holy Quran
.
1 – The style and elegance of the Quran. 2 – The prophecies of the Quran.
3 – Quran and the history of the past nations and previous prophet.
4 – Quran and Science. 5 – The Bible and science.
At first, how can we logically believe that the Holy Quran is of his own making? Mohammed who lived in an illiterate community and that he himself was illiterate how can he dare to make the Quran?
1- Its Style
Quran challenged the Arabs to try phase anything of the like and they failed.
2 – The Prophecies of the Quran
Quran includes more prophecies all of which came true who told Mohammed that
And from where he brought such things? How did he know that he would succeed in
making Islam supreme? How did he know that the Romans who were defeated by the Greeks will soon by victorious?
3 – Quran and the History of the past Nations
All the stories about the past nations and previous prophets came so accurate and
detailed that it can’t be imagined an illiterate man like Mohammed could have been the author.
4 – Quran and Science
Quran mentioned certain scientific facts which were unknown at the time of the
prophet. Now in our time science came to prove what Quran mentioned 14 centuries ago by Mohammed.
5 – The Bible and Science
All the holy books; and actually the Bible, which are in the hands of its followers mentioned some facts of modern science. But in the Holy Quran, we can find all the facts of modern science. All these prove that Mohammed and Quran are positively beyond any doubt and that the Holy Quran is a Divine book revealed to Mohammed by Allah. The Quran is the words of God reveled to the prophet. Mohammed when he was 40 years old and it lasted for 23 years. It’s the last message. That Allah sent to His creations. That any Muslim recites the Holy Quran he considers himself worshipping because he repeats the words of God . During the lifetime of the prophet Mohammed, he ordered some people to keep and to teach the rules of the recitation of the Holy Quran and they are called the “prescribes “. One of them who is named Zaid Ibn Thabet was ordered to collect it in one volume in the age of Umr Ibn Al- Khattab. The Holy Qur'an was revealed in Mecca & Medina. The Quran that revealed in Mecca calls for the unity of God and the Day of Resurrection. That revealed in Medima, for the social relationships of Muslims.
Translation in English:-
و لكى نناقش الادعاء الثاني و الذي يتهم محمدا بأن القرآن الكريم من صنعه علينا أن نشرح خمس نقاط تتعلق بالقرآن الكريم
أولا:- كيف نستطيع منطقيا أن نؤمن أن القرآن من صنع محمد عليه الصلاة و السلام ، و هو الذي عاش في مجتمع أمين ولقد كان
محمد نفسه أميا و كيف يجرؤ به أن يؤلف كتابا ، مثل القرآن .
(1) أسلــوب القــرآن :- لقد تحدي القرآن الكريم العرب بأن يحاولوا أن يأتوا بأية مثله ولكنهم فشلوا .
(2) نبؤات القــرآن الكـريم :- أن القرآن الكريم يشمل نبؤات كثيرة وكلها تحققت فمثلا ،من الذي أخبر
محمدا بهذه النبؤات ومن أين أحضر بمثل هذه الأشياء و كيف عرف أنه سوف ينجح في انتشار الإسلام وكيف
عرف أن الرومان بعد أن كانوا مهزومين بأنهم سينتصرون علي الإغريق .
(3) القــرآن وتاريخ الأمم السابقة:- إن كان القصص حول الأمم السابقة الأنبياء السابقين جاءت دقيقة كما
ردها النبي فهل في مخيل أحد أن يكون أمي ، مثل محمد يستطيع أن يؤلف مثل هذه القصص .
(4) القــرآن و العلـــوم :- لقـد ذكر القرآن حقائق علمية و التي كانت غير معروفة في عهد محمد و في وقتنا الحديث هذا أثبت العلوم ما ذكره القرآن من أربعة عشر قرنا مضت .
(5) الانجيــل و العـــوم :- إن كل الكتب السماوية وخاصة الإنجيل الذي يكون في متناول متتبعيه ذكروا بعض الحقائق عن العلوم الحديثة ولكن في القرآن الكريم نحن نستطيع أن نخبر كل هذه الحقائق . كل هذا أثبت أن محمدا و القرآن الكريم هو كتاب سماوي أوحي إلي النبي من عند الله . إن القرآن الكريم هو كلمات الله أوحي بها إلي النبي محمد عندما بلغ من العمر 40 عاما ، واستمر في تنزيله 23 عاما ، إنه أخر رسالة أرسلها الله لخلقه . وعندما يتلو أي مسلم القرآن الكريم فإنه يعتبر نفسه في عبادة ، لأنه يتلو كلمات الله . أثناء فترة حياة النبي محمد أمر بعض الناس أن يعلموا و يحفظوا أسلوب التلاوة ، وكانوا يسمون بحفظ القرآن و كان أحدهم و يسمي زيد بن ثابت و الذي أمر بجمع القرآن في مطبوع واحد وذلك كان في عهد الخليفة عمر بن الخطاب . أنزل القرآن في مكة و المدينة ، والقرآن الذي أنزل في مكة كانت كلماته تدعو إلي وحدانية الله ويوم البعث ، أما الذي أنزل في المدينة فكان يدعو إلي العلاقات الاجتماعية للمسلمين

Eye on events
Islam regulates not only religious aspects but also Muslim everyday dealings with others Islam deals with both spiritual and material life. The law governing the Muslim’s treatment of others is called Islamic jurisprudence (= Fikh ) . Application of Islam to daily life can be divided into two main categories? How Islam governs the Muslim’s behaviour inside the family and when dealings with others.
The Family الأســــرة
It’s the cell of the community and so it’s given great importance by Islam so from the very beginning a Muslim is asked to choose his future partner with care and make sure she is pious and has firm religious belief.
Polygamy تعدد الزوجات
To refute those who attack polygamy in Islam and depict the Muslim as sensuous
Person we say. In practice, polygamy is quite limited. In some cases polygamy is advisable and legally married to. Another wife is better than resorting to casual liaisons or taking woman as a bed partner without any legal linking but adultery which are now widespread in western countries community and himself was illiterate. Polygamy is only limited within certain strict limits and it’s a day that a Muslim should be fair in dealing with his wives.
Women Rights حقوق المراة
Rights given to woman by Islam for exceeds those given by other religions s. Under Islam women are full and equal partners of men. In Islam the family is the joint responsibility of the husband and wife. The wife is responsible for bringing up the children and wife. The wife is responsible for bringing up the children and managing the day family responsibility while the husband is responsible for supporting the family and for the welfare of its members but in western families each member is free to go his own way.
Relatives الآقـــارب
Muslim is exhorted to love, help and care for his relatives.
The Muslim and the community عـلاقـة المسلم بمجتمعه
The guiding principles which govern the various social and business dealing of
a Muslim are. Man is God’s agent to administrate the wealth given to him by God in accordance with his regulations. The Muslim’s dealing should be carried out with honesty. Islam is against usually, bribe and exploitation .There is mutual responsibility between the individual and the community.
Legislation التشــريعــات
No doubt that we need some legislation’s to face the problems in our life. Hence
“Usul al Fiqh “and “Jitihad “were constituted. Allah provided us with articulate proofs and clear source evidence in order not to have trouble in our life. The two sources that legislation has been built upon are the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. The Sunnah. Included everything our prophet Mohammed said I did and agreed to Ijtihad was also formed during the lifetime of our prophet and approved by him and correct some situations faced his companions.
المعاملات في الإسلام
إن الإسلام ينظم ليس فقط الوجه الديني ولكن أيضا تعاملات المسلم اليومية و القانونية الذي يحكم تعاملات المسلم
مع الآخرين هو ما يسمي بالفقه الإسلامي وقوانين الإسلام التي تطبق يوميا يمكن أن تقسم إلي جزئين .كــيف الإسلام يحكم سلوك المسلم داخل الأسرة و تعاملاته مع الآخرين .
الأســـرة أنها خلية المجتمع و يعطي لها أهمية من قبل الإسلام و المسلم مسئول عن اختيار شريكة عمرة وعليه أن يحرص
في اختياره و أن يتأكد أنها تقيه وإيمانها قوي .
تعــدد الــزوجـات
و حتى نرد علي الذين يهاجمون تعدد الزوجات في الإسلام ويصفون المسلم علي أنه غريزة تقول : -
1- تعدد الزوجات محدود و في حيز أقل . 2 – في بعض الحالات ينصح بالزواج من أخرى أفضل من اللجوء للطرق الأخرى بمصاحبة شريك أخر وذلك بطريقة غير شرعية و الزنا منتشر في المجتمعات الغربية .
3 – أن تعدد الزوجات مقصور داخل حدود معينة و أنه واجب علي كل مسلم ينبغي أن يكون عادلا مع زوجاته .
حقــوق المــرآة
أن الحقوق أعطيت للمرآة و تفوق الحقوق التي أعطيت لها من الديانات الأخرى . فنجد رأي الإسلام فالمرأة شريك و متساوية تماما مع الرجل في الأسرة المرأة مسئولة مع الرجل من الأسرة . فالمرآة مسئولة عن تربية الأطفال و إدارته الحياة اليومية بالمنزل ، بينما الزوج مسئول عن إمداد الأسرة بالمال ورفاهية الأسرة أيضا من مسئوليته ولكن في المتجمعات الغربية نجد أن كل عضو حر في طريقته في الحياة .
الأقـــارب و المسلـم مسئـول أيضا عن حياة و مساعدة و الاهتمام بأقاربه .
عــلاقة المسلم بمجتمعه
أن المبادئ الإرشادية التي تحكم تعامل وسلوك المسلم الاجتماعي هي :-
1 – أنه خليفة علي الأرض لإدارة الخيرات المعطاة له من الله طبقا لتنظيمات محددة .
2 – تعاملات المسلم يجب أن تنفذ بأمانة فالإسلام ضد الرباء و الاستغلال
3– هناك تبادل مشترك في المسئولية بين المجتمع و الأفراد .
التشــريعــات
لاشك أننا نحتاج إلي بعض التشريعات لنواجه المشاكل في حياتنا ، ومن هنا تم تشريع " أصول الفقه " و " الاجتهاد" ، لقد أمدنا الله بالبراهين الواضحة و الدلائل المؤكدة حتى لا نواجه المتاعب في حياتنا . و أهــم مصدرين بني عليهم التشريع هما القرآن الكريم و السنة ، إن السنة تشمل كل شيء قال النبي بل وفعله ووافق عليه ولقد تكون الاجتهاد في أثناء حياة النبي واستحسنها النبي . وصحح بعض المواقف التي واجهت أصحابه و اتباعه .

ترجمة الفصل العاشر (( تطبيق الشريعة الإسلامية ))
إن العالم الإسلامي يعاني كثيرا هذه الأيام من كثير من المشاكل مثل :- التفرقة العنصرية ، المجاعة في بعض الأقطار الأفريقية .
التفرقة العنصرية
" إن الناس كلها متساوية كأسنان المشط " هذه كلمات النبي و التي تعتبر بمثابة مبدأ في المجتمع الإسلامي ، حيث أن كل مسلم يحزم حقوق الآخرين . ولا اعتبار للون و الجنس أو الديانة هذا ما ينادي به الإسلام و من البداية وتاريخ الإسلام يحكي في معظم القصص هذه المعاني الجميلة و لقد حرص الإسلام المؤمن من إيمان إذا لم يحب للآخرين ما يحب لنفسه . إن الإسلام يعامل الناس كلها بتساو .
علي سبيل المثال :- عمر بن الخطاب و العجوز الغير مسلم الذي كان يتسول . الإسلام يقر احترام وحرية الآخرين
علي سبيل المثال :-قصة عمر بن الخطاب و سباق الخيول بين المصري القبطي وابن عمرو ابن القاضي حاكم مصر وقتنذ ، وقصة أخري لقد كان هناك اتفاق بين عمر بن الخطاب و قسيس مسيحي عندما فتح القدس وهناك أقر عمر بأمان ومساواة كل الناس في المدينة وجعل الدين حر لكل فرد .
إن الإسلام ضـد التفرقـة العنصريـة
ولقـد علم النبي اتباعه و أعطي لهم مثال جيد بنفسه فالمؤمن الحق هو الذي يطبق الصدق ، الأمانــة و الاحترام و التواضع و التحكم في النفس وحب الغير وكل الصفات الأخرى النبيلة و المسلم الحق هو الذي يحب لنفسه ما يحبه لأخيه . و مؤمن الثواب الذي سيناله في الآخرة و لهذا نجد المسلم جاهز للتضحية بنفسـه وبماله في سبيل دينه و تمسكه بتعاليم الله ورسوله . المسلم الحقيقي يفضل تواب الآخرة علي ثواب الدنيا الوقتي . وكنتيجة لهذا و تمسكه بدينه يجعل المسلم يعيش حياة سعيدة و يعيش في سلام مع الناس و كل من حوله و مع نفسه .
Question and answer:-
1-Show that Islam is against any kind of apartheid or racial discrimination?
In fact Islam is against any kind of racial discrimination because of colour, race or religion. Islam is exemplary in this respect. Under Islam people are as equal as the teeth of comb. Every person in the Islamic community should respect the rights and dignity of others regardless of their religion, race or colour this is why love and peace is spread in a Muslim community unlike any place where discrimination is practised.
2-How is the non Muslim treated under Islam? (In a Muslim community ?
The non Muslim enjoys equal treatment under Islam. They are not forced to be converted to Islam nor are they treated differently (here you can mention the story of the Egyptian young man and the son of the Muslim conqueror of Egypt Omar Ibn El’as ) The non Muslim are given justice and social insurance and this is why live peacefully and happily under Islam .
3-What happened between Belal and Abu Dharr?
Belal disagreed one day with Abu Dharr, one of the Sahaba of the
Prophet. Abu Dharr forgot himself in the course of the argument and called Belal son of the black woman. Belal complained to the prophet and told him the words of Abu Dharr. The prophet was very angry with Abu Dharr and said to him “You are a person with some Jahelia still in you “Abu Dharr felt quite sorry for that slip of tongue, He was so repentant that he lay prostrate on the ground and insisted that Belal should kick his head so as to drive away the remaining part of “Jahelia “.
4-Show that the prophet Mohammed was a great educator to his followers.
The prophet Mohamed “Peace be upon him “was a great equator and he
educated his followers by giving them a good example. Once a non Muslim Arab came to the prophet asking for the repayment of acertainsum of money the prophet owed him; he was very rude in his demand and said to the prophet “ You the sons of Abdul Motaleb are known for your procrastination “ This rude behaviour infuriated Omar who asked the prophet to give him a permission to kill the rude man, but the prophet said to Omar “ You had better advise him to be more polite in his demand and advise me to be more punctual in my payment” The astounded Arab was so affected by this exemplary of the prophet that he converted to Islam and asked for the prophet’s forgiveness, And this was a marvelous example of modesty and self-control .
5-Why is the true Muslim ready to sacrifice his life and his money for the sake of his religion? Because our life on earth is limited and the after death is the eternal life so the Muslim prefers the eternal reward given to those who adhere to the teachings of religion.
6-Why are we in bad need to altruism in our present era?
In fact we are in bad need to altruism in our present era when materialism has spread far and wide. Every person is occupied in amassing as much money as possible for himself regardless of others. He doesn’t extend a helping hand to the needy or the miserable. However a true Muslim should care for others as well in some cases he prefers them to himself.
7-What is altruism? Its unselfishness, a true Muslim should care for others as well as he cares for himself. (Preferring others to your self.)
8-Why do Muslims usually lead a happy life?
The Muslim usually led a happy life because they are at peace with themselves and with those around them. This feeling is the result of their keeping to the rules of Islam, and also their adherence to the Islamic teachings and its great values.
9-What does Jahelia mean? It’s pre .Islamic time where the man was ignorant of everything beneficial him in life.
