How do you find these terms? Do you have your prior knowledge before about
these? Do you want to know more about these terms?

Islam means “submission” and implies submission to the will of God, while the word
Muslim means “one who submits to Allah (God). Islam is a monotheistic religion which
means that this religion believes in only one God.
 The word Islam came from the term “al-silm” meaning peace, and from the
word “istaslama” meaning “to surrender” or submission to God.
 Ilah means “the god” or “the deity” in Aarabic.
 It was founded by prophet Muhammad in the early 7th century
 Muhamad is believed to be the Holy Prophet of Islam and is the last prophet
sent by Allah to Mankind
 The prophet founded the religion in the city of Mecca or also now called
Saudi Arabia
 When Muhammad died, the Islamic government was called the “Caliphate”
and was being ruled by “Caliph”.
 The four Caliphs were taught by Muhammad and they were called the “Right
Guided “ Caliphs.
 The Islamic Empire grew during the Middle Ages and is one of the largest
empires in recorded history.
 The empire governed the whole Middle East, Northern Africa, Spain, and
some parts of Asia and India.
 The Islamic Empire had its Golden Age and he was when science and
technology, culture, education, and most importantly, arts flourished.
 The Golden Age lasted from 790 CE to 1258 C.
 In time, Muhammad earned a reputation as honest and sincere, acquiring the
nickname “al-Amin” meaning faithful or trustworthy.
 In his early 20s, Muhammad began working for a wealthy merchant woman
named Khadijah, 15 years his senior. She soon became attracted to this
young, accomplished man and proposed marriage.

1
  He accepted and over the years the happy union brought several children. Not all lived
to adulthood, but one, Fatima, would marry Muhammad’s cousin, Ali ibn Abi Talib, whom
Shi’ite Muslims regard as Muhammad’s successor.
 Baghdad city was the cultural center during his period and was of the Abbasid Caliphate.
 The period came to an end when Mongols conquered Baghdad city in 1258 C.E.
 Islamic art rarely included humans or animal figures to avoid idolatry that people would
worship.
 Major capital cities of the Caliphate included Baghdad, Cairo, Istanbul, Medina, and
Damascus.
 Muhammad formed a new community known as Ummah of Islam, whose members were
bound together not by blood but by shared faith.

A. Symbols

 The star and crescent have become the acknowledged representative of the Islamic faith.
 The symbol can be seen in the national flags of states that came about following the
collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the 20th century.
 Around the 1970s, it was adopted by movements that advocated Arab nationalism.
 Traditionally, the crescent moon or the hilal has early connections with royalty.
 It is also closely linked to the lunar calendar that orders the religious life of the Muslims.

B. The Life of Muhammad

Muhammad was born around 570, AD in Mecca (now in Saudi Arabia). His father died
before he was born and he was raised first by his grandfather and then his uncle. He belonged
to a poor but respectable family of the Quraysh tribe. The family was active in Meccan politics
and trade.
 Many of the tribes living in the Arabian Peninsula at the time were nomadic, trading
goods as they crisscrossed the desert. Most tribes were polytheistic, worshipping their
own set of gods.
 The town of Mecca was an important trading and religious center, home to many
temples and worship sites where the devoted prayed to the idols of these gods. The
most famous site was the Kaaba (meaning cube in Arabic).
 It is believed to have been built by Abraham (Ibrahim to Muslims) and his son Ismail.
Gradually the people of Mecca turned to polytheism and idolatry.
 Of all the gods worshipped, it is believed that Allah was considered the greatest and the
only one without an idol.
 In his early teens, Muhammad worked in a camel caravan, following in the footsteps of
many people his age, born of meager wealth. Working for his uncle, he gained
experience in commercial trade traveling to Syria and eventually from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Indian Ocean.
 Muhammad was also very religious, occasionally taking journeys of devotion to sacred
sites near Mecca. On one of his pilgrimages in 610, he was meditating in a cave on
Mount Jabal aI-Nour.
 The Angel Gabriel appeared and relayed the word of God: “Recite in the name of your
Lord Who creates, creates man from a clot! Recite for your lord is most generous….”
These words became the opening verses of sūrah (chapter) 96 of the Qur'an.
 Most Islamic historians believe Muhammad was initially disturbed by the revelations
and that he didn’t reveal them publicly for several years.

Day 2.

I. Mini-Lesson

Basic Teachings of Islam

Qur’an
Qur’an is the official sacred text of Islam. It is written in Old Arabic and is divided into chapters (suras) and verses (ayas).
  Muslims believed that the words in the Qur’an are the revelations of God to
Muhammad through Angel Gabriel and thus, are divine and eternal.
 The Qur’ an teaches that God revealed Himself in history, nature , and scripture.
Thus, God’s existence is also revealed in those forms.
 The basic belief of Islam is expressed in the shahada, the Muslim confession
faith, which states that “there is only one God, and this God is Allah.”This belief
can be found in Al-Fatihah (The Opening )
 , the first chapter of the
 Qur’an.
Al-Fatihah is considered the heart of the Qur’an and is repeated in daily
prayers and other occasions.
Al-Baqarah ( The Cow) is the second and longest sura (chapter) of the
Qur’an
Muslims believe that this chapter was revealed to Muhammad gradually
as necessitated by the various Islamic social circumstances and
conditions when he was in Medina.
Al-Baqarah addresses a wide variety of topics including monotheism,
inimitability, and significance of the Qur’an ;
history of Abraham and Moses; and some Islamic rules on prayers, fasting
,Holy War, pilgrimage to Mecca, among others.
B. No god but God: Allah
 Muslims view the reality of Allah as
 divided into three major themes:
1) Allah is the creator, provider, and judge;
2). Allah is unique (Wahid) and one (ahad);
3.) Allah is omnipotent and merciful.
 The Qur’an and the Hadith (collection of sayings of the Prophet Muhammad)
mentioned names of Allah, which include One and Only, the Living One, the
Subsisting, the Real Truth, the Sublime, the Wise, the Omnipotent, the Hearer,
the Seer, the Omniscient, the Witness, the Trustee, the Benefactor, the Merciful,
and the Constant Forgiver.
Devoted and pious Muslims use these venerated names of Allah in their
recitation and meditation.
C. The Five Pillars of Islam
 The Five Pillars of Faith are the five obligations that every Muslim must satisfy
to live a good and responsible life according to Islam.
 Shahada, (The Creed), is the Muslim belief that there is no God but Allah
himself and that Muhammad is his Messenger. In Arabic, the shahada is
recited as “La ilaha illa Allah; Muhammad on rasul Allah.”These are the very
first words uttered into an infant's ear and perhaps the last words given to a
dying Muslim.
 The shahada asserts that Allah is the only divinity and that he has relayed his
will through Muhammad.
 To be accepted into the Islam fold, one must recite the kalima or phrase with
two witnesses.
The first half of the kalima is known as Tawheed (“the unity”) which is
the most important statement of the Muslim faith.
 The second half is called risallah ( “acceptance of prophethood”) which
implies acceptance of prophets as messengers of God.
 For a Muslim to deny any part of the shahada is tantamount to the crime of
reversion to Islam that is punishable under Quranic law.
 Salat,(Obligatory Prayer) explains that Muslims should pray five times a day
and do this at special times of the day.
 When Muslims pray, they should be facing the holy city of Mecca.
 Muslims must offer prayers or salat five times every day ---- before sunrise,
noon,mid-afternoon, immediately after sunset, and before midnight.
 In a mosque or masjid (place of prostration) where Muslims offer prayers in
congregation, men and women pray separately.
 A minaret is a tall structure or thin tower that is used to call the people to pray.
 Before any prayer commences, an elaborate ritual washing (wudu) must be
performed to remove any impurities and unclean substances from the body or
clothes of the faithful.
 To pray, a Muslim stands on the clean ground without shoes or wearing clean
ones
D. Zakat (Poor Tax)
 Muslims who live above the subsistence level must pay zakat or the poor tax
to aid the underprivileged Muslims.
 Affluent Muslims must share their wealth to the unfortunate ones
 Originally, almsgiving was for the benefit of the poor, widows, and orphans
through an act of charity.
 Zakat is not a charity but an annual wealth tax that serves as just and lawful
claim of the poor against the affluent ones.
 The zakat is payable the moment a Muslim has accumulated sufficient
resources starting with a basic rate which is fortieth (2.5 percent) of a
person’s entire asset, including savings, jewels, and land.
 A kind of tithe intended to support the needy, zakat has been a
contributory factor of solidarity and unity for the Muslim people.
E. Sawm (Fasting )
During the entire 30 days of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar,
must be performed by all Muslims every year.
 Ramadan is believed to be the month when Muhammad received the first
surah of the Quran.
 The sawm is done by all Muslims to express obedience to Allah and the
readiness to relinquish pleasures in their lives. By undertaking sawm, Muslims
observe discipline and experience the deprivations of the poor.
 During Ramadan, Muslims must refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and
engaging in any sexual intimacy from dusk until dawn.
 By resisting the demands of the body during sawm, the Muslims strengthen their will.
Muslims are reminded that they can ignore the longing of the body or material
gratification.
  The sawm culminates with the “Feast of Breaking the Fast “ (Id al –Fitr) wherein
Muslims may celebrate and partake in festivities.
 Any Muslim who has reached puberty, and is healthy must undertake sawm,
Muslims who are exempted from performing sawm include small children, those
who are on a journey, sick persons, and mothers nursing infants.
F. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca)
All Muslims must attempt to undertake a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca or hajj
(visitation of Holy Places”) at least once in their lifetime during the twelfth Islamic
month.
 The “Grand Mosque” (Al-Masjid al-Haram) in Mecca houses the most sacred site
of Islam.
 The Kaaba (“House of Allah”) is a cube-shaped ancient stone building that dates
back to the time of Adam and Eve according to Muslim tradition.
 Muslims believe that the Kaaba was originally built for the worship of God by
Abraham and his son Ishmael. The Kaaba represents the end of a journey
because it is a symbolic point of origin of all creation wherein all things turn around
it and from it all things radiate.
 For Muslim men to participate in hajj, they must be sound, physically able, and able
to provide for their dependents while they are on a pilgrimage to Mecca. On the
other hand, women must be accompanied by a male chaperon (mahram) who must
be a man they are legally married, such as their father or brother.
 Central to the pilgrimage is a full day spent in the desert on the Arafat plain
considered sacred by the Muslims. The mountain of Arafat was the site of
Muhammad ‘s last sermon. For many people located in a region distant from the
Arabian Peninsula, the hajj serves as the pinnacle of years of yearning to be with
God.

Day 3.

I. Mini-Lesson

Worship and Observances

 One Islamic year contains 354 or 355 days
 There are two important festive days in a year for Muslims around the world
Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Breaking Fast) signals the end of Ramadan.
During these festivals, Muslims do not only celebrate the end of fasting; they
also thank Allah for the help and strength that He gave them throughout the
previous month to help them practice self-control
Eid al- Adha is a four-day festival that remembers the prophet Ibrahim’s
(Abraham) willingness to offer his son to God. During this festival, Muslims,
who can afford, sacrifice animals as a symbol of Ibrahim’s sacrifice and of
their willingness to sacrifice anything to God. The feast of sacrifice signals the
end of the hajj.
 Al-Hijrah is celebrated on the first day of the month of Muharram.
 Ashura fasting holiday and is celebrated on the 10th day of Muharram.
 Mawlid an-Nabi –they celebrate the birth of Muhammad on the 12th day of Rabi al –
Awwal.
 Ramadan-It is the ninth month in the calendar. It is also the month that Muhammad
saw the Quran.
 Laylat al-Qadr is called the Night of Power, it takes place near the end of Ramadan.
It is the night Muhammad received the Quran.
 Friday is the special day of worship for the Muslims as commanded by
Muhammad.
In mosques, Muslims are required to pray with his fellows, and prayers are
led by an Imam. An imam is a member of the community selected to lead the
congregation due to the devoutness and religiosity he manifests to the
people.
 Islamic Law (shari’a ) “the road to the watering place “ is based upon Quranic
verses as revealed by God to Muhammad.
The universal laws passed down by God govern both the affairs of humans
and the laws of nature.
 Apart from the Quran, the teachings of Muhammad or the hadiths form
the basis of the Islamic legal system.
 The shari’a is a path of conduct that must be followed by all Muslims.
 Islamic jurisprudence or the science of Islamic law called fiqh. All aspects of the
Muslim way of life and actions are covered through fiqh.
Human behavior may be classified into five categories:
 Forbidden (haram), Discouraged (makruh) Neutral (mubah)
Recommended (mandub), and Obligatory (fard).

Day 4.

I. Mini-Lesson

Similar to most major religions, Islam also has sects, which vary primarily as to how
the sects interpret some aspects of the Islamic faith and the Qu’ran

A. Islamic Sects
1. Sunni Muslims (The Sunnis)
 The majority of the Muslims, around 87% to 90% of the entirety of Islam
belong to the Sunni denomination. The Sunnis (“Followers of the Smooth
Path”) are traditionalists and are considered the orthodox of Islam as they
endeavor to follow the original religion established by Muhammad and
guided by the first four caliphs.
 The Sunnis believed that any Muslim can be a ruler and he does not need
to prove his lineage to Muhammad as long as he gets the approval and
confidence of the ummah or community. He can be an elected ruler or a
hereditary monarch that should enjoy the support of the ummah.
 All Sunnis shall abide by his actions unquestioningly regardless of whether
he is a fair or cruel ruler.
 The Sunnis accepted the legitimacy of the first four successors of
Muhammad.
2. Shi’a (The Shi’ites)
 The Shi’a (sometimes written in Shi’ite)
 The Shi’ites Muslims are the largest faction within the Islam religion that
separated from the rest of the community. Historically speaking, three close
associates of Muhammad became successive leaders of the caliphs of
Islam with the death of the founder in 632 C.E.
 The caliphate acted as a central unifying agency in Islamic history. Initially,
caliphs were friends of Muhamad that acted as virtuous leaders of the
believers.
 They may be chosen by election or general consent.
 Muslims believed that Muhammad should have been immediately
succeeded by his direct relative, Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was his cousin. Ali
was also Muhammad’s son-in-law who married his daughter FATIMA.
3. Sufi
 Muslims whose concern mainly dwells for a mystical union with God are
collectively called Sufis. Their name originated from the word suf that
means “woolen” since they wore coarse wool garments or robes to
symbolize poverty and renunciation of worldly pleasures
 Sufi can be a Sunni Muslim or Shi’ite Muslim. The Sufi movement may
have started around the ninth century C.E at the time when there came a
clarion call to live a simpler and austere life far from the splendor and
grandeur that characterized the Abbasid Dynasty.
 Around the 23 century, monastic orders were established within the Sufi
movement that focused around a saint.
 A convert who joins the order was called fakir (“ a poor man”) or dervish ((“one who
comes to the door “)
 Most Sufi practitioners practice discipline, poverty, abstinence, and celibacy in some
instances. They insist that it is possible to have a union with God through mystical
experience.

B. SELECTED ISSUES
Islam has gone through two principal periods of growth in its relatively young
history: first, at the onset of, its founding, and second, during the twentieth century.
As one of the fastest-growing religions in the world, Islam has affected every facet
of human society.
1. Islam and Women
 The role of women in Muslim societies is a complicated subject since their rights
vary greatly throughout Islamic nations. While they may experience harsh
restrictions in terms of legal rights and employment opportunities, women rulers
have emerged in the twentieth century to lead Asian countries such as
Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey.
 Women in Islam must accept that their roles in society vary greatly when
compared to men. Foremost, they must remain obedient to their fathers and
husband.
 A surah in the Quran depicts a woman’s father or husband as master and
portrays the superiority of men on women.
 All Muslims are required to observe the five pillars of Muslim. However,
congregational prayers tend to be dominated by men while this activity remains
optional for women. It is prohibited for any woman to lead prayers. When a
woman having her usual menstrual period, she must not enter any mosque.
2. The Holy War (Jihad)
 Jihad means “struggle” and this struggle refers to darkness and sin such as
greed, violence, and hatred.
 A frequently mistranslated term, jihad means “effort “or “struggle” to
convince unbelievers to pursue the Muslim way of life. Strictly speaking, it
could mean a Muslim going to war to wipe out the infidels in the name of
Allah.
 However, the method of a jihadist can be a peaceful one, such as living a
pious life or observing the required obligations to his faith.

3. Militancy and Terrorism

 Islam is a religion of mercy that prohibits terrorism. During Muhammad's
time, he proscribed his soldiers to kill women and children and even listed
murder as the second of the major sins. Punishment through the use of fire
was also forbidden by Muhammad.
 Since Islam is a religion of peace and mercy, terrorism in all its forms is
abhorred by Muslims. Destruction of human lives, its fractures, shrines, and
other properties are despicable in the light of various Islamic texts.
 Muslims who promote terrorism and mass slaughter of innocent and
helpless civilians do not embody Islamic ideals.
 The presence of violence in an Islamic society cannot be attributed to the
teachings of Islam but the failings of human adherents of the religion. A
person committing an act of terrorism is guilty of violating Islamic laws for
that matter.
