Islam places the highest emphasis on ethical values in all aspects of human life. If all of us keep adhere to Islamic teachings then all of our problems will solve automatically.

Type of Religious  Monotheistic Religious Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three major monotheistic religions, all originated in what is known today as the Arab World. Monotheism literally means "the belief in only one God". The central values of family, charity, and respect for others are shared by these three religions. 1.

Judaism

Judaism is the original of the three Abraham faiths, which also includes Christianity and Islam. According to information published by The Jewish People Policy Planning Institute, there were around 13.1 million Jewish people in the world in 2007, most residing in the USA and Israel. According to the 2001 census 267,000 people in the UK said that their religious identity was Jewish, about 0.5% of the population. 

Judaism originated in the Middle East over 3500 years ago



Judaism was founded by Moses, although Jews trace their history back to Abraham.



Jews believe that there is only one God with whom they have a covenant.



In exchange for all the good that God has done for the Jewish people, Jewish people keep God’s laws and try to bring holiness into every aspect of their lives.



Judaism has a rich history of religious text, but the central and most important religious document is the Torah.



Jewish traditional or oral law, the interpretation of the laws of the Torah, is called halakhah.



Spiritual leaders are called Rabbis.



Jews worship in Synagogues.



6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust in an attempt to wipe out Judaism. There are many people who identify themselves as Jewish without necessarily believing in, or observing, any Jewish law. 2.

Christianity Belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. The death, descent into hell, resurrection and ascension of Christ. The holiness of the Church and the communion of saints. Christ's second coming, the Day of Judgment and salvation of the faithful. God the Father is a title given to God in various religions, most prominently in Christianity. In mainstream Trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the first person of the Trinity followed by the second person God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the third person God the Holy Spirit.

A sacred language is the particular language of a body of revelation. The Christian scripture is written in multiple languages and is not preferred in any one language, so Christianity does not have a sacred language in the same way that Hebrew is sacred to Judaism or Arabic to Islam.

3. Islamic Islam (Arabic: ‫اإلسالم‬, Al-Islam (Submission) is a monotheistic religion that was founded in the 7th century CE by Muhammad. All of its teachings and beliefs are written out in the Quran (also spelled Qur'an or Koran), the holy scripture of Islam. According to tradition, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca around the year 570. His family belonged to the Quraysh. When he was about forty years old he began receiving what Muslims regard as divine revelations delivered through the angel Gabriel, which would later form the Quran.

 Polytheistic religious Today, polytheism is noted for being part of Hinduism, Mahayana Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, as well as contemporary tribal religions in Africa and the Americas These days, you're more likely to be part of a monotheistic religion (like Christianity, Judaism, or Islam), but there are many polytheistic faiths too — religions that worship a group of gods, often called a pantheon. Hinduism is polytheistic, and so were ancient Greek and Scandinavian religions.

 Atheist Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities Diagoras of Melos (5th century BC): Ancient Greek poet and sophist known as the Atheist of Milos, who declared that there were no Gods. Denis Diderot (1713–84)

Source of Knowledge in Islam

 Quran Muslims believe the Quran to be the book of divine guidance revealed from God to Muhammad S.A.W through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years and view as God's final revelation to humanity. As the Quran says, "With the truth we (God) have sent it down and with the truth it has come down."

Unit of Quran A Surah is the term for a chapter of the Quran. There are 114 surahs In the Quran, each divided into verses. Except for surah At-Tawba, all chapters or suras commence with 'In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate'.



Sunnah The Sunnah is also defined as "a path, a way, a manner of life"; "all the traditions and practices" of the Islamic prophet that "have become models to be followed" by Muslims. In the pre-Islamic period, the word surrah was used with the meaning "manner of acting", whether good or bad. Action + saying compited = Sunnah

 Consensus In Islamic jurisprudence, qiyas (Arabic: ‫ )قياس‬is the process of deductive analogy in which the teachings of the Hadith are compared and contrasted with those of the Qur'an, in order to apply a known injunction to a new circumstance and create a new injunction. Physical or mental effort, expended in a particular activity) is an Islam legal term referring to independent reasoning or the thorough exertion of a jurist's mental faculty in finding a

solution to a legal question. ... An Islamic scholar who is qualified to perform ijtihad is called a mujtahid

2. Knowledge for knowledge Those knowledge in which we work for the mentally satisfaction not for the money called knowledge for knowledge

3. Knowledge for Allah Historically, Sufis have often belonged to different ṭuruq or "orders" congregations formed around a grand master referred to as a wali who traces a direct chain of successive teachers back to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.These orders meet for spiritual sessions (majalis) in meeting places known as zawiyas, khanqahs. They strive for ihsan (perfection of worship), as detailed in a hadith: "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him; if you can't see Him, surely He sees you.Sufis regard Muhammad as al-Insān al-Kāmil, the primary perfect man who exemplifies the morality of God, and see him as their leader and prime spiritual guide.

Knowledge Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject

State of knowledge  Storage In which we have to store the data is the process of storing and recalling information that was previously acquired. Memory occurs through three fundamental stages: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Storing refers to the process of placing newly acquired information into memory, which is modified in the brain for easier storage. Encoding this information makes the process of retrieval easier for the brain where it can be recalled and brought into conscious thinking.

 Memory Memory is the faculty of the brain by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed.

 Practice Knowledge is constructive for a person whose intention is none other than to approach Allah. At this point, it is worth mentioning the advice of the late Ayatollah Behjat which he would give to his students: “Whoever acts on what he knows, Allah will teach him what he does not know.” In other words, the process of acquiring knowledge continues on its own when synchronized with practice.
