 | | Islamic history begins in Arabia in the 7th century with the emergence of the prophet Muhammad. | | | The Qur'an is the foremost source of Islamic jurisprudence; the second is the Sunnah (the practices of the Prophet, as narrated in reports of his life). | | | The basis of Islamic belief is found in the shahādatān ("two testimonies"): lā ilāhā illā-llāhu; muhammadur-rasūlu-llāhi — "There is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God." In order to become a Muslim, one needs to recite and believe in these statements. |

| | Islamic History and Culture - Islamic Influence on European Renaissance - Islamic Impact on Philosophy |
| | This school of Islamic philosophy is itself a synthesis of the teachings of Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus in the context of the Islamic world view. | | | The mere fact that Islamic philosophy was able to operate in such a fundamentalist environment greatly effected the Renaissance for it served as an example the thinkers of that time - how to present new, radical ideas without angering religious fundamentalists, who were the church at that time. | | | As a result, Islamic philosophy is a "prophetic philosophy" - it is in conformity with the Islamic perspective that intellect is a supernatural human quality that, if used correctly, leads to the same truths as revealed through prophecy (i.e. |

| | That is, this style of art called Islamic, was produced in many different geographic regions whose diverse cultures were unified through the religion of Islam. | | | The Islamic religion still forbids the representation of figures and so, naturally, to call any art which contains figural representation "Islamic", is erroneous and offensive to Moslems (believers). | | | The Islamic Hadith or Traditions forbade the use of animal or human figures from religious art. |
