| | Muslims reject the Christian doctrines that Jesus was God and that God is in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit); they believe that Jesus was a prophet and that God is one... | | | This textbook is compiled for the purpose of introducing the students of the Islamic seminaries in Qom to the rudiments of Islamic philosophy. | | | The fundamental quest of Islamic philosophy is therefore to understand the nature of Allah, our own relation to Allah, and in general how the nature of all beings relate to the Being which is named Allah. |

| | Islam and Muslims Contemporary Issues - Islamic Law - Shari'a and Encountering Islamic Law |
| | Islamic law was developed from the systematic application of the principles of the Qur'an and the sunna by leaders of the Islamic communities which were established in the first two centuries after the hijra [622 CE]. | | | For Islamic jurists, whether Islamist or not, this poses a serious dilemma as to how to deal with the secular state structure (and ideology) that was built during the post-colonial period. | | | The murder of Husayn at the Battle of Karbala (682 CE) sealed this division, the term Shi'a derives from shi'at Ali, the partisans of Ali. |
