(Deutsch) Fatwa über die Bedeutung des gemeinsamen Gebets von Muslimen
(Deutsch) (Institut für Islamfragen, 09.12.2004, dh) Saudische Rechtsgelehrte (arab. „’Ulama’ al-Balad al-Haram“) haben eine Fatwa (Rechtsgutachten) über die Bedeutung des gemeinsamen Gebetes der Muslime herausgegeben. Diese Fatwa verweist auf Sure 2,43. Dort heißt es, ein Muslim müsse mit anderen Muslimen zusammen beten.
What does “Islam” mean?
The word “Islam” means “commitment” or “surrender” to God and his will, revealed, according to Muslim thought, in the Koran. A Muslim has “surrendered” to God, is to show him gratitude, and carry out the commands contained in the Koran, as well as Muslim tradition.
(Deutsch) Antischiitische Seite im Internet eröffnet
(Deutsch) (Institut für Islamfragen, 24.09.2004, dh) Vor wenigen Tagen wurde eine anti-schiitische Seite im Internet eröffnet, die heftige Kritik an der schiitischen Glaubensrichtung äußert. Der Haupttitel der Seite lautet:
What is the Significance of Islamic Tradition?
Islamic tradition (Arabic: hadith – transmission, tradition, report) is substantially more extensive than the Koran. It is concerned with reports about Mohammed compiled by Muslim theologians in several collections as late as approximately two centuries after his death. These hadithe provide information about how Mohammed (and the first “companions of the Prophet”) lived and which views they held in regard to particular questions. But, the tradition also includes detailed instructions on the necessary ablutions before ritual prayer, explanations of the order of prayer (also in the mosque), regulations for the fast during Ramadan or the pilgrimage to Mecca, clothing regulations for men and women, rites pertaining to Muslim burial, as well as dietary commandments (prohibition of alcohol and pork). In addition, the traditional texts also treat questions of Islamic law, above all of marital and family law, but also of criminal and inheritance law and of the law of testimony.
