The Civilization of Islam

[yoyosmartguy]

Was the civilization of Islam strongn in some areas and weak in
others? If yes then in which areas was it weak in?

[mary]

no my opinion says that it wasnot weak at all yet it was not throughly
strong in some

[farheen.fmcr]

i dont think weak would be the correct word to describe the
civilization,it was progressing as each day had passed, in
mathematics,astronomy,mechanical etc they were improving and were
making more discoveries.they were good traders and good fighters with
keen thinkin skills.it was slowly advancing hence.

[Yahya Shakeel]

What i mean is that was it weak in the areas as siege, armed battle or crops

[farheen zaidi]

they were good fighters and good farmers as well.They were slowly progressing as i had said earlier,:p they weren't weak in anything.They were quite talented,some of them might be slow in battle or maybe even in the knowledge category but they had adapted well from the areas they had captured and settled  in.they were pretty good in farming as well.becuz of them we are who we are.  

[Ryyan]

They did that so that the arabs could also study and read transcripts and other manuscripts and understand+work on them which were written by people and scholars all around the world.they weren't only translated in arabic they were translated into million other languages and because of that other people could discover and invent stuff as well.every philosophers ideas were shared by billion others and because of that process we are where we are right now. :-)!

Rack your brains on this one:
When did the whole concept of different sects (u know, sunni-shia
sects) in the Islamic Civilization form? Why? Where? How? Anything you
know about the origins of these groups.

[farheen zaidi]

First of all thanks ryyan, second ,nimzoid i think that is a very good question.i believe that the whole sunni, shia concept had started after the death of our holy prophet[PBUH] .Some of the caliphs of arabia particularly in mukkah had bitterly opposed the fact that some of the people had put up an argument stating that huzrat ali[ A.S]should be the next caliph after our prophet because he had specially said that after me ali will lead the muslims, some of his followers were angry and bitter so they turned against huzrat ali and didn't care about his family and descendants.after the hatred and bitterness some of them burried the hatchet and followed what they believed in.That is why some of them separated into sunnis and shias and lived their lives.Some of them can't leave the past behind and bitterly oppose each other till this day"proof" the bomb blasts in imam barghas etc.

[Ryyan shahid]

nimzoid that was a good question and farheen your answer seems to be right as usual

now answer mine, think first and then answer

when prophet(PBUH) went to SIDRAT-UL-MUBTEHA,what did he saw and what gift did he brought for muslims???   

 

[Ryyan shahid]

****MUNTEHA

(spelling mistake)

 

[farheen zaidi]

Frankly ryyan you have me stumpt on this one i don't even know what sidrat ul munteha is i think it is a very good question though, so do tell the answer.

[Nimzoid]

Yeah, im not familiar with sidrat-ul-munteha either. Could you tell us
what it is?? =) And thanks to both of u for commenting on my question

Speaking of whcih: What do u mean by: some of his followers were angry

and bitter so they turned against
huzrat ali and didn't care about his family and descendants.

Did they want HAzrat Ali to be the caplih and were upset he didnt
become the first one?
>From where i picked this thing up: The concept started during Hazrat
USman's ca\liphate, As we all know during his time, the muslim state
was extemely powerful speading till Kabul. A lot of peoples had
accepted islam, but there were tons who had not embarced the true
meaning of islam...they're the hypcrites. One such hyprocrite by the
anme of Abdullah bin Safa was a jew who turned into msulim, but was
actrually plottign the decline of islam.By spreading the idea of
Hazrat Ali being the true caplih...he was expleeed from medinah ..to
kufa...to damascus and eventually egypt cuz HAzrat usamn was too kind-
hearted to simply execute him for his ideas. Sadly, this was the worst
mistake he made, becuase Abdullah binm safa had now gained a lot of
supporters and the divded between the muslims had begun.
So, hope this clears up eveything.

thankyou guys

the ans to this is that the prophet hazrat muhammed (PBUH) went to sidrat-ul-munteha with hazrat jibraeel,he saw the seven skies and he also saw the angels who were worshipping allah.the gift which he brought for muslims was the five prayers instead of fifty prayers.

 

[farheen zaidi]

awww that is sweet :-)

i guess maybe to understand better

[Ryyan shahid]

what do you need to understand

[Nimzoid]

Oh yes, i remember now. On the occasion of Maihraj, when the Prophet
ascended. Yeah that was a very cool question=)

[Ryyan shahid]

thanks

[Nimzoid]

The prohpet saw a whole lotta other things as well... He saw heaven
and hell and the previous prophets too. So i guess by witnessing the
pleasures of heaven and the fire of hell by his own eyes....this
brought a whole new perception to his preachings. Perhaps thats what
warisha meant by understanding better.

[Shayan Shaoib]

wat r u talking about

[Nimzoid]

Erm...ohkay. Lets make it more clear.
When the Prophet ascended the seven heavens and all. He saw a lot of
things during the acension. On his way, he saw the prohphets preceding
him (so that helps him understand the lineage of the prophets).
According to other traditions, he was shown Hell and Heaven and what
would happen to those who go there. in other words, he saw with his
own eyes these acts. This brought the different pereption to
preachings. He could now preach people what exactly the fires of hell
were, etc etc.
