ALLAH  is  an  Arabic  word  meaning  GOD.  The  core  concept  in  ISLAM  is  Tauhid,  meaning:  “there  is  only  one  God”.  The  term  ALLAH  is  also  used  by  Arab  speakers  of  Abrahamic  faiths,  including,  Christians  and  Jews.  Islam  teaches  that  Allah  is  the  same  God  worshipped  by  all  Abrahamic  religions  including  Christianity  and  Judaism.

Islam  &  Science

During  Islamic  Renaissance  (The  Golden  Age  of  Islam  –  8th-­‐13th  centuries),  Islam  civilizations  produced  a  lot  of  artists,  scholars,  engineers,  philosophers,  geographers,  and  traders  who  made  significant  contributions  to  all  fields  of  human  knowledge.  ▪ Algebra,  geometry,  algorithms,  alchemy,  scientific  method,  astronomy,  optics,  medicine,  etc.

Islam  &  Women

In  Islam  men  and  women  are  equal  before  God.  Islam  introduced  the  idea  of  marriage  as  a  contract,  giving  women  inheritance  rights.  Women  started  to  be  involved  in  education  since  the  introduction  of  Islam.    The  founder  of  the  world’s  oldest  extant  university  (Al-­‐Karaouine,  Morocco),  built  in  the  9th  century,  was  a  Muslim  woman  Fatima  Al-­‐Fihri. 16

What  is  JIHAD?

It  is  an  Arabic  word,  which  means  “struggle”  to  improve  oneself  and/or  society.  The  greater  Jihad  is  not  the  physical  struggle,  but  the  inner  struggle  within  one’s  soul  to  be  a  better  person  .  Jihad  does  NOT  mean  “holy  war”.  The  Arabic  word  for  war  is  “kital”  or  “harb”.
