Moral Teachings of Islam Not as Seen by Al Qaeda or Other Groups

摘要

Some individuals throughout the world have not heard of Islam. Others have heard of the word Islam, but know nothing about what are stands for. Some know only a little about the religion of Islam, some have received distorted ideas about Islam. They evaluate this religion by considering the actions of extremists who do not know the real Islam or its moral teachings. To all these individuals and to those interested in knowing more about the religion of Islam (Moral Teaching of Islam), it is hoped that this paper will be help. This paper is written to assist and guide the people who do not understand the Islam to find many answers to their questions concerning Islam, and how does Islam view terrorism. The first section discusses the background of Islam, and explains the origin of this religion, the Holy book, Prophet Muhammad, the five pillars as frameworks of the Muslim life, and the effect of that on our individual and social lines, and the spread of Islam (Jihad) by teaching and preaching. The second section will illustrate the major sects of Islam, and what does Islam say about civilization, peace, terrorism, and human rights, including the Islamic groupings in some Islamic states, and in last part of this section, I provide general information about moral teachings of Islam. The third section concludes with a summary of my paper's findings. Overall I will support my paper with some sayings from the holy book (Qur'an) and Prophet Mohammad sayings. I hope that this humble effort has answered some of the important question in the reader's mind and helped him or her to see the truth about Islam from objective perspective.
