Introduction To Traditional Islam – Illustrated Foundations Art and Spirituality

INTRODUCTION TO TRADITIONAL ISLAM

To think that we can understand Islam through current headlines and the conflicting opinions of political pundits is a sheer illusion.

 We might do better to review some bare facts: Islam is a monotheistic religion whose followers believe that it was revealed through the archangel Gabriel in stages to the Prophet Muhammad throughout several years, starting in 610 AD and lasting until his death in 632.

The holy book of Islam, the Koran, is a transcription in Arabic of these revelations.

The Koran is the basis of Islamic law, belief, and practice, and is supplemented by the accounts of Muhammad’s sayings and actions, and by the interpretations of religious scholars.

Our review of facts tells us that Islam rapidly expanded through conquest and trade and that a highly developed civilization emerged which has remained a source of culture and pride to Muslims for well over a thousand years.

 To this day, over 1.5 billion Muslims (about a quarter of the world’s population) share a strong sense of community and identity even though Islam—the majority religion in countries stretching from West Africa to Indonesia—spans many diverse peoples and lands.

Most Muslims are not even Arabs, yet they all turn towards Mecca in prayer and recite the same holy words in Arabic.

These bare facts are more helpful in understanding Islam than the acts and words of misguided fanatics; yet even more helpful would be a well-qualified personal guide to introduce us to a multitude of ways through which we can approach the inner life of this faith.
