1) I chose the Islam worldview

i)The Question of Origin-- Islams believe that man came into being through a long process of evolution. They believe the evolutionary process which produced man in its form today took millions of years, and man evolved from lower forms of animal life. In their belief,it was only small types of animals in the beginning, and in the course of time animals got larger and eventually one of these animals developed into man. This animal is believed to have become extinct, but is believed to have been represented by the monkey. The basis of argument is certain kind of monkeys have a strong resemblance to man.

ii)The Question of Identity—Islamic identity is an upmost possession. It is your faith, religion, moral values, and your whole life. This identity is the one that makes you wake up before sunrise to pray to Allah. This identity makes you kind, sincere, responsible, and thoughtful when you deal with people. It also forbids you to steal, gamble, participate or engage in implicit behavior. This identity makes you realize and understand that Islam is a way of life in other words this identity makes you a good human being.

iii)The Question of Meaning/Purpose--Allah states in the Quran, that he created man to be his Khalefah (confident ,attractive handsome, man),and to regulate humans; the Quaran is the constitution revealed by Allah, the name of Islam’s God. Very simple, the purpose for man’s creation is to worship the creator, Quaran 51:56-58.Allah states that he made this life in order to test man so that every person may be recompensed after death for what he has earned.

iiii)The Question of Morality-A person becomes a Muslim by believing there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and saying the Shahadah (Declaration of Faith)with sincere conviction. Muslims are believers of the Islam worldview. They believe this present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of

    According to Malcolm Clark, “Muslims today who want to establish a Muslim state often look to the first Islamic states for models to emulate and for inspiration” (Clark 15). Therefore, to develop an understanding of the Muslim culture, we must review the birth and expansion of Islam. Islam began when the angel Gabriel appeared before Muhammad, telling him that God had declared him as “His last prophet” (Clark 9). This happened in 610 A.D. in Mecca, presently known as Saudi Arabia. Over the course of twenty years, Muhammad spread word of God’s messages, which later became the Qur’an.…

    Identity is one aspect of a human that makes one different from everyone else. This is the essential core of all humans. Each person is born in his own country and with his own unique and personal identity. However, as each one grows, his or her identity is consistently changing. What would happen if these factors created no distinction between one another? Would there be a clear contrast between people, or would everyone just be identical? It is evident that if there was no personal identity, then everyone would be the same and there would be no contrast or distinction between people. In Leila Ahmed’s “On becoming an Arab,” Jean Twenge’s “An Army of One: Me,” and Andrew Bacevich’s “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday,” each author discusses aspects of one’s identity.

    Cambridge defines identity as, ““the qualities of a person or group that make them different from others.” However, I believe that the word identity is quite abstract because it can not only mean different things to different people, but can also be expressed in different ways. A cultural aspect that has shaped, formed and influenced my identity is my religion. From birth, I have been brought up as a Catholic and this has played a large role in both my life and forming my identity. This influence can be seen through my personal experiences, values, morals and the ways in which I interact with the others around me.…

A person’s identity can be affected by many things: where he/she was born, the person’s parents, friends and other things. Through my life experiences I have become creative, spirited, and inquisitive.…

    Identity cannot be formed and defined in one category; it is defined in many ways. Our Identity is formed by our race, culture, language, belief and environment. Sarah Morris described,” Every thing around what and us shapes who we became we believe about other and ourselves.” (1) In the book Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria? (2) Shows that identity is formed by the following category: objects possessions, creations, interests, friends, family, work hobbies, practices, habits, choices, values, beliefs, appearance and ethnicity. I agree that identity is formed in the entire category list above together to shape up who we are.
