    Orthopraxy in Islam

    • 1142 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Islamic life is centered on the physical practice of prayer (salat). With that the religion of Islam itself is based in the methodical movement through which Muslims show their devotion to Allah. The prayer begins with the devotee standing, bending slowly into a sitting position and ending in full prostration. Bowing fully onto the ground is a practice that shows humility and represents the true devotion of members. Practice-centered religion differentiates itself from "orthodox" religion in that it focuses primarily on ritual practice, rather than theology or doctrine, orthodox meaning "correct opinion". The most visible orthodox religion of America is Christianity. Christianity centers life around the opinions of the church with less emphasis on purity and behavior. Islamic life is distinctly based on what can be defined as "orthopraxy" or the importance of religious practice. The orthopraxy of Islam can be seen in at least three of the Five Pillars of Islam, salat, Ramadan and the hajj, which are also representative of Muslim faith and duties.…

    When reading the 1,001 Arabian Nights one is confronted with a number of issues including murderous sexism, the affects of a psychotic ruler on a kingdom as well as a healthy reaffirmation of the old-fashioned revenge ethic. These, however, are topics reserved for more stoic authors. For this discourse we will instead focus our attention on the strange creatures known variously through the text as demons, genii, and djinn. These creatures appear in multitude throughout the text and reveal a diverse and confounding disposition. When viewed from a Christian point of view these ungodly creations appear to be both angel and demon, both benign and malignant in nature and are easily misunderstood in a modern American society. This dichotomy brings to mind the story of Lucifer, the Fallen Angel and begs the question: are these djinn merely an islamic version of the Angels and devils? Given their lack of respect and gratitude granted them they seem considerably less divine, so perhaps they are something else entirely.…
