MATERI 1 : AN APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF RELIGION
There is a
crucial question about the study of religion. The question is: Is it possible
to study religion scientifically? Religion is a social phenomenon as are
politics, economics,psychology,anthropology
and the like. These social sciences can be studied scientifically, so can
religion. Religion is a universal phenomenon and is the most important
ingredient in the study of human life
There are
a number of disciplines which will help in understanding religion. The first is
the history of religion looking at religion behavior historically. The second
is the psychology of religion ; understanding the mental process and feeling of
religious people, and the last is the sociology of religion; trying to understand
how the religious groups organized themselves, law and the state.

MATERI 2 : THE BEGINNING OF THE REVELATION
Before
becoming a prophet, Muhammad usually spent one
month every year in a cave on the top of a mountain near Mecca. There
he meditated and thought about religion of Abraham. This was done by him
because he refused to accept the beliefs of the people of mecca who worshipped
idols. This continued for a number of years. When he was forty years of age the
Archangel Gabriel came to him and convinced him.
It was
clear that he was a prophet from God. He received the first revelation after
becoming a prophet . The first revelation said :
“ Read in
the name of Lord who created. Created man from a blood clot. Read, the Lord is
most beneficial. He taught by pen. Taught man what he knew not.”
When the
prophet received this revelation from God and when he became sure, then he
began to call people to accept the new religion. The new religion was based on
the oneness of God- worshipping only Allah and giving up the worship of idols.

MATERI 3 : DAWN OF ISLAM
The
prophet Muhammad had been spreading the religion of Islam quietly for three
years when Allah commanded him to declare it to the people publicly. Allah also
instructed him to start with his own household-those within his own family.
Muhammad
understood his orders and went into retirement in his house for a few days. He
thought very hard about what he had to do , trying to draw up a plan for the
best way to approach his people and call upon them to accept the religion of
Islam
The news
reached some of his aunts or relatives. They become worried that he might not
be well. They decided to go and pay him a visit. When they got to his house
they asked him about his health and told him how worried they had been about
him.
Muhammad answered,
“There is nothing the matter with me. Allah has ordered me to introduce Islam
to my family and household. So, I have to sit down and think about the best way
to do this. I had to collect any thoughts and ideas before I could speak to any
of you.

MATERI 4 : DAWN OF ISLAM (2)
In the
beginning of Islam, Muhammad, the messenger, delivered his message to his
family as well as to the Quraysh people. With much struggled Muhammad
managed to collect a few followers .
Muhammad talked to people and advised them not to worship the idols which were
made of stone and which could neither do them any good not bring them any harm.
He called them instead to follow the religion of Abraham; to believe in one
God, Allah, and worship only Him.
But non-believers
went on believing in the idols and refused to accept Islam. They were afraid that Islam would bring them lots of
enemies and make the rest of the Arabs hate them and boycott their trade. If
that happened, they would be in great trouble. Therefore, they decided to do
something to Muhammad and his followers. They agreed to send a delegation of
Abu Talib and asked him to settle this mates once and for all.

MATERI 6 : PRAYER DURING TRAVEL
The five
–daily prayer in Islam should be offered at a certain time when a Muslim is at
home or is not travelling. However, sometimes it is necessary to travel from
place to place or from one country to another. During the travel perhaps there
are no facilities for preparing oneself for prayer or the timing of the travel interfere
with the proper performance of prayer.
If there
is no fear during the travel, there is no need to shorten the prayer; and this
was commented upon by Omar, the second Caliph ,who was asked why the God gave us permission to
shorten and join together prayer. Omar replier that he too had wondered the
same thing and said:”Then I mentioned this to the prophet (peace be upon
him |), his answer was that this must be
considered as one of the mercies of God: we have to accept it .”

MATERI 7 : FASTING IN ISLAM
Fasting
during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. This is because the prophet
(peace be upon him ) said Islam is upheld by five pillars: first, to bear witness
that there is no other God but Allah and that
Muhammad is his messenger. The second is to pray regularly. Third, to pay zakat
to the poor. Fourth, to fast during the month of Ramadan. Fifth ,to visit the
house of Got in Macca once in a lifetime, for those who are able to make the
journey.
Fasting
can be defined as abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking and having sexual
intercourse from dawn to sunset. Fasting for the month of Ramadan was
prescribed during the second year of the Hijra. Fasting was an ancient form of worship prescribed by
God from the beginning of time. The aim of ordering people to fast is that they
should learn how to be patient, to have good morals, to purify their hearts, to ennoble their character and to be gentle in dealing
with people. One should feel the sufferings of hunger and thirst in order to be
quick to help those who are suffering when seeing them. One must always learn
to fear of God and His mercy.

Zakat means purification, blessing and increasing, It is a kind of
protection of the wealth of those who are rich . When a Muslim pays his zakat he is protecting his money
unexpected disaster , for the prophet said, “ Protect your property by giving
zakat and help your relatives to recover from their illness by giving
charity.”Zakat is an obligatory payment, like a tax, and the English
translation is poor dues. It could be
called a devine tax, for it has been
prescribed by God in the Holly Qur’an says in many places, “keep up regular
prayer and give zakat “ and one of the saying of the prophet when Muaz was sent to Yemen was,” You
will come to folk who are people of the book, so invite them to testify that
there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is God “s messenger. If they obey
that, tell them that God has made it to
obligatory for them to pray five times every twenty four hours.If they obey
that, tell them that God has made it obligatory for them for sadaqa to be taken
from the rich and handed over to the poor. If they obey that ,do not take the
best part of their property and have regard to the claim of him who is wronged, for there is no veil
between it and God.

performed in the month of Zulhijja.
There is
another kind of visit to Mecca called ‘ Umra. It is also compulsory once

time to perform ‘Umro is during the month of Ramadan, for the prophet said :
“Umra during the month of Ramadan ,is equal to Hajj.” The reward of Hajj and
‘Umra is great reward in the sight of God.

MATERI 12 : EQUALITY IN ISLAM
Islam
considers all human beings as equal. There is no difference between them
because of their race, colour or tongue. All of them belong to one family and
come from one origin.
This was
not the case before Islam came to the Arabian peninsula. Before Islam , each
tribe considered its members to be superior to those of other tribes, and this
made life very difficult between them. They could not deal with each other properly, and they
led a difficult life; there was severe fighting almost continuously between the
tribes of Arabia because of their
attitude towards one other . Might was right, so the weak had practically no
rights.
