50 QUESTIONS OF INTEREST ABOUT ISLAM

Question 1: Name the religion which wants its followers to believe in only One God for whom the word in Arabic is Allah, and the word in English is God?

Answer: Islam is that religion.

Question 2: Name the religion that believes in all the prophets and also believes in the Prophet Muhammad as the Last Prophet?

Answer: Islam is the only religion that believes all that is said above.

Question 3: What religion believes that Jesus is a prophet?

Answer: Islam is that religion.

Question 4: What are the followers of Islam called?

Answer: Muslim.

Question 5: Why cannot a Muslim call himself a Muhammadan?

Answer: Because, as you know, the Christians worship Jesus Christ or through him, therefore they are called Christians. A Muslim does not worship Muhammad. So he must not be called a Muhammadan, because it gives a wrong impression.

Question 6: A little child asks this question with reference to the above Answer 5 (the child is a little girl who ask, "But what if my teacher calls me a Muhammadan and I am too shy to correct her?").

Answer: Little girl! If you let anyone call you a Muhammadan you are doing a lot of harm to all Muslims everywhere. Never be too shy to stand up for Islam, if there is any likelihood of Islam being misunderstood. As for your teacher, she will admire you if you put your hand up and politely give the reason why you must not be called a Muhammadan.

Question 7: Who gave the name of Islam to our religion?

Answer: Allah gave the name of Islam to this religion which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. A statement about this is in the Holy Quran (our Holy Book).

Question 8: Does a Muslim need anyone to wash away his or her sins or did anyone die on a cross to save us?

Answer: No, definitely no. A Muslim must wash away his own sins with prayers to Allah, if he is truly sorry. We Muslims believe that no man must die for us to wash away our sins, and that Allah could never want anyone to die for our sins.


Question 9: Does a Muslim, need a priest to confess to? Does he make confession in a confession box?

Answer: Islam is against such things, and there are no confession boxes. A Muslim prays straight to Allah himself.

Question 10: What is the meaning of the word Islam?

Answer: The word Islam means submission or to submit to Allah.

Question 11: In Islam we have five important things to believe in. These important things we call pillars. You can guess why they are called pillars because they hold Islam up. Islam rest on them. Please name these five pillars?

Answer: (1) Faith in Allah and the Divine Messenger ship of Muhammad. (2) Prayer. (3) Fasting during the month of fasting, called Ramadan. (4) The Zakat (this is a kind of poor-rate and also a rate for the community’s benefit and a charity to help any good cause. This is a 2 1/2 per cent tax on one's yearly earnings, or more if possible). (5) The Hajj, or the pilgrimage to Mecca at a certain time of the year. For this pilgrimage you have to be in Mecca before 7th day of the 12th month of the Muslim year and stay there until the 11th day of the same month. A visit to the Kabah at Mecca at any other time is called 'Umrah', which means 'the minor pilgrimage'.

Question 12: What dose Islam think of labour, or in other words, work?

Answer: Every kind of labour which enables a man to live honestly is respected by Islam.

Question 13: I have my Holy Quran to believe in and follow. But how must I think about the other holy books?

Answer: We must respect all holy books because all holy books were brought by a prophet and from Allah. But it is sad to say these holy books have not remained intact.

Question 14: Why did we need the Last Prophet, the Prophet Muhammad, and the last Holy Book, the Holy Quran?

Answer: We needed a last prophet, which is Muhammad, because the Divine message many other prophets brought has been altered and misunderstood. We needed a last book because this, the Quran, is the only book that has not been altered and will not and cannot be altered, as millions of Muslims know it by heart, whereas other holy books have been altered. If all copies of the Quran (which Allah forbid!) were burnt, the very next moment the Quran would spring to live again from the million who know it by heart. So you can see, there is no chance of this book, the Quran, being lost or altered.

Question 15: We have spoken a lot about Allah, but who is he?

Answer: He is the maker of everything. He made the worlds and all things in them. He tells us is the Holy Quran (which wan revealed 1,400 years ago) about the worlds, not only this world. He is the maker of everything. He is the spirit that watches over us and guides us. He has no family, sons or daughters. He is one, and only one, not three in one. He sees everything. He knows everything, forgives everything if one is truly repentant. He punishes those who do not repent or try to be good.

Question 16: If someone asked you, Can Islam be understood by all? What would be the answer?

Answer: It is the simplicity and common sense of I slam that appeals to all who accept it, why, one says, I must have always been a Muslim because I always believed in One God and all the prophets. Of course, I did not know about Muhammad being the Last Prophet, but now I understand and see how sensible it is. These remarks I have really heard often.

Question 17: Does Islam mention the poor and the orphans?

Answer: Yes, so much so that one can write a whole book about it.

Question 18: Can a Muslim gamble?

Answer: A simple No!

Question 19: Can a Muslim drink alcohol?

Answer: Definitely NO, and one day all people will see the curse of drink.

Question 20: What would you call Islam?

Answer: A religion; a way of life which must be in use always, not just for prayer time on Fridays. Islam must always be with you in the home, in politics, in business, in marriage, in sleeping, eating, living and dying. It is what you boys and girls know by the common words-a must.

Question 21: Name some of things that Islam says it is wrong to do.

Answer: It is wrong to hate, steal, lie, to be jealous, or kill, and to have such pride that it becomes haughtiness; also it wrong to be cruel to animals, to eat port, used bad language. It is wrong to rob in business or otherwise. Never sign a contract which you do not mean to keep. Never borrow and not pay back. It is a sin. Never incur debts which you will never be able to pay. Just ask your heart, Is this right or wrong? It will tell you if you are a Muslim. The Prophet once said, Sin is that thing which hurts inside your chest.

Question 22: Does a Muslim have any sacred animals as the Hindus have, such as the cow, for instance?

Answer: No, none at all. But all animals, said our Prophets, must be treated with kindness.

Question 23: Does a Muslim think of any river as sacred and holy?

Answer: No.

Question 24: Must a preacher be ordained before he can the prayers or give a sermon in a mosque?

Answer: No. There is no priest in Islam. But there are men trained to lecture and lead prayers and to study every point of Islam. These persons are called Imams, but any good man can stand up and lead the prayers in any mosque.

Question 25: Will another prophet ever come?

Answer: No. The Prophet Muhammad (may be peace and blessing of Allah be upon him!) is the Last Prophet. No more prophets will ever come.

Question 26: Does a prophet always bring a holy book or message?

Answer: We Muslims believe they always bring a book and a message.

Question 27: Are we born in sin? What does Islam say about this?

Answer: No. We are born sinless. But we can become sinful if we do not take Allah advice and pray for help. I ask you or anyone, Can any mother honestly believe her baby is born sinful? Can she believe that her cuddlesome little bundle was born sinful and that some man must say a prayer before it can go to heaven, if Allah calls it? A Muslim will never believe this, I doubt if any mother really would or does.

Question 28: Was the good woman, Mary, the Mother of God?

Answer: No. The good woman Mary was not the Mother of God. She was the mother of the Prophet Jesus. Allah has no mother.

Question 29: Does a Muslim believe that Jesus is God or a part of God and that he took the shape of a man and came down to die for our sins?

Answer: No. A Muslim must not believe in this.

Question 30: Does our Holy Book, the Quran, mention Jesus and his mother, Mary?

Answer: Yes. With great respect the mother of Jesus is mentioned, but only as a good woman, not as one to pray through or to; and Jesus as a good man and a prophet of Allah.

Question 31: If I pray to Allah, does He benefit by it?

Answer: Allah does not benefit by your prayer. It is you who benefits. But Allah is happy that you turn to Him and seek Him out in prayer, asking His help in daily life. But always remember, it is you who need Allah, and please do not forget this. Allah can and does exist without you, but you cannot exist without Allah and His help.

Question 32: How many times a day is a Muslim asked to pray?

Answer: Five times a day: (1) Fajr at daybreak to sunrise; (2) Zohr in the afternoon; (3) Asr in the late afternoon; (4) Maghrib at sunset; and (5) Isha before retiring to bed.

Question 33: Does a Muslim say a prayer before and after meals?

Answer: Yes. A Muslim says a prayer before he starts to drive his car, before he starts a journey or any job. He says: Bismillah. This is an Arabic sentence and means in English In the name of God (Allah) A Muslim thanks at the end of his job with the words Alhumdulillah, which means in English God be thanked.

Question 34: Are there any statues or figures made in marble or in any other kind of stone and wood which a Muslim has such as the Catholics have?

Answer: Not at all.

Question 35: Are Muslims called to prayers by bell ringing?

Answer: No. A human cry (Azan) brings the followers to prayers. This cry is much better than a bell. A man calls out to his fellow men to come to prayers in the name of God. Any man can do this, but a special man who has a good voice does it, and is called a Muezzin. You may wonder why I say that a human call is better than a bell. Think for yourself a minute. This man has a heart; he feels a happy to be going to call others to come and praise God. But that bell is just a piece of metal. It has no emotion. The following call is heard from the mosques and Muslim places of worship all over the world: Allah is Great! Allah is Great! I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad of Allah. Come to prayers! Come to prayers! Come to success! Come to success! Allah is Great! There is no god but Allah. When calling Muslims for the dawn prayer, these words are added at the end of the call: Prayer is better than sleep.

Question 36: Does an Imam out on a certain kind of robe like a clergyman in England?

Answer: No. There is no special dress as the Clergyman has, and no laces and embroidered robes as in the High Church.

Question 37: Are there any nuns in Islam?

Answer: No. We believe in Islam that a woman should marry and have children and she can still say all the prayers that a good person should. But we think it is not God wish for a woman to become a nun.

Question 38: Are there monks in Islam?

Answer: No.

Question 39: Does a baby have to be christened in Islam?

Answer: No. But we do cry the call to prayers softly in a baby ear, when it is only a few days old, as it is best thing for a baby to hear. But if anything should happen to the baby, that cry has not paved its way to heaven. As I said before, a baby is sinless and always goes to heaven, prayer or no prayer. But we like to let the sound of the call to prayers reach a baby ear.

Question 40: What does a Muslim do before he says his prayers?

Answer: A Muslim washes himself, and this is what he does: If he is clean and does not need a bath, then he starts with washing the right hand and up to the wrist three times. Then he washes the left hand three times, followed by rinsing the mouth three times, preferably brushing the teeth before rinsing the mouth. The he should clean his nose by sniffing water up three times. This is to be followed by washing the face three times and arms up to the elbows three times, first the right arm and then the left. After this he should pass his wet hands over the head, starting from the front with the inside of the wet hands, passing down to the back of the neck (using the inside of the hands). He should now turn his hands over and use the back of them, wiping the neck all around the back and the back of the ears with the thumbs from the lobe of the ear upwards. He should then put the forefinger of each hand into each ear and work the finger around the grooves of the ears. Last of all, he should wash his feet up to the ankles three times, first the right foot and then the left. The Arabic word for this washing process is Wudhu.

Question 41: Does a Muslim say his prayers standing?

Answer: Yes, some part of it. But if he is ill, he can say his prayers in any position best suitable to himself. But if he is strong and healthy, the he has to follow a set form of postures. A Muslim starts his prayers standing, and then he kneels, bows down and places his forehead right on to the ground so that the nose also touches it. No position is too humble when one is before God. In our prayers we stand, kneel, and place our foreheads touching the ground many times. I have given you already a detailed description of how to pray.

Question 42: Can a Muslim say his prayers anywhere or only in a mosque?

Answer: A Muslim can say his prayers anywhere, in a church, in a park or in a train; in fact, as I have said, everywhere. Any clean place can be a place of prayer. Our Prophet once said, the whole earth has been made a mosque for me, just provided that the Muslim performs his/her prayer in the correct manner and way, no matter where he/she are..

Question 43: Does a Muslim keep Sunday as his Sabbath?

Answer: Every day is holy to a Muslim. We do meet on a Friday for congregational prayers soon after mid-day, when we have a short sermon and then prayers. A man then leaves the mosque and work as usual. A Muslim does not believe that Allah rested on the seventh day, because our Holy Book says: Allah is He besides whom there is no god....sleep does not overtake him ... His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not.

Question 44: Are women mentioned in the Muslim Holy Book (the Quran)?

Answer: A woman is mentioned every time a man is mentioned. Here is one example: The fasting men and the fasting women, the patient men and the patient women, etc. Never is the woman left out.

Question 45: In Islam can women have her own property or did she have to wait as in England until recently to get her rights by a Law passed in the British Parliament?

Answer: A woman was given her rights in the time of our Prophet 1,400 years ago. Her property did not become her husband when she married. It is true a woman does not inherit the same as her brother from her parents. But it is argues that a male has more responsibilities and has generally to keep a family, whereas what a woman inherit she can kept for herself even after her marriage.

Question 46: Which is better, prayers fasting or good deeds?

Answer: We do not like to make comparisons, because prayer and fasting are the duties a Muslim has to perform as ordained but God. But if asked this question a Muslim would say good deeds.

Question 47: Does one need a rosary to say prayers?

Answer: No.

Question 48: What is the Hadith?

Answer: It is a record of the saying and actions of the Last Prophet Muhammad. There are many collections of our Prophet sayings.

Question 49: Is the Prophet Muhammad an historical figure?

Answer: Yes.

Question 50: What did our Prophet say about Mothers?

Answer: He said, Paradise lies at the feet of mother, it was said who do you respect after Allah (SWT) & Mohammad (PBUH) the answer was your Mother and then your Mother and then your Mother and then your Father.

தமிழக பள்ளிகளில் முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை குறைவு
ஆரம்ப பள்ளிகளில் முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை குறைவு: தமிழகத்திற்கு நான்காமிடம்

---------------------------------------------------------

புதுடில்லி: இந்திய மக்கள் தொகையில் முஸ்லிம்கள் 13 சதவீதம் இருந்தும், ஆரம்பப்பள்ளியில் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளவர்களில் 9.39 சதவீதம் மட்டுமே முஸ்லிம் மதத்தினராக இருப்பது ஆய்வில் தெரியவந்துள்ளது. நடுநிலைப் பள்ளிகளில் சேர்க்கப்படும் முஸ்லிம்கள் வெறும் 7.52 சதவீதம் பேர் மட்டுமே. பள்ளிகளில் முஸ்லிம்கள் சேர்க்கப்படுவது குறித்து தேசிய கல்வி திட்டம் மற்றும் நிர்வாக பல்கலைகழகம், முதல் முறையாக நடத்திய ஆய்வில் இது தெரியவந்துள்ளது. முஸ்லிம்கள் அதிகம் வசிக்கும் உ.பி., பீகார், மேற்கு வங்கம், கேரளா, போன்ற மாநிலங்களில், இந்த ஆய்வு நடத்தப்பட்டது. இம்மாநிலங்களில், முஸ்லிம்களின் மக்கள் தொகைக்கும் பள்ளிகளில் அவர்களின் சேர்க்கைக்கும், பெரியளவில் வித்தியாசம் உள்ளது. அசாம், காஷ்மீர், ஆந்திராவில் நிலைமை சற்று தேவலை.சில மாநிலங்களில், இதர பிற்படுத்தப்பட்ட இனத்தவரில் முஸ்லிம்களும் சேர்க்கப்பட்டு இருப்பதால், இந்த புள்ளி விவரங்களில், சற்று தவறு இருக்கலாம் என்று கருதப்படுகிறது. சில பள்ளிகளில் முஸ்லிம்கள் இனம் பிரித்து சேர்க்கப்படுவது இல்லை. அடுத்த ஆண்டு ஆய்வின் போது, இது தொடர்பான துல்லியமான புள்ளி விவரங்கள் வெளிவரலாம் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது. தற்போதைய ஆய்வின் படி, காஷ்மீரில் முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை 66.97 சதவீதம். நடுநிலை வகுப்புகளில், முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை 60.50 சதவீதம். அசாமில், முஸ்லிம் மக்கள் அதிகளவில் வசிப்பதால், அங்கும் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை 30.92 சதவீதமாக உள்ளது. ஆந்திராவில் ஆரம்பப் பள்ளிகளில் முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை 9.17 சதவீதம். நடுநிலைப் பள்ளிகளில் இது 9.11 சதவீதமாக உள்ளது.மேற்கு வங்கத்தில் முஸ்லிம் மக்கள் தொகை 25 சதவீதமாக இருந்த போதிலும், ஆரம்பப்பள்ளிகளில், முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை 27.92 சதவீதமாக உள்ளது. கேரளாவில், முஸ்லிம் மக்கள் தொகை 24.7 சதவீதம், ஆனால், முஸ்லிம் மாணவர் சேர்க்கையில் ஆரம்பப்பள்ளியில் 10.13 சதவீதமும், நடுநிலைப்பள்ளிகளில் 9.59 சதவீதமாகவும் உள்ளது. இந்த ஆய்வில், முந்தைய ஆண்டுகளை விட ஆதி திராவிடர், பழங்குடியினர், இதர பிற்பட்ட வகுப்பினர்களின் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை பெரியளவில் வித்தியாசப்படவில்லை. பள்ளிகளின் கட்டமைப்பு, ஆசிரியர்கள் எண்ணிக்கை, ஆரம்பக்கல்வி மற்றும் நடுநிலைக் கல்வி வகுப்புகளில், தேர்ச்சி சதவீதம் ஆகியவற்றின் அடிப்படையில், கல்வி மேம்பாட்டு புள்ளி கடந்த ஆண்டு ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டது. இதன் அடிப்படையில், கேரளாவே தொடர்ந்து முதலிடத்தில் இருக்கிறது. புதுச்சேரி மாநிலம் இரண்டு புள்ளிகள் பின்தங்கினாலும், இரண்டாவது இடத்தில் உள்ளது. இரண்டாவது இடத்தில் இருந்த டில்லி, மேலும் ஓரிடம் தாண்டி, மூன்றாவது இடத்துக்கு வந்துவிட்டது.கடந்த ஆண்டு மூன்றாவது இடத்தில் இருந்த தமிழகம், தற்போது நான்காவது இடத்துக்கு தள்ளப்பட்டுள்ளது. ஆந்திரா நான்கு இடங்கள் பின்தங்கி, எட்டாவது இடத்தில் இருந்து 12வது இடத்துக்கு தள்ளப்பட்டுள்ளது. கர்நாடகாவும் கூட ஆறாவது இடத்தில் இருந்து எட்டாவது இடத்துக்கு பின்தங்கி உள்ளது.
