The existing Imam can nominate his successor, without consulting the electors. Al-Mawardi is of the view that Muslim community is consensus on this point and they obey the nominated Imam with their complete heart and soul. For example, Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) nominated Hazrat Umar (R.A) and Muslims obeyed his order. Al-Mawardi also says that existing Imam can nominate more than Imam to succeed one another in turn. For example, Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) nominated Hazrat Zayd (R.A) as commander of Muslims and if he fells then Japen Bin Ali will replace him in the battle of
ii) Those who believe in Christ become sons of God (John1:10, 12) and they will not be condemned (John3:16-18), the believers are entitled for eternal life. iii) INCARNATION: How Christ the Word became flesh/man and came to dwell among mankind.

Any comprehensive reading of The Pilgrim 's Progress requires an extensive understanding of the religious framework within which John Bunyan was writing. Generally speaking, Bunyan fits into the group of people that are now commonly referred to as Puritans. In Bunyan 's time, however, 'Puritan ' was a somewhat ambiguous term that incorporated Baptists and Quakers, Ranters and other dissenters. While they shared a common goal of "purifying" the Church of what they saw as excess and materialism, there are many subtle differences between these religions ' theologies, methods, and relations to authority. Bunyan did not necessarily chose to label himself, but Greaves observes that he likely could have been described as an open-membership, open-communion Baptist.
However, even before then Mansa Musa readily accepted the religion of Islam and did everything in his power to be a pious Muslim. For example, when Mansa Musa is told that it is not permissible to have concubines even if you are a king he immediately replies “By God I did not know that. I hereby leave it and abandon it utterly!” (page 59). This provides evidence to his piety as he immediately accepts this belief with complete devotion, and his moral virtue as Mansa Musa shows self control and judiciousness by not making exceptions for himself as a King. Moreover, as an even bigger testament to his piousness Al- ‘Umari mentions how, had he not passed away on his return, Mansa Musa was planning to hand over his sovereignty to his son and return to Mecca and remain there near the sanctuary in an act of great devotion and reverence.
Introduction Unfortunately, many New Testament characters are often overlooked by the casual reader, yet the manner in which these characters are depicted can offer valuable insight into appropriate Christian conduct, ethics, and morality. Seeking to underscore this point, this biographical study will examine the life of Pontius Pilate, contrasting his comportment with biblical doctrines and deriving practical application principles. Accordingly, the examination will demonstrate that historical documents portray Pontius Pilate as a tyrannical political figure, more concerned with personal accomplishment than truth, justice, or theological understanding, thereby providing a cautionary tale for contemporary Christians in America. Consulting the
ajweed when related to the Holy Quran, means recitation of the Holy Quran in the way the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited the Quran. Tajweed in general means ‘to make it fine”. As the Holy prophet was the only person who produced the rightist pronunciation of the Almighty’s words in the Holy Quran. It is therefore imperative to learn Tajweed to apply the same to read the Holy Quran for getting exact pronunciation and meanings of the Quran words. The word Tajweed linguistically means 'proficiency ' or 'doing something well '.
[12] According to widely accepted notion of Christianity, sins can only be forgiven by accepting Jesus Christ as savior, by grace and through faith. [13] Although there are multiple conceptions of the atonement of Christ through historical period. Moral Transformation is one of the foremost paradigm of Christian history, still followed by Orthodox Church, stated salvation can only be achieved by faithfully and sincerely adhering to the teachings of Jesus and Jesus’s crucifixion is a mere martyrdom. [14] According to Christus Victor, salvation held after the spiritual struggle by defeating Satan’s power on human nature as Jesus defeated Satan.

Three features of Dalit theology may be highlighted: 1. a theology of rejection and refutation. 2. A theology of aspiration and self-narration and 3, a theology of negotiation for liberation of all creation.
