Not Possible Among Muslim Arabs In Saudi Arabia

968 Words4 Pages

The optimistic idea of Pan-Arabism was to unite all Arabs of the Middle East, with the assumption that their common identity as Arab was enough to politically unify them. While this is a hopeful aspiration, it is not a likely one. There are many factors that come into conflict with the idea of uniting all Arabs into one country, including different dialects of Arabic, languages besides Arabic (French, Hebrew), confusion on what countries are part of the Middle East, skin color, and religion. Religion especially comes into conflict with uniting Arab people when one takes into account the fact that Arabs are Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and have different beliefs. A place like Saudi Arabia further separates Muslim Arabs in particular in terms of how they interpret the Qur’an. Pan-Arabism is not possible among Muslim Arabs in Saudi Arabia due to the conflict of interpretations of the Qur’an. Muslims believe that the Qur’an is exactly the word of God. “The process where Gabriel was delivering the revelations to Mohammed and Mohammed had several scribes write down the revelations was so they could compare it so no one heard Mohammed incorrectly. Through Gabriel, God also told Mohammed that he misheard Him allowing Mohammed to have the scribes rewrite the revelations”. The idea is not only did God write the Qur’an but he also had a chance to edit it. A conflict during Ramadan about how …show more content…

If one who is pregnant, a child, elderly, or ill practices Wahhabism and must fast strictly when there is daylight, that will be challenging for those types of people who need food during the day to stay healthy. A Modernist perspective in terms of determining the meaning of fasting during the daylight, would claim “as long as one is not violating the spirit of Ramadan and is bringing full efforts to be a good Muslim, one may eat if necessary because God knows your true

    As von Sivers, Desnoyers and Stow infer, the Quran and Sunna both depict a theology of Mecca and Medina (Yathrib) as the sacred cities where Mohamed would preach the God’s word to pagans (280). Muhammad’s new Religion Islam became an Arab religion that did not recognize the teaching of Judaism and Christianity (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 280). Islam is distinct from all other religions due to five religious duties that identify Muslims, the profession of faith, prayer, fasting, alms-giving, and pilgrimage to Mecca (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 281). Establishing a new religion was not a seamless process as Muhammad had to overcome before a community of Muslims that were mandated to engage in a holy struggle or jihad against those who believe in other Gods (von Sivers Desnoyers and Stow 280). What resulted was the spread of Islam throughout the Middle East as Muhammad’s successors conquered Arabia, Syria, and Iraq and Egypt to establish Islam as the supreme faith (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow

    Many people, including me and Lauren do not like to fast. For me and Lauren, fasting was difficult. Often times we might forget that we are supposed to fast that day or other times we are just so hungry that we break down and eat a snack or a sandwich. I think Lauren summarized that main point of fasting very well, she basically says that fasting is not meant to torture us or punish us but instead it is meant to help us slow down, take a break from any distractions in our lives and to focus on what is really important in our lives. Often times in life, we worry too much.

    The author Hugh Kennedy has plenty to say in his article, “Principal Sources For The History of the Near East.” The most important information is that the history of Islam was not reported earlier but until 600-900 BCE. The Islamic history was not reported prior to Muhammad and not until 600-900 in part to the evidence. The prior Arabic material was mostly from the knowledge of Greek narratives and earlier records from the times of Alexander the Great. These early Islamic time periods were rich in literacy but lacked the full historical approaches to the Islamic history and these sources remained obscured.
