Hello, everyone. Today, I write about "the begining of Islam" and "kinds of Islam". Do you know who did the man founded Islam and what kinds of Islam factions are there? I will introduce to you about that.
1. The begining of Islam.
1500 years ago, Mecca which was the central market had the amount of maney and wealth. However, in the same time, there are not only rich mens but also poors. Dow to this, people thought that whether it was true or not that arabic traditional sencse of values and social security were keeping. While these situations had been expanding, a prophet Muhammad started to preach the doctrines of Koran. These doctrines were the basis of religion which we are saying as Islam. He had been saying that people should return the only god to believe him and recover the society which was socially correct.
the prophet Muhammad, while he had been lived and died, is the model of Muslims when they tend to obey the wills of the only god. They think that to act (for showing the belief) is important. A part of Muslims think that Muhammad is "the living Koran" and "the person who shows the words of god". Christians think Jesus Christ as the spritual existence. On the other hand, Muslims think that Muhammad is not only the prophet but also the person who has the good humanity. He is the person who has the great political insight and magnificiant spiritual insight. His life had shown the doctrine of Koran. He had lived keeping the doctrine to show the low of Islam for various situation faced ordinary people by concreate cases. For these reasons, Muslims imitate his behavior in the all situations.
2. Kinds of Islam
After dying Muhhamad, the conflict was happend to get the political and religious initiative. As the result, Islam was divided into two factions, Sunni and Shia.
Muslims of Sunni think that the most qualified person should be choosen as the leadership because Muhhamad did not decied the next leadership. The Koran certainly says that Muhhamad is the last prophet . So this leadership is the only succesor as political leadership. In Sunni faction, the leadership is the guardian of belief, however, he does not have specific religious status and spiritual sences.
On the other hand, Muslims of Shia think that the leadership of Islam community should be inherited from the parent(father of him) who is the consanguity of Muhhanmad. The descendants of Muhhamad are said as "Imam", who are political and religious leadership. According to faction of Shia, Imam has religious spiritual sences, and he is innocent, and he could interpret wills of god in the Islam low. However, He is not prophet. In addition, the words and writings of Imam are the one of the most efficaious religious scriputure.
3. In the end.
Today, I would write about historical points of Islam. Do you understand the founder Muhhamad? He is the most important person in Islam world. And, you learn about differences of Sunni between Shia. If you read above, you know that topics of today are essential to understand Islam.

About Islamic World
1.Introduction
Do you know about Islamic world very much?? Maybe you say "No". We unexpectedly don't know about Islam and Muslims. So I write that on this blog and introduce you that.
Islam have many similar points with Judaism and Christianity. But many Americans, Europeans, and Japanese think that Muslims are heterogeneous and fearful. So, we tend to misunderstand them when we watch and hear the terrorism news. We must change the situation like that. Changing the bad situation, we need to study and understand Islam and Muslims.
2.What is Islam?
Islam is the religion that many people believe in all over the world. This is the second largest religion. The number of Muslims is about 1.6 billion in the world.
There are 56 countries that almost population is muslim. For example, Indonesia, Bangladeshi, Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, and so on. India, China, Central Asia countries, Russia, Eeuropu, and
America, these countries has also a lot of muslim people. In particular, we think that muslims are Arabs. But it is not true. In fact, Muslims who is an Arab are about only 20% of Muslims in the world. In short, the large muslim societies are Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladeshi, India. Not the Middle East Arabs.
Islam is monotheism same as Judea and Christianity. Muslims believe the only god Allah. They also beleive the prophet. In addition, they believe not only Muhammad but also the Jewish prophet and Christian prophet.
Muslims use the Arabic. They think that Jewish, Christian, and Islam, all the sacred book were written by god in Arabic. So,they think that the "Koran", which is Islamic sacred book, is the word of god. Therefore Muslims tend to study Arabic in spite of having other native langages. And if they do not understand Arabic, they tend to memolize and read the "Koran". Similarly, Muslims pray for god in Arabic all over the world whether Arabic is not native language.
Islam do not allows the Muslims to drink alchol and to eat pork. Islam low forbit the Muslim to sell and buy alcohol, but in the specific case, medical case is allowed to use that. The countries promulgating the Islam low is forbitting the alcohol. Almost cases, whether the person is muslim or not is not related. All the people are not allowed to drink. Such countries are Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Malaysia.Ordinary Islamic organizations support not to drink alcohol. To eat pork is not also allowed by "Koran". A part of Muslims believe that eating pork is dirty and unhealthy. Because they know that the pigs have the germ and disease. They also think that only to touch physicaly the pigs and pork make the person who touch that or stuff(something to touch that) dirty so much. But this dirtiness is able to purify by removing or cleaning the cause.
Islam has a lot of characteristic features. Today I write same specific points but there are so many lacks. I choose import and interesting points as introduction of Islam. I think that I should write more and more detailed infomation. Next post, I will write about Islam history, about Muhmmad.
