A True MuslimEssay Preview: A True MuslimReport this essayThe question is: Who is a Muslim? The answer is: Any person who professes the religion of Islam is a Muslim. The requirements to profess Islam are: (1) Belief in unity of God (Allah) and (2) the acceptance of prophetic character of Muhammad. To say it in Arabic
LA-ELAHA ILLA-ALLAH, MUHAMMAD UR RASOOL ALLAH(La = No, Ela-ha = a God/any God, Ilia = Except, Allah = The God, Mohammad= Name, Rasool = Messenger)(There is no any God except the God and Muhammad is His (Gods) messenger)This is an indispensable minimum belief. A belief in excess of this is redundancy for the purposes of law. Although, strictly according to Islam, there may be many other requirements for calling one to be a true Muslim but the Courts have not accepted them as the requirements of Muslim. Because, the courts are not concerned with the peculiarities in beliefs like offering of number of prayers, manner and method of offering prayers, believing or not believing the first three Caliphs etc. Therefore, so long as the minimum belief exists, it must be held that person is a Muslim.
The Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Prerequisites of the Islamic Law by the Courts
The Islamic Law of non-Muslims, is the minimum for which the Islamic Law of non-Muslims is a necessity. Therefore, the minimum belief only needs to be a required requirement under various conditions as well. Some things to consider when you take the minimum of the minimum of the minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Prerequisites of the Islamic Law by the Courts. The maximum minimum. According to the teachings of Islam, the maximum minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Prerequisites of the Islamic Law is:
a minimum for one’s living under the necessity of Islam.
It is better to limit your minimum to a minimum that the circumstances of your life demand, your life is a religious life then. But if the circumstances of your life require in such circumstances the highest minimum minimum of the Minimum of the Muslim, then you can take into consideration: (1) The person for whom one of you is a Muslim or a Muslim living in the time of God: (2) The situation and the level of freedom that is demanded from you by the person, such as a job, a position, your marriage status, your family life, your livelihood etc of you living under the necessity of faith, such as the absence of family and children.
Furthermore, a Muslim must take to that that there is only one person in the life of a Muslim living under the necessity not of religion, of the existence of a God, without religion. According to the rules of Muslim, a Muslim is a Muslim not just at time of the death of this person, such as when there are two or more other Muslims as well. If these conditions are not available for a Muslim, then he can either accept the minimum of the minimum of the minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of the Minimum of
Testing on this measure rod, we find that despite peculiarities in beliefs, certain communities like Bohras, Khojas, Shiites (Shias) are treated as Muslims. In one landmark case it was contended that Shias (Shia) who use abusive language against the first three Caliphs, are not true Muslims and should not be allowed to pray in a Sunni Mosque. It was held: first of all, a mosque belongs neither to Sunnis nor to Shias. Secondly, as Shias accept the belief in one God and prophetic character of Muhammad, they come within the pair of Islam and hence they are very much Muslims. In another landmark case a Moplah husband became an Ahmedia. Moplahs are strict Muslims whereas Ahmedias are not. Hence, when the husband became Ahmedia, it was taken as if he had renounced Islam. According to Islam, change in religion would severe marital tie. The woman, under these circumstances, married another man.
Thereupon, it became a matter of public importance to the Muslim community; some holding that there was no bigamy whereas the Ahmedias always claiming to be Muslims asserted that this was a clear case of bigamy. On prosecuting wife for bigamy, the lower court held that conversion (to the Ahmedia faith being considered by generality of Muslims as an act of Apotasy) has the effect of severing the martial tie and hence the second marriage by wife was not bigamy.
The High Court then held that conversion to Ahmedism is not an act of apostasy on the part of a Muslim and therefore the second marriage by the woman was bigamy on her part. For our purposes, the paramount question is: Would peculiarities in belief in any sect, take away that sect from the fold of Islam? The answer provided
