Islam Theory and Islamic Stories

Sermons and khutba in Mosques is in crises in a sense. It should evolve from recounting history of Islam and the battles during Prophet Muhammed times to the basic teaching of the Islamic faith. Such emphasis on the battle with Kufar is over and gives falsely the impression that Islam is about wars. The teaching and virtues of Islam and the corner stone of faith should be the main emphasis. The need of modernization can not wait and there is no such luxury.

The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in the four verses of Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Qur’an: "Say: He is Allah,The One and Only."Allah, the Eternal, Absolute."He begets not, nor is He begotten.And there is none like unto Him."[Al-Qur’an 112:1-4] The word ‘Assamad’ is difficult to translate.

It also means that Allah (swt) is not dependant on any person or thing, but all persons and things are dependant on Him.

There is need for liberated Islam. In such case a new look of how Islam is practiced. An example for such thing is a Fatwa from a Sheikh, no disrespect, he decreed that it is permissible for some one to have Islamic songs. So why such the fuss? why there is a need for a decree? This goes without need to discussion? Not only some one sings Islamic songs but there should be both Muslim men and women singing together dressing very nice in beautiful colors and musical instruments and nice tunes. These Muslim young men and women should enjoy religious songs. An example the Bosnian Islamic songs of young men and women are the most beautiful.
