Appeasement or Devotion to Faith?

The supreme deity in Islam, Allah is the One and Only God, creator and sustainer of the universe. He possesses all attributes of perfection, including mercy, justice, and omnipotence.

Allah

This section covers the core articles of faith (Īmān), namely faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and the divine decree (qadr). Other related topics, often found in classical theological works, are also found in this section.

Faith

While Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, is the central focus of Christianity, he is also considered a great prophet in Islam and one of the most honored messengers of Allah. The historical Jesus and the theological Jesus often differ from one another, as do the claims of the world’s two largest religions regarding him. Common ground between Muslims and Christians can be built upon shared views of Jesus’ life and teachings, while fully acknowledging the irreconcilable differences. The most basic commitment in Islamic creed is that of Tawheed (pure monotheism), and the ascription of a son to God is a clear violation of this fundamental belief. Most modern Christians believe in the divinity of Jesus; thus, Islam’s position that he was fully human may be seen as belittling him. This collection summarizes Muslim claims regarding Jesus with historical and theological evidences and highlights commonalities and differences in Muslim and Christian conceptions of him. It also explores how we, as Muslims, can build a unifying dialogue with Christians while remaining faithful to our own non-negotiable theological commitments.

From shouts on the street of “go back to where you came from,” to shallow arguments about the threat of Islam advanced by so-called experts and elected officials, Islamophobia has influenced the public discourse surrounding Muslims across all levels of society. But beyond hurtful rhetoric by ill-wishing passersby, those frequenting anti-Muslim online forums, and political representatives, the effect of Islamophobia is having a much darker impact on Muslim communities ranging from mis-guided policies to outright acts of violence against Muslims and their houses of worship. In this collection of papers on Islamophobia, academic specialists in the field address various social, political, economic, historical, and academic manifestations of Islamophobia in the West. By taking an interdisciplinary approach to the study of this potent phenomenon, the authors in these papers underscore the logical fallacies, unscientific analyses, and economic forces propelling Islamophobic thinking all the way up to the highest levels of government. Although further research is required to understand the full scope of Islamophobia and its harmful effects, this collection aims to serve as a conversation starter and a resource for those eager to make sense of such highly politicized and potentially dangerous fears of Islam and Muslims.
