The Majestic Quran

stubbornly refuses to believe, the hypocrite is the one who pretends to believe but whose conscience is against it. The Five Pillars of Islam: belief in the Oneness of God, the five daily prayers, Zakat, Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Makkah. The unity of the Abrahamic faiths: the chapter repeatedly points out that Islam is not a new religion but instead a system which verifies and continues the original teachings of Judaism and Christianity, which also taught belief in one God and of serving humanity. Islam replaces Judaism and Christianity as the final religion of God, and the Quran is The Final Revelation. Family matters: the chapter covers various aspects of marital laws and means of resolving family disputes and addressing divorce. The social, spiritual and economic principles of a just society. New Laws Established In Madinah, Muslims were able to practise Islam with a freedom they had not been allowed in Makkah. There is a lot of emphasis on developing a civil society that is not defined by blood, but instead by a belief system, by spiritual and moral teachings, and by social and political values. The chapter establishes a clear legal context to support this spiritual and moral social structure and to tackle the sickness of an uncaring society. In addition, political and economic principles are laid out within a legal framework. These include: The change of the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Makkah (verse 142). The four forbidden foods (172).
