About Islam
Islam,
one of the world’s major
religions, is a monotheistic faith. It is based on five central tenets,
which
are known as the 5 Pillars of Islam:
- Faith (Shahada) Expressed through
the fundamental statement of faith: “There is no god but
Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet.”
- Prayer (Salat) Praying 5 times a day
in a prescribed manner
- Charity (Zakat) All things belong to
God, and wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust.
- Fasting (Sawm) Fasting is especially
observed during the holy month of Ramadan.
- The Pilgrimage to Mecca (The Hajj)
The holy book of Islam is the
Qur’an (also Quran, Koran, Alcoran).
Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the
word of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a 22 year period.
The Qur’an consists of 114 suras, or chapters. The suras were
recorded by the
followers of Muhammad before he died.
The Islamic Calendar is based
on the cycles of the moon. There are twelve lunar months of 29 or 30
days each.
This is in contrast to the Gregorian (Western) calendar which is based
on the
cycles of the sun. The first year of the Muslim era dates from the Hijra,
the emigration of the Prophet
Mohammad to Medina. According to the Muslim calendar the Hijra dates to
Anno Hegeirae, or AH 1. The Gregorian calendar dates this event to 622
CE. A more recent example is the year 2004 in the
Gregorian calendar is the Islamic year of 1425. For additional
information, see section below on Special
Topics: Islamic Calendar.
About this Research
Guide
This research guide is an introduction to
resources, available
through Western Libraries, on Islam. It
is by no means a comprehensive list, but
rather a tool to begin further inquiry and research. We are continually
adding

represented in this guide, although we will make every effort to keep
this up to
date.
The guide points to reference sources
and important works on Islam.
Included are resources from the print, video and microform collections,
as well as selected web sites. You will find information about
searching the online catalog to locate further resources and using
indexes and databases to locate journal articles.
Annotated citations are provided for
selected reference sources, audio/visual materials, and web
resources.
For each source, the library call number is listed after the basic
citation information. Check the

http://www.al-bab.com/arab/history.htm
Begins with sections devoted to pre-Islamic history of the Arab people,
but the bulk of the site is devoted to their history since conversion
to Islam.
There are a vast number of articles looking at many of the most
important periods and events over more than 12 centuries. Perhaps out
of modern
political sensitivity, coverage from the fall of the Ottomans is
generally lacking.

Islamic Literature & Texts
The holy book of
Islam is the Qur’an (also Quran, Koran,
Alcoran). Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the
word of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a 22 year period.
The Qur’an consists of 114
suras, or chapters. The suras
were recorded by the
followers of Muhammad before he died.
Arabic is the
language of Islam - the language in which the Qur'an was written or
"revealed" by God to Muhammad.
"[A]ll Muslims cherish the Arabic language and try to learn at least
some quranic and other religious phrases in Arabic."
[Smith, Jonathan Z., ed. The HarperCollins Dictionary of
Religion. San Francisco : HarperSanFrancisco, 1995.]

Sunni,
one of two major branches of Islam, comprises an 85 percent majority of
Muslims. Sunnis " follow one of the four accepted schools of
legal interpretation: Malikite (Africa); Hanafite (Egypt, Turkey,
Central Asia); Hanbalite (Arabia, Gulf Arab States); and Shafiite
(Middle East, Southeast Asia)."
Sunni Muslims are "those who follow the model example or normative
practice (Sunna) of the Prophet. [They consider themselves] the people
of the sunna and the community
of the Prophet....[R]eligious and political authority rested in the
community, guided by Islamic law and the consensus of its scholars or
leaders (ulama)."

Shiah, one of two
major branches of Islam, comprises a 15 percent minority of Muslims.
"Although both Sunni and Shii Muslims practice their religion in nearly
identical ways, their worldviews differ somewhat owing to conflicts
that occurred during the first generation after Muhammad's death and
about which there are significant differences of interpretation.... The
Shiis believe that "religiopolitical authority [is] vested in its Imans
[religiously inspired leaders]....", beginning with
‘Al¯i ibn Ab¯i T¯alib, the Iman
Ali, who was Muhammad's brother. Well-known groups of Shii Muslims, or
Shiites, are found in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and
other Middle Eastern countries.

Sufism
Sufism,
a third important sect of Islam, originated in the early eighth
century. A Sufi is an Islamic mystic. "The Sufi movement
is based on intensive devotion to Muhammad and the Qur'an. Through
master-disciple relationships, Sufi orders have played important roles
in the political,
cultural, and religious histories of Islamic countries."

"Islamic
fundamentalism of today is part of an Islamic revival that has been
going on for more than a century.
Both political and religious thinkers found the economic, political,
and social backwardness of Muslim countries
unacceptable and blamed the colonial powers for these shortcomings.
Their solution was an Islamic revival that
would make the Koran the basis of all human conduct." Some of the
groups are the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Palestinian Hamas,
and Ayatollah Khomeini's followers in Iran. [Encyclopedia of

Islamic
Calendar
The Islamic
Calendar is based
on the cycles of the moon. There are twelve lunar months of 29 or 30
days each.
This is in contrast to the Gregorian (Western) calendar which is based
on the
cycles of the sun. The first year of the Muslim era dates from the Hijra,
the emigration of the Prophet
Mohammad to Medina. According to the Muslim calendar the Hijra dates to
Anno Hegeirae, or AH 1. The Gregorian calendar dates this event to 622
CE. A more recent example is the year 2004 in the
Gregorian calendar is the Islamic year of 1425.

Summary: Explores the give-and-take between East and West. Islam caused
the Crusades, strongly influenced
the cultures of Spain, Sicily, and southern France; and gave us
mathematics and the concepts of chivalry and courtly love. It, in turn,
accepted various
influences from the West, particularly the Western style of military
architecture.
