The concept of extremism in the religion

Al-Udhiyah refers to the animal (whether a camel, cow or sheep) that is sacrificed as an act of worship to Allaah, during the period from after the Eid prayer on the Day of Nahr (Eid al-Adhaa) un-til the last of the Days of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th and 13th day of Dhu’l-Hijjah), with the intention of offering sacrifice. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).” [al-Kawthar 108:2] Al-Udhiyyah is a confirmed Sunnah according to the majority of scholars. A sheep suffices as a sacrifice for one man and the members of his household and his children The kinds of animals prescribed for sacrifice are camels, cows and sheep. Some of the scholars said that the best sacrifice is camels, then cows, then sheep, then a share in a she-camel or cow, A camel or cow suffices for seven people Conditions of al-Udhiyah: 1- The animal should have reached the required age, which is six months for a lamb, one year for a goat, two years for a cow and five years for a camel. 2- It should be free of any faults, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are four that are unacceptable for sacrifice: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a lame animal whose limp is obvious and an emaciated animal that has no marrow in its bones" It should be sacrificed at the specified time, which is from after the prayer and khutbah of Eid – not from when the time for the prayer and khutbah starts – until before sunset on the last of the days of Tashreeq, which is the 13th day of Dhu’l-Hijjah It is preferable (mustahabb) for the one who intends to sacrifice not to eat anything on that day before he eats from his sacrificial animal, if this is possible. It is better for a person to slaughter the sacrifice himself, but if he does not, it is mustahabb for him to be present when it is slaughtered. It is mustahaab to divide the meat into three: one third to be eat-en, one third to be given as gifts and one third to be given in charity. The scholars agreed that it is not permissible to sell anything from its meat, fat or skin. The butcher should not be given anything of it by way of reward or payment, The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must refrain from taking anything from his hair, nails or skin from the first day of Dhu’l-Hijjah until he offers his sacrifice.

In light of the late Coronavirus pandemic, which has heavily caused huge losses among the world population and the global finance, three Islamic practical precautions emerge to the surface proving its functionality during crisis. The first one is to refrain from eating what God has forbidden of some wild animals which is proven to be the source of the virus. Secondly, personal hygiene which Islam has excessively promoted during one's course of life. For instance, daily ablution is a repeated act every Muslim is required to do prior to praying. As scientifically confirmed, regular cleaning of the hands is effectively crucial in slowing down the infection among individuals. The third precaution is social distancing. Negating such a procedural precaution has resulted in the rapid spread of the virus across the world. Prophet Muhammad - peace and blessings be upon him - said : ( If you hear of a plague in a land, don’t enter it. And if you’re in a plagued land, don’t flee it ). This saying supports the concept of ( quarantine ) as a strategic methodology to contain the virus. Furthermore, Islam passionately offers generous condolences to the infected ones through the tremendous rewards they will earn. For the deceased ones, they’re considered martyrs in the Islamic perspective according to an authenticated saying of prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Karam Kim a Korean student , tells us how he embraced Islam.

Islam is a religion based on knowledge. It encourages people to seek knowledge in each and every useful field. Allah said: "Recite in the name of your Lord who created - created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - Who taught by the pen - Taught man that which he knew not." Quran (96:1-5). Ever since the advent of Islam, Muslims have excelled in research development and inventing. They have carried the torch of enlightenment for many centuries. They have made significant progress in many scientific fields. They were the first to use algebra. They invented the Arabic numerals. Also, they contributed in developing some of the instruments such as the astrolabe, the quadrant, and the navigational maps. In medicine, Muslim physicians paid a lot of attention to surgery and developed many surgical instruments.

The universe around you with its wonders, the sun, the moon, stars, mountains, seas, trees, etc., did not come to existence by chance. Every single atom of it leads us to the realization of a Loving, Merciful and All- Powerful Creator. Without the Creator, nothing can exist. Every single soul knows that he is existing and that his existence is dependent upon a Creator.

Nature and environment have always played an important role in the lives of Muslims. Islam has recommended its followers to protect and preserve them. The Messenger of Allah – peace be upon him – said: “A Muslim who plants a tree or grows a crop, and then, a man, bird or animal eats from it, it will be charity on his behalf".

1. Islam is the way to enter Paradise which is the ultimate goal a man/woman could ever seek. Nobody can imagine the pleasure and luxury that Allah has created in Paradise. 2. Embracing Islam erases one's previous sins, it will be wiped out once he/she embraces Islam. 3. Jews and Christians were rewarded twice if they embrace Islam. 4. In Islam, one feels secure and guided. Allah says : " Those who believe and do not mix their belief with iniquity, for them there is security and they are rightly guided ".

The world is suffering from a state of severe polarization towards different directions and counter directions This polarization may be justified at times, but it is completely unjustified that the polarization becomes between the two human sexes (men and women), i.e. when female and male movements are established, all of which are contrary to the sex instinct that they claim to defend its rights. I wonder, what led the world to this depressing situation?! In this film we will explore the reason why Islam forbids the sexual relationship outside the frame of marriage...
