Hello everyone! First things first, I am a college student here to learn about Islam for a final project in a Humanities course I am taking. As a requirement of the project, I was to first come up with ten standard questions to ask someone of the faith chosen (I chose Islam, of course!:D). I will be extremely grateful for any assistance with this end of the assignment that all of you can help me with. I would be particularly interested if there are any spiritual leaders of Islam in this forum that would answer these questions. I personally hope to end this assignment with a better knowledge and appreciation of Islam. And, of course, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

QUESTIONS
1. What are the important holidays and traditions of this religion?

2. How has religion shaped your life?

3.What are the challenges, if any, to practicing this particular religion?

4.How do the teachings affect your day to day life?

5.How do the teachings influence your view of the future?

6.How does this religion approach the idea of life after death?

7. What place in society does this religion have (i.e. a good neighbor, helping hand)?

8.Were you always a member of this religion? If not, why did you join? If so, what compels you to stay?

9.What, specifically, was the defining moment when you realized this religion is your path?

10. What future do you see for this religion?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, thank you for your time and I hope to learn a great deal from this!
 
I'll try to help you. But I'm not an expert, if you don't mind.

ANSWERS
1. What are the important holidays and traditions of this religion?
There are two Holiday, 1) Ied Al-Fithr & 2) Ied Al-Adh

2. How has religion shaped your life?
As Islam deal with every aspect of live, simply I just follow the rule. from entering bathroom to election of Nation leader.

3.What are the challenges, if any, to practicing this particular religion?
In many country, Islam laws are not implemented. So we cannot practicing the rule. This is the biggest problem in implementing Islam.

4.How do the teachings affect your day to day life?
As said in Hadith (Islam source of law after Quran), today must be better than yesterday as tomorrow must be better than today. It's a constant improvement with daily basis.

5.How do the teachings influence your view of the future?
Also mentioned in Hadith, live as you will live forever, pray as you may day tomorrow. We're so sure about consequences of our action in the judgment day so we're very careful about every action, no matter how small. And we always have a positive view of tomorrow as 4Wl always gives good things for us.

6.How does this religion approach the idea of life after death?
It's mentioned in Quran, think about how's someone is bringing to life (birth) from something that was dead (semen and ovum). If it's not so difficult, why not a life after death?

7. What place in society does this religion have (i.e. a good neighbor, helping hand)?
Islam laws about community is called "Muamalah". It has all laws regarding of every people transaction like trading, neighborhood ship, laws about working and doing business and a lot more. Also, Islam has rule for punishment, government, military action, war etc.

8.Were you always a member of this religion? If not, why did you join? If so, what compels you to stay?
No other religion came close to Islam in the aspect of genuineness and authenticity of its Quran. No other book has the miracle or even mimicing Quran. that's mean, Islam is the true God religion.

9.What, specifically, was the defining moment when you realized this religion is your path?
At adulthood, when I find out point 8. above

10. What future do you see for this religion?
It's mentioned in Hadith, every house in the world will be entered by the light of Islam, as there will be a single nation for every moslem called chalipate that unite every muslim nation in the near future.

Hope that help
 
Thanks for the advice! My project is not due for another three weeks, so I am not in a huge rush. This thread is very important for the interview portion of the assignment. I will definitely check out that thread and other material on this site for info to use in the paper. Also, thank you, fraudulent, for your reply to the questions!
