well that is in fact a branch I enjoy.. I just dislike the word.. some words I dislike but the list is too numerous to have any meaning to our topic here..

peace
 
Wa alaykum salam,

- I love rites and observances like memorizing the Quran or fasting in Ramadan

- I enjoy the stories of the prophets and the Sahaba

- I enjoy learning about occult aspects like Jinn and life in the grave

- Other: Islamic eschatology + tazkiyah.
 
My owner messed up when he voted on the poll. He thought he could only select one choice. so he dug me out of hibernation and made me vote for him.

He originally voted for the 4th choice and now he made me vote for choices:

1,2,5,6,&7

He really couldn't decide which is his favorite. Blasted absent minded old goat.

Anyhow, I know he has a hard time deciding which is his favorite. It is like he can find something to hold his interest, no matter what his mood is at the time.

Now I'll evaporate and go back into hibernation.

I didn't realize I could vote more than one choice. It is hard to settle on just one. So I sent my alter ego to this thread to vote on a few more for me. Today is one of those days I am fascinated by Jinn. Not long back I was reading about the city of Petra, Legend is that Jinn carved it.

Are there stories in the Qur'an? I have only read the first couple of Surahs. I would love to read some of the stories:D Or are they in the Hadiths?.....btw....what is the Hadiths?:embarrass

Yes there are stories in the Quraan, many of them. The one the Quraan describes as the most beautiful of stories is the story of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him). It's chapter Joseph (12) in the Quraan.

Ahaadeeth (singular hadeeth) are things that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, did, commanded or approved of.
 
I personally am interested in the Hajj and the emphasis Islam places on holy sites. I love learning about Islamic holy places like the al Aqsa mosque and learning their history and why they're holy. It intrigues me. However, Gossamer has not posted that in her poll.
 
Greetings supreme,

that is why I put 'other' with an explanation below, but hopefully a mod can put all the new interests (including one of my own which I missed) up there..


all the best and thank you all for letting me learn of your interests

:w:

You missed the "scientific credibility of Islamic miracles" category. lol :p. I chose historical and military aspect for now but that goes on to show how much work I have to do regarding increasing good deeds of focussing on the 5 pillars and Quran. Another opportunity to climb up the ladder.

I do not like to engage in apologetics either. The debate should start from agnostic state (null hypothesis) and then through evidence falsifying the null hypothesis. But this applies to Muslim vs Non-Muslim behavior. For one Muslim's personal faith, once he is affirmed of God, he should never go back to null hypothesis as death can strike anytime and he might die as a kaafir just because he wanted to tend to his rational side of following the scientific method ....

Which topic in Islam interests me the most?
depends on which era in my life

from childhood till 22 years old memorizing the Quran and its science, hadith and its science,fiqh, sira
the source of knowledge in that era besides the academic study, was the publications that been distributed by the salafi school of Saudi Arabia ...
...... in that era memorizing rather than understanding was the common way


the positives in that era,was that I learned the tools to understand the Quran and fiqh..

the cons: due to the nature of that school ,I was influenced by their style ,

1- believing that what they wrote is the absolute truth
2- was rude with other Muslims from other schools.
3- was mocking at the works of the new scholars (those who disagree with such school).
4- reaction to criticism was either to be offensive or to hide the criticism itself away from the eyes.
5-enmity to reason , following the saying (believe then understand) .
6- Ignoring science.

the next era was the era of studying other religions,taking a pause from Islamic studies ... finding no compelling reasons makes me believe in another religion as the truth,or would answer some of the questions I didn't find the answer to in Islam.....


then I get back again to Islamic studies ,now reflecting not memorizing, no longer suffering from the narrow mindedness ,intellectual virginity ,rudeness ,fear of criticism ,worshiping the old opinions etc....

in that era I became a Muslim but not by birth ,but through ,reason ,convince

right now the topic in Islam that interests me the most ,is the issue of revising our traditions ,the fact that knowledge is accumulated ,we have now better tools to the task of revision ,that never been available before...

Regards

I agree, it has also made me think. I believe if there was room for 100 options most of us would check all of them and think of more we would want to see added.

I personally love the Qur'anic Arabic. It absolutely mesmerizes me and is so unique. I think that many non-Arabic Speaking Muslims do not realize how different it is from all the spoken dialects, yet it can be understood by every Arabic speaker, even if they can not understand the dialect spoken by their neighbors.
