Thanks for asking, we

Like Wsup?
![Page 5: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Well we have a lot in
common with you.
![Page 6: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Our God, is the same God
of the Jews and Christians.
In Arabic we just call him
Allah.
![Page 7: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Yeah, I heard of him, its what
you guys chant, when you’re all
excited and gonna do Jihad
Allah-u-Akbbbar!
![Page 8: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Muslims are the followers of Islam and we believe in all the Prophets like Moses and
Jesus, Peace be On them.
![Page 9: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s with the Peace?
![Page 10: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Islam means submission to the will of God, and
one of its results is Peace.
![Page 11: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We wish each other peace, that’s Assalumualikum, when we greet, and along with that we respect the Prophets, so
say “Peace Be Upon You.”
![Page 12: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
That’s Cool,you’re not trying to convert me,
don’t have a sword in that backpack
do you?
![Page 13: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
No I’m not trying to convert you. You
can only become a Muslim on your own free will. I
don’t have a sword, but I do have
something far more powerful, a copy of
the Quran.
![Page 14: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Say What Korran. That like your Bible
or something?
![Page 15: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Kind of, it’s what Muslims believe is the final revelation
given to the Prophet
Muhammad.
![Page 16: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HaHa, caught ya, you didn’t say
Peace be on him!
![Page 17: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You’re right, I didn’t want to
overwhelm you with the Peace, so just said it in my
heart!
![Page 18: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
That’s cool, God, I mean Allah , like
what’s he about?
![Page 19: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I mean I’m sure you got lots of
rituals and stuff but where does it all start or end?
![Page 20: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Being Muslim starts with
declaring that there’s no God but
Allah and Muhammad is His
Prophet.
![Page 21: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What Else?
![Page 22: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It’s about encouraging the
good and forbidding the evil.
![Page 23: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
So if you forbid evil, why are you
guys always so angry,
demonstrating and blowing up
people?
![Page 24: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some Muslims have legitimate
grievances, but due to feeling powerless, ignorance, emotion
or other factors resort to violence.
There’s no justification.
![Page 25: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Others get all bent up and they end up hurting their own cause and perceptions of
Muslims at large.
![Page 26: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cartoons, videos you guys get
offended easily. Don’t you believe
in free speech? Don’t you guys have a sense of
humor?
![Page 27: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Most Muslims believe some
things are sacred and insulting the
Prophet is seen as Blasphemous. So there are limits to
free speech.
![Page 28: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You ducked the sense of humor?
![Page 29: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Huh, what’s that?
Just kidding!
![Page 30: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And why are your women all
wrapped up and oppressed. I heard
they can’t even drive. What kind of
religion is that?
![Page 31: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We have to separate Islam from culture. Actually Islam came
and liberated women and gave them many
rights which many societies in the past or present haven’t
given.
![Page 32: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
.However, there are
some things like the driving which
are just the laws of one country, and
have nothing to do with Islam or the norm for Muslims
![Page 33: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Come-on don’t make excuses.
What’s wrong is wrong!
![Page 34: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Look Muslims have issues just like
people do in other parts of the world.
I’m not making excuses. Sadly the
wrongs that are done are
sometimes in the name of Islam.
![Page 35: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
But other times it’s due to the
Islamophobia that exists which bears no reflection on
our faith.
![Page 36: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What’s beautiful
about Islam?
![Page 37: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
I tell you what I’ll stop talking and just show you some pictures. Breathe in, and take it in. These are all Mosques, places of worship, just one of many things that are
beautiful.
![Page 38: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What is the Ka’aba?
• Located in the center of Mecca• Pre-dates Islam (said to have been
built by Abraham and Ishmael as an altar to God)
• Used by pre-Muslim Arabs for worship of their many tribal gods (idols)
• Year 630: reclaimed by Muhammad, cleansed and rededicated to Allah
• Center of Islam to this day – place of annual pilgrimage and direction of prayer for Muslims from all corners of the globe

Nice pics.What else can you

There’s so much, there are the 5
pillars and so much detail, let’s skip that for now.
Islam came to liberate the
oppressed and guide humanity.
![Page 65: Islam Q&A and Beauty of Islam](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54b91f5c4a7959b46e8b46a3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

insights, I don’t know if I’m
convinced. Leave me with a takeaway.
