Science in the Quran Introduction: The following documents just some of the evidence which demonstrates that the Quran could not have been written by man, rather a supernatural source must have been involved. For example, we find statements in the Quran which agree with modern science which was only discovered recently. Obviously a man living in the desert 1400 years ago could not have knowledge of such scientific facts. In addition to that, there are many clear prophecies which we have seen fullfilled in recent times. Please examine the evidence for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Physical barriers in the seas He has let loosed the two seas meeting together. Chapter 55:19, 20 of the Quran states that there are barriers in the sea.

Christianity Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth Emperor Constantine the Great decriminalized Christianity in the Roman Empire by the Edict of Milan (313), later convening the Council of Nicaea (325) where Early Christianity was consolidated into what would become the State church of the Roman Empire (380). The early history of Christianity's united church before major schisms is sometimes referred to as the "Great Church" (though divergent sects existed at the same time, including Gnostics, Marcionites, and Jewish Christians). The Church of the East split after the Council of Ephesus (431) and Oriental Orthodoxy split after the Council of Chalcedon (451) over differences in Christology,[6] while the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church separated in the East–West Schism (1054), mostly over the authority of the bishop of Rome. Etymology Beliefs Creeds Concise doctrinal statements or confessions of religious beliefs are known as creeds. Jesus

Judaism Judaism (from the Latin Iudaismus, derived from the Greek Ἰουδαϊσμός, and ultimately from the Hebrew יהודה, Yehudah, "Judah";[1][2] in Hebrew: יהדות, Yahadut, the distinctive characteristics of the Judean ethnos)[3] is the religion, philosophy and way of life of the Jewish people.[4] Judaism is a monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Mishnah and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship God established with the Children of Israel.[5] Judaism includes a wide corpus of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organization. Judaism claims a historical continuity spanning more than 3,000 years.

Muslim Scholar Tariq Ramadan: Radical or Reformer? On a recent afternoon, Tariq Ramadan, the outspoken Muslim scholar and professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University, took the stage at Georgetown University's Gaston Hall. Ramadan stood alongside John Esposito, professor of international affairs and Islamic studies at Georgetown, holding court on "radical reform" in Islam and parrying with a warm, supportive audience. The room was filled with students and others, including women in headscarves, women with bare heads, journalists and professors. Such a gathering might sound relatively unremarkable for the nation's capital, except for this: Tariq Ramadan was banned from the United States for six years, a visa restriction lifted in January by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That's because Ramadan, whose name is as often mentioned with the word "radical" as with "reformer," had become a lightening rod, a discussion point for post-9/11 restrictions on travel, ideas and the place of Islam in democracies.

Ancient Judaism (book) Ancient Judaism, also known as Ancient Palestine: Society and Religion (German: Das antike Judentum), is a book written by Max Weber, a German economist and sociologist, in early the 20th century. The original edition was in German - the essays on Ancient Judaism appeared originally in the 1917–1919 issues of the Archiv fur Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialforschung. Marianne Weber, his wife, published the essays as Part Three of his Gesammelte Aufsatze zur Religionssoziologie' in 1920–1921. It was his fourth and last major work on the sociology of religion, after The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism and The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism. Weber wrote that Weber notes that Judaism not only fathered Christianity and Islam, but was crucial to the rise of modern Occident state, as its influence were as important to those of Hellenistic and Roman cultures. Reinhard Bendix summarising the Weber work writes:

Islam - Conférences - Cheikh Imran Hosein Nazar La Confiance en Dieu - Sens et bienfaits du Tawakkul 7,50 € La confiance en Dieu (at-tawakkul) est l'une des conditions de la réalisation complète de la foi en Dieu.C'est la représentation concrète de la foi, et l'une des meilleures expressions des coeurs. L'imam Ibn al-Qayyim voyait en elle la moitié de la religion. Il a dit : "La confiance en Dieu est la moitié de la religion, et l'autre moitié c'est le retour vers Dieu." Cette question d'une importance considérable, mérite toute notre attention en raison des confusions qui l'entourent dans l'esprit de beaucoup de gens, dûe à une mauvaise compréhension de la signification de cette expression : placer sa confiance en Dieu, s'en remettre à Dieu (at-tawakkul). Ils considèrent en effet que s'en remetre à Dieu revient à récuser la causalité et négliger les devoirs.
