My journey to islam

From sister Bee Bee

"The quest for the hidden treausures of one´s soul"

Through out life, many of us wander what is the purpose of our existence, where do we come from, and where are we heading.There are many roads we can choose,as well as many religions, ideologies, philosophies and spiritual doctrines. The whole world, all along its vast geography and cultures, offers thousands of possiblities, from which one can choose the most appealing according to one´s beliefs. God´s has giving us free will to test our capacity to make the right decissions.

In the search for the right path, one must follow it´s inner guidance and the signs of the road. When one is traveling towards a destiny, one sees on the highway the signs that announce the distance to the place you want to reach, the same happens in the mystic´s journey. The universe is talking to us all the time. In every place and at every moment, we can find traces of God and it´s infinite wisdom, which leads us to that place where God needs our presence. We just have to keep our eyes wide open, not only our physical eyes, but those of the soul, in order to understand the hidden language of the universe and it´s constant messages. The universe is full of magical things waiting for our witts to grow sharper. Where are we going from here?

I´ve been travelling through this road of life, searching for my truth, through countless days, hours and seconds. I have stopped in  many stations, met thousands of station companions, which indeed have been crucial in the fullfillment of my task. I believe all that I´ve been through, both good and bad has leaden to where I am know, and has provided me with the necessary knowledege to see things as clear as I see them now. Sometimes, I  wish I could   go back and erase all that I have written in the book of my destiny and start all over again, since many of the decisions of my past where not the best. However, if it wasnt for them, I probably wouldnt be here writing this paper.

Do all the roads lead to Rome? I used to believe all roads would finally take us to the same place, only that the way to reach it, would be a  different one. However, after searching inside myself for my own truth, I´ve realized that even though all roads must take us somewhere, only one leads us towars eternal life, towards that place where we will merge eternally with our Creator and contemplate his glory. Which road will lead us there?

Anas ibn Malik said that Allah's Apostle sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "I entered Paradise and found myself by a river, by its edges were tents of pearls. Then I tapped with my hands where the water was running, and there was then a beautiful smell of Musk. I asked, 'What is this O Gabriel?' He said, 'This is Kawthar (river in Paradise) which Allah has given to you.'" (Sahih al-Jami)

Once upon a time, there was a seeker, who began searching for it´s own truth. That seeker was me. I was born in a roman catholic familiy, however, religion was not very important in my childhood. It didnt go further than the usual sunday masses or the night prayer to one´s guardian angel or to Virgin Mary.

As time went by, my interest in spiritual matters increased and I started introducing myself in one of the most passionate quest´s of one´s life. The search for the oneness within your self, the quest for the absolute fussion with the divine self.

"The goal is to  attain purification of the heart and soul and to develop a true, deep, and lasting connection with Allah" .

http://www.tasawwuf.org/basics/what_tasawwuf.htm, consulted on line, December 17,2012

This is the goal of any mystic, of any religion or culture, this is the goal of those who experience the thirst in the souls than can only be quenched by divine love.

So, as someone infinitely thirsty of wisdom and knowledge I began searching for my own truth. I investigated the religion in which I was raised up, Roman Catholic Church, it´s spiritual practices and believes...Many things seemed weak to me, starting with the fact that I had to confess my sins in front of another sinner or a priest, this never made sense to me. The law that stablished that neither  priests or nuns were allowed to marry, also seemed to me as something unfair,  and as an issue that  kept this religion or branch of christianity from evolving. Another of the points of catholicism that generated doubts to me was; why in the moment when we had to shake hands with each other,the moment of peace during the holly mass, people seemed shy and distant? Arent we supossed to be a big family, arent we one in the mystical body of our lord Jesus Christ? Many things did not seem right to me, but, it was the religion of my parents, so I kept  belonging to it

However, I found many other things I liked too.  The holy comunion for example, since it reresented the union of my own self with God´s divine spirit, which was mostly what I wished to pursue. The crucifiction of Lord Jesus, which represented the death of all our worldy passions ande desires in order for our spiritual nature to arise, among other things, which I consider valuable of christianity.  In the bible I discovered  thousands of treasures of divine wisdom, as well as a  guide to freedom of the worldly chains to which many of us are submitted, many times, with out knowing it.  But, was Jesus really crucified? Or was his crucifiction just a metaphor to ilustrate that we all need to die in flesh in order to re-born spiritually? The bible wasnt enough for me to find the truth. I wanted more, I needed to discover this magical path that would lead me directly to the source, to the divine fountain. 

So I began to investigate the celts. I felt quite attracted to druids, and witches, sorceress, elfs, and all the magical beings of this era. As I submerged in the world of the ancient celts, I discovered many things that seemed right for me and agreed with my inner truth. Their respect for nature, their attunement with the cicles of the earth, the wisdom hidden in water, in trees, in every drop of God´s creation, the mysticism of the morning dew..But still, something did not seem right, how come they had different God´s and Goddeses for everything? One God for war, one god for the wind, another for the winter, a Goddess for fertility...No, this doesn´t seem right..

So my search had to be continued, in other places, other times. Hinduism, Zoroastrism, Confucianism...Let´s start by hinduism. I love meditation, just sitting still for a while, silently, searching inside myself for a second of peace can change the whole world. So hinduism, would be a good option, my next station. But as soon as I introduced myself in this new universe I crossed my self with a concept that didn´t make sense to me, reincarnation! Reincarnation? Have I been born before?  According to hinduism, reincarnation explains the cause by which some are born into better health or economical conditions than others, it is a reflect of divine justice. If you are rich in this life and have a healthy and harmonic body, it might be due to the cause that in a past life you were a very nice and generous person. Therefore, the divine providence is rewarding  you for it in this life, giving you nice and comfortable conditions in your present life. The same thing may happen with those who are not born in good health or economical conditions, it´s the effect of that which they harvested in their past lifes. According to me, everyone has what he deserves according to God´s infinite wisdom and that is something we simply dont question, Allah knows best.

Reincarnation also explains why we simpatize with people to whom which only seen for a few seconds, we have met them again and again in our past-lifes, and they have been our siblings, lovers, parents, friends etc. The same happens  with those who we dislike instantly, it´s a re-encounter, in past lifes they were our enemies. According to hinduism, reincarnation is the explanation for many things that we experience in our present lifes, all being the effect of our past actions throughout our human existence, our journey through this phyiscal reality, through the third dimension.  We are all conditioned to it, until we can scape the wild turning of the samsara wheel. Releasing free from the wild whirls  of the samsara wheel can only  be attained once we´ve broken free from our ego like Buddha did, this way fussionating with the divine and ascending to heaven in body and spirit...not easy right? 

In hinduism I found valuable spiritual practices such as meditations, fasting and the chanting of mantras. When done the right way, the chanting of mantras lead to the asencion of our concsiusness to higher frequencies where the angelic knowledege and the secret of the cosmos  remain waiting for us to discover them. But once again, I had the same problem that I found in the celtic religion, the thousands of gods...Lord Kama, Lord Vish, Shiva... Why not just focusing in One God, the one and only creator? 

I dont deny that all this doctrines or paths have in them hidden of  pearls of knowledge that reveal the nature of the Almighty Creator, it´s mercy, perfection, inmensity,vastness, royalty, among many other attributes that describe our Lord. However, in my point of view,they dont provide a direct road to that sacred place where we can meet with the divine fountain and catch the glimpses of the divine grace. Is as if one is travelling towards one´s eternal destiny, and in order to reach it, one must take many roads...Why not just taking one direct road towards eternity?

Finally one day, a jewel from heaven fell into my hands. The holy Quoran. Many things started making sense then. Only one God, just lifting our praises to our one and only creator. The guardian of both celestial and earthly tresuares, the owner of time and eternity, of space and infinity, the All mighty, All poweful, All knowing Lord of heavens and everthing created beneath them. Through our prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, the Creator revealed to hummanity the right path to reach him and to be shaded by his mercy, as well as the correct way to adore him and place ourselves in his presence.

Prayers in islam, or salat, are a very powerful spiritual practice, which results absolutely healing not only physically, but spiritually, and emotionally too. Done the right way and with conviction, the form of prayer in islam is a master key to open the doors of heaven and recieve the blessings and the wisdoms of our all mighty creator.

The Messenger of God Muhammad (may peace be upon him) said:
"If a person had a stream outside his door and he bathed in it five times a day, do you think he would have any filth left on him?" The people said, "No filth would remain on him whatsoever." The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, "That is like the five daily prayers: Allah (God) wipes away the sins by them."

The above Hadith was recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim

All religions or spiritual doctrines offer a variety of spiritual practices which increase our spirituality and level of consciousness. Praying, when done with faith is a miracolous medicine. Praying is an interchange of love with the All Mighty.

Every holy book, the Bahavdaghita, the Upanishads, the Bible, and others, have within them hidden tools for us to connect with our creator and battle the enemy of the soul, Sahytan. When applying such techniques, one has in it´s hands the possibility  to live a fortunate earthly life as well as well as tu pursue an eternal existance next to our Lord and its angels in the future life. God has revealed itself and it´s nature to humanity through different prophets, masters, and spiritual guides through out history. All it´s revelations have been done according to the time and geographical ubication of the chosen group, depending on their level of concioussness and capacity to understand the message.

Every religion has a divine plan, with a mission to fullfill which will extinguish when it has been determined in the files of the cosmos. However, Prophet Mohammed´s (peace be upon him) revelation was the seal of many eras of the revelations of our Lord as well as a guidance for all humanity, not just for a particular group of people. Mohammed´s (peace be upon him) teachings are the same teachings of the prophets that came before him.Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), is the spirit of all the prophets,is all the prophets merged into one. There is no distinction between any of the prophets, since all have been sent by the center of supreme energy, Allah, Jah, in order  to remind  humanity of it´s unity, mercy, goodness and love, as well as to guide our hearts to the Eternal, through the obedience to his teachings.

The Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"I am the closest of all people to Jesus, son of Mary, in this world and the Hereafter; for all prophets are brothers, with different mothers but one religion"

Taken from the book "The Wisdom of the Prophet", a selection from the Hadith translated by Thomas Cleary

Islam is a non-stop trip and direct road to the eternal fountain of divine wisdom, mercy and love! When practiced with the heart, islam, is the master key that opens the doors to all the riches of the spiritual worlds, of the hidden treasures within our souls. Inside each of us, in our souls, there´s a chest that keeps within the most precious jewels of ancient knowledge. Follow the path of islam sincerely and this chest shall be open for you and all this riches, the same ones that our Master Jesus mentions in the gospels, shall be yours in this life and in the ever after.

"As we sat one day with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), a man in pure white clothing and jet black hair came to us, without a trace of travelling upon him, though none of us knew him.

He sat down before the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) bracing his knees against his, resting his hands on his legs, and said: "Muhammad, tell me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and to perform the prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to the House if you can find a way."

He said: "You have spoken the truth," and we were surprised that he should ask and then confirm the answer. Then he said:

"Tell me about true faith (iman)," and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His inspired Books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, its good and evil."

"You have spoken the truth," he said, "Now tell me about the perfection of faith (ihsan)," and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you see Him not, He nevertheless sees you."

The hadith continues to where ‘Umar said:

Then the visitor left. I waited a long while, and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said to me, "Do you know, ‘Umar, who was the questioner?" and I replied, "Allah and His messenger know best." He said,

"It was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion" (Sahih Muslim, 1.37: hadith 8).

Islam is the final revelation of God for humanity, is a gift of divine mercy!

At the beggining of this paper, I was wandering weather it was possible to go back in time and erase many things I have written in the book of my life and start all over again, like a new-born child dressed in garments of pureness and inocence. When one converts to islam, one recieves a marvelous gift from the divine providence. A new and clean book of life, the possibility to start writing the story of our life once again. Praised be Allah lord of the Worlds.

Who is Allah?- Quien es Allah?

Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word “Allah.”  For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews.  This is totally false, since “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for “God” - and there is only One God.  Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all.  However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God.  For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation.  This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God - because, as we have already said, there is only One True God.  Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be “Abrahamic Faiths”, and all of them are also classified as “monotheistic.”  However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.

First of all, it is important to note that “Allah” is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God.  If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word “Allah” being used where “God” is used in English.  This is because “Allah” is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”.  Additionally, the word “Allah” cannot be made plural, a fact which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God.

It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word “El”, which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word “Allah” than the English word “God.”  This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are “El” and “Elah”, and the plural or glorified form “Elohim.”  The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins.  It should also be noted that in translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew word “El” is translated variously as “God”, “god” and “angel”!  This imprecise language allows different translators, based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own views.  The Arabic word “Allah” presents no such difficulty or ambiguity, since it is only used for Almighty God alone.  Additionally, in English, the only difference between “god”, meaning a false god, and “God”, meaning the One True God, is the capital “G”.  Due to the above mentioned facts, a more accurate translation of the word “Allah” into English might be “The One -and-Only God” or “The One True God.”

More importantly, it should also be noted that the Arabic word “Allah” contains a deep religious message due to its root meaning and origin.  This is because it stems from the Arabic verb ta’allaha (or alaha), which means “to be worshipped.”  Thus in Arabic, the word “Allah” means “The One who deserves all worship.”  This, in a nutshell, is the Pure Monotheistic message of Islam.

Suffice it to say that just because someone claims to be a “monotheistic” Jew, Christian or Muslim, that does not keep them from falling into corrupt beliefs and idolatrous practices.  Many people, including some Muslims, claim belief in “One God” even though they’ve fallen into acts of idolatry.  Certainly, many Protestants accuse Roman Catholics of idolatrous practices in regards to the saints and the Virgin Mary.  Likewise, the Greek Orthodox Church is considered “idolatrous” by many other Christians because in much of their worship they use icons.  However, if you ask a Roman Catholic or a Greek Orthodox person if God is “One”, they will invariably answer: “Yes!.”  This claim, however, does not stop them from being “creature worshipping” idolaters.  The same goes for Hindus, who just consider their gods to be “manifestations” or “incarnations” of the One Supreme God.

Before concluding… there are some people out there, who are obviously not on the side of truth, that want to get people to believe that “Allah” is just some Arabian “god”[1], and that Islam is completely “other” - meaning that it has no common roots with the other Abrahamic religions (i.e. Christianity and Judaism).  To say that Muslims worship a different “God” because they say “Allah” is just as illogical as saying that French people worship another God because they use the word “Dieu”, that Spanish-speaking people worship a different God because they say “Dios” or that the Hebrews worshipped a different God because they sometimes call Him “Yahweh.”  Certainly, reasoning like this is quite ridiculous!  It should also be mentioned, that claiming that any one language uses the only the correct word for God is tantamount to denying the universality of God’s message to mankind, which was to all nations, tribes and people through various prophets who spoke different languages.

We would like to ask our readers about the motives of these people?  The reason is that the Ultimate Truth of Islam stands on solid ground and its unshakeable belief in the Unity of God is above reproach.  Due to this, Christians can’t criticize its doctrines directly, but instead fabricate things about Islam that aren’t true so that people lose the desire to learn more.  If Islam were presented in the proper way to the world, it surely might make many people reconsider and re-evaluate their own beliefs.  It is quite likely that when they find out that there is a universal religion in the world that teaches people to worship and love God, while also practicing Pure Monotheism, would at least feel that they should re-examine the basis for their own beliefs and doctrines.

SPANISH TEXT- TEXTO EXPAÑOL

Uno de los principales conceptos erróneos que los no musulmanes tienen acerca del Islam tiene que ver con la palabra  “Allah”.  Por diversas razones, mucha gente ha terminado creyendo que los musulmanes adoran a un Dios diferente al de los cristianos y los judíos.  Esto es totalmente falso, ya que  “Allah” es simplemente la palabra árabe para referirse a “Dios”, y hay un solo Dios.  Que no hayan dudas: los musulmanes adoran al Dios de Noé,  Abraham, Moisés, David y Jesús – que la paz sea con ellos.  Sin embargo, es verdad que los judíos, cristianos y musulmanes tienen diferentes conceptos del Dios Todopoderoso.  Por ejemplo, tanto los musulmanes – como los judíos – rechazan las creencias cristianas de la Trinidad y de la Divina Encarnación.  Esto, sin embargo, no significa que cada una de estas tres religiones adore a un Dios diferente – porque, como ya lo hemos dicho, hay sólo Un Dios Verdadero.  El Judaísmo, el cristianismo y el Islam afirman pertenecer a la “Fe de Abraham”, y todos ellos se hacen llamar “monoteístas”.  Sin embargo, el Islam enseña que las otras religiones, en una forma u otra, han distorsionado y anulado una creencia pura y apropiada en Dios Todopoderoso al desatender Sus verdaderas enseñanzas y mezclarlas con ideas creadas por el hombre.

En primer lugar, es importante observar que “Allah” es la misma palabra que utilizan los cristianos y judíos que hablan árabe, para mencionar a Dios.  Si se mira en una Biblia árabe, se verá la palabra “Allah” en donde iría la palabra “Dios” en una en Biblia en español.  Esto es porque “Allah” simplemente quiere decir en lengua árabe “La Divinidad”, y que equivale a la palabra “Dios” en español, con D mayúscula.  Además, la palabra “Allah” no puede pluralizarse, un hecho que está relacionado con el concepto mismo de Dios.

Es interesante destacar que la palabra en arameo “Elí”, que es la traducción de Dios en la lengua que habló Jesús, suena de un modo similar a “Allah”.  Esto es también el ejemplo de varias palabras hebreas que se utilizan para llamar a Dios, como “Eloh” y “Elah”, y el plural mayestático “Elohim”.  La razón para estas similitudes es que el arameo, hebreo y árabe son todas lenguas semíticas con orígenes comunes.  También se puede notar que al traducir la Biblia al español, la palabra hebrea “Eloh” se traduce a veces como “Dios”, “deidad” o “ángel”.  Este lenguaje impreciso da pié a diferentes traducciones basadas en las nociones preconcebidas del traductor, quien hace que la o las palabras “encajen” en su propio punto de vista.  La palabra árabe  “Allah” no presenta dificultad o ambigüedad, ya que solo se utiliza para Dios Todo poderoso.  Además, en español, la única diferencia entre “dios”, (deidad o falso dios), y “Dios”, (Único y Verdadero Dios), es escribirlo con mayúscula.  Debido a los ya mencionados hechos, una traducción más adecuada de la palabra “Allah” al español podría ser “El Único Dios” o “El Único y Verdadero Dios”.  

Más importante, también se podría afirmar que la palabra árabe  “Allah” contiene un profundo mensaje religioso debido a su etimología, la fuente de su significado y origen lingüístico.  Esto es porque viene del verbo árabe  “ta’allaha” (o alaha), que significa “ser adorado”.  Por lo tanto en árabe, la palabra “Allah” significa “El que es o Merece ser adorado”.  Esto, en resumidas cuentas, es el mensaje mismo del monoteísmo islámico.

Basta decir que sólo porque alguien afirme ser judío, cristiano, musulmán o “monoteísta”,  no lo aleja de la posibilidad de caer en creencias corruptas y prácticas de idolatría.  Mucha gente, incluyendo a algunos musulmanes, afirman creer en Un Dios incluso habiendo caído en actos de idolatría.  Muchos protestantes acusan a los católicos romanos de practicar la idolatría en cuanto a los santos y la Virgen Maria.  De modo similar, la iglesia ortodoxa griega es considerada idólatra por muchos otros cristianos ya que utilizan iconos en sus adoraciones.  Sin embargo, si le preguntas a un católico romano o a un griego ortodoxo si Dios es Único, contestarán invariablemente: “¡Si!”.  Esta afirmación sin embargo, no les impide usar ídolos en sus ritos.  Lo mismo se aplica para los hindúes, que consideran a sus dioses como “manifestaciones” o “encarnaciones” de Un Dios Supremo.

Antes de concluir… hay muchas personas, que obviamente no hacen honor a la verdad, que quieren que la gente crea que  “Allah” es sólo un “dios” árabe[1], y que el Islam es completamente ajeno a una fe civilizada y monoteísta, sugiriendo que no tiene raíces en común con las religiones abrahámicas  (i.e. cristianismo y judaísmo).  Decir que los musulmanes adoran a diferentes dioses porque dicen “Allah” en vez de Dios es tan ilógico como decir que los franceses adoran a otro Dios porque utilizan la palabra “Dieu”, que la gente hispano hablante adora a un Dios diferente porque dicen  “Dios” o que los hebreos adoran un Dios diferente porque a menudo lo llaman “Yahweh”.  ¡Este es un argumento ridículo!  También debe mencionarse que afirmar que la lengua que cada uno habla tiene la única palabra correcta para mencionar a Dios, es equivalente a negar la universalidad del mensaje divino, el cual está dirigido a toda la humanidad y a cada una de las naciones, tribus y personas a quienes Dios envió profetas, quienes hablaron diferentes lenguas.

Nos gustaría preguntar a nuestros lectores qué piensan acerca de los motivos de esta gente.  El motivo es que la verdad máxima del Islam tiene bases sólidas y que su inquebrantable creencia en la Unicidad de Dios es irreprochable.  Por esto, algunos cristianos no pueden criticar sus doctrinas directamente, pero inventan cosas acerca del Islam que no son verdad para que el público pierda el deseo de aprender más.  Si el Islam fuese presentado de otra manera al mundo, seguramente haría que mucha gente reconsidere y reevalúe sus propias creencias.  Es muy posible que cuando se percaten de que existe una religión universal que enseña a las personas a adorar y amar a Dios con un genuino monoteísmo, sientan al menos la necesidad de reexaminar las bases de sus propias creencias y doctrinas.

Sharia Islamic law and forbidden in Sharia- Sharia la ley islamica y lo prohibido en la Sharia

Sharia

sharia or sharia or castellanizado to jaría, Sharia or saria (in Arabic, شَرِيعَة šarīʿa, "track or path"), called occasionally in Western media Muslim law (and not Islamic law, since arguably actually inspired by Islam, but it is not irrefutable as the Qur'an), is the body of Islamic law. It constitutes a detailed code of conduct, which includes also the rules concerning modes of worship, the criteria of morality and life, the things permitted or prohibited, the spacing rules between good and evil.

Is adopted by the majority of Muslims, in a greater or lesser degree, as a matter of personal conscience. It can also be formally instituted as law by certain States and thus also the courts can ensure compliance. Many Islamic countries have adopted elements of Sharia law in areas such as inheritance and wills, the regulation of banking activities and contracts.

Etymology

the word "sharia" literally means "the path to the spring". It denotes a way Islamic live that he is more than a criminal justice system. Sharia is a religious code for living, but more in the style of a right, other than the Bible Code, which offers a moral system for the Christian, not specifically codified their conduct.

Sources of Sharia

sources of Sharia law are the Quran, the Hadith, the ÿma' (consensus) and the Iÿtihad (effort). If the Qur'an is a divine revelation, the ' Hadith is a collection of facts and sayings of Muhammad collected by some of his colleagues and is attributed to the different degree of reliability depending on their origin. The texts collected by Malik, Bukhaari, Muslim, Tirmidzi, Abú Daúd, Oyasumi e Ibn Maajah are regarded as the most authentic.

El Islam does not establish a church, and therefore every faithful must be able to interpret the Islamic rule, but to help in this appeared different schools of interpretation.

Legal schools around sharia

inside of sunni Islam there are four schools of legal thought, or fiqh, which are interpretations of Sharia law carried out by a faqui (from the Arabic faqih, "jurist"):

of fiqh hanafi, who is the fiqh compiled by PI3 Abu Hanifa Numan ibn Orionis, aided by Abu Yusuf Muhammad ash-Shaibani, Zufar and others, all known for their great knowledge of the religious problems.

.The fiqh maliki, founded by Malik ibn Anas.

.The shafi fiqh'i, founded by Mohámed ibn Idris at Al - Yafi'een.

.The hanbali, founded by Ahmad ibn Hanbal fiqh.

All of them were produced, in its present form during the two hundred years following the death of Muhammad.

On the other hand, the tasawuf judge sentences from the point of view of concentration, devotion, purity of souls and the effect of prayers in morals and manners. Thus, the tasauf measured the spirit of obedience and sincerity, while fiqh monitors the rules that should be followed up in its minor details.

Hadd

Within the sharia hadd exists a specific type of offenses known as hadd offenses. They are crimes punishable by severe penalties such as stoning, flogging and even amputation of a hand. However, not all these penalties are universally adopted in Islamic countries.

Some countries, as for example Saudi Arabia, claim to live under the rule of the sharia in all its purity, and apply the penalties referred to hadd offenses. In other cases, as for example Pakistan, not true. The majority of the countries of the Middle East, including Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, have not adopted the hadd offenses as part of their state laws.

Offenses hadd imply specific penalties. Violations include sexual relations out of wedlock (adultery), false accusations, drinking alcohol, theft and assault on routes. Sexual offenses carry a penalty of stoning or flogging, while theft is punished with the amputation of a hand.

Many Islamic countries define adultery and drinking alcohol as criminal offenses, but not hadd offenses, since they do not carry such terrible penalties. These illegal acts are punishable with prison sentences.

Sharia, in addition, includes as serious offences being homosexual, the disobedience of women towards the authority of the father or husband, relations with infidels belonging to the non-Islamic world and non-compliance with the dress code of women, which, if not followed, is considered immoral and guilty in case of violation.

Nota: traducción en español

La Sharia
La sharía o sharia o castellanizado a jaría, charía o saría (en árabe, شَرِيعَة šarīʿa, "vía o senda"), llamada en ocasiones en los medios occidentales ley musulmana (y no ley islámica, ya que podría decirse en realidad que está inspirada en el Islam, pero no es irrefutable como el Corán), es el cuerpo de Derecho islámico. Constituye un código detallado deconducta, en el que se incluyen también las normas relativas a los modos del culto, los criterios de la moral y de la vida, las cosas permitidas o prohibidas, las reglas separadoras entre el bien y el mal.
Está adoptada por la mayoría de los musulmanes, en un mayor o menor grado, como una cuestión de conciencia personal. Asimismo puede ser formalmente instituida como ley por ciertos Estados y así también los tribunales pueden velar por su cumplimiento. Muchos países islámicos han adoptado elementos de la sharía en áreas como lasherencias y los testamentos, la regulación de las actividades bancarias y de los contratos.
Etimologia
La palabra "sharía" significa literalmente "el camino al manantial". Denota un modo islámico de vivir que es más que un sistema de justicia criminal. Sharía es un código religioso para vivir, pero más al estilo de un código de derecho, distinto a la Biblia, que ofrece un sistema moral para el cristiano, no codificando específicamente su conducta.
Fuentes de la Sharia
Las fuentes de la sharía son el Corán, el hadiz, el ÿma’ (consenso) y el Iÿtihad (esfuerzo). Si el Corán es una revelación divina, el 'hadiz es una recopilación de hechos y dichos de Muhammad recogidos por algunos de sus compañeros y a los que se atribuye distinto grado de fiabilidad en función de su procedencia. Los textos recopilados por Malik, Bujarí, Muslim, Tirmidzi, Abú Daúd, Nasai e Ibn Majah son considerados como los más auténticos.
El Islam no establece una iglesia, y por lo tanto cada fiel debe ser capaz de interpretar la norma islámica, pero para ayudar en esto aparecieron diferentes escuelas de interpretación.
Escuelas jurídicas en torno a la sharía
Dentro del Islam sunní existen cuatro escuelas de pensamiento jurídico, o fiqh, que son interpretaciones de la sharía llevadas a cabo por un faquí (del árabe faqih, "jurista"):
El fiqh hanafí, que es el fiqh recopilado por Abu Hanifa Numán ibn Tabit, ayudado por Abu Yusuf Muhammad ash-Shaibani, Zufar y otros, todos conocidos por su gran conocimiento de los problemas religiosos.
.El fiqh malikí, fundado por Malik ibn Anas.
.El fiqh shafi'í, fundado por Mohámed ibn Idris al-Yafí.
.El fiqh hanbalí, fundado por Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
Todos ellos fueron elaborados, en su forma actual, durante los doscientos años siguientes a la muerte de Mahoma.
De otra parte, el tasawuf juzga las oraciones desde el punto de vista de la concentración, devoción, pureza de las almas y del efecto de las oraciones en la moral y los modales. Así, el tasaúf mide el espíritu de obediencia y sinceridad, mientras que el fiqh vigila las reglas que se deben seguir hasta en sus menores detalles.
El hadd
Dentro de la sharía existe un tipo específico de ofensas conocidas como las ofensas hadd. Son crímenes castigados con penas severas, tales como la lapidación, los azotes y aun la amputación de una mano. Sin embargo, no todas estas penas se adoptan universalmente en los países islámicos.
Algunos países, como por ejemplo Arabia Saudí, afirman vivir bajo el imperio de la sharía en toda su pureza, y aplican las penas mencionadas ante las ofensas hadd. En otros, como por ejemplo Pakistán, no ocurre lo mismo. La mayoría de los países del Oriente Próximo, incluyendo a Jordania, Egipto, Líbano y Siria, no han adoptado las ofensas hadd como parte de sus legislaciones estatales.
Las ofensas hadd implican penas específicas. Las transgresiones incluyen relaciones sexuales fuera del matrimonio (adulterio), acusaciones falsas, beber alcohol, robo y asalto en rutas. Las ofensas sexuales conllevan una pena de lapidación o azotes, mientras que el robo está penado con la amputación de una mano.
Muchos países islámicos definen al adulterio y al consumo de alcohol como ofensas criminales, pero no como ofensas hadd, por cuanto que no conllevan penas tan terribles. Esos actos ilegales se castigan con penas de prisión.
La sharía, además, incluye como graves faltas el ser homosexual, la desobediencia de las mujeres hacia la autoridad del padre o el esposo, las relaciones con infieles pertenecientes al mundo no islámico y el no cumplimiento de las normas de vestimenta de las mujeres, a las que, en caso de incumplimiento, se considera inmorales y culpables en caso de violación.
