What is ';real Islam'; and what is a false representation of what is has become today?

Real Islam is accepting that there is only one God and that he has power over EVERYTHING, it means peace, it means modesty, humility, it basically means all the good aspects in the world combined. Islam teaches that Allah encompasses everything and that he is always Almighty, Beneficent, and Merciful.





A false representation of Islam is Islamic extremists (terrorists) and all the harm they are causing to the world. They must be out of their minds, because what they are doing, it's nowhere NEAR Islam.





This was a good question to ask, btw. I hope this helped!What is ';real Islam'; and what is a false representation of what is has become today?
You have hit the nail on the head.


We are being told two versions of the so called truth.


It is about time that the muslims sort themselves out and get their story straight.


I know which one I believe. It is the nasty one.


Muslims are permitted to lie to unbelievers to defeat them.


The two forms are


1. Takiyya - saying something that is not true


2. Kitman - lying by omission.


In a court of law it would be called a conspiracy and all would be guilty.What is ';real Islam'; and what is a false representation of what is has become today?
Real islam is verrrrry simple. La ilaha illa allah Muhammad rasuul allah (There is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger) The false interpretation of islam is one word... terrorism. Its so funny to me how a couple of tv stations can fool a whole nation. On the other hand ';modern'; islam is also wrong.
Basically the five pillars of Islam....





Shahada - witnessing there is no other God and Mohammed is the messenger





Sawm - fasting, this challenge is checking your patience towards God and others, to know how it feels like for some people who cannot afford to eat a peace of bread.





Zakat - giving charity to the poor and needy





Salat - worshipping Allah, we favour him as he favours us





Hajj - unless you cannot afford it, you have to make a pilgrimage to Hajj. Its really nice especially when your looking for a religious spirituality. You pray above Mount Arafat, and this lets you think, and if you pray in mount arafat all your sins are forgiven. And when you go there, there are all different cultures blacks, whites, chinese, indian, pakistanis, iranian, turkish, american, english, african. All types, and some people say people can never get on?








However the role of Islam is not going to America and bombing innocents but instead bombing the troops in Iraq whom are killing my family and people.
There is only one allah... allah has given his law in the form of the koran... there is only one koran... ALL who are in submission to allah and his law are islam... there is only one islam... ALL who are of islam are called muslims... ALL muslims must obey, absolutely and with out exception, the law of allah as it is given in the koran... if they do not they are not of islam and are not in submission to allah.... there is no such thing as a ';moderate'; muslim... or any other kind of muslim... only those who obey the law of allah as it is in the koran are muslims...no exceptions
';Real Islam'; is non-violent...





Fundamentalists ruin its name.
Zensunni is a syncretic religious belief combining principles of Zen Buddhism and Sunni Islam. In the fictional far future of human civilization portrayed in the series, various ethnic and political groups adhere to this worldview, including the Fremen, originally the ';Zensunni Wanderers.';





In Terminology of the Imperium (the glossary of the novel Dune), Frank Herbert provides the following definition:





ZENSUNNI: followers of a schismatic sect that broke away from the teachings of Maometh (the so-called ';Third Muhammed';) about 1381 B.G. The Zensunni religion is noted chiefly for its emphasis on the mystical and a reversion to ';the ways of the fathers.'; Most scholars name Ali Ben Ohashi as leader of the original schism but there is some evidence that Ohashi may have been merely the male spokesman for his second wife, Nisai.





According to Terminology of the Imperium, the planet Poritrin is ';considered by many Zensunni Wanderers as their planet of origin, although clues in their language and mythology show far more ancient planetary roots.';[2] The former Imperial capital (and later prison world) Salusa Secundus was ';the second stopping point in migrations of the Wandering Zensunni. Fremen tradition says they were slaves on S.S. for nine generations.';[3] The ';third stopping place'; is noted as Bela Tegeuse,[4] and Harmonthep was the ';sixth stop.';[5]





The ascension of Paul Atreides as Emperor in Dune and the expansion of Fremen influence throughout the Imperium widely popularized the study of Zensunni beliefs. It is noted in Terminology of the Imperium that the Orange Catholic Bible ';contains elements of most ancient religions, including ... Zensunni Catholicism.'; [1]





Herbert ';sprinkled Zen ideas throughout Dune,'; as when Reverend Mother Mohiam queries Paul: [6]





';Ever sift sand through a screen?'; she asked.


The tangential slash of her question shocked his mind into a higher awareness: Sand through a screen, he nodded.


';We Bene Gesserit sift people to find the humans.';





This is a Zen kōan, or a story, dialogue, question, or statement ';that sounds like gibberish, but also like it might be incredibly profound, provided you think about it long enough.';[6] A kōan generally contains aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet may be accessible to intuition. Zen masters ';developed this trick to 'open up' the mind of their students without filling it with their own opinions.'; [6] Herbert himself noted in ';Dune Genesis,'; his own analysis of the development of the novel, that ';As in an Escher lithograph, I involved myself with recurrent themes that turn into paradox. The central paradox concerns the human vision of time. What about Paul's gift of prescience — the Presbyterian fixation? For the Delphic Oracle to perform, it must tangle itself in a web of predestination. Yet predestination negates surprises and, in fact, sets up a mathematically enclosed universe whose limits are always inconsistent, always encountering the unprovable. It's like a kōan, a Zen mind breaker.'; [7]





In the Brian Herbert/Kevin J. Anderson Legends of Dune prequel trilogy, before and during the Butlerian Jihad the Zensunnis were brought as slaves from their homeworlds (like Harmonthep) to places like Poritrin. After the slave revolt on Poritrin, many Zensunnis escaped to Arrakis; these Zensunni wanderers would become the first Fremen.





Terminology of the Imperium also defines several Zensunni terms:





AULIYA: In the Zensunni Wanderers' religion, the female at the left hand of God; God's handmaiden.


FIQH: knowledge, religious law; one of the half-legendary origins of the Zensunni Wanderers' religion.


ILM: theology; science of religious tradition; one of the half-legendary origins of the Zensunni Wanderers' faith.


MISR: the historical Zensunni(Fremen) term for themselves: ';The People.';


SHAH-NAMA: the half-legendary First Book of the Zensunni Wanderers.


ULEMA: a Zensunni doctor of theology.
